  1. Argh, the SMS action base sold out, too, on HLJ.
  2. My suggestion would be to keep the current format with the kits sorted by maker and then provide links to MW members' galleries on the specific kit's page.
  3. There are blades made for use with a compass, and you can cut a circle from airbrush masking film with that. It might take a few atttemps until you hit the perfect diameter, but I find this method much more convenient than the masking tape way in this kind of situations.
  4. It would be nice if some could scan the glorious boxart.
  5. I was under the impression the "New Frontiersman" wasn't exactly the newspaper with the best reputation. More like these websites that tell you what "really" happened at 9/11.
  6. Thank you for stealing my plan. My own build is forever on hold since I want to recast the legs and use them on my Bandai Battroid. I also made a vacuformed canopy, IMO a must for an otherwise beautiful kit.
  7. You are right. I hate you.
  8. New pics of the Wave kits from Model Grafix
  9. Scans of the new Model Grafix issue are up. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?m20ykwdlp2j It has the VF-25 Battroid with a detailed upgrade guide, armored VF-0, VF-4 Battroid, and the Aoshima Moto Slave! You'll also see a VF-25 in an interesting aggressor paint scheme...
  10. I think it falls back on the talent of the writer (and the support of the studio). If the producers stick to the original too much, you end up basically with a piece of fan-fiction (see also: the Trek movies). I was a big fan of the original Galactica in my youth and I love the new series all the more, because they ignored all the fandom and developed an original update to modern day (ok they also happened to get some capable actors and brilliant CGI). Some established heroes also get a well-needed kick in the a$$ within their own media (Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight" Batman and Howard Chaykin's "The Shadow" come to mind) and I expect no less from movie remakes.
  11. Especially since she is wearing only half of the bikini.
  12. I agree that the mechanical design of Ikuto Yamashita has yet to be surpassed. Does anybody have a clue what is going on in his Dengeki Hobby Magazine side story "NGE Anima"?
  13. Is that the Fine Molds kit? Don't forget to post pics of the finished model.
  14. Model Grafix: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V147IKGI Next issue has the Battroid.
  15. Even more crucial: Who will play Faye?
  16. Now that you mention it - is that it?
  17. What I'm collecting at the moment: I kill giants A somewhat twisted child's story published by Image, I love the art and storytelling. The final issue lies ahead, can't wait to see where it will go in the end. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=16178 DMZ Civil war in the US. Manhattan is the DMZ, where journalist Matty Roth tries to survive the struggles of the powers that rule this world. I read the TPBs, and each one of them is like a really great movie. http://www.dccomics.com/vertigo/graphic_novels/?gn=5272 The Nightly News Very twisted story and very wicked art by Jonathan Hickman. Gives graphic storytelling a well-deserved kick in the butt. http://www.pronea.com/tnn.html
  18. Does somebody know the name of this unit and if it is released yet?
  19. Here's another useful pic in case you want to go crazy on the details.
  20. I've seem the "Assault" remake with Ethan Hawke and found it sucked majorly except for the opening sequence where his team is killed. Watch "Nid de guêpes" (engl. title "The Nest") sometime to see how it should be done, you won't be disppointed.
  21. Same here. Should be a good way to compensate the higher price for the kit.
  22. Am I the only one who thinks that Carpenter's movies did not age well? I don't mind remakes like Siri's Nid de guêpes which takes the concept from Assault on Precinct 13
  23. With the fix of her arm, Misa will look great, though the fans might want more anime-styled hair . The female helmet looks amaziing!
  24. The new issue of Model Graphix is not only full of VF-25 goodness, it also has a new VF-4 build. Grab it here
