  1. Interesting, I completely missed Iczer 1 - and while it's not a clear clone, I wonder if Gundam Portent's color scheme is a pure coincidence: Also, look at this: http://ryugassj3.deviantart.com/art/Iczer-Robo-Character-Model-by-Obari-Real-489432328
  2. The Ghost has some wicked shapes on it, I do not envy you for working it all out!
  3. Well, the landing pads have to double-function as the lower compressors, so they need to be big...
  4. Quite substantially bigger, if you ask me:
  5. Hmm, shouldn't the packs have the same footprint as the top surface of the engines at the rear end?
  6. The other guy's machine gets a kit, too: http://www.1999.co.jp/blog/img/20150925omochi29.jpg
  7. Tenjin cover Illustration for the Super M spotted: http://www.1999.co.jp/blog/img/20150925hasega41.jpg
  8. The quality of their kits/toys is doubtlessly high, but those prices will get you a 1/48 Hase kit.
  9. That is great news! Let Hasegawa handle all the fighters and Bandai the Battroids & Zentraedi stuff. Wave can finally produce their 1/100 Monster...
  10. "Monster", the blueprint for this outstanding movie, is on Vimeo:
  11. You can also go for the more affordable plastic kit: http://www.taghobby.com/1-0/1-2/壽屋-發售日未定:模型《metal-gear-solid》rex人型/
  12. Pictures of these kits can be found on the Revell Germany page: http://www.revell.de/en/products/star-wars/star-wars-episode-vii.html Let's say they're in the tradition of MPC's line of Star Wars kits.
  13. One of the earliest Missile Massacres has to be the Soviets firing a dozen missiles at Gary Powers' U2 and downing one of their MiGs in the process.
  14. Kotobukiya's Sahelanthropus plastic kit: http://www.taghobby.com/1-0/1-2/壽屋-發售日未定:模型《metal-gear-solid》rex人型/
  15. What? I can't hear you...
  16. The MG V2 will be interesting to watch, a big ZZZ for the rest. - Close to finish with my ZII, the gun needs some color highlights.
  17. They went with more practical props in the sets, but the days of motion controlled models for flight scenes are definitely gone. Up to a certain scale, models are still build sometimes for texture and lighting reference - and public events. Ironically, the Prequels are generally bashed for their use of CG, but I think we also witnessed the peak of FX model building there. Regarding the Star Destroyer - is that a hammer-headed ship on some kind of launch rail at the inside of the bow?
  18. How about an F-35 in IAF dressing:
  19. I can imagine Bandai wanting complete control over their products and having no desire to have their kits re-branded by anybody, especially if that would mean that Revell would earn the esteem for their own brand instead of Bandai. From every company's perspective, the situation makes perfect sense.
