Captain America: Civil War, on Bluray Sept 13, 2016
Thom replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yes, I like that it doesn't have to be a single villain for the team to fight - or split - against. In that way, the villains are the main heroes themselves, because they are allowing themselves to lose focus on their friends and team mates truly are. The hero is the villain when they allow to happen what an actual villain would be unable to do. -
The T-70 is pretty cool. What we haven't seen yet, are the Resistance ships.What will their frigates look like, their Mon Col cruisers and such? I'm hoping we see those at some point as well.

Agreed. Definitely no longer a toy!

Gas stations...

My God she's cute!! Which makes me a perv - dammit!

Nice work on that Falcon. I have an MPC kit that I need to get to at some point. As well as the X-wings that are starting to come in, both Revell and Bandai.My SDF-1 also arrived today. Don't know when I'll get to that either. I have a bit of a model back-log of mid-builds to slog through. Which brings an update on my F4U-1D. I finally have her up on her gear. Next is a gloss coat and decals and then weathering. And a little more paint touch up before then... Oh well...

I only play with women...

Never mind the bad dubs, but check 6 minutes in. Main thrusters firing! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6xfgo_sdf-macross-ep-3-1-2_shortfilms

I love that it was FemShep. Wub!!

Where's the Mass Effect movie..? C'mon, we're getting Warcraft already!
-
In the series, I recall they were a bright blue when they first fired up..

'If you see only one movie this summer, see Star Wars!' I remember that. It's now a classic.

Here's another image. The proportions are not correct, but there's something more mature about the look.

Awesom shot at 4 min 47 sec!! What a beautiful beast. Why don't they make planes looking like this anymore..?

Overall I'm not a Purist for design. If it's close enough, then I'm fine. There's some work to be done to fix some fidly bits, but that's okay by me. But what I am seeing is another problem, and that's with the Prometheus, and the probably the Daedalus, mounting arms and how they are articulated. For the DYRL version, it looks flimsy to me the way the ARMD ships are attached to the shoulders with curving arms. I like the TV version mainly because the arms go straight back from the shoulders to the sterns of the ship. From looking at the first pic in Firesped's WIP post, it's clear they went with the DYRL mounting option. That makes the third thing that I'm going to have to try and change when I finally get mine from the mailman. Definitely going to have to shave some plastic - as well as build some up to make the clearances needed for a straight arm support...

I always thought that was a neat touch. Very real world for a cartoon back in the day. Ahum, anime...

...Stonewell SC-27 Star Goose? It was the shuttle that took Misa back to Earth. And the one she was in when Hikaru first flies the Booby Duck to her rescue. Awesome scene... http://macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/stargoose.htm http://macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/stargoose/stargoose-lineart.gif

I like that long nose on it. Just seeing Revell's snubby-nosed Level 1 kit shows what the alternative is. The wing split doesn't bother me too much. I would like larger exhausts on it though, especially to counter the huge cowls. Perhaps a variant is in order, mixing the T-65 exhausts with the T-70 cowls... Overall, definitely a sleeker, worthy successor to the Rebellion's tried and true war-horse!
-
Impressive stuff!
-
Is he at least called Gerald for short..?
-
I don't watch the show, but a good way to fool the TV viewers into thinking he was dead, would be to have him on all the shows saying that yes he is dead. Maybe he wouldn't even have to know that they were bringing him back. But by not having him on, they are leaving it ambiguous, and open. Here's hoping he shows up suddenly, saving the day once again!
-
It looks like the angle problem starts just behind the ammo box. The rear of the fuselage looks upswept just slightly too high. If you cut it there and put in a plastic wedge filler, you could probably bring the whole tail down to where it's supposed to be.

I remember seeing a delta winged F-22 several years ago. I think it was in Popular Mechanics, not too sure at the moment. But they did speculate about a delta winged FB-22. Big bomb payload, no vertical stabilizers, broad delta wings... Close to this,

Nice C3PO! Now make him move and talk!

I can accept it... I do intend to make some changes whenever I do build mine however...
