Go check out the trivia for Predator at imdb.com - here is a classic: "An attempt was made to get shots of the Predator swinging from tree to tree using a monkey in a red special-effects suit. However, the monkey kept removing the suit and the idea was abandoned." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093773/trivia

haha, I have that too. have had it for about 2 years. I gave away my old dvd copy of predator and rushed out and bought this one the day it came out. defintely worth getting for the extras. It's weird how living in Australia, aka the last place on earth pop culture gets released, we sometimes get first bite of the cherry.

I will hate this movie so much if they introduce a half alien/predator hybrid. Like the stupid baby alien in Alien Resurrection. If I see a big mutant alien with dreadlocks in this movie, I will scream real loud and walk out of the cinema.

Oh my!!! Love these valks... *Moans in pleasure* I was really only a matter of time...

Opinion: best starfighter designs ever
Guppy replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I know it's anime, but I love the Black Tiger, Cosmo Tiger and Cosmo Zero from Space Battleship Yamato/Star Blazers. And the retro funk of the BDG Viper cannot be beaten. -
I think that WWI and/or WWII planes that are used for airshows or other things get such gay paint schemes, it seems that anyone can get its hands on an old VF in the Macross world, I which thinks were like that in the real world, I would love to have a 30year old retired fighter! I still think Guppy should make a VF-1 that match the colours of his pet bird http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...opic=7205&st=20 haha, maybe.. I think I'll just alter it through photoshop. I would go insane if I had to look at an orange, green and blue custom on my shelf every day.
-
never seen M7 and probably never will. BUT I do like the red flames on the 1A in the second pic. I would happily make a custom using that scheme. It would be like a hotted up Trans-am or something.
-
Would you make a custom paint of a 1/60 following the colour pattern of your bird? I would be the VF-1A Poppy special... I like how well behaved is your bird hehe, that would be a really fruity looking custom! and don't be fooled.. that bird is so not well behaved! And here are a couple of gerwalk pics: (I'm still trying to learn how to use my digi camera properly)
-
My guess is they're the bootleg versions, which would explain why the pics aren't working. If they are bootlegs, $25 is a rip off.
-
And last, finally a pic of battroid that is in focus. sort of.
-
OK.. now that is REALLY enough. back in your damn cage.
-
Nice bird... niiice bird...
-
And here are some comparison pics to my pet bird, poppy.
-
Done! The exact colors were: Gray - Tamiya Color For Aircraft spraycan: AS-2 Light Gray (IJN) Blue - Tamiya Color For Aircraft spraycan: AS-19 Intermediate Blue (US Navy) They are quite similar.. Funny.. I never even noticed until you pointed it out. The 1/48 darker shade is a darker shade gray where mine is a grayish blue. 2 comparson pics to my 1/48 low viz:

hehe, sorry, I am lazy. I did panel lines on it last night so I'll take some new pics in a few hours from now after I get home from work (I uh.. promise! )

Style of the Last Couple of Evangelion Episodes..?
Guppy replied to Kamui 777's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I see it more like Anno's mental breakdown on film. -
It's funny.. this is the reissue that I was looking forward to the most. But now that the Binaltech Hound is out, I completely lost interest. They should have brought out the old hound first as the new one has stolen the spotlight.
-
lol! That will teach me to not read the thread properly!
-
I don't need to say how amazingly perfect this is - but your photography is excellent too! I wish I had a few photo lights handy - a camera flash just ruins the true colours. And I appreciate how time consuming and soul-destroying painting a camo is. Did you go into a trance-like state at times while applying the hex scheme?
-
I got the HG 1/144 Sniper. It's a great little kit. I can't see how a HGUC could improve on it much.
-
my one big tip with a 1/60 - get yourself a good metal primer for the metal parts as the paint can flake off without it very easily. and put a few extra coats of paint and clearcoat on the tab that joins the backpack to the body. As this joint rubs a lot, the paint can come off in no time. And isn't the cannon fodder 1/60 able to support fastpacks? I forget.
-
it was originally a max. From the hlj.com sale page! But by the time I'd scraped off all the paint you couldn't tell. Although I went for the max as there were a few QC improvements over the hikaru 1/60. And apologies for the bad pics. they're a bit dark and pixelated.
-
haha, thanks! My skeletor avatar.. the avatar site it came from closed down and I can't find it again! But I thought the spy v spy was cool. Eternal D - the paint I used was Tamiya spraycans for aircraft. I'll check tonight and do a comparison pic. Sebastian - ok, just for you I'll do some panel lines! But I'm going to use a pencil (mechanical pencil, now do you know what that is?) as black marker is just too harsh. And I should really putty in those screw holes.
