  1. from Hobby Japan
  2. New lineart from the latest Hobby Japan issue
  3. Yeah I also meant the weathering effects. I want to see a really dirty bird.
  4. I'd love to see someone doing it in this fashion:
  5. You win +100 mecha/game/anime nerd points Kit looks like this, and it's pretty big.
  6. Anybody knows this lady?
  7. The original design for the Nazi flying wing by Ron Cobb had 4 or even 5 larger engines. The sketches are in the "Best of Lucasfilm Archives" artbook. edit: found one image
  8. This thread needs more Armored Core
  9. Wow, those pilot guys have some tight asses! But seriously, brilliant work, especially on the face.
  10. First pics from the Black Freighter sidestory are out: http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=24962
  11. It looks amazingly beautiful, but the thought of transforming it even once really hurts my modeler's heat. Did you prime the metallic parts with gloss black or do you apply the Alclad directly on the plastic? The subltle shades work great. Regarding the canopy: I really think the locator pins to snap the parts onto the fuselage must be removed. They make the kit look like a toy.
  12. For compensation, you can get the Takara Cool Girl Asuka
  13. Argh, the SMS action base sold out, too, on HLJ.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. It would be nice if some could scan the glorious boxart.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. You are right. I hate you.
  20. New pics of the Wave kits from Model Grafix
  21. 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...
  22. 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.
