@Chas That battroid with Max is very cool! @wm cheng Great looking Zero! Getting a metallic and chrome finish is tough (or so I've heard) and it certainly looks bright, shiny and chrome! @electric indigo Nice paint and finish on the plane. @SteveTheFish has two good looking ladies on his bench! Been a long while since I watched Nadia and I've actually never seen Record of Lodoss War. Might need to give that a watch.

These movies are so divorced from reality, it would not surprise me. And it might make it good!

Galaxy Rangers definitely! Though I would love to see it as a series. It has an underlying story dealing with the main guy's wife and possible invasion, but a lot of other stories to keep things varied. I think the closest to it would be Space Rangers from 1993. Another would be Bionic Six. And Macross would be a dream to see!

Have had posts removed as well. usually in a 'discussions' with others that broached too close to poli tics and such.

I just assumed that the whole 'war college' thing is a left-over from when Earth was not part of the Federation, post Burn. In Disco, we saw that Earth had it's own defense force and I'm assuming it is still in existence, in-effect right beside Starfleet, and maybe fodder for future integration back into Starfleet as things progress. As to the show, the first episode was all right, but these last two were hokey nonsense! My gawd! That's not to say I have a problem with the plot, but just the decision to turn the Academy into basically a futuristic version of Animal House, and not done very well at that. Drop the attempts at comedy and get to the overall story! In fact, this would have been better if these cadets were third or fourth years, giving them more leeway to get away from the frat house um, the Academy. May give it another episode before deciding to abandon this one. Man, really wish they'd given us another season of Prodigy...

Your cruiser is looking real good, @pengbuzz

That's wild! Something reminiscent of Scar or Chiggy Von Richtofen. And what's not to love about armor with cod pieces!

Another from pinterest

No, it isn't, but it's better than leaving the dog home all alone. At this point in her narrative, she's no shining example of responsibility, but neither is she completely complacent.

Liking the mods @pengbuzz!

Now that's a mean looking Glaug! Interesting that it's using a targeting pod. Very cool.

And that is why Bumblebee is the best of the Transformers movies and, IMO, the only real one. Honor the source material (though you don't have to be strict about it adherence) and concentrate on a good story. It's a simple formula that people still mess up.

She left him with an extremely protective 'uncle,' so in that she was alright. And, as I understand it, this movie is going to be about her getting beyond the pain of her past.

The chrome on that Zero is looking nice @wm cheng!

Well, she did leave him with her cousin, which was a responsible thing to do.

Wow! Sadly, I just bought a new car, so...

Yeah, Superman was a bad intro to the character, but I'm liking this more the more I see.

I can see someone using it in table-top gaming.

Probably cost an arm and a leg, but that looks sooo cool!

I was ready to poo-poo this, but no. It's looking alright so far.

Best thoughts and wishes going to the Mrs. and you, @pengbuzz. Hopefully they won't have to do anything invasive, and they can get started on the chemo. Try and keep your spirits up, for her as well as for yourself.

At four hundred years old, you're either going to be insane or almost Spock-like, or a laid back hippy-type who has seen most of everything.

Just watched episode one, and I was expecting not to like it. Turns out, I did... Yes, there were some goofy moments. but for the most part I think it was fine. Some editing goofs, like Ake ordering all shields front when the enemy was behind them, but that was gone so quick it hardly mattered. The dialogue was alight too. Not Shakespear of course, but Disco-level either. Still not liking much of the sets, esp the lighting on the bridge and the way pulses so distractedly. I am liking Holly Hunter as Ake. I did like when she was talking with Braka and she just casually draped herself over the Captain seat to keep him from sitting in it. Also Sandro Rosta as Caleb Mir. Most of the cast are okay, though I hope the one playing the hologram cadet tones it down a bit. Didn't see episode two yet, so I'll see how it goes from there, but for the first episode, there have far worse.

Tidal waves. When the SDF-1 folds in order to escape the first attack, they took all of Ataria Island with them, as well as a lot of the surrounding water. Now, imagine the sea around that rushing in to fill the empty spot. If an earthquake under the ocean can cause tidal waves to hit the surrounding land masses, then I wouldn't surprised if there were massive tsunamis almost world wide.

That plane is looking ready to soar @electric indigo @Papa Rat That looks more like a piece of medieval art! Glad the BUFF is finally on final. Those decals look nicely settled @derex3592 @505thAirborne Holy cow, that Battlestar is looking good! Looks worlds apart from its simple Monogram origins! Nice find with the Leader-1 @pengbuzz. Really liked that cartoon as a kid, and we know it is in good hands. Enterprise is looking ship-shape too! And so glad the Mrs is home and doing better! Tell her, we all wish her well!
