Thanks again for the pics - Wave really nailed the designs. The old kits were pretty much rubbish.

I want to see that VF-11D with a russian camo scheme... - Arming my Gun Platform:

Awesome Cosmo Falcon box illustrations courtesy of Hobbysearch

A timeless beauty, thanks for the pics.

I'm sure they have a license agreement, so they're more like "ka-CHING".
-
Now who makes a 1/48 launch arm?
-
According to HLJ, there's also the option to build it as a two-seater.
-
Give them some incentive and buy a lot of their 1/72 Frontier Valks...
-
Apparently we also get some bonus missiles with the kit
-
Superbly balanced paint scheme, Chris. Good luck with the decals.
-
Does that mean we miss out the Tenjin painting of the S? Nice move of Hase, anyway.

I guess the best solution would be to not apply a panel line wash to the flat areas to push the lines back a bit. Of course Moebius should have done a better job there. The kit has the same size as the Monogram Galactica and thus is in scale with the Moebius Nu Galactica. One more shot of the Viper (kit is from a fellow modeler) -
The Galactica is scheduled for early 2014. Like I said before, Moebius used the Timeslip kit for reference, so it's as accurate as you get. In the meantime, you can get the new Classic Viper from HLJ: http://www.hlj.com/product/MOE940/Sci Beware that, apparently, you can get only 80s style, deeply plowed panel lines from Moebius' contractor: (to the right is the Monogram/Revell Viper with manually scribed lines)

Hadn't they already learned how to turn pigs into fuel in the 3rd?
-
I switched to Tamiya acrylics 20 years ago and I encourage everyone to give them a try. I doubt the fumes (alcohol) do more damage to your brain than a few beers. Makes the hobby so much more convenient.

Looks like a Robocop vs. The Cylons movie.

Best Movie Badguy of all time?

"It's just a flesh woond" - *ka-PLOW* His south african accent really tops it off. -
More Yuki from C3

Bandai: 1/72 Macross VF-1J Max and Millia Ver.

This should push more people to put on their man pants and paint the models themselves. So it's actually part of a secret plan... -
I thinks it's Blomkamp's personal experience that there are places on this earth that defy all subtlety. Without the juxtaposition of these places, the over-the-top gated community and the not-so-over-the-top latino ghetto, the film would have been just another action flick. A feeling of uneasiness comes from the realization that the SF gloss over is actually quite thin, that, in many aspects, the world of Elysium is closer than we might want. And compared to "District 9" the level of filth is dialed down a few notches. The L.A. of Elysium is not a bad place to live (it still has some form of law enforcement, working opportunities and hospitals) compared to what you see in real world based movies like "Cidade de Deus" or "Gomorra", where civilization has deteriorated completely.
-
I can't believe how people complain about a lack of subtlety in this movie when we have cardboard comic book villains and heroes in any other SF movie.
-
Got the art book today and it's full of the coolest robot & spaceship designs and some Syd Mead to top it off. Highly recommended, even if you didn't like the movie that much.

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII

If you talk about the Su-34, it may not be as sexy as the Flankers, but it's still sexy as hell. -
The RG GP-01s (and the Gundam 3.0) are the best things Bandai has released. The inner leg frames are mechanical wonders, and I like the overall design and the level of details they put in there.
