    Personally, I like that they brought Leia into it and Reva was pretty clever in doing that. Pluck on that last string to Gail Organa, and it almost didn't work. Which I can believe, as Obi-Wan saw his entire world crumbled to dust and lost pretty much everything. He was clinging to his mission to Luke as his last thread, and though it is not stated, I wonder if him not using the Force is that, like older Luke, he severed himself from it, or allowed his perception of it to fade. But Leia is important as well, being Luke's twin and another possible Force user, as Yoda alluded to. And seeing how they don't know about Luke, the child of Obi-Wan's old friend becomes the most obvious lure. They just know that he is in hiding, not that he's protecting someone. A common misconception. I only reply to threads on shows I watch and like. Very seldom will I respond to a show I do not watch. So the majority of my comments are, yes, for shows I like.

    Well, I didn't make any story decisions for them, and just have what they've shown to go on. That being the case, this is not the Obi-wan from the prequels. He's defeated. He lost. And he did what he told that young Jedi to do, bury your saber and disappear into obscurity. He has only one mission and that is keeping Luke safe. As far as he knew, Leia was safe, and in fact only came to danger because Reva wanted him to come out of hiding and used her out of happenstance. And it took Gail going to Tattoine and asking him directly before he acceded. And c'mon, if he had told Gail once again to find someone else, that would have been even further reason to complain. If he stays on Tattoine he's abandoning Leia, if he goes to help, he's abandoning Luke... Catch-22, damned if you do, damned if you don't. But also, secrecy was the key as far as he saw in order to protect his charges, which I think did include Leia. We never heard about them being siblings until after he'd died, and after Luke was able to protect his thoughts enough to protect his knowledge of her. For the most part anyway, but Obi-wan had to tell him at that point anyway, because if Luke failed, then she would be the back-up plan. And yes, this is one of the reasons I don't generally like prequels. The twisting and tweaking to fit a story into established history invariably leaves cracks. But cracks or not, I am enjoying it.

    That would be huge at 1/72! A Battroid is about the same size as a normal Zentradi, so imagine a model that can fit a Battroid in the cockpit!😱 Still, would get!

    I'm liking it. I'm a little leery or prequels, mainly because I know where the characters are already going, but this is pretty good. Has some good drama and action and I'm liking the interplay between the characters.

    ...and... Saw this over on 'Pengbuzz World Creations.' Very cool!

    I recall reading a fanfic many yarhens ago, where the RagTag fleet did encounter a Macross fleet. They mistook the Zentradi for Titans at first. Don't recall the name though, sorry.

    Very true. Try putting it on your phone and see how much area it takes up, or how much would be automatically cropped to fit.

    After cleaning up the seam lines along the blisters, I finally got the top deck in place. There's some over spray to clean up from the test paint over the seams, but a little thinner on a Q-tip will clean that up.

    It's not your fault @pengbuzz. Just keep turning and burning, it will all turn out alright. Just about as right as your dio, great work! @derex3592 Lightly sanding the whole fret may help, letting the paint get something to 'bite' on, as it were. Good looking 'case though. And I agree with Pengbuzz, that is from an inflatable bouncy house!

    Beautiful work! My one gripe, they die too quickly,..

    I really want a Captain Carter movie!!

    It doesn't look that way. It looks like his wife is still alive in this, whereas she and the kids are dead in the sequel book. As are Madmartigan and Sorsha. And he went by the name Thorn Drumhelller. So, hopefully not, unless they pick and choose from that plot and feed into a new story.

    Real nice work on that cockpit! (He wailed like a baby...) 😄 @pengbuzz Awesome!!

    Some great work @MechTech. I like the 'plaque' for the ARMOR.

    Hey, give it up to 1950's friges!😁

    Not so snappy as it used to be..?🤔

    He's reached the end of the bridge. That may be trying to tell us something... Looking forward to the trailer.

    Great work, @pengbuzz! Really like that you have it in-flight, and that shadow box just clinches it! @Urashiman Cool looking couple of jets, esp that exhaust nozzle. Very nice.
  23. Thom
    Four for four! I felt ep 3 was a bit light, but all of them have been pretty dang entertaining, ep 4 even more so.

    First teaser is out, and I have to say it looks pretty good. Not much about the story, obviously, but the visuals look nice, and it is good seeing Willow again! He did a pretty good voice-over. Rather than make a new thread, I am repurposing this. Go to last post.

    The only thing I missed about the new FX, was seeing the 'probes' being fired between the horns. That was always a great shot, and the moment looses some of its weight when they did it from a distance.
