So basically, they've now done the same thing to poor Dr. Crusher that they did to Picard and the rest of the gang: turned them into repugnant doppelgangers who are shattered shadows of their former selves. If the TNG crew ever saw what became of them in the Picard era, I'm sure they'd consider collectively agreeing to detonate the ship!

Yeah; they may as well have gone with the "Super-Duper-I-Win-You-Lose-HaHaHaHaHa-Gun" for that episode.

I'd go with a metal one, and an interface between the bar and the booms so the resin doesn't deform from the weight of the booms on bare metal (such as a hard rubber bishing or something).

"Money pit"? I think the term Financial Quantum Singularity would better apply here; at least a pit has a bottom you can actually see!! On that note: I recently saw ST:D figures of Burnham and Saru just sitting on the pegs in the clearance section of my local Walmart, and they had just come out not too long ago! Kirk and Spock keep disappearing out of the main aisle though... need to go search for them. I prefer Worf's version: "You may test that assumption at your convenience". But seriously: agree in whole with you on this. They've been hemorrhaging money, and with things the way they are, they're finally having to "amputate the limbs that are no longer viable". Kurtzman's an expensive liability to begin with, and this is now painfully apparent in their bottom line. On another note: as Azrael said, the Witcher and Mandalorian may not be long for this world. I also posit The Book of Boba Fett is going to be more of a short story rather than a book. Having said that... I posit the following:

Alex Kurtzman has been such an abject disaster to anything Star Trek that if they had just made him a villain in any of the series, that would have been a credible threat that the Federation would need to mobilize against. But in all seriousness: Kurtzman has no idea what makes Trek work, how to run a show, or even what good sci-fi really is. I'm not sure if he's a fanboy hack who was too eager to plaster his version of Star Trek all over the place or a bitter Hollywood burnout who hates the franchise and is deliberately trying to sink it. As it stands, just about everything this guy has been involved in just plain stank ( Seriously..."Cowboys and Aliens"?), and when it comes to Trek, he has the Reverse Midas Touch.™ Same here. That said, it's like any other venture: sooner or later, the red ink will strangle you if you don't get into the black quickly enough to make it worthwhile. And with the financial uncertainty that's going on at this point, things like this debacle are a luxury that I suspect few investors are going to want to take a chance on it (Netflix, anyone?). Overall, I think people are getting tired of the Grimdark© version of sci-fi, given that the entire planet's coming just now out of 2+ years of real-life darkness and gloom. Especially when those stories are supposed to be about mankind rising to meet the challenge and seeking a better tomorrow. Someone may be broken, but moping about it while staring at the pieces of their lives on the floor isn't an inspiring message. Yes, I'm looking at you, Picard.

Meanwhile, at HG's Main Office in LA: Hint to anyone who can't figure it out: look on the bottom of the Macross' feet....

Starting to feel sorry for Shaw there...

Just need to do a "Cask of Amontillado" on the RT side of that cave....

Frankly, they really need to call this the Neo-Constipation class; it's totally full of crap.

Solution: get Taco Bell for lunch/ dinner right before you print parts. Trust me: she won't complain about the printer smell anymore... ---------------------------- Help a Peng out for his birthday!: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=Q6683CJCZHFVS

I noted that smoothness also on Imai's Macross VF-1J and on the Super VF-1 1/72 series as well. I don't know if the Battroid VF-1J is smooth, but maybe someone else here would know on that.

Must be pretty popular in the laundries of UN Spacy, right next to the dryers....

Another way is that he could open the caterpillar doors and in the process get them out that way.

make sure it's not model cement, though; otherwise it could eat through the hull! O.O

One thing you can try is threading a piece of masking tape into the slot and rattle the ship around a bit. You might get the part(s) to stick to it and then draw the tape carefully back out. It may take a couple of tries, but I've used it before to rescue tapped parts lose inside a model.

Now I'm even more depressed.

Because the showrunners for Picard are such experts at pulling stuff out of their collective a$$es that they should be conferred honorary proctology degrees.

I wonder if they would have the slider parts for my 1/72 Imai vf-1j?

No problem! Hope they help you with the build!

It was probably not a decision they pondered for a considerable amount of time; most likely, they did this as they were pulling out of the system and weren't too concerned with fine tuning the whole thing. Desperation can make one rush stuff in an emergency...

At that scale, you could always just draw them in with a mechanical pencil.
