  1. I love the characters & the world; this is one franchise where I don't mind more of the same.
  2. If you're not filthy rich, paint your models yourself, and don't have unlimited display estate at your disposal, the choice is pretty obvious.
  3. The colors are somewhat dubious in the concept art for MGS 4, but I also think that Kotobukiya went a bit overboard with the teal. The lighter metallic version seems a better match. http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120223015122/metalgear/images/d/d0/Ray.jpg Interestingly, the Three A Ray has similar, more saturated colors. If I get the Ray, I'll go with the MGS 2 colors.
  4. First testshot pics of Tarangus' 1/48 Viggen: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i93fjc13pzdbapf/TJrVvHik7T
  5. I was of the same opinion when the kit first came out, but then I built mine almost straight out of the box. You can make or break the kit with the paint job, and things are certainly tricky here. Among others, I airbrushed a distinct shadow line along the armor, and the kit looks good enough for me. Accurizing the armor the way the japanese modeler did is a mountain of work that doesn't pay off IMO.
  6. Stunning build of the Nu Galactica kit with lights, published in Model Grafix: http://dorobou.blog.so-net.ne.jp/archive/c2304477968-1
  7. Interesting to see how the simple black triangle behind the canopy lengthens the cockpit and makes the nose appear sleeker and Tomcat-like. Good looking paintjob, but since you went for a worn look on the fuselage, the decals could be given a very light overspray of the hull color to tie them in more.
  8. Excellent finish on the Skull Squadron, but the Max & Milia versions really bring out the best of this design. I see you dropped the ventral fin like I did, this bird has too many wings already. Do your recent kits have a different canopy from the Milia aircraft?
  9. It's Hasegawa's 1/200 Shuttle + Hubble set. - That's an impressive squadron you got there. Did you ever build any russian birds?
  10. More toys: ROBOCOP Real Figure Collection (Gashapon?) ED, Robocops & a Cylon
  11. We may or may not get our Blade Runner sequel, but here's another chance to get out hands on the infamous "Deckard's Blaster" http://www.daikikougyou.com/2014item/blaster/blaster.html 1/1 Blaster Gun Prop Replica ¥12,600
  12. That looks fantastic. I think Sentinel made the best sculpt of the Jehuty; too bad it's so small & expensive. I'm in the final stages with my Koto Jehuty.
  13. It's only a small step from Peter O'Toole's Lawrence to Michael Fassbender's David in "Prometheus". He sabotages the expedition to keep things moving, gets his human comrades killed, looses his head and single-handedly (almost) saves a doomed movie.
