    WOW!! Really nice work!

    Look at it this way: with a twin-engined bird, if you lose an engine, you've still got one left. A single engine? if that fails... well, hope ya can reach the eject pull!

    *imagines the original developers of the VF-1 going through this*

    Yeah, but the SOC has them at least out a little bit from the pelvis. Blitzway's look squished into the pelvis on either side, and the waist looks a bit long too.

    I noted that as well... this just seems like what Paramount would consider an "easy cash grab", trying to get what was a phenomenon in its' heyday. Just hope they don't reuse sets and props from Discovery and Picard.... There's that, and the trailer makes it seem like they're filming a high-financed cosplay for Halo. Agreed... OG Cortana was never valley.

    Nice work!! Really like the idea you have for ESD grounding! What I'm working on right now (got this as a gift): My progress so far: None of the missiles are installed yet; that will come later on. The kit is modular wit polycaps for the joints: No, I didn't ditch the 1J head! But the head lasers did snap off and I had to glue them back onto the "ear pods" (be careful on your build should you get yours; the plastic is still kinda soft). I used a spare polycap to mod an Imai 1s head and fit it on the ball-post neck. No mods to the original neck, so the 1J head (or even a 1A!) can go back on anytime! Also: the armor on the hips "locks" into place during the build (you assemble the crotch around the hip swivels in blue-grey plastic), but I found I can snap and unsnap the legs from the hip joints by rotating them towards the back along their axis and popping them off. Be careful if you do that though, as I don't trust the plastic the shaft of the hip joint is made of. I'd recommend painting them before popping them in. Most everything is modular, so you can take this down to components and largely prime and paint according to colors . One issue are the fine panel lines; they can "fill up" pretty early, so that could obscure them, especially if you prime with dark primer and then do white (I like my models to not be translucent!). The kit also includes both TV and Movie hands, and you'll end up with spares for a VF-1 nose and lower forearms and chestplate (sans color inset); guess they reused some previous molds and just left it at that. Could prove useful for a regular Battroid build! One more note: the missile doors are built "either/or"; you have plastic connector parts to display them open or closed (DON'T glue them in!!!). If you want hinged ones, you'll have to develop your own hinge for them.

    ROFL!!!

    Good point, though they have more aircraft (albeit as you mentioned: in atmosphere they are more efficient). (I wonder how that woud have translated with their trip in spaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....... )

    Well, Claudia Christian is still available as an actress, so they could do something with that!

    I was expressing that on the premise of reasons to be sad, which was included in your statement.

    That's not the Chief's voice, Cortana's supposed to be blue, and the whole "upgradeable and controllable" thing doesn't sit quite right with me. Also, since when did the Covenant have Humans in it?
  15. pengbuzz
    I also imagine that with the increased number of aircraft, there would be an increased amount of space for storing reactant for their fuel supply. So that would cut down on space too. Not to mention increased storage for munitions. (yes, including the "Budweiser" mini-missiles. )

    I think we need to see a VF-1S as Roy next too....

    But we can consider them no longer being around to contribute to this world with their gifts , talents, personality and heart sad.

    Recently got this (as a gift):

    I get the feeling some of those ships used a gigantic rubber band and several troops to pull the pods back in it....

    Personally, I'd like to see more from B5 about the fleets and such. I know the main point was the station, but going forward, I'm sure there were more to the Earth forces than just what we saw thus far.

    I'll still take the original G1 Slag myself.

    Currently watching Redline (2009) dubbed version.

    Daedalus and Prometheus are about twice as big as a Nimitz class (at least) and with considerably far more internal space. That said, I think that 2200 might be more appropriate given those dimensions.

    Keep driving.

    True, but that said: all it takes is one mishap... Almost makes you wonder if humanity should be looking for another galaxy to move to. This one is filled with enough hostiles to scare H.R. Geiger into drawing children's books!
