  1. As I stated before, I found the design of the movie totally cool. Check out Maciej Kuciara's work, for example: http://www.kuciara.com/#/gits/
  2. I just finished my replica of Batou's Lotus from the movie and got some beauty shots today
  3. One of my favorite comics! But I'm not sure the blockbuster style will sell the story well, I'd prefer a more indie approach.
  4. Since these pics are CG, I doubt there'll be a change of colors.
  5. Well, here's some incentive for you
  6. Please no. Comic-book humor is the last thing Star Wars needs right now. The Kenobi movie cries for a classic Western setup, similar to what Chris describes.
  7. Hmm, another incident of retro-future that wants to stick with the 80's vision of the days to come, where cell phones and social media never happen (but we may get the flying cars)? BR 2049 and the LA GitS had a similar concept.
  8. I modded it from the recent Fujimi kit. A detailed report is over at GE http://gundameclipse.net/topic/8081495/1/ _ Go to this post on Dorbou's blog for the rest of the Doro-off galleries and prepare to have your head blown off: http://dorobou.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2017-10-31
  9. No sh!t. It's in this gallery: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOdGXJJNd6c-GhBXTmzalY9PiCczNTdtsK3oWK2YVb5SOYEBwHnCfhVOVU14SCiZQ?key=cjJCOUxXQjZqbG8zalVpZXhaZ3VQem1ycUJGOUt3 - I got close to finishing my GITS Lotus:
  10. A couple more shots here: http://www.taghobby.com/archives/253257
  11. Somewhere on Dorobou's blog was a link to a Grievous with lighted and motorized rotating lightsabers from a japanese modeler Can't find the pics right now.
  12. Not a fan of the ship, but your paneling rocks!
  13. Point is, I was too entertained by TFA to bother about these issues. And if a character's story arc is pointless and happens to be un-entertaining, you can get the feeling that it was only added as an afterthought to the story to tick those ethnic checkboxes, as you so well put it, and that these checkboxes have a higher priority at the studio than a good story.
  14. The diversity starts to feel forced if the maker have little else to do for the characters than to represent a target group. The whole casino planet side quest did a huge favor to this perception. All these issues would be moot if the movie had delivered on the entertainment level. IMO neither the diversity nor the deconstruction of the lore were the main obstacles here, they're just additional fuel to the frustration about the dramatic structure.
  15. You could argue that an equal level of incompetence was shown on the "non-diverse" characters as well... What bothers me more is how the diverse characters are still molded from racial stereotypes.
  16. Nothing says Cyberpunk like a russian aircraft interior green in your cop car.
  17. Awesome! Thanks for the ride.
  18. Nice looking collection, hope we see Nadia next. _ I finally got to the primer stage on my Lotus
  19. Thom, do you have more pics of the Ki-46?
