  1. Zippy the pinhead! That reminds me: I need to get some work done on my SDF-1 bridge. I got the bubble carved out, but need to get a tiny bridge setup built inside. That needs to wait for the time being though until other parts are fixed.
  2. Wow! These are really neat! I like the Claudia one myself!
  3. So on these, we have Fighter, Battroid and girlwalk modes?
  4. Right? Scale-wise, you wouldn't see much detail at the viewing distance it would represent. That is pretty phenomenal! I'd love to see more squadron color builds myself!
  5. Thinking about getting myself a set for my scratchbuild, seeing as it's 1/72 and it would save me some grief.
  6. Easy: the one in back is simply a gigantic, elaborate hamsterwheel, complete with a hamster in a batsuit powering it.
  7. Not just yet; waiting on materials to construct the main pins for the 1st stage hinge.
  8. *cries* Seriously, really nice work!!!
  9. UPDATE: Not much to report: still waiting on parts and materials (grrr...), but such is life. I did some refinement work to the booms as far as shaping them overall: Lacking materials to fine-detail them at the moment (plastic welder specifically), as well as mounting hardware. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On that note, I'd like to do a PSA for the folks here: Be careful where you purchase your adhesives!!! In particular, epoxies and 2-part adhesives can be fairly perishable, and have a limited shelf-life (6-7 months in some cases). Some stores will simply leave older product on their pegs/ shelves, not realizing that over time, these dry out and congeal into uselessness. Recently, I ordered two packs of plastic welder via an automotive store; I usually get mine at Advance Auto, but the place I bought these at had given me a 5 dollar off coupon for my birthday. (Yes: the pengbuzz is getting old, folks!! How am I holding up?: with a cane.) So after ordering these items, I discovered they were dried up and now have to return them. Their online FAQ states: "items must be unopened for return". Yeah, tell me how that works if it's an adhesive that I can't use! And I really don't want "replacements", as their remaining stock is most likely just as bad! Anyways, when I get my money back, I'm just going to get one tube at my normal source, and never trust the other place again. So when purchasing adhesives, check the dates on them if you can! If not (or they won't let you), DON'T BUY IT!!! On to the rest of my post.... _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So the booms look okay, they just have a bit of trouble meeting up in the middle: I may have to go back and revise them a bit: And of course, the SDF-1 doing its' rendition of Aerosmith's Walk This Way: Stay tuned, folks...
  10. So apparently, he felt that there was very little for his character to do, with not much development then?
  11. I'd love to see them do a 1/48 Battroid kit, so we could have all three modes.
  12. *Includes 1 quart of gasoline, lighter, welding mask and gloves, tongs and 12 pack of hot dogs and buns*
  13. The one time they portrayed him with anything like that was Frank Langella in the 80's movie. Heck, they should consider him for the next voice-acting role for Skeletor!
  14. I'll give you that: at least Discovery is making an effort (Strange New Worlds I still have yet to watch to give an opinion of); Picard just feels like they're doing it to humor someone who has a very distorted view of Jean-Luc Picard and is trying to rewrite him as an 24th/ 25th century "Space SJW". Hmm... that would explain a lot. BTW: never knew that about Robert Beltran! I guess he ended up not liking being a character on Voyager... I honestly thought LA was far more expensive than that (seeing as gas prices now are 5 bucks a gallon out there now)! Anyways, I agree that if they actually had something of explicit value to offer instead of the-present-masquerading-as-the-future, it might be worth it. And on that note: that's one of my biggest issues with Picard: it's a cheap-looking, flimsy effort that reeks of "we'll just get something that kinda looks the part". Discount locations, discount cast (except for the OG TNG guests), discount props, discount locations, Discount Spock. At the rate they're going, they may as well just change the name of the show to Star Trek: Dollar Tree!
  15. I wonder how that kit would compare to my scratch-built Regult; probably put it to shame!!
