RIP, good Lady. She was great in Downton Abby.

I think some industrious modeller should be able to do it, esp it they have the fighter mode kit in the stash if they need to take some parts.

Just some pics from the model show I went to, of the Argonaut and a few escorts. Test fitted, and I find I'll need to adjust the angles of the lower pods. I'll also need to adjust the third turret slightly to port and move the fourth turret just slightly more to the stern. Shouldn't take too much to do that. And I'll be redoing the stand. That thing is just too big and clunky. I'll be using a flat wood plaque and two rods, one front and back. Don't know if they'll be acrylic or metal until I see how the acrylic works against the weight. Should work though. Thom

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
Thom replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
Not one pic, but a whole bunch! This is an album of pics from the local Rochester NY model show from the last weekend. https://imgur.com/gallery/rocon-42-model-show-2024-F7aDXH6 -
Which I think is alright, and even necessary. Everyone is like, 'where's the action?' but you need the build up between the action pieces to make them worth it. True, there was not much moved forward, but

Definitely a bit slower on the action in Ep6, but the plot moves on. I thought it was pretty good and I'm looking forward to the next.

Saw the first eps, and I'm liking this! Well done intro, interesting characters, and with awesome scripts. Makes me wish this was streaming all in one-go.- 1511 replies

Oh, can't wait! I love the way her eyes moved to the camera right at the end. Every day should be Wednesday!

Looks like he just hasn't put on the armored shoulder pieces yet. They hinge up to, independent of the center 'canopy.'

@pengbuzz I'd go with it pitching backward.

If this is akin to Goonies In Space (IN ANY WAY!), then we'll need space pirates!

Marvel Studios TV Shows and Animation on Disney+
Thom replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
...but, it was Agatha, all along. Which I felt was just an 'out' for Wanda's character to not be the one at fault for what happened in WandaVision. And, I felt, done a little crudely, with how Agatha just came out of nowhere. Haven't seen the first eps yet, but I hope they are leaving her evil.- 1511 replies

There's a scene in the trailer where they show water flooding an intersection. Without any further checking, I think this may take place during the Batman.

@Spacecore Thank you! Just trying to do a good job on it. And if you feel some angst about the Andromeda model, I won't show you the remains of the Ginga...

Ouch!! I saw the first pic and I felt that in my gut! I hope the corrective measures work, but even if not, you know there is still good plastic underneath all of that. Good luck!

Quite the happy accident @pengbuzz!

Good episode 5. I agree with @Big s that it does feel like events are moving a little fast.

Alright, more updates! You'll see in the pics, I started adding the normal bits and pieces here and there, finishing the hull up. Some of those are the wings for the bow. No. Wings on a space battleship feels a bit incongruous to me, which is one reason why I never build the Yamato with them deployed. So those will be deleted. First, I needed to cut some material off from them in order to fill the then open trench in the sides. Those pieces were then glued and fared in. The long PE piece that was going to be the side missile arrays are the perfect size to cover the trenches and those now become forward mounted chaff/flare/decoy dispensers. From there we move to the pods slung under the hull. I had considered grafting the mountings from the kit part to the new housing, but that would be a lot of work, so I decided to just pin them. But first, because the angles are different between the new housing and old kit part, I needed to add material to the struts, otherwise both pods would have a 'toe-in' when they were mounted. The white is the added material. Sandwiched plastic strip and CA, all sanded nice and smooth. Then were then drilled for cut down satin pins to serve as mounting pins. Then I had to mark and drill the spot on the new housing for them, trying to make sure they are even from side to side. I had glued some extra stryene in there to give the glued pins something more the grab onto. I put three pins in per strut. Maybe a little overkill, but it doesn't hurt, and because the pins are all slightly misaligned, there is a comfortable bit of friction to help hold it in place. I'm still going to glue them of course. And a shot of the mounting pins and both pods test-fitted. I think I am close to paint-stage now. Woohoo!! Thom

I have that pile too! Someday I'll have to start hitting the back-log.
