    Sounds like they would have been better doing a third season of Star Trek Prodigy instead. Heck, they could have done it live-action too, with the cadets on the second Protostar continuing the Federations explorations after the attack on Utopia Planetia.

    Next in the queue: Yeah, that's the classic. ☺️

    Nothing beats the original Anime, also of the same year ;

    Though I hadn't seen Scott Pilgrim that is what some people are comparing the film style of the new Street Fighter movie to. If it has good reviews then I'll see it.

    I don’t know too much about him. All I know is that when a movie company says they’re basing something off a storyline from a beloved run or graphic novel from a comic, they rarely end up being as good as that. I do still think there’s always a chance this movie might be good, but the trailer is definitely not showing it. But as I’ve said, if I do end up hearing it’s really good, I might check it out, but probably still gonna wait for streaming. I don’t know that I ever really cared for Supergirl, so maybe that’s another reason I’m not too excited about her.

    Definitely more stylized. There’s no way an Asian lady is getting those famous Chun Li thighs without some kinda surgery

    Actually, i have the feeling we are going to revaluate the '94 version😢

    Probably still looking for that 5/8" Deep-well Socket (3/8" drive), per the missing tool report I had to write up for QA on Prometheus, back in 2009... ten minutes before the ship turned into two ships...

    Shape is mostly done, it’s the inner backplate that needs some adjustment. The part should be tapered at the back. Right now it’s a bit THICC.

    Looking good! What’s the new profile for the calves going to look like.
  20. nightmareB4macross
    The details of all those FSS kits are just so beautiful to see in process and finished. Of all the kits my favorite is still the Emerald Jagd Mirage with its long twin spires. —— On another note, the gunpod sits well in fighter mode. And the reduced intake shrouds rest in the perfect place. Calves still need to be finished and the inner backplate needs to be addressed. But all said, it’s looking good.

    Not sure how deniable a several-hundred-megawatt laser cannon strike from a light second away would be. It's not a capability that most forces would have, so it'd be pretty easy to narrow it down. It'd definitely be sudden and unexpected, though a VF would not even be able to close the distance in a reasonable span of time to capitalize on the strike without a fold booster. (Even at 7km/s that's a 14 hour flight.) It is described as being use for "sniping" though... a more correct use of the word than what goes on in Frontier at the very least, shooting from a frigging light second away. The particle beam version is described as having been used in a stealth counterterrorism operation that involved ambushing a small fleet of rebel Zentradi ships occupying a factory satellite and disabling them by shooting out their power systems.

    I may take you up on that! Right now, I do wonder if I can restore this with the parts on hand, even though I think the metal parts shown will be pitted at best when done. For those who remember, no, I haven't touched that (similarly sun-damaged) VT-1, as I think that might not be salvageable with how brittle it is. This Jetfire seems more of a hopeful case.

    This would be a pretty limited scenario, presumably only against rebel colonists or other protoculture sub-races (which all seem to be fairly primitive). I don't think action against Zentradi or Supervision Army forces would need any deniability.

    No Sagat? So, Juli is that Cobra Kai villain girl from the last season?
  25. pengbuzz
    Cody Rhodes looks MUCH more like Guile than Van Damme ever did! The others look a little slim compared to their videogame counterparts, but I take the game versions as stylized and not realistic. All the same: I'll give this a chance.

    I have the remains of a junker Jetfire 1/55; I have most of the metal parts except for the left shoulder hinge (dunno where it is, I can look if you'd like). Here's a pic: Let me know if you would like these and I'll set them aside for you. I can pull the metal parts out of the plastic for you (plastic is sun-damaged) so you don't have to worry about messing with that.

    Thanks. White rust would seem to be what this is called. That assumes that Bandai used Chrome-plated Zamak for the diecast parts. Can anyone confirm they did? Looking things up in general, it seem like electrolysis is the most effective method of removal, but bathing the parts in vinegar and maybe lemon juice for awhile could do the job too. I just hoped someone here had been through this already and had more valk-specific advice. Blue/green sounds like it might be limescale too, come to think of it. That might be a different situation.

    One of the other toy shops I go to is charging $160 per toy if you pay cash when the items arrives. I haven’t done a preorder through them before but this was all setup with them last month with the tariffs already at full swing.
