    Looks interesting, hopefully it will deliver.

    Seconded

    This looks more promising then the live action flicks, its the 90s all over again.

    Ok, so it's not a real time render then, i.e. you render the scene from those angles, apply the textures then rerender?

    Nice, how did you do the in cockpit effect?

    I think the problem here is, that cosplay has caught up to hollywood in terms of what they can produce for a person to actually wear. In some ways they have surpassed it because they have more time to work on the costumes and more love of the source material. That's why we're seeing more and more CGI costumes with minimal practical parts. Still, the practical suits in TFA were amazing, want to see more of that in movies.

    It's sitting on top of my 17" laptop so I think it is bigger than 1:48, will measure when I get home. I saw a similar one that was 1:36 scale, I know these wooden models are weird scales.

    Smart move by marvel and it gives DC a huge black eye. I have a feeling that DC/WB might pull back on their movies for a bit and reevaluate how they treat them.

    So that's how they'll bring her back.

    That looks good and has me hopeful, though I still hope that the mysterious Grand Admiral ends up blue with red eyes in the final version.

    Nice customs, though why half the X-Men are wearing Torpedoes wet suit is interesting.

    THis may be cliche, but I want me some of these.

    You obviously haven't heard the latest F-35 news. When flying with internal weapons at a temperature greater than 35 degrees F the weapons bays must be opened every 10-15 minutes in order to keep the weapons from detonating. THey did not adequately cool the weapons bays after nestling them up against the engines.

    Col Kay must be rolling in his grave right now after how hard he fought to have the USAF keep the CAS role. Thing is, most Hog pilots I know would jump over to army in a heart beat if they received the planes. Maybe the Army should take back the role and fixed wing CAS. Lord knows that the F-35 will never be able to do the job with any kind of success.

    All my A-10 buddies have been acknowledging Kay this week. Sad to see him go. When Sprey leaves us that will be a terrible day indeed.

    I so love this build. Is this still papercraft? Are you reinforcing the material somehow?

    The Draken is a cool sight to see in flight. I would have loved to see the Viggen up close and or in flight. I had this diecast viggen toy as a kid that I was in love with, until my teacher confiscated it in class. I never did get it back. But it was the first canard wing airplane I had ever seen and I thought it was so cool looking and such a sci-fi looking design. In regards to the one that Pima Air Museum almost got, it would have been the first one on display outside if Europe. The local newspaper in Tucson ran an ad saying how the museum would receive the plane in late 2000. Two years later and nothing. I was working a project for the air museum, restoring a BD-5, and asked what happened. Everyone there was pissed about that subject but this is what happened. They had contracted to have the plane demilitarized but retain the hardpoints and plug welded cannon along with some other hardware that would get shipped in for the display. The Viggen would have been flown in and would have several fly overs the city including escort from the ANG and USAF (F-16s and A-10s) There was a huge press thing scheduled, then the brakes were put on the whole thing. The BATF did not want this foreign warplane getting flown in for use by a private organization and launched an investigation into it. They tied the whole thing up for over a year before basically stating that they could still receive the plane in the condition that was already agreed upon, one problem, the plane by that time had been chopped. The only way for the museum to get the plane now was to have it shipped. Shipping a plane that has been chopped is a lot more expensive then just flying it in, and the museum could not afford that.

    SO, I tried to watch supergirl, I did not make it past the first five minutes of cliche' sitcom BS before I tuned out. Should I give it another try?

    National Test Pilot School flies Drakens out of Mojave, they are cool to see in flight. I still get ticked about how Pima Air Museum got screwed out of their Viggen by the BATF.
