    2:1 thinner:paint, light, low-pressure pass. Here's the upper side: I just learned that the red labels mark the spots where you're supposed to punch through the hull with a fire hose in case of an engine fire...

    Thanks, guys, alway a pleasure to entertain you. Slide, I have seen photos of faded roundels on the underside of the plane, I guess they pick up a lot of dirt from the runway. But I mainly dusted them to tie them into the overall color scheme, I like to approach my builds with a baked-in atmospheric haze in mind. When I was younger, I noticed that my aircraft kits always looked more realistic in color after a thin layer of dust had settled on them, so now I try to get that look from the beginning. The Hasegawa kit is absolutely awesome, btw.

    Belly of the dragon Decals are flat coated and misted over with light grey to bring down the saturation.

    Saw it this weekend, and it's really special, though not a movie for everyone. I'd call it the antithesis to "The right stuff" or "Apollo 13", in that it refuses the viewer the superficial glory, but it puts a very human (and controversial) scale to man's journey into space. It's very convincing in portraying the physical and psychological strain at play, with masterful cinematography and another killer performance from Gosling and Foy. The narration is less anecdotical, but more impressionist in style, and it paints a strong, butdifferent picture from what we're used to that way. The movie probably leaves you glad you didn't choose "Astronaut" as a career, but it doesn't diminish the achievement of the people who did.

    Good concept (reminds me of Chris Bachlo's Steampunk comics), but I'm getting real tired of another "Chosen One" story.

    That scheme must have been quite a headache to pull off, but it was worth it.

    The space shots are there from the beginning of the movie, the rest is dialogue/overdubbing. Imagine the bonfires if the spy turns out to be Holdo...

    Keeping Finn in stasis would be a good start and spare us his side plot. Instead of the slo-mo car chase, have the resistance jump and then a countdown running until the FO shows up again due to a spy within the resistance fleet (BSG has shown ho to do this properly). Poe is on the spy, while his squadron gets decimated against the wave of TIEs the FO sends out every time before the next jump.

    I can't wait to walk into the office and announce that I'm having a "bad g-day" today

    I read some scathing reviews prior to seeing the movie, and I have to say, did they even watch "Bohemian Rhapsody" or were they working off a list of things they wanted to hate? The movie was Awesome!!! and it was the movie Freddie and the band, and the fans, deserved. It wasn't a documentary, it was fictionalization in the spirit of Queen, and Malek was totally rocking it on stage and on screen. Say what you will about Singer, the direction and cinematography were flawless. Great experience, and it must be seen on the big screen.

    Volks has produced a pretty elaborate toy of the Kaiserin (Empress) from Nagano's recent FSS iteration Gothicmade. http://www.taghobby.com/archives/235941 So the standard Mortar Headd should be no problem.

    There's a pretty awesome WIP on Britmodeler, showing how impressive the kit is. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235043339-b-wing-bandai-172/&

    Awesome finish right down to the figures. And great photography!

    ...and after 15 years of development and a gazillion dollars, the Tomcat II will look like a featureless flying saucer.
