    I got a late start tonight. My Christmas break is almost over. Why can't I stop this show??? I'm now 7 episodes in and I'm LOVING the universe it's set in. The Imperial beueroc- bueaocra- brewerocracy is spot-on to how I imagined it in my mind all these years. It's a Nerf-eat-Nerf world which saps resources but lets the best float to the top. I love this ISB chickie, she's cold and calculating and is making a tremendous villain, but I can't shake the feeling that she and her rival ISB dude just need to hurry up and bone and get that crap OVER WITH ALREADY! *ahem* I'm loving how every little NPC gets reasons for doing what they do in a huge galaxy, each playing a part in the larger story even if they don't know it. But I also like how the galaxy keeps turning despite their losses and hardships, just to bring into focus that not everyone can the main characters and sometimes are just specks of an NPC. Mon Mothma is stealing the damn show, and I so want to just slap her douche bag of a husband with a smelly nerfhide. He just oozes douchiness, and her daughter is a brat supreme. I wonder if the Brat could meet up with Leia and get some pointers? Aww, who'm I kidding? Teenage Leia would have them sneaking off to bedrock-level nightclubs and still be prim and proper in the morning I still don't care for Syril. I actually skip most of the scenes with him and his mother. Here's a hint, dude : No sci-fi officer should pattern himself after Arnold Judas Rimmer. Just... don't. Four episodes left. I can only hope the wrap-up for this is as satisfying as this middle section has been! ps: It's so, so incredibly refreshing to have a Star Wars story that doesn't even bat an eyelash at the Force or glowsticks or secret hidden Jedi that slaughter whole levels of troops and boss battles that shouldn't ever remain hidden. This is my jam and it's awesome!

    Just finished Episode 4, and I'm faaaaar more interested in Mon Mothma and her (seemingly? Kindasorta is?) douchebag of a husband. I want more politics of this era! Despise Siyrl? Syrial? The corpo cop who's DEFINITELY a douchebag.

    Okay, I'm very, very late to this party. I just got D+ tonight (well, last night) and I started with Andor. Rogue One is the only good thing Disney has done with the IP so this is the place to start. I'm just 3 and a bit episodes in and did the casting director look at Chernobyl and say, "Get me everyone who worked on that?" 'Cuz I recognize 3 actors so far in pi episodes. Also love the little drop of an "increase in construction materials to Scarif." Love the worldbuilding, even if the first 3 episodes were so. Frickin'. Slooooooooooooow. I don't need to sleep, right???

    I was talking about the giant mold box with "CHEST" and "BELT" stenciled in places. I wasn't sure if you then sliced each little mould apart from that conglomeration, or if you just casted all the parts at once. I dunno why I thought you'd physically separate the moulds from each other.
  5. CoryHolmes
    Oooh, a question about Pic 62. With the mega-mould of pink gooey goodness, did you then separate each teeny mould from the bulk of just left it as-is and cast the whole lot in one big batch?

    Does anyone have any updates on X-Transbots James//Bond? Last I heard it was supposed to release a few months ago.
  7. CoryHolmes
    Things are lookin' mighty nice there, Cap'n! Gotta admit, I'd be really tempted with a 1/6th Cyclone in Battloid mode kit...
  8. CoryHolmes
    I'd completely forgotten that I've already preordered and paid for her It'll be interesting to see how this Dana Sterling matches against the KidsLogic 1/6th scale version, which I dearly love.
  9. CoryHolmes
    Broke down and ordered the Dana Sterling statue. First of all, she HUEG! I know it said 1/6 scale in the title, but as a non-figure collector that didn't really mean much to me. But I bought her for the impressive colour scheme and not her impressive size, and they knocked that outta the park! Photo's don't do the metallic hue justice. It's just the right shade. Her un-armoured face is okayish, but solidly in the uncanny valley that is most anime figures. But only a dum-dum goes into battle without their helmet on anyway

    How extreme are the design changes that you've had to make to accommodate the articulation?
  11. CoryHolmes
    Rereading this, you've hit the nail on the head as far as my distaste for these designs go. They are everything BUT graceful!
  12. CoryHolmes
    There's something about Pic 34 that hurts my brain. How do you get that giant slab to roll up and fit into the cardboard tube beside it???
  13. CoryHolmes
    haaaaack-paTUI!! That is all I have to say about that.
  14. CoryHolmes
    And drinking from the Holy Grail! That has to count for something! I really did appreciate Crystal Skull for daring to embrace Ford's aging and updating the setting/baddies. I wonder how this film, said to take place 36 years later, will address that.
  15. CoryHolmes
    Hey, at no point did I say that you didn't have very, very good reasons for your colourful commentary Yeah, the Ride Armour does seem to be better thought-out than the SC mecha.
  16. CoryHolmes
    It seems to me that you normally complain endlessly about how these poorly-designed mechas don't translate well into 3D shapes. Is this project different or easier?
  17. CoryHolmes
    Doesn't invalidate what I said. It's hovertanks or bust!
  18. CoryHolmes
    Hovertanks, right? RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!
  19. CoryHolmes
    I want.

    Damn, gone way too soon 😭 I got out of the MMA game a long time ago, during Rumble's reign of terror. I stepped away because I decided that I couldn't be a part of an industry that revolves around convincing young men (and women now) that permanent brain damage is just fine while the stockholders are the only ones who get rich in the end. Maybe if the UFC had a long-term retirement contract or health services, instead of washing their hands of what they encouraged to happen and then bringing in the next round of suckers to fill the gap... WWE was scummy with how they treated their talent in the 80s and 90s, and the UFC is no different.
  21. CoryHolmes
    I'm always amazed at your ability to break a subject down into simpler shapes, and then combine those shapes into a 3D object. Plus the patience to actually see it through, since I'd never get past cutting out the images and gluing them onto the blocks... Though at this stage, Pic 20 has a surprising similarity to an Alpha Fighter's leg assembly. Makes it easy to believe it came from the same human service.
  22. CoryHolmes
    Oh. Um. I blame sleep deprivation.
  23. CoryHolmes
    Maybe I'm just slow tonight, but how do you have a finished piece beside the body in photo 01?
  24. CoryHolmes
    Probably a cost-cutting measure. Less tooling, less designing, less of everything expensive.
  25. CoryHolmes
    Yeah, what he said! At this point, this new trash is just awful.
