  1. South African military supplier Paramount Group makes some wicked looking vehicles. I wonder when we'll see converted Marauders waltzing along in Beverly Hills.
  2. The larger kit (upper pic) is about 1/48 scale and has rubber/soft vinyl tracks (bound to disintegrate over time). The other kit is from the small scale kit series, but I don't know the actual scale/size.
  3. Can we agree that Bandai makes great VF-25 Battroids?
  4. The pic of the F-16 brings up a question that always puzzled me: Why are the AIM-120s preferably carried at the wingtips while the (presumably lighter) AIM-9s are on the underwing stations?
  5. I think both designs (Vox and Mave) owe a lot to 70s Design Pop Star Luigi Colani. Check out his aircraft desings, very outlandish stuff.
  6. I still have the feeling that there's too much "old school" thinking going on in another supposedly multi-billion dollar project. I imagine a rocket distributing a swarm of small, disposable recon drones, doing the same job at lower systemic costs.
  7. These 1/8 figures where printed & colored in one process, with the greyscale shading drawn directly from the 3D-scan: Shown at a 2011 exposition in Milan by german artist Karin Sander. This also works with colors, but I find the b/w versions even more interesting.
  8. The article seems to neglect Magneto, wether played by Ian McKellen or Michael Fassbender. A very powerful and ambiguous character in the movies, brought to live by talented actors.
  9. I don't understand the need for a hypersonic military aircraft. Why not just put the payload on a bunch of missiles?
  10. Hasegawa does not want to change the runners of their existing 1:48 Valkyrie and so they include the different leg parts in the runners for the FAST packs. They do that in other aircraft kits all the time.
  11. My personal gold standard for a detailed Monster is still Fernando's build of the 1/160 ARII kit. After all the years, the pics are still available in this gallery: http://webspace.webring.com/people/fa/amaclub/emgallery.html You might have to turn off Javascript to get rid of the pesky Webring overlay.
  12. Looks like a sequence that was cut from Sucker Punch...
  13. Any pics of pre-released kits on japanese modeler's blogs?
  14. I just stumbled across this great diorama by Sparrow: http://mini-sparrow.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2012/05/frx-00-ffr-41mr.html
  15. Now that's a really nice Star Destroyer you have there!
  16. Starring Scarlett Johansson as an alien life form that travels through Scotland to seduce random men and then kill them. Don't know if this even sees a wide release, but the trailer evokes some nice Lynch/Asian Horror Cinema moments.
