  1. Not to mention it kinda helps if your stealth fighter isn't say white against a night backdrop. Still kinda dark, but tends to show up better, right?
  2. Would it help if you elevated the backdrop slightly?
  3. Well, I would say a 1/72 kit isn't the best vehicle for that; that said, what about a kit that had more room and thicker plastic for it? I mean, they did it for the 1/60 and 1/48, after all...
  4. I'd like to see someone do a transformable VF-1 kit that doesn't fall apart like Bandai's from a few years ago.
  5. As I recall, stealth also includes shapes that allow the craft to deflect radar back at an angle that doesn't allow the correct radar return to happen. An example is the F-17 Nighthawk, that had a faceted design with a tail section that took advantage of how radar works. The F-22 Raptor also has stealth tech and much of the craft's internal design is still classified. I had to fudge quite a bit on my stealth valk design, as design considerations and design choices caused me to put some stuff that was not so stealthy, so I don't know it it truly qualifies. But at least I made some effort to try to get much of it to where it wasn't reflecting radar like a mirror ball! That said though: paint job and coatings alone do not a stealth mech make.
  6. Yeah... it would have been better if they just resurrected Hugh as the Borg King or something.
  7. I spent the past 48 hours or so trying to assimilate (pardon the pun) all this info as I learned it via my own resources. Frankly, the best thing they can do with this series right now is to flash to Picard lying in bed dead, with the OG cast gathered around him. Dr. Crusher: "He's delirious...the Iromodic Syndrome is in it's final stages. I don't think he has much longer left." Riker: "He kept mentioning something about 'pizza in the woods', whatever that means". Worf: "Yes, and about a 'Borg queen' and "Q dying". He must be delirous." *everyone turns to look at Q* Q: "Well, don't blame ME; I certainly didn't give him Irumdic Syndrome".
  8. Who did you purchase it through? I would try them, (if possible, unless you bought it private or through a place that doesn't do squat) because Arcadia says at the bottom of their page that they don't service international customers:
  9. Let's do the time warp agaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn....
  10. Ah...gotcha. I wonder why they didn't do Godmars/ Mighty Orbots then?
  11. Maybe, but exactly how hard is it to at least make Black Lion black? As for the VF-1: doesn't even look like it! If they're worried about copyright issues, all of that stuff there is copyrighted and trademarked. Anyways...it is a good video overall. Just never knew there was a mech that was larger than the universe (but approaching the size of Isamu's ego!)!
  12. That would be one advantage to not being a 40 foot giant: you tend to eat a lot less food, need less material for clothing and other effects, and you can get more folks your size into a ship that those of the 40 foot variety. I imagine during the early years after SW1, giant Zentraedi on Earth would have faced quite a bit of starvation, seeing as the biosphere was damaged and life was all but wiped out. On that note: what did they feed the Zentraedi soldiers in the fleets? I don't recall seeing them having dinner, but I don't remember too well from SDFM.
  13. Voltron's the wrong color, and the VF-1 they have in the line up is all sorts of messed up.
  14. Hey, for my money it looks pretty good just the way you're doing it now! I wouldn't have the patience to do all that, tbh. I hate tiny little windows (and tiny little Macs and tiny little Linuxes as well! ) Awww, thanks! It was an honest pleasure to finally accurize poor Hikaru! Next, I'd like to get Roy Fokker, but he's a bit scarce at the moment. I would go for painted, heavily weathered and chipped to where patches of metal are showing!
  15. Thanks Big S; it's also very easy to make as well! Just cut a circle out of thick styrene plate, print and paste whatever image you want for the stand, drill holes and glue in the appropriate size pegs, trim them and voila! It also keeps the figure from falling over like he had one too many with Roy at the bar! lol Thanks!! A combo of 3 different projects, representing one series!
  16. So far so good! Really liking how that deck looks, and it looks like you're about to light this ship up like a Christmas tree!
  17. Well, at least you have people who look up to you.
