  1. I'll have to check the box!
  2. I'll preface that I did like Star Trek 09. It was a fun movie and I felt the cast really played the characters rather than trying to make them into something too new. Into Darkness unfortunately, while having some good moments, was to much of a rip-off of WoK. That scene where Spock screams Kahn in a reversal of their positions, was totally absurd. But I think the hate for ID started when JJ claimed it would not have Kahn in it. But Beyond was very good. I felt it was a solid story with good action and personal moments and it is well worth a watch.
  3. True. But the show wasn't Battlestar Pegasus. And I would have been fine with him making that choice! HA! Spot on. I ignore their stupid over-sizing. There was never any reason for. The only time I get into trouble with it is when the model companies go by those sizes too, which makes it hard to keep the ships 'in-scale.'
  4. I know how you feel! That's why mine is sitting on the shelf half painted. I knobbed up the canopy real good, and I only had one set to play with. I really should check SSM store if replacements are available...
  5. I know, Discovery is the 'hero' ship. It would be like Admiral Adama choosing to save the Pegasus as his flagship over the Galactica. I would also counter that Enterprise is faaar more important than Discovery ever will be. But maybe I'm just old school Trek and would choose the Enterprise over the Disc. Plus, it's still just so butt ugly!
  6. To bad Pike didn't stay on Enterprise and just told Discovery to go back to the barn, holding Enterprise's beer.
  7. I liked the first trailer and this just kicked it up a high notch! The first was mysterious and melancholy especially with In the Arms of an Angel playing, but this one definitely amps up the action. I want to say I remember seeing the anime, but I only vaguely recall it. The imagery looks great, the atmosphere of the world they're in which is apparently three centuries past a devastating war is intriguing and I want to see her kicking major cyborg butt! I love stories like this, with a person out of her time and element, trying to find out who she is and fighting for the world she finds herself in. Whatever reason they needed to pause this since the last trailer half a year ago I'm fine with. Now I wish it was December already!
  8. Some flash backs to when they first appeared would be nice. To judge by all the missing posters, it wasn't a quick 'invasion,' as there was time to note someone was missing and to put up pictures, and then it would have reached a tipping point. I would like to see that. And normally I don't like to pick on movies and give them the benefit, but that part with the kid was just loosely done, especially when they are being so careful with everything else.
  9. I'm looking forward to this, but why couldn't Starscream just be an F-15, like the good old days?
  10. Finally saw this the other day, and it was really good! My only gripes would be... Other than that, kewwwwwwl!!
  11. I'm interested, but I'd prefer something after the movies rather than before. We know her background. Now show us more.
  12. Very good work on that Yamato! And I actually like the replaced missile launcher.
  13. Great work on that VE-1!
  14. Looks like some great progress so far! Really nice.
  15. Optimus Prime is the paycheck being given to Peter Cullen, and I'm at least happy about that.
  16. Looking very sweet! Currently on hold on my Seafire. I have to switch the nose out from another kit as I fubar'd it.
  17. I saw it just recently, I have to say I like it better than the original.
  18. The Rookie looks worth a look. Being Nathan Fillion I think the assumption is that it will be a funny cop show like Castle was, but I actually think it's going to be more dramatic than that.
  19. Saw it the other day and I really liked it. It's not Oscar worthy, but I was in no way looking for that. What it is is a fun ride with likable characters and a couple neat little twists that I hope will be expanded upon in the next one. It also fleshes out the pre-history of the series, giving a further idea of how Hammond got started on this. And considering how many movies there are, what happened at the end was bound to happen anyway. I'm interested to see where they take it from here.
  20. It's Airfix's 1/48 Seafire Fr46/47. With a liberal helping of cockpit PE.
  21. The Workbench is looking nice and busy. Some good looking builds going on. With mine, I finally reached the fuselage closing stage.
