    I meant from the more recent series; Grant Gustin I believe?
  2. pengbuzz
    They should have used the actor from the TV series.

    I'd be very interested in this batmobile, presuming it's for 4 inch figures.

    @MechTech How long does that LA's Totally Awesoem cleaner take to work? And does it remove acrylic and rattlecan Rustoleum primer? I have a model I've tried denatured alcohol on, 91 isopropyl and easy off to strip and they're not having a lot of success! Er, MT.... when we said "go make yourself some soup for lunch"..... this isn't quite what we MEANT!!!!

    Some nice scale mottling there, derex!

    Yeah, but Ratchet was a medic (repair), Hook was a crane and Thrust was a jet. THeir names didn't contain anything that didn't fit them (unlike BLUE red and black jet! )

    *A large red truck rolls up to some humans and transforms into a robot* Truck: "Greetings humans! We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron!" Human: :Who are you?!" Truck: "My name is...... Frank." *everyone stands there for a few minutes in awkward silence* Frank: "Hmmm.... that name might need some work. I'll be back..." *Frank transforms and drives off*

    Okay...I gotta ask (and I know this will probably sound like one of the dumbest questions ever that will make folks' eyes roll) Why do they call him Blue Jet if he's red and black? *runs for dear life from the howling mob hot on his heels*

    Well, while I'm seeing a glimmer or two here and there of stuff that isn't as bad as it was S1 and 2, I don't exactly have my hopes up here. I did say: That said: that "something" I wouldn't call "Trek is Back". It's kind of like someone who's been on a 1-week bender: at one point,t hey may get up and keep their balance for a bit. That doesn't mean they're sober. Still think Shaw deserved better than an idiotic death.

    Now...why didn't they all decide here to go find the Borg and kick their cabooses?
  11. pengbuzz
    On the bright side: they do have Shaw.
  12. pengbuzz
    Not to defend this series, but I think if they simply pretend S1 and 2 never existed, they could do something with it.

    Okay... I'm not a big fan of how they did this either, but that said: if you feel Kasdan has no talent, then let's see him sink or swim on this. Let him have his season 2 and see what happens; just like Picard and Discovery under Kurtzman, anything rotten can simply be ignored in favor of the main canon that was already established. Let's see if he can learn from what worked in the last 2 episodes of S1 and capitalize on it, or not. If not, no skin off our backs as far as I'm concerned.

    That's why I rattle can all my white paint subjects; unless it's a detail part, white paint doesn't go on smoothly by brush.
  15. pengbuzz
    I think bzwacks' version has better detailing!
  16. pengbuzz
    Sorry, but...
  17. pengbuzz
    While I wasn't hot on this, I'd like to see what they'd do with a season 2! Game on!

    The one next to the 60 degrees looks about right; I would use the one diagonally lower opposite from it for a contrast color (like aztecing).
  19. pengbuzz
    I noted that too; Well...there's always the Ferengi.
  20. pengbuzz
    Agreed; start strong, finish strong, then if the ratings support it, do a season 2.

    Next franchise for them to vandalize adapt: Voyagers!

    Well... after 7 months of solid "what's going to go wrong this time?", some help finally came our way. One friend of mine in particular sent me a birthday gift (honestly, I felt this year was just shot but they had other ideas in mind); the other came alongside us and helped us out enough to keep us going until we can get things stabilized again. I know that's the exception and not the rule int his world, but my family is grateful for the help! We literally didn't know how we were going to keep going! With that in mind, the friend who sent me a birthday gift sent me two models: one is the 1990's Bandai repressing of the Imai VF-1S. The other is Bandai's 2013 1/72 VF-1 Super Armor set: Apparently, the armor will fit the older kit, provided some mods are made. But I have something I plan on going one further with... I don't know about everyone else here, but this peng is tired of sitting in the corner feeling like the world just wants to drop another shoe on him. GAME ON. Stay tuned folks... I'm going to use one model to make three....

    I still don't recall other ships needing that many impulse engines, but you make a valid point about 23rd century designs ( I recall reading about the change in Impulse; I should have remembered that!). But I think you agree that for a supposedly 25th century vessel, it looks like they went backwards. If the Impulse works the way TNG does, why so many then? Same issue the JJprise suffers from; either the crew are giants or the windows take up more than one deck.

    They should have left poor Grimlock grey to begin with. Grimlock no like funky colors.

    There's that at least. One of my big issues with the Titan-A is the ridiculous number of Impulse engines. I mean, even the E-D only had 3 engines (two for the saucer, one for the battle section). Titan has something like six engines (yeah, I know they're probably grouped or something), which doesn't make much sense to me. Exactly why would a ship need that strong of an impulse drive to begin with? Most exploratory vessels we have seen in cannon did not require that amount of impulse engines, given that full impulse is 1/4 light speed, providing more engines would only seem to be trying to get it near warp speed (which to me would seem impractical; you may as well just go to warp at that rate). The other issue is scale here: the thickness of the primary hull and its' windows says refit, but the designer for S2 and 3 of Picard Dave Blass stated that the length of the ship is 1839 feet (https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/uss-titan-explained-star-trek-picard-season-3). With the Refit E coming in at 990 feet, Titan-A is twice the length and considerably larger... ... but the saucer and windows are the same size as a Refit's? I might be off on all of this (wouldn't be the first time and heaven knows it wouldn't be the last! ), but something doesn't add up here. JMO.
