    The worn paint is not the issue, the fact that it is actively flaking and curling is. Aircraft paint doesn't do that, and when it wears to flakes off, doesn't curl, etc...

    That looks horrible, let's hope it is not that

    Um, it is a new design, based heavily on the RMcQ concept design of the X-Wing, but it is in no way the original X-Wing or any design seen on screen to this point.

    Is it just me or does that new "X-Wing" look like ass? I mean flaking paint? I saw peeling paint on it, that crap would come right off the first time it tried to fly. Then the pilot climbs up into the cockpit by stepping into the torpedo tube. Seriously? And a handhold that is permanently open? At least it looks like the pilot might have slightly better forward visibility, but the rest, sorry. As unrealistic as the original X-Wing was, at least the design made sense and had some utility. This thing just looks like a bad fan model. I would give them props for using a full size prop, except that it still looks like crap, and there is no way that those long freaking landing legs would ever fit into the bays they show on it. Plus what is with all the loose wires on the landing gear?

    Well if you must crib your plot from something, at least do so from something good. OF course how many people have read, or seen, the Forbin Project?

    So we're getting Vision too? Cool.
  7. Knight26
    very cool, but until I see it moving under its own power I am not convinced that it isn't just a full scale mockup

    Ok KB, spoiler tag it and tell us about the flick.
  9. Knight26
    Hmm, looks interesting, somewhat akira-esque, might be worth checking out. Of course if it is any good it might mean that a real, and good Akira live action could be made.

    Honestly I find the Lynch version unwatchable for the most part and much prefer the syfy miniseries, despite the low budget, it was far more true to the book, deveating mostly to give Irulan more screen time.
  11. Knight26
    That would be cool.

    I love how the 1970 configuration looks like how an F-16 and F-35 had a baby.
  13. Knight26
    I wonder how they will compare with the finemolds kits.

    Here are a few more I just animated: GF TigerCat Light Fighter, this one needs its textures redone, they were corrupted during the computer move. [VIDEO] GF Solaar Mk1 Anti-Bomber Interceptor. These relatively cheap craft are sent out in large numbers to intercept incoming bombers and torpedoes. [VIDEO] UCSB Splicer 2000 Cutter High Speed Fighter Interceptor. [VIDEO] UCSB Splicer 3000 Marker Strike Bomber, standard configuration. [VIDEO] UCSB Splicer 3000 Marker Strike Bomber, support gunship configuration. [VIDEO]

    Here are a couple more to enjoy: The Feral-F Heavy Bomber The Splicer 5000 Firehawk Space Superiority Fighter (sorry about the background is so dark, will redo later) And of course an enemy fighter, the GF Corvus Space Superiority Fighter

    Finally had a chance to watch this. Interesting show and premise, the military hardware porn was awesome. Some crits: Why are russians flying CH-53s and US civilian Helos? Would it have been so hard to replace the CG models with those of actual russian hardware? Using the Queen Marie as a model cruise ship, sorry boys, but she is an old liner and they look nothing like that inside. The EMP should not have shut the whole ship down, but MIGHT have knocked out or played merry hell with the external electronics, tripping breakers, blowing transorbs and fuses. That MIGHT have overloaded the power system forcing a generator shut down, nothing major. Also, if that cruise ship was over the horizon from the nuke, that would have protected it from the EMP. The proximity to the nuke is what could have shut the destroyer down. Why a destroyer? If something that big was going down, why not a carrier, too much EMCon, too hard to conceal the flight ops? Filming aboard actual Arleigh Burke classes, I would have expected use on the Spruance class the navy uses as its self defense test ship up at Port Hueneme, and careful editting. The ship should try and link up with a carrier if at all possible, Unrep and transfer the lab if the ship is safe, lets face it a carrier has a nuclear reactor and the ability to purify water. Then, and I hate to say this, push the jets off the ship and start a farm in the hanger. Worst case scenario, you can ride out the infection until it kills everyone on land then inoculate the crew, go ashore and repopulate. Overall, I liked it and will continue to watch.

    Thanks, honestly, the more people who review and share the book, the better it will do. I would appreciate it if people who read it would cross post any reviews here. Also here is a nice little treat. The "hero" fighter/trainer of the book. First video I've shot on the new computer, yes still in autocad. I want to make some more complicated videos but am having trouble figuring out how.
  18. Knight26
    I'd laugh, but it is sad to see that done to a nice little F-5

    Predators wasn't horrible, nor was it brilliant or especially ground breaking in any way. Still, it was better than the AVP movies and actually served to expand the original story a bit. I would rate it higher than Pred-2.
  20. Knight26
    I may be in the minority on this one but I actually liked Pred-2 and Predators, they weren't as good as the original, and the AVP movies were an abomination on both franchises, but Pred-2 and Predators weren't horrible. I think more than anything that Pred-2 was flawed in that they tried to cram too many dropped concepts from the original into it. Also, let's face it, it would have been better is Gary Bussey's character was played by Arnold, and then he and Danny Glover team up to take down the Predator. Predators was an interesting take on the concept where the preds bring the game to them instead and I was pleasantly surprised by how bad assed Adrien Brody was in the film.

    Now up all major e-book retailers including iBooks.
  22. Knight26
    Hmm, I'll have to check it out. Now, far up the chain of command is Jayne there? ANd also, does he threaten to beat anyone with it?
  23. Knight26
    Now up on Barnes and Noble only waiting on ibooks now, for some reason they take the longest to list books.

    When I say the F-35 is one loud beast I mean it. My building at work is a good 1/2 mile from the nearest engine run up pad and the damn thing is shaking my builidng and setting off alarms while it does some kind of ground engine test. It is louder then a freaking B-1 with all four engine at afterburner.

    Well I'm out then. I don't play games without good single player storylines. Even as cool as Titanfall looks, I'm not going to get it if I have to go online to play it. I skipped on Star Wars: The Old Republic for the same reason.
