    Thank you, just wish I'd figured out the joints a bit more so that the poses were a bit more exciting!

    He also starred in the BBC TV series Jekyll (scripted by some hack called Moffat, whatever happened to him? ), though apparently its not one of his better performances, suffering from the curse of Hiring A British Guy To Play An American (the trans-Atlantic equivalent is Hiring An Australian To Play A British Guy)...
  3. F-ZeroOne
    Possibly more importantly, can the cast sing?

    Nice poses! I took my photos shortly after getting it and didn't want to move too it too much because I wasn't quite sure how the joints worked and I didn't want to mess up the paint job! I've put together MG kits before but Turn-A really impressed me when I saw it and I wanted something special for this one. I should have made it clearer that it was painted for me, not just built! The builder actually had to order some Gundam markers for the panel lines, I think they drove him a little bit nuts... And the cow became a sort of running joke between us...! Now, if we can just get a DVD release sometime before the Universal Century starts...

    I finally got my Master Grade Turn-A back from the builders the other day. Due to my less-than-stellar construction skills, this was put together for me by Nick Bedwell of Screamin' Eagle studios, London, England (http://www.freewebs.com/screamineaglestudios/productpage.htm). Remember, kids - got 'tache? Got Turn-A Gundam. Turn-A turn, Turn-A turn, TURN-A!

    For calls, "Inner Universe" by Yoko Kanno. For texts, "Newtype Ping". Or perhaps thats the Universe trying to tell me Char is near...?
  7. F-ZeroOne
    You forgot to mention the shoulder pads! How can you make any comments about FSS and miss those...?!!
  8. F-ZeroOne
    Oh, I'm sure it could have. Its the missing "falling out of the sky afterwards" part that it probably would have had trouble with.
  9. F-ZeroOne
    That thing is the definition of "beautifully ugly"... And Bandai are on notice about the Turn-A. I know where they live. Japan, right?

    What you have to do to make your national product carrier compatible (also, a treat for the landing gear fetishists ): http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthrea...5983&page=3

    I keep saying this, but add Turn-A Gundam to your list, though it helps to have seen some other Gundam first to put things in context a bit. However, its perfectly watchable as a "stand-alone". The only downside is theres still no official release...
  12. F-ZeroOne
    Forgot to add - the BBC will also shortly be broadcasting "Survivors", a remake of the 70s Terry Nation-created end-of-the-World drama. One of the cast is Freema Agyeman...

    David Tennant fans might be interested in the forthcoming HBO/BBC co-production " Einstein and Eddington", which stars Tennant as British scientist Sir Arthur Eddington and somewhat improbably, Gollum - er, I mean, Andy Serkis - as Einstein. Its due to be broadcast in the UK on the 22nd November. Also, there was a two minute preview of the forthcoming Christmas Special during the BBCs Children in Need telethon this evening. Its probably already circulating, but be warned theres some big spoilers in it...

    Super Robot stuff is great to dip into every now and again. And no "real mecha" show has ever inspired a lyric like "Only the finest violence for those that defy even God!". And go watch Patlabor on TV! Like, right now! We'll wait!
  15. F-ZeroOne
    Apparently a possible 12.5Gs. Though the more I think about it, the more it looks like the pilot forgot something important. "Wait, this isn't Edwards!"
  16. F-ZeroOne
    J-Turns. Not just for cars: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bgaOrCYb7b0 (although I feel I have to make a joke here about the pilot having seen a Typhoon coming the other way... )
  17. F-ZeroOne
    Its worth it - the ending is a bit of a deus ex machina, but its otherwise pretty good all the way through. Still has one of my favourite anime chase scenes, one that ends in a Hall of Mirrors...
  18. F-ZeroOne
    I just find it scary these days that theres all these young whipper-snappers into their "Nar-u-toes" and "Depressions of Ha-ru-hoo" who might not know the significance of tiger-stripe bikinis. The first movie is pretty much a UY TV episode writ large, but my favourite UY movie is "Remember My Love". We were born to be free, kids!
  19. F-ZeroOne
    I'm not sure if its worth renting again, but theres an end scene featuring Tony Stark and a certain very well known actor playing a very well known Marvel character...
  20. F-ZeroOne
    Kids, if you're wondering what "Urusei Yatsura" is, ask your parents. DARLING!
  21. F-ZeroOne
    ZZ improves quite a bit from about episode 22 onwards; up to that point its worth suffering through just to see why it was so important that Tomino be kept miserable at that stage of his career. One of the things I never got over there is poor Bright being reduced to the Universal Centurys greatest straight man...
  22. F-ZeroOne
    The original series is still worth a watch, if you can forgive the 70s-era animation, design and disco music. Whats interesting is that you can almost tell the point when Tomino steps up a gear - after reading so much about Gundam for so long, finally seeing the moment where Lalah appears for the first time - chills up the spine, that is.
  23. F-ZeroOne
    The YF-22 is not Macross, but during its development it was competing against the prototype Northrop YF-23 [1] and its often cited that this competition was one of the inspirations for the plot (and look) of Macross Plus. I really liked the Iron Man movie; I felt the ending was a bit of a let-down but everything else was very, very good. If you haven't seen it, do watch past the end of the credits! [1] Something of a fan favourite on Macross World, and also quite possibly the most Macross-y real world aircraft ever.
  24. F-ZeroOne
    I quite liked the first MS Igloo; it was interesting to see an anime focussing on what we Brits used to call "operational research"; however I was a little disturbed by the "good guy Nazis!" feel on occasion and I think they also spoilt the ending a little bit - Tomino would never have let that happen...
  25. F-ZeroOne
    I wouldn't exactly call it "current", but Fang of the Sun Dougram.
