  4. I'll have to get the art book for sure. It's amazing to see Chappie's functional-as-a-lawnmower design support both his role as a menacing police drone as well as a robotic child.
  5. You can see the model on Jackman's desktop in the trailer #2.
  6. I remembered the infamous "well, it was better than Twilight" category from the "worst SciFi" thread, then I imagined the studio thinking that if you need a robotic actor, get Kristen Steward... Watch the first movie of the original trilogy, then jump straight to Fincher's version. The other two films are not as bad as the books, but only for Noomi Rapace, and they feel much like made for TV.
  7. I mostly work with a paint:thinner ratio of 2:1 with Tamiya acrylics. Fortunately, I collected a lot of those semi-transparent containers for 24mm films when they were still around. They're perfect to store mixed paints.
  8. I hope it will be a bit more accessible than GITS Innocence.
  9. I Never really cared for the design, but your kit looks spectacular! Congratulations for another step forward.

  11. Decals are on: Thank you. Fine Molds made a really great kit - on sale at HJL right now: http://www.hlj.com/product/FNMSW-11/Sci You can see my finished work here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/romansland/sets/72157624704427434/
  12. If you can't remaster the Original Trilogy's movies one more time (yet), there's still the original comic series to make over. http://www.theforce.net/story/front/Remastered_Marvel_Star_Wars_Adaptation_Coming_161575.asp While Howard Chaykin is one of my all time favorite comic artist, the distinctive, abstract style he had in his early days is completely ruined from issue #2 on, where Steve Leialoha takes over the inking from Chaykin. The massive plastering of text balloons isn't helpful, either. Here's an example of the remastered/re-colored issue: You find an entertaining look at the original comics here: http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/07/16/touring-marvels-star-wars-1-vader-needs-a-drink/
  13. Looks like it. I used it on my 1/144 Falcon, and it works great giving life to those surfaces. You should thin the paint a bit more than normal, and don't worry if you wander off the selected areas. Irregularity is wanted here.
  14. Considering the big names that are associated with the product, the result looks rather underwhelming: I think the final execution unfortunately accentuates the weak basic design of the machine. It would look better with a heavy weathered paint scheme.
