  1. yes! Finally a pic I can send to my friends and not get laughed at!
  2. This just looks like a remake of 'Point Blank' (remade as Payback) with kung fu and a chick as the lead role. Is QT just doing another unathorised remake or am I wrong?
  3. It's a cross between the Terminator, Independence Day and the Matrix.

    1:60 GBP-1 !?

    cool! I am VERY late to this party but I am so happy!!! I've never owned a GBP set as I can't justify spending that much money, but now I'll have my moment in the sun. the chunky monkey fists look like somthing off an Imai toy.
  5. I certainly won't list all my tastes as it's probably been listed already (kanata's list took the cake). But I'm 27 now and music has been a big part of my life since I was 13 - I would have between 4 and 500 cd's collected over the last 14 years. But my favourites would be (or what I've been listening to a lot this year): rock - Janes Addiction, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Queens of the stone age, Gomez classical - rachmaninov, chopin, beethoven retro - blondie, devo, new order rap - public enemy, run dmc, jazz - miles davis, dave brubeck and the seatbelts music from cowboy bebop dance - plaid, kid loco, death in vegas, thievery corp, lemon jelly, boards of canada, underworld good soundtracks I've heard recently: 28 days later, requiem for a dream, Donnie Darko
  6. I've got the 1st version. And to my shame I bought this one a week agon on the hlj sale. I kinda like the 'faded anime cel' look.
  7. DAMN you! I have been looking for this toy for like a year! And now you let me know that HLJ has them in stock! Thanks for making me spend more moeny!!!
  8. Lovely work. Camo paint jobs IMHO are the most difficult to do. I did my hasegawa basttroid kit in a 3 colour camo and I was so OVER it by the end. There was a mountain of masking tape a foot high by the time I finished.
  9. Thanks for the info Draykov! Taka - put me down for one of those option decal sets! They look great. Don't worry - I can wait. I have to pay off my credit card before I buy anything else. Hmm, got a (silly) question. As the 1/48 nose is removable, for the sharkmouth, would you make the decal in 2 parts or would we be better off applying it then carefully slicing down the join with an exacto knife?
  10. They're basing a lot of the movie off Ennis' 12 issue maxi-series. So hopefully we'll see him feed some baddies to a couple of Polar Bears! I have to say, as a punisher fan since I was 13 (I began reading the Punisher at #6) I don't mind that they have 'modernised' him. He would just be too old. It's OK for us comic fans who have a long history and knowledge of the punisher, but to translate him to film and have his begininning you'd have to either update him to a recent conflict or set the film in the late '70's.. hmm, that's not such a bad idea! And I like the choice of Jane as the punisher - I'm interested to see more of the psyche of a broken man at work than just a beefcake hell bent on revenge. That's why the first punisher movie didn't work. There wasn't enough empathy with the character. (plus dolph can't act his way out of a paper bag)
  11. Wow... that guy must have the patience of Job.. and a lot of free time.
  12. beautiful! I've been thinking of doing something like this to my low-viz. Can we make requests? I really wanted a decal of the pointy-teeth mouth that the A-10 tankbusters have to put on the nose of my 1/48. And those red roses insignias would look great on the wings.
  13. Love your custom S! Put some decals on it you lazy bastard. I wonder what that toy would be worth now? I agree with an earlier comment - it reminds me of Armored Core a bit. Which is a good thing! And I like it a lot better than the original paint job. Lately I've interested more in 'realistic' paint schemes - military colour shades rather than bright red with gold trim.
  14. Robots always have knives! Just look at evangelion - knives everywhere. I guess they just look cool. Robots don't need heads either but they've all got em!

    HLJ Crazy Sales

    I might finally attempt to customise a 1/60.. Hey, at 20 bucks I can't go wrong!

    Your Valks

    I got it cos I loved the decals and the '1D' training look. to be honest, I've enver transformed it to the 'wave rider' mode or whatever it's called. I did the panel lines with a very fine mechanical pencil and it worked pretty good.

    Your Valks

    That's ok - I didn't have it either!

    Your Valks

    They are very sturdy - those rubber knobs on the ends of the stands stick really well to the toy.
  19. Couldn't agree more. I think she is a dreadful actor. I was laughing at her all the way through Monster's Ball. Like when she got with Billy bob on the couch and went all primal: "MAAAKE MEEE FEEEEELL GGOOOOOOODDDDD!" lol.
  20. Guppy / 42" / 1pc / Navy Blue / Polo / Short also, maybe we should put our 'second preference' if there is a split vote?
  21. I'm with Paulo - short sleeve polo, UN spacy logo on front and art on back. What about for the art, using the cool minmay logo from the old MW site and changing the "'84 summer" lettering to "MWS Hong Kong '04" ?
  22. lol! The 'sleeve' is the part of the shirt your arms go in!
  23. I'd prefer red or black as well - or maybe blue? I'd probably prefer a t-shirt over a polo, but I don't mind. Ditto for long or short sleeves - either or is cool! And as far as art goes, I'm a big fan of the art on the back - I think it's cooler and a bit subtler. You see all those star wars fanboys with a big picture of yoda on their fronts.. yuck. 1 tshirt for me! I don't forsee my wife wearing one to work.
