    Nicely staged and lit! I was really hoping Aoshima would've given Blue Thunder the same treatment, but they opted for a model kit instead.

    The dipping nose would have to be feature and strong landing gear too. I would love for it to be the BOAC livery with the blue nose and fuselage stripe, but my gut says it's going to be a British Airways ship.

    Well, my kids thought your mech is cool and "cute", and I trust their judgement-well done!

    Rumor has it that LEGO will be releasing a kit based on the Concorde as part of their Icons series this September. This would be timely for me as I was just considering doing a MoC of it.

    The cat's outta the bag: XH-1 Dragonfly

    Sweet- Trouble Bubbles!

    Who needs swords when you can build your own Metal Gear?

    My guess is another Mazinger.

    Binged on Sanctuary. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did. It has vibes of the first Best of the Best movie, but with sumo wrestling instead of Tae Kwon Do.

    RIP to the queen of rock.

    That's a grat build - Benny would be proud!

    That reminds me; wasn't the Metal Structure Nu going to be reissued around this time?

    One the few new songs I found this year that I really dig:

    I heard a rumor that it'll be the Snowcat. Though I wish it'll be a MOBAT.

    Took myself on date to see this yesterday. It was good time at the movies for me, it didn't even seem like a 2.5 hour film. The group battle scene during the climax was tops. I'd definitely see it again with the wife.

    Oooh, the game-breaking Hoshun finally makes an appearance.

    Thank you, gents! But I was merely following instructions from another AFOL. There are plenty of "forbidden" building techniques in that X-Wing, but it holds up quite well. There were a couple of instances where I heavily considered gluing parts together for reinforcement, but in the end, it all worked out.

    I thought the sais were cute touch too. I thought so too when I first heard about it, and apparently the designer did make sure the proportions were close to those found in the movie models. I just may have to give his Y-Wing a whirl later on.

    After my family's trip to Legoland, one of my boys took home the TIE Bomber kit as a souvenir, so I decided to build my own ship so I could have dogfights with him: It's just a coincidence that Lego released their latest X-Wing at the same time. I used instructions by Jerac, who has other Star Wars blueprints. I love the proportions on this thing, and it's quite swooshable. The mechanism used to expand the wings is ingenious, but it needs a little help once all the engines are attached. I still need a few more parts to finish it as the landing gear is incomplete, but it is essentially done.

    Another nostalgia bomb: I wonder if it's going to tie in with Fade to Black or just ignore it completely.

    Coming later this year: I do miss the Super Scaler look though.

    I loved Ring of Red's alternate history setting and the mecha designs were cool, but yes, battle sessions were as slow as molasses. It didn't help that all the mechs moved as if they were stuck on 1st gear. I also remember taking shots with "99.9" percent chance of hitting the target, only for the shot to COMPLETELY miss. That happened way too often.

    Well, sh!t - Borderscape was canned. I'm guessing licensing costs is the cause for the breakdown since it seems the game was just reskinned and plot points were changed. I'll still give Mecharashi a try though.
