    The movie was a dirty little gem – so effective in transporting the sense of dizzying height, I was on the edge ofmy seat the whole time. Great craftmanship. Woman of the hour, the directorial debut of Anna Kendrick, is on Netflix, too, don't miss it.

    There's the Italeri kit (which is reboxed for several other brands, including Tamiya) and a Revell one, and both are ...not Hasegawa. By the way, Matchbox managed to rush out their Alpha Jet kit before the first flight of the real thing. I was molded after the full scale Dornier mockup, so it only roughly resembles the actual Alpha Jet. I won't apply the mockup scheme, but someting related to ...Canada 😄

    Please stop trying to make humanoid robots look like humans. I mean, what's the point? I'd rather interact with a cool looking droid than a not-quite-there plastic zombie doll.

    Very cool. I love the muted colors.

    @all A lot of stuff to be excited about going on in this thread. @wm cheng There's another trainer in the pipeline already 😀 But first, I go back to one of the earliest planes I build in the pre-teen era: Now, I won't touch this rather crude Matchbox kit again; instead I'll chose the Kinetic 1/48 kit. While the latest Kinetic kits are on par with Hase, those from the earlier days are all well-detailed, but the part's fit is all over the place. But it looks the part:

    They were, but IMO the result was a watered-down version of the bold original design, while the Nu Galactica evolved from the precedessor and created a unique aesthetics. The design of the Mk7 apparently came from a totally unrelated Flash Gordon universe? And don't get me started on the Raptor... But these things didn't get in the way of the story. As mentioned, TOS happened in a galaxy far, far away, but NuBSG got under my skin at that time. Also, I really enjoyed seeing Baltar back recently in Slow Horses, hadn't changed a bit.

    While the Nu Vipers were just ok in my book, I appreciated the concept of the Nu Raider as the robot being the craft (or even an ace in the "Scar" apisode). But the real hero is the Nu Galacatica, which I consider the most imaginative & tasteful departure from the classic design. And I'm glad we even got a decent kit out of this. Nobody can take the experience from me enjoying the OG as a teen and then being blown away by how different Moore's approach was. And then the intensity of the space battles – imaginative physics, handheld camera, all rendered in cinematic quality by an unknown FX shop on a shoestring budget, and Taiko Drums IN SPACE... Those were the days.

    Thanks for the warning, we were planning to see that next. On to Cemetery Road, then.

    Netflix' "The Beast in me" was the best miniseries I watched in the recent past. Good writing, beautifully shot, and the two leads are killing it in every scene. Hitchcock reloaded.

    Apparently this is still a thing:

    @derex3592 +100 points for the in-flight display! @Papa Rat The colors on the Terror look great, love the semi-flat stealth look.

    I strongly suggest that you degrease the parts again after all the processing like sanding and drilling. The worst enemy isn't the ominous "mold release agent", but finger grease.

    So the Messer goes back to the original design before the Fujita makeover? Dengeki posted pics of the Argyreus:

    The decals are on and the appearance changed from toy to aircraft model.

    Since we don't have a "Silent Moebius" nor a "Cool model announcements from non-major franchises" thread, I'm posting this here where I figure most of the modelers hang out. Also, I predict this will be on my workbench in the future.
