Great idea. I remember wanting one of those so bad as a kid, mainly because it looked exactly like a VF!
-
Not on the bench anymore... DUN!! Finally finished this one, the Bandai 1/1000 Yamato. Finished with the Mr. Color Yamato colors and a weathering from ProModeller wash, followed by a nice dull coat.

While I wasn't watching, that's when I stopped. It showed me that nothing good was going to come from this show. It was all going to be sadness, struggle and loss... Pass.
-
I already know how it ends. Why I don't like a lot of prequels, especially because most of who you are in introduced to, are now dead... Including their descendant., -
That a great looking Vajra. I'm sure your daughter wants one of her own now. The battlepod looks great. One of the better alien war mechs And that display wall is gonna be awesome! For me, back on my shelf is a /1000 Yamato that for the longest time, was scantily clad only in primer. The saucy minx!!
-
Lovely work on that! One of several favorites designs from the show. Sad it didn't get more air time.
-
I like the acronym... Boner... Shame we will never be able to use it in real life.
-
I'd much rather just the plain Andromeda. Then I'll beef her up myself!!
-
Wow, that last pic... Nice model!!
-
Great news!! Need some Seagulls, some Melda's fighters, some Borodinos and Andromedas!
-
Looks awesome! And nice Prophecy too!
-
That was pretty cute!
-
The very last episode with be the extinction of the human race...
-
Nice looking Lancer, and that Legioss (Alpha) brings back memories...
-
Some more work done on the XP-47H She's not glued together yet. Still awaiting cockpit PE and fitting a mount for the spinner.
-
That's going to be a cool looking 25!
-
Nice paint booth and great lighting on that Zentradi ship!
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Love to see this continuing. I didn't see Legacy, but all the ones with Damon are stellar! I like that stiles is coming back, as they have a history that needs to be explained - and our boy Jason needs a new squeeze! The first was in 2002, so that's fourteen years... Damon was all 'fresh-faced' when that came out!

Ye's it's a bash between a Tamiya P-47 and a Koster vacform kit of the XP-47. The white is what I cut from the Koster kit, as I wanted to keep as much of the Tamiya detail as possible.
-
Currently? As in other projects not yet done but moving on anyway..? XP-47H in 1/48
-
Very nice. Do you have plans to produce this for others..?
-
She did have that sweet, wholesome face. And what a pretty smile.

Yes, Starkiller Base is not only a massive energy weapon, but it is also a hyperspace generator. That's how it's beam crossed so much distance so quickly, and it's even said to that effect in the Resistance command center. And no, they are not in the same system, which is why the whole scene of everyone seeing Hosnian Prime being destroyed ends up as just a bad redo of the shot of Vulcan being consumed while standing on a planet nowhere near it. In that scene it actually would have been better to use the scene from ANH, where Obiwan feels the destruction of Alderaan. Although in this instance, it probably would have been Maz who felt it. (Not that I'll let that ruin my fun!) And it was my impression that the star does not go out. It merely dims as Starkiller Base sloughs off the top layers, which is then replenished over time. I don't recall any dialogue of the sun being snuffed out. What I really wish, was that the movie was just ten or fifteen minutes longer. It doesn't take much dialogue or screen time in a movie to get the subplots better fleshed out.

And that's what it is all about! So what if it is not totally original? And in what sense? Good fighting evil? Plucky heroes battling against sinister foes? A journey across a vast distance to reach safety and or the prize? And a climactic battle to cap it all off? That sounds like almost every movie ever made, and almost every story ever written. What matters is how they get from point A to point B, and I think they did damn good! It was exciting and nostalgic, and I was rooting for the good guys and pitying the bad guy. That's one of the things I liked a lot about it to, in that we've seen Jedi tempted by the Dark Side. Now we have a bad guy who had been temped by the Light. It was the crux of Han and Kylo's meeting on the bridge. They were both talking about two different outcomes, but in a way that Han thought they were talking about the same decision. It has to do with every generation always choosing the newer product, because very few of what was made thirty or forty - or seventies - years ago does not age well. The ones that do are very rare. Take myself for example. When the new Space Battleship Yamato 2199 came out, I compared it to the original. The only interest I had in it was the story line. I didn't like any of the voice acting or the clunky visuals, or the animation that was terribly showing it's wear. Which is another point. We can do shows now with far more definition and detail than ever before, so it's no mystery as to why the old shows are just that. Old. I bet that any child who saw Snow White or Cinderella when they were new in the theaters, would choose them over black and white Tom and Jerry or Betty Boop. It's not just this generation that abandons the entertainments of the old. It's every generation.
