  1. The Bandai kit of the Falken isn't too bad See also this thread.
  2. So did I get this into the right order: Shaw is apparently still on the ground when the SJ ship is launched, the Prometheus goes into pursuit, and just before it rams into the alien ship, an escape vessel (with Vickers on board) it jettisoned. Vickers joins Shaw, then the SJ ship crashes? Then we could have a similar ending with Carpenter's "The Thing"...
  3. Anubis/HD edition of the Kotobukiya Jehuty
  4. Sure is, but the important thing to note is that he is not fully grown yet (still human sized?)
  5. The Alien bits we see in the latest trailer seem to be more of a fishy/wormy nature so far (watch the autodoc scene). But then there's also the infant space jockey and the "engineer"/Voldemort in a Giger rubber suit.
  6. Check this out: http://www.hlj.com/product/ROB72025
  7. I looks like there are Xenomorphs in Prometheus, at least hints to them
  8. Yup, that's the Gadessa, a really cool design from Gundam 00. I only think the original colors are horrible, so I made up a custom color scheme. I also put some stuff in the neck area.
  9. More (and bigger) pics at Hobbysearch
  10. I have the 1.4 TDI which has an official figure of 54 mpg in mixed conditions, and I had a trip without city traffic, at very moderate speed, so believe me that I got in at 68 mpg. There even was an "3L" edition of the model that had an official figure of 78 mpg. The car is, as Eugimon described, a soda can (aluminum space frame, less than 1.000 kgs) driven by a lawn mower engine (3 cylinders turbocharged diesel), but it drives like an Audi and makes you feel on the right branch of automotive evolution. The safety issue has become an arms race: The heavier your opponents get, the more armor you have to pack on your car... PS last year Audi presented the new A2 concept car with electric engine, aluminum and carbon body and a weight of 1,150 kg including the battery.
  11. Ok I got myself a new car at the beginning of the year and now went and visited an old friend in the north. The whole trip was 680 km and I made it with less than one filling of the tank. This means a fuel consumption of about 3,5 liter per 100 km. (that's 1,47 gallons per 100 miles for you aliens). Now, the car, an Audi A2, is from 2001. W T F ?! Obviously for the last ten years the majority of automotive engineers is busy placing more cupholders in the interiors or putting jet engines into the latest haute volée extravaganza, all the while promising us the electro-/hydrogen-/etc-engine is just around the corner, instead of building really efficient cars. /rant
  12. I spotted Luca Zampriolo aka LucaZ in the design crew. See his work at http://kallamity.com/
  13. Go to see it whooshing around. The rudder test at around 2 minutes looks totally cool.
