    I guess we can call that Devolution.

    More of the heavy dude & steak knife guy and there seems to be another WF kit out there:

    I am confused. If you look at the scan from Hobby Japan, there are IMO two different kits shown. In the lower left, there's the transformable mess in all it's dislocated & misproportioned glory (it's not the toy), while the rest of the page shows a very elegant fighter and Battroid with no visible hinges or seperation lines, and LOD is insane (look at the closeup of the foot). What is going on here? Is there still hope for us old school aircraft modelers? -i-

    The design of Linebarrel was a nice surprise for me, carrying features of the ZOE machines and a bit of Rahxephon. I ordered this WF 2008 kit from Hobbyfan http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?products_id=6234 the details are better than the Koto kit IMO. Looks like we'll also get the Bad Guy with the steak knife assortment later; and I really hope to see the orange heavy type in the future

    Can yomeone please post a HD pic of this shot? I decided I need a new wallpaper.

    Scans are not the best quality, but some nice stuff in there: http://photo.163.com/photos/side6/62236509/#p1

    Model Graphix gives the Hellhound kit some much needed love: http://photo.163.com/photos/kunluinlmodel/...901/4666427507/ and shows us how to take things on step further: http://photo.163.com/photos/kunluinlmodel/...901/4666428140/ edit: found this pic of the Hannibal, can someone translate the fineprint and confirm if this a Koto IP kit?

    Pics of Tereus, the 1/20 figures, and the Landmate http://photo.163.com/photos/kunluinlmodel/...871/4730598656/ http://photo.163.com/photos/kunluinlmodel/...871/4730598545/ http://photo.163.com/photos/kunluinlmodel/...871/4730598413/ http://photo.163.com/photos/kunluinlmodel/...871/4730598292/ (c&p)

    I got the info from a blog, so it's not exactly bulletproof, but the kit would make sense considering Kotobukiya's latest releases.

    This came a bit underneath my radar - Kotobukiya's 1/72 Hannibal at Shizuoka Now a HAL-X can't be far...

    Pics of the Platz fighters at Shizuoka: http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/010039/ http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/010038/ http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/010037/ Did they replace the vac-formed canopys with their much-hated solid cast cockpits?

    Any ideas what the captions in the second scan say? Is there a remote chance for a non-transformable EX model?

    Fine Molds revealed a prototype for a 1/48 Sanka Mk. B http://www.hlj.com/hlj_gallery2/v/shizuoka...G_0027.JPG.html

    Btw there's already a ton of goodies in this thread: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=23253

    Hmm, "War of the Worlds"?

    Flash Gordon raises from the grave? http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=45314 And while we're at it, Barbarella & Buck Rogers are on his heels.

    Joss Whedon - wasn't that one of the guys that killed the Alien franchise for good?
  19. electric indigo
    Well, not entirely, actually. The "Art of..." books show indeed only the conceptual models, while the filming models can be found in the Cinefex issues or the "Making of..." books. Looking at the books again makes me cry a bit, because they show how great the prequels could have been...

    http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/009935/ GA Graphic has very clear pics and closeups of the prototypes. You can see the surface engravings on Ozuma's machine, I guess the back parts are pretty much final: http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/009935/images/11.jpg The exposed shoulder hinges could use some additional detail. I love the head sculpt. The closeup of the Gerwalk nose shows a recess for the SMS logo? http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/009935/images/18.jpg

    While there was a large number of conceptual models that were photographed for textures and lighting reference, there was also a large number of physical sets that were build & filmed in miniature. Of course the shots of these models were enhanced with additional CG elements and matte paintings, but this is still different from an all CG surrounding. Examples: The pod racer hangar, architecture on Naboo & Coruscant (interior & exterior), Tipoca city, Mos Espa. The list is endless.

    Check out the "Art of..." books of SW EP 1-3, you'll be amazed just how many physical models were used in the FX shots. The modelers did a perfect job in making it impossible to distinguish the physical models from the CG sets. At the same time, I was totally surprised to learn that no single clone trooper costume was build for EP II. The animation/motion capturing was perfect.

    No, those are the latest Hasegawa re-paints.

    It looks like Bandai will cover Sky Crawlers in their EX models line http://www.geocities.jp/hobby_show_album/j...ka2008/0225.htm So we have actually competition between Kotobukiya, Fine Molds and Bandai. This will be interesting. And I love the Shinden and Focke-Wulf redesigns.
