  1. Very interesting movie, if slow moving at times. Overall good.
  2. I am so looking forward to this.
  3. Watched the ending of rebels, overall quite a good ending, bitter sweet in some ways, and did, sort of, tie into the other films. Certain things were left open ended, which I liked, but I do have some critiques. I like that they left Ezra and Thrawn's fates open ended. They needed to kill off more characters. Why can they not kill off a certain character who should have died during Clone Wars to signal the beginning of Anakin's Fall? Inter-species breeding? Come on. This is something in sci-fi that has always bugged me and until now has never been canon in SW. So time to speculate on the next animated series: 1) An original trilogy era story following the rest of the rebellion (Rogue Squadron *crosses fingers*) 2) Sabine and Ahsoka searching for Ezra and creating a link to the new trilogy. If they do this, then Thrawn had better be alive too.
  4. I wouldn't mind another series that takes place during the OT or between the OT and NT, but I would prefer a different art style.
  5. That is cool. Does Google have it's own Voxel based modeler now?
  6. Is any more MTF being released? We need it now more then ever with that horrid Robotech Comic out there
  7. Serisouly, at this scale, why are the pilot figures not articulated?
  8. Macek's original vision? His original vision was to import numerous different mecha titles under the Robotech banner, but leave them as separate entities, sheesh.
  9. If you have the skills, it would be quite possible to modify the requisite parts to be jointed. If I had the time, I would look into it, but I am too tied up with other projects.
  10. Latest Spiralwar 3d prints I did for an upcoming book signing. I will raffle off this Splicer-1000 Dagger (after I clean up and fix some areas) to people who buy books and other models I will have for sale.
  11. When I print PLA I typically turn off bed heat after the first layer, just make sure you have good bed adhesion to prevent curling.
  12. Nice, what is printing setup? Printer, filament, slicer?
  13. I just looked back over the conversation he and I had. In short, he sold the 3D model legitimately to the artist to use. He did not know it would be used in the comic. Once he started making inquiries (after I brought it to his attention), Titan and HG basically told him not to make waves or they would declare it a derivative work. He did not mention anything about payments to me, but this was months ago. https://www.schells.ca/the-un-fleet Where you too can order his models, lol.
  14. It wasn't stolen. I had a long talk with the original creator of the VF-14 fan design featuring in this "comic." He sold the model to the artist, and the contract did not say it couldn't be used for commercial usage. He looked into it, and it was not "Stolen" but is being used in a way that was not originally intended, but was not prohibited by the purchase contract, especially given that hte model is only being used as a reference and not as the actual artwork in the comic.
  15. The artist's website http://angryjim.com/?cat=6 I know, when I'm wanting to hire an artist for a mecha heavy comic I hire a guy who used to do Adventure Time level of artwork. Some of his less cartoony line work looks ok, but then whoever they hired as inker and colorist killed it.
  16. WTF? They killed Gloval? And Rick has eye issue?

    Loving this, can't wait until you start printing it out. What kind of printer will you be using? And, will you be putting the STLs up for the rest of us?
  18. Let's hope this is good and takes after the comics
  19. Very nice, I love it. Did you design it to use polycaps in the joints?
  20. Announcing the release of Spiral War Book 4, Armageddon's Pall, just in time for all your winter holidays. Buy a copy now for the sci-fi fan in your life. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0782833RR
  21. This could work out great for the MCU, and Infinity War could spark M Day. Think about it, Vision dies, and Scarlett Witch loses it, but instead of wiping out Mutants she finds a universe where Mutants like her exists and merges them, here come the X-Men. Creating and Ultimate X-Men type storyline might be too messy at this point, i.e. mutants were created in an effort to recreate the super soldier serum. Though if you use the young X-Men you could explain it as they hadn't matured enough to have powers yet, but a small handful of mutants did exist. Though I wonder what impact this will have on Dark Phoenix.
  22. Through thingiverse you can ask someone else to print it, and negotiate a deal. Right now CR-10 printers (HICTOP) are on sale on amazon prime, for a great deal. I picked one up to replace my ANet A8 that I am going to rebuild. I will print this starting in the spring for my boys to build.
  23. I'd rather get the 3-D printed Cruiser mode on Thingiverse, $140 worth of filament, wiring my own speakers and lights, then put that much money in HG's pockets.
  24. The original maker got back to me on how much filament to expect to use. SO, yeah my earlier estimate was about correct, 5kg or so at this scale. Assuming $20 average per roll, you are looking at $100 worth of materials. But figure on actually needing 7 rolls of filament, so $140. Still better than that HG Speaker version.
