  1. Yeah; I surmised that as well. The ol' "let's wow'em with what we can pull off" thing. That sounds like a not-too bad opening to a Macross RPG campaign: a colony fleet comes across a planet whose moon has a perfectly circular orbit and ancient Protoculture ruins on the moon's surface. The commander decides to investigate this and sens the players in their valks to take a look...
  2. One that interested me was the Nightflyer from the 80's movie Nightflyers: Better pics of it here: https://propstore.com/product/nightflyers-1987/blue-alien-spaceship/ The ship was designed by production designer/illustrator Guy Hendrix Dyas, and built by David Sandefur (at least from the info I could gather): https://forthehellofitreviews.wordpress.com/2018/12/16/nightflyers-george-r-r-martins-novella-vs-syfy-channel-series/
  3. Eyes are wrong (too light, not "smoky" enough), head shape is off (too wide, too short from top to bottom), lips are too pale and too thin, nose is too wide at the nostrils and lacking the definition Gal Gadot's has, and her jawline is a bit off. Maybe this is her stunt double? Comparison:
  4. Neat! Kind of reminds me of these: https://www.propblur.com/store/c1/PropBlur.comMain
  5. From the looks of the trailer...
  6. What I would do: Then,
  7. And that makes it n entire operation that I cannot imagine anyone really desiring to undertake if the targets aren't stationary. Given the large amount of opportunity for error/ "a miss", it would make more sense to simply dispatch a fighter closer to the target where such time-delay and distance would not impede success. My mistake; I just realized you were talking about the Alpha-1 and Omega-1; for some reason, I thought you were speaking about the Ghost. Oops! Right; I think the Moon's orbit isn't perfectly circular.
  8. Thanks for the well wishes, folks. ❤️ Definitely a tough slog all ways around! About the only thing I've been working on is getting more grey hairs! O.o
  9. At this rate...pepto bismo
  10. Very carefully, I would have to imagine! And I would assume: not requiring the complexity of added moving parts from a fighter with a couple of alternate modes, as well as a squishy and delicate organic pilot in a cockpit that required consumables such as breathable oxygen, in addition to radiation shielding and control interfaces/ displays. Yeah, that's what I thought (and good catch: it was 1.28! I hadn't caught that.).
  11. For Gil; the vocal version of the Buck Rogers End Title Theme ("Suspension"):
  12. Okay, here's goofy for ya: And an extra bonus:
  13. You've already been too kind, my friend. Appreciate your support no matter what form it takes.
  14. UPDATE: Checking in- had to rush my wife to the hospital last Thursday via 911/ ambulance; she has AFib (Atrial Fibrillation) and COVID; the latter is especially dangerous, as Chemo patients are very susceptible to infections due to the number they do on the immune system. Currently, she's in ICU while they try to knock down the COVID and address the AFib; to that end, I needed to isolate from her to protect her from anything else (have seen her a couple of times in full gown, gloves and gear). It's delayed her next Chemo treatment, as they cannot give it to her while she has an active infection. So basically, just sitting at home with nothing to do aside from call her when she's up to talking on the phone. Not expecting her out before Christmas... and the house feels utterly empty. Nothing for models; no materials or kits available to me (no good hobby places nearby within walking distance). Priorities are food, medicine and transportation (buses to/ from medical center). Thinking about masking taping the cat, but painting the critter would be hard as they probably won't like the tape. (I find this puzzling). Stay tuned...
  15. RIP Captain Rogers; may you finally find your way home. (salute)
  16. You'd think by now, someone'd thought:
  17. Nice boot.
  18. Main Cannon deployable and available in all modes.
  19. I loved this anime! One of my favorite fights is when Chun-Li literally kicked Vega through a friggin' wall!
  20. Wait... isn't a light second basically:
  21. No problem; I'll look for the other shoulder piece in the meantime. If you do need the parts, I'll just ask for shipping; so many folks here have helped me in the past and I'm trying to "pay it forward" where and when I can.
  22. Cody Rhodes looks MUCH more like Guile than Van Damme ever did! The others look a little slim compared to their videogame counterparts, but I take the game versions as stylized and not realistic. All the same: I'll give this a chance.
  23. I have the remains of a junker Jetfire 1/55; I have most of the metal parts except for the left shoulder hinge (dunno where it is, I can look if you'd like). Here's a pic: Let me know if you would like these and I'll set them aside for you. I can pull the metal parts out of the plastic for you (plastic is sun-damaged) so you don't have to worry about messing with that.
