Slightly OT again but HLJ just charged me for my Fei-Yen, so it must be out/available.

Battlestar Galactica Discussion III
David Hingtgen replied to kaiotheforsaken's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
In all honesty Gubaba---would you have expected something different from the show? That they'd find Earth and it was paradise, and they'd all go and live in peace and happiness in a new golden age of humanity? But don't worry TOO much---while it is a huge spoiler, frankly----you should have seen it coming and expected it well before it actually happens---there's more than enough foreshadowing in the episodes leading up to it. And there's still a lot more things to see and experience in the series. I'd say more, but I shouldn't. Or in short "when you get to 1 to 2 eps before you actually find out, you really should have expected it by then, so while it may be a huge spoiler now, it's less of a spoiler later in the season" -

Yeesh, someone should have PM'd me or another mod so I could go in and edit the post... -
First the 707, then the DC-9, and now the C-17. <<<<<<<<<<<<Back in 2005 two Flight colleagues -- Brendan Sobie and Andrew Doyle -- broke the story that China's Xian Aircraft Corp was developing a four-jet freighter sized between a C-130 and a C-17, and based upon some IL-76MD technology. Its max payload was expected to be around 50t and max TO weight >200t. The prototypes and the initial batch may be powered by Russian D-30KP-2/WS-18 turbofans, later by the modified WS-10. Well, four years later, the always fantastic China Military Aviation site has posted the first images of the Y-20. Does anything about this model strike you as, you know, familiar? It's perhaps worth noting that a California jury in July convicted Dongfan Chung, a former Boeing employee, of selling secrets about the C-17, among other things, to ... guess who? <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Walking LEGO AT-TE: LEGO purists will cry out that the mechanics are not of LEGO parts, but the fact that he designed the parts/engineering from scratch and milled them with a LASER more than makes up for it. (7-speed automatic transmission is still probably the most impressive "all-LEGO" mechanism I've seen)

Character Art Appreciaton Thread II
David Hingtgen replied to d3v's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Slightly OT, but one of the more annoying facts about SDF:M to me is that a disproportionately large number of Milia scenes/episodes, are the poorly-animated ones. She looks bad most of the time you see her! -
Tester Model Master or other preferred paint for 1/48 plastic?
David Hingtgen replied to RCB's topic in The Workshop!
I don't like brush-painting Tamiya, but they have the best spray cans by far. -
Depends which kit, but basically for anything made in the last couple of years: If it's Hasegawa, it cannot transform at all, and requires glue and paint. If it's Bandai (this mainly means only the VF-25) it can transform, doesn't need glue, and is molded in multiple colors and will look fine with little to no painting.
-
Exactly. Their -22's don't match their VF-1's. And if you go by M3, their VF-4's seem to be the same "pale" colors as well.

Heck, my Wal-Marts are still charging $60 for MP SW.

Hey, same reason Dragon Age was delayed.

Official Bandai 1/60 Scale DX Toy Thread Ver.6
David Hingtgen replied to Duke Togo's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Luckily, I have extra time to save up, as I'm waiting for Grace's. -
Yeah, I was surprised they used what is basically a sci-fi injoke in a "serious" movie. The only thing worse would be if they explained that the military weaponry works by handwavium.

Advice wanted: What's the best way to mask the canopy?
David Hingtgen replied to Vifam7's topic in The Workshop!
Tamiya tape is the masking tape of the gods. It is far superior to all other tape. -
Both Figma and Revoltech suffer from "what's hot now-itis". I mean yeah, any company SHOULD capitalize on what's popular, but I swear sometimes they seem to be *intentionally* avoiding characters from ultra-popular stuff from the 80's, 90's, and even "way back in 2003" that'd translate quite well. I'd own a zillion if they made more than Yoko, Haruhi, Yoko, Saber, and more Yoko and Saber variants... (have you seen what's coming up in the next few months? That's pretty much it) You'd think with how nearly every single BGC fig made in the past 5 years sold out, and how the hardsuit design is, BGC revoltechs or figmas would be a no-brainer. (just one of many examples)
