Knight26

I'm getting a trip to Japan courtesy of the US tax payer and the US Navy.

Man I want films like that at work.

Holy Shreg that was awesome, now it just needs control surfaces and the pushers plates for the legs and it will be perfect.

Hey all, I just got a trip to Japan dumped on me today at work. Yeah yeah I know how can I say it was dumped on me right? I won't go into that here but it is a total mess logistically and I just hope it goes off without a hitch. Anyway, I will be in Yokosuka the first week of January and then, maybe (hoping not) Sasebo the next three weeks working on a couple of ships. So, I need advice on how best to dress for the weather, I'm hearing monsoons and cold, sorry but this desert rat prefers his monsoons in hot weather. ANyway how should I dress since I will likely be doing a fair amount of work outside on the launcher? Also, does anyone know any good toy stores in Yokosuka or Sasebo, especially for Macross goodies? I know of the Toy's R' Us in Yokohama, and if we have time I plan to stop by there. I am not sure if we will have any days in Tokyo, but if we do, the location of TRUs or other good stores would be appreciated. ANyway, hope the MWers who know Japan can help me out here. Oh and when is the Winterwonderfest, maube if I play my cards right I can arrange to have us in Tokyo that weekend?

Hmm, wookies and water, that planet must smell to high heavens. And I just still cannot get behind that new Jedi Starfighter, I am not a fan of the design.

No wait I've got it, "Jay and Silent Bob, Jedi Knights"

Interesting, NJO maybe?

Except for the huge fugly screws and hinges those look pretty cool, with some neat little features, like the removable engines. It even looks like they have an A-10, anyone seen that one, did they do a good rendition of my baby hog? I may have to pic one up just to see. Oh what the heck I'll get a couple for my 10 yr old nephew too.

Have to agree here. Really I don't see what's so great about her. here here

You can say that all you like, but I've seen that clip and that is indeed Natalie Portman. There is an ugly rumor going around that it is actually Agent One in a bikini. Now that one I might believe, except have you seen the *shudders* pics he has posted of himself with his shrit off, he has bigger boobs then her. Portman does nothing for me, maybe if she looked more like a real woman she might, but she doesn't. Give me an actress that looks like a real woman over her any day, like Monica Belluci or Sasha Alexander.

looks like a body double to me, and I will continue to say so until you can see the whole body and face.

Why would you want to see that, I could understand if she was actually atractive and looked like a woman, but come on she's got the body of a 12 yr old boy.

what anime is this from?

The way I see it is that the FB-23 will have an edge over the FB-22 in the eyes of the general judging the competetion in large part because it will have a more "convetional" configuration in comparison to the FB-22. The USAF has always been reluctant to approve any plane that does not match what they think a fighter plane should look like, hence the lack of deltas and canards in the US inventory.

Very Nice, can we see it with the bow cannon open adn what the firing effect looks like?

The "helo deck" aft of the bridge is a nice touch and good tie in to modern designs, but why do the textures turn white around the major edges like that?

That is fairly cool

I guess we know now how Dooku gets it.
