electric indigo

They did already - the above screenshot is from the teaser, and the lower from the trailer. Note how motion blur and atmospheric effects were added, background composition was changed and the trees have disappeared altogether. By coincidence, I just watched a rerun of The Abyss on TV. The Deep Core set is the most convincing SF movie set I can remember, I loved the amount of detail, and the character interaction. Can't wait to see Avatar.

Great post, Ghost Train. And btw, the Airbus 400M just finished his maiden flight. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Airbus-Indu...400M/1623988/L/

I completed Idolo's body

Spaceship 2 is now VSS Enterprise

Sky Crawlers

I recently uploaded photos of my built and unbuilt MH kits to this flickr-album

IMO the grey parts accentuate the new IP parts for this kit. And on your enhanced screenshot we can see that the cockpit is the same as Brera's. Here's the shot from Ep 16

From the screenshots I have, all 3 VF-27 in the show are the "Kai" versions (with the "Ears"). It's a bit difficult to tell if the green ones actually have different cockpit viewports. Maybe Bandai just used green plastic for the test shots since it is closer to the final appeareance.

I'm not contradicting you there. Also, the Navi have help from inside the Marines. And it looks like they attempt a decapitation strike against the "Boss Ship".

I liked "Sky Captain", too, and I'd love to see another cool retro future movie like "Rocketeer". I just don't see how it could come from a 5 minute CG short like this.

It's easy to foresee that someone thinks the diplomatic solution takes too long/costs too much money/endangers "national security", so they go for the "blow up poo" option.

Kind of - there is a pretty large headshot in one of the later episodes. But it's the same head as Brera's, only green.

Impressive CGI, but does the world need another "Sky Captain meets ID4" movie?

Idolo gets some TRONlines

Hurry up before Bandai releases the 1/72 VF-171

More Tommy & Monster

plz build immediately kthx

Here are the pics attached Unfortunately, the next kit release will be the Tornado pack, so we won't see the Q-Rea before spring, if ever. Still wondering if they pull off the 1/48 VF-25.

Here is the Flickr album with more pics of the 1/48 and the Idol Master F-14.

I hate to burst your bubble, but the Minerva is a toy from Wave, in the same scale as the old Takara plastic kit, but even more ridiculously priced than those ebay offerings. http://www.hlj.com/product/WAVCJ-01 (There is still a slight chance at a 1/72 Fighter 1 if a certain someone gets his prioritys straight...) The Tomahawk is 1/72, btw.

Let me just sneak in this pic of the beautiful Minerva But there are also new photos of the Wave Tomahawk:
