  1. Do you plan to have the parts 3D-printed, or do you just use the software for virtual prototyping?
  2. I watched the first swedish movie years ago, great suspense thriller, and Noomi Rapace really stole the whole show. The following 2 movies were pretty much TV material. But I like Fincher's version much better, the actors and cinematography are in another league, soundtrack is brilliant, too, and Rooney Mara was a great replacement for Rapace. However, after reading the books, I don't see why Larsson is regarded as a talented writer. The first book is ok as a standalone novel, but the trilogy is a lesser leftist revenge fantasy (and I don't consider me conservative in the slightest way), filled with pretentious clichés: the goody-two-shoes journalist, who can't help any attractive woman wanting too sleep with him (a thinly disguised self-image of the author), the super hacker punk girl, who can't help giving up her lesbian ambitions and falls for the protagonist, too, every rich guy or politician being corrupt, a nazi, a serial killer, a pedophile, or a combination of these, etc. The whole conspiracy feels totally forced, as does the conclusion of the trilogy. Let's see if Fincher's movie ever gets a sequel.
  3. Thanks for the flowers, and I'd love to get my hands on the kit, but I have to assemble a house first, and that might take the rest of the year...
  4. Easily a collection centerpiece. Too bad you can only assemble it with telekinesis in zero gravity...
  5. The June issue if Hobby Japan has the Ray painted in flat colors: GU, please share some pics of your build.
  6. An impressive build of the Darold carrier was posted by Fernando over at Hobbyfanatics: http://www.hobbyfanatics.com/index.php?/topic/41822-gamilon-carrier-darold/
  7. I loved Miller's Sin City Comics, especially "A Dame to kill for", but as a movie I think it looks pretty trashy. Eva Green is The Dame, though.
  8. Don't forget to grab one of Hasegawa's new photoetch detail sets: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10135348
  9. Check out my Idolo garage kit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/romansland/sets/72157622646920042/
  10. I liked the original series, but I was about 12 when I watched it. Moore's Galactica is on another level. Transcendence looks good from the trailer, but we'll see if it's actually a good movie.
  11. It looks fantastic. Congratulations on nailing down the shapes from all those floppy line arts. Now I hope somebody builds one in the near future.
  12. Here's your economically resized capital ship from Megahouse:
  13. Next Koto ZOE kit is Dolores. Not my favorite design, and I expected Nephtis to come first. I wonder if they'll include Idolo in the lineup, too.
  14. Scarlett is on a superhuman trip lately. Guess I'll stick with Under the Skin
  15. This one is in Germany: http://www.formulor.de/ Fairly affordable offers.
  16. Wouldn't it be far cheaper to go the laser cut route with this design? The base would have to be simplified and loose the beveled edges, of course, but you could still engrave the kite.
  17. I think a key point of the movie is that it's more related to our current reality instead of an ultra hight-tech SF universe. The suits from the Manga are too cool to fit in there. And the general audience will perceive an closed armor suit as a robot rather than a human fighter.
  18. Looks great. Do you think your decals still work? I started making vector art of them and can dig them out if you want to print them for yourself.
  19. The VFX reel contains everything you need to watch of this movie.
