Mazinger

That was the sound and feeling of quality.  You would break before the toy would. The perfect toy.

Work of beauty there.

It belongs in a museum.

When I grow up I want to have you're level of modelling skills.

I wouldn't feel nearly as sullied if that packaging left of the HG logo. 

MEPToys, you listening?

While I don't any of my money going to HG, I probably can't pass up this guy.

I guess “Firefox” will never be a thing...

That'll be the last gen before everyone goes all ghost.

Must think in Russian...

Also added the Energer Z which has been sitting in my wish list so it could be attached to an order.

Wow, had never heard for Energer Z - and I call myself a Mazinger fan!  I'm a fraud!

I made a serious mistake I need the money to finish our basement, not buy more of these guys. Talk me out of it before I convince myself to get "just one more". You know, maybe a VE-1. And maybe that Messer color edition 1S because it is different.

Why not both?

Take your time.  Finish the basement first, then pick up some HMR off of here or the bay when someone lets it go.

There's no hurry in acquiring Valks, I say, and you probably already have a few VF-1's right?  Swoosh them around a bit while watching your basement getting tricked out.

They really do have a hard act to follow, and I do hope they succeed. My oldest, a preteen, couldn’t care less about super heroes, but loves ItSV.

That being said, I didn't hate the 1st AVP...*ducks for incoming tarring and feathering* I thought it was a fun movie. The 2nd one was terrible.

Off-Topic: To this day I still don't know why Fox didn't just make a Machiko Noguchi PvsA movie. I read the first book way back when and enjoyed it.  I'm tempted to say budget considerations, but then the first PvsA movie was all sets that also had to be built, none of them all that small either.

They copied a few elements, mostly the ending of the book, but it was so bogged down with the whole Toltecs-on-Ice storyline that destroyed my suspension of disbelief. And then they made #2 even worse, so mundane, that I regret the crossover in the first place.

Really wanting a Hi Metal R VF-17 now!!! 

Agreed.

IMO, there should be no sequels at all. While Terminator 2 was a good movie, it was a bad sequel.

And if we need more controversial statements... The Terminator was a perfect film and no possible followup could do anything but lessen it.

Wow, I’ve said as much to friends always feeling I had to be in minuscule group. I was so convinced of that that I’m shocked to even see someone else bring this view up.

My favorite example is Planet of the Apes from 1968, that depicted interstellar flight... in 1972!  

Mankind hadn't even gotten to the moon, but they believed they'd be on their way to Orion's Belt within four years...?  

Shows you that we humans are nothing if not confident.

Huh, I thought Lady and the Tramp was gonna be a theatrical release.

Printing starts today on this badboy! Will scale this up to 5k, I was able to strip all the detail parts off in order to print them separately.

That puppy is gonna be big. Looks like asgard-knight 's model from his Deviant art page.  How much did he charge for the STL, if you don't mind my asking?

I/m not sure how you type out a whistling sound - because that is the sound I made when I saw the finished kit. Great work Ted!

Guess I suck at that too.

I just bought an inexpensive 40 Volume hair bleaching creme/gel.

(Compré un gel para aclarar el pelo de 40 volúmenes, de los más baratos)

Bien hecho, muy buen resultado.  Ojala dure el tratamiento.

Well done, a very good result. I hope the treatment lasts.

Wow, nice shuttle take off!

Reminds me of another Western styled sci-fi series...

Battle Beyond the Stars?

Just finished episode 2 and it is definitely bringing back vibes from when I read the trade paperback almost 20 years ago.

Enjoying quite a bit. 

Will I enjoy it more than Umbrella Academy or The Boys, hard to tell.

A thought occurs to me: if we never had the original Watchmen, I doubt we'd have had either of those fine series, or perhaps even a great film The Incredibles.

Very nice.

Cool.

Are you making this as well?  Sign me up.

I'm still curious to see what the flier and gerwalk modes would look like on that... but not at the expense of getting an HMR Gnerl, Q-Rau, Nousjadeul Ger, or Zentran grunts.

I like the pictures...  BUT.... I dread the idea of sunlight kissing those valkyries with their yellowing touch.

Well if you have to take the Valks out for a walk I could think of a lot uglier settings.  @xoxokin where is this idyllic place?

I need this in my life...is that the Mafex John Wick and could I ask which Votoms that is?

Seems extremely unwise to hand over a scopedog to John Wick.

Joining in on the fun!

Nice filtering on the mechs there.

Can you describe your process - software, settings - that you used to get them to blend so well into the scene?

Ooh, that Viper MKIII sure is smexy.

Given the function of flight is based around WWII dog fighting EVERYTHING has friction and aerodynamics and atmosphere in Star Wars.

Remember fluidic space from ST:Voyager?  Maybe this far away galaxy is really just under water somewhere out there.
