    I highly recommend the novelization of ROTS; Dooku, for example, has a longer internal monologue about his view on the Clone War that adds a gravitas to his character that is completely lost in the movie. I also thought that his speech to the captured Obi Wan could have been a brilliant turning point, what if we wasn't the traitor to the Jedi, but actually the starting point of the rebellion? Instead, he turned to a cardboard bad guy seconds later. There were promising stories in the PT, but the execution was miserable.

    Aah, the old days of modding no grade kits Hobby Japan style when we had nothing better to do... Here's the old 1/144 Shiki, I must have added a whole centimeter in height. The feet were re-cast from the S-Gundam. Unfortunately, I chose a cheap looking acrylic gold for the paint job, that finally kept me from finishing it. I also found another pic of my old Zetaplus with the Hummingbird scheme:

    Don't forget that Vader could sense Luke's Force-Fu when he was chasing his X-Wing at the Death Star Battle. The simple explanation is that Vader was nobody's father until the script for Empire was written.

    I have no problems rooting for a character that isn't a goodie-two-shoes golden boy hero. In those shows you mentioned, the characters, as bad as they may be, are humans after all and they face human dilemmas, and have to make choices at one point. That results in some kind of drama that makes these shows interesting. I don't find that in the SS movie (yet). Still, the Avengers movies showed how to challenge indestructible and similar one-dimensional (or so I thought) protagonists, so maybe there is still something to discover amidst badasses posing around and blowing things up.

    The visuals are all there, but I wonder why I should care for any of the characters.

    According to the latest news, the German Tornados operating from Incirlik can't fly night missions because the cockpit lighting is too bright... - Also, Skynet presented their first Aerial Hunter Killer prototype:

    Katofication in progress... I like the HGUC's proportions better than the MG's, but I still had to add 2 mm at the mid-body part.

    Say what you want, Cloverfield is my favorite Giant Monster movie. The new trailer looks interesting, this can go in any direction... IMDB says: "Waking up from a car accident, a young woman finds herself in the basement of a man who says he's saved her life from a chemical attack that has left the outside uninhabitable."

    If you're desperate for Ranka, you can have mine from the regular G.

    We wouldn't be able to afford it with the usual Wave pricing anyway.

    That is hot. You need to shoot some better pics of it.

    If you find the grey Zeta Plus boring, you can go for the blue-white Hummingbird scheme, or the red & white Amuro/Karaba Air Force version. I build the old kit years ago and went into full surgery madness

    One Gundam down in 2015, ended up with the Koto Anubis at 75%. Will try to make 2016 a better year, of course.

    All the pics from the MG V2 had me so hyped that I put the HGUC on top of my production line

    Interestingly, the violence against children, often carried out by children, annoyed my so much that I wrote a letter to a letter of complaint to a german Manga distributor. That was almost twenty years ago. It seems to me that it's a common trope in Manga directed at a young male audience, with some artists openly living out their revenge fantasies against peers that may have expelled them in their younger days, which are well received by adolescents who feel the same during the hard times of growing up. The characters being stuck in a situation (war) or a system (conspiracy, secret organization) that leave them no other choice is a comfortable way to take away the blame for their decisions. It's a ongoing motive - from Akira to the Hunger Games.

    Make room for Dragon's 1/35 AT-AT!

    Interesting to see how some subtle changes of proportions give the First Order TIE Fighter a more aggressive look.
