    IDK, I think KITT would find the Delorean to be too stupid to hack.

    Another cool build coming across the Desk of @pengbuzz!

    Wish I could say I was trailblazing!😄 https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/builds/rm/build_rm_5206.shtml As to parts placement, I'm just worried the big items, like the gun muzzle and the placement of the main gear well. The Tamiya kit is going to donate the new muzzle and I'll have to cut a hole for it along the back edge of the canopy on the Hase nose, and I'm thinking, after having cut off the rear of the Hasegawa's lower fuselage, that I can put it in all-in-one without needing to cut it up any further. Then it'll be a few sessions of cleaning up the new joins.🤣

    On my table is a bit of conversion work. Over the years I have managed to get a hold of two of the old Monogram F-16XL kits, and have thought about putting them together. Now there is an F-16 GB going on Britmodeller and so I offered that up for the sacrifice. After a false start where I ruined inscribing the kits raised lines (and discovered that said lines were fictitious anyway) I restarted with cutting out the kit's nose and central body and replacing them with one cut out from a D-model Hasegawa kit. (The first try was with a Tamiya CJ, but the sublime detail on that is really too good for the Monogram parts and that brand new kit will now be a part's mule for the build.) So yeah, three kits going into one, as I will be using the Tamiya cockpit/gear and wells/burner can in a Hasegawa body mated up to Monogram XL wings... Gonna be a Frankenplane. What would that be called? Tamasegram? Hasamiyamon? Montamegawa..?) Anyhoos... Parts cut and inserted and waiting for clean-up and refining. (...pssst, and repositioning the gun further back...) Thom

    I'm looking forward to it. It looks good, but I just need them to not Worf the finale - again! Just give us a live version of the book finale for once. And not to harp on the show, but I just finished rereading the Eye of the World after some thirty years since the last time, and it brought home just how much they changed from it. Yes, changes must be made for an adaptation but they really made it something different. Again, I'm fine with that as I have always come into this as it NOT being the Wheel of Time but something different altogether. I just need them to have a good finale. And maybe, some time in the distant future, someone will finally do a live-action version of the Wheel of Time.

    The naughty thrill of perusing someone else's stash!

    @Dangard Ace Adjusted and thanks.

    Hyped just for the news itself! That should go to show how ready I am for even just a wiff. There have been a few passing from the cast, John Matuszac and Anne Ramsey being most known. If this does through, I would imagine it would be multi-generational. If they do end up doing it, I could see them wanting to set up a new younger cast to keep a franchise going for the next ten or twenty years.

    KITT can jump, but the Delorean can fly.

    My recent 'toy' purchase, being a 'statue' of Artoria Pendragon - Saber, from Fate Stay/Night. Just a slight scuff here and there and she needs a new stand. But I like her. Love the armored skirt!
  11. Thom
    That's a cool looking pair!

    Good trailer, but it was too long and showed too much. (Never-minding that I have seen it before in animation.) It came across as a mini-movie. Less is more, chop off a minute and fifteen.
  13. Thom
    True, but for modellers who don't use paint, it makes it easier for them.
  14. Thom
    Cool....
  15. Thom
    Seen it and also save the pics. With the new Glaug coming out, enterprising modellers can try and make a kitbash version of it.

    @Nyankodevice Nicely detailed look at the bridge. Gonna print it? @nightmareB4macross That is an intricate bit of work! @pengbuzz Hopefully it is good for relaxation. @electric indigo I forget the anime, but they have some real funky designs.

    It doesn't have to look pretty, or mean, to work. That being said, get it in someone's sights and it's not going to last long. Converted freighter's aren't made to survive combat, no matter how fully they are converted. But still, this could start a naval trend. Why spend billions on one massive aircraft carrier when you get a handful of some smaller (and more expendable) ones at a quarter the cost.

    I like her Peng, progress looks good!
  19. Thom
    I agree!

    But what I want to see happen, and this is half joke/half hope, is have that kid get birthed out of a dinosaur egg, and they're all like, 'well, that happened.'
  21. Thom
    I'll watch it and probably like it - but where did the kid come from? Why is there another kid?!
  22. Thom
    Not much for super deformed stuff, but that is a pretty neat addition.

    Don't know if it can count as a 'purchase,' at the moment, but I recently did a Late-Pledge for the Saphira statue kickstarter, being done by Wraithmarked Creative in association with Christopher Poalini. They will/are doing a 12in tall statue of the dragon Saphira from the books which looks just awesome! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wraithmarked/saphira

    It looks like a fun ride, Repetitive, but till fun. And it has dinosaurs! And Scarlett Johansson!!!!

    The first few shots I wasn't feeling it, esp with Ben's huge brow ridge, though I know that is more comic accurate. But as it got going I started digging the 60s future-vibe, and the voice-overs of Reed and Susan were giving a nice emotional timber. I'd say one more trailer and then I'm more than likely seeing this in theater.
