  1. @derex3592 That is an interesting looking ship. Better than the other Klingon designs, as in it doesn't look like it comes from Star Trek so you can put into a different 'universe.' Heck, break it in two and rotate both fifty degrees and you'll have two ships! As to Disco, I will say that Season 2 was actually pretty good. Better than Season 1, though neither was as bad as Season 3.
  2. This is the perfect place! Very nice!
  3. Watched it today - and it was okay. I find myself with the group, as there was too much comedy in this, which I was afraid of after Ragnorak. They didn't balance the need for relief (comedy) with the need for suspense (drama.) I didn't start really enjoying this movie until the third act, when drama had to supersede comedy. After that I as all in. I do miss Thor from the first and second movies and the Avenger films, where he took things, and acted, more seriously.
  4. Looks like some good detail in the 'pit.
  5. Just got an email stating that Modelwerks has finished their shift away from selling kits/conversions to strictly STL files. Shame in one way, in that this adds a 'middle man' in order for someone without a printer to get some parts made, but at least they are still available. https://modelwerkshop.com/
  6. I think it's the og series theme. Don't remember a remake in '91, and thoroughly enjoyed the 2009 movie!
  7. And now I have the theme to 'Land of the Lost' in my head, so thanks.
  8. @derex3592 "USS Stingray to HMS Titanic, be advised Starfleet border command has had reports of Romulan activity in your area. We advise you check your speed and keep a look-out. Good luck. Love the 'canvas' covers. Real nice work,
  9. I repositioned the RCS quads from the cut out panels to the new trialing edge of the saucer. A little messy but some CA and sanding with smooth that all out. That should have been done before the upper/lower saucer halves were glued together. And then I skinned the opening. The new shuttle bay doors will be in the 'corners' and will be the last panels to go in. Those doors will be inset, so I'll need to frame and add them before gluing those opening shut. More to come!

  10. That is looking incredible!
  11. @Urashiman Just reiterate to yourself, like a mantra, 'I rebuilt the entire nose. I rebuilt the entire nose. I rebuilt the entire nose...' You got this!
  12. Indeed, an awesome collection! Makes me wish they would do a Macross series just about them.
  13. Main turrets are done, including secondaries though not in this pic. Construction is almost finished. And since that's not done, I started something new! USS Stingay, NCC-1911, a single nacelle border patrol destroyer, made from the 1/1000 Enterprise kit. Have to box that in a little bit...
  14. "The living room, the dining room - the variable fighter room..."
  15. All fans of Robotech, you are not to blame. Do yourself a favor. Come to Macross. They have cookies! And on the plus side, (spoilery)
  16. Really liking that Spit now @MechTech!
  17. Caught up now to episode 7 now and I'm really enjoying it! I love the tie in between Eleven's youth and Vecna. Nicely tied together. I have to fight myself to keep from binging the rest.!
  18. Despite their divergent courses, and HG's choke-hold on the West, Macross itself has only grown and expanded while the Robotech branch has stagnated. I think there has only really been the three chapters in Robotech, the Macross Saga, The Masters and the Third Robotech War. All constrained in their story telling, esp the last two, seeing as HG were using visuals from three completely different anime. Not the best start but also not bad either, at least from my then13 year old perspective. But that's been it, and it has more to do with HG's lack of creativity and the need to continually ride on Kawamori's coat tails. HG has had a number of sequel ideas over the decades, but that has been all they've been, just unrealized ideas and continued boasting of something grander on the way. Shame really, as I recall reading the books by Kinney, again my 13 year old self, and they were at least alright. But then compare that to M7, the tie-in games, Frontier and Delta and the rich history they all came from. HG had a chance, but they let it slip away.
  19. What I keep wondering is why people keeping waiting for Robotech stuff when they know it is just watered-down Macross? I know HG had a lock on the Western market, but I still managed to get the original series DVDs on my shelf.
  20. I've had good and 'ho-hum' experience with Academy. Here's to hoping for a good turn!
  21. One awesome Eagle!! Or is that the title to the next Iron Eagle movie..?
  22. Fantastic!!
  23. Watched First Kill, and it was actually pretty good. Romeo and Juliette meets vampires and monster hunters. Maybe a little too teen-soap a times, but entertaining. And Legacies. Saw the first few episodes of season 1 and it's not bad. Has a Nancy Drew vibe and better special effects than First Kill.
