  1. I started to work on my Kotobukiya Anubis
  2. Again judging from the 3/4 view, I think the nose should bulge less at the front when viewed from above. Everything else is pretty much perfect IMO.
  3. This is great work and entertaining to watch unfold. Regarding the nose, I think the front end and the "dome" are not straight rounded curves, but somewhat flat at the peak point. See the colored 3/4 view on the first page. The purple colored stripe above the Macross kite at the front gives you a good idea of the cross section of the dome.
  4. Fantastic paint & weathering work! Maybe the gun sensor should get a frame in the hull color to tie it in a bit more, but overall this looks like a studio model. Got any more work to share?
  5. Those walking drones are getting even creepier than the flying ones:
  6. From what I've seen and read so far, the Bandai kits actually have an edge over the FM versions in regard of the level of detail and accuracy. The pilot figures & droids are better, too. On the downside, some panel lines are heavier because of the color separation of the parts.
  7. At least the comic does a better job of looking the part
  8. Hey, you'll be even more impressed with the details & mechanics they put into such a small kit.
  9. There's a new (online exclusive?) Mecha Collection coming with several smaller crafts - looking nice, but the pricing is a tad ambitious at 2970 Yen. And where's the 1/72 DWG 262? http://www.taghobby.com/1-0/1-2/bandai-hobby-online-shop-2015年5月8日起接受訂購,日本2015年7月派貨-模型《/
  10. As for a low-complexity approach, you could back it with aluminium foil to get some nice hints of the blue when the angle of view is right.
  11. With the comics rebooting all the time, don't expect the movies to make too much sense in sequence.
  12. First teasers are out for Ridley Scotts "The Martian", sending Matt Damon into space (again) to get stranded on the red planet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lKgF_fSvA8 Always nice to get some "real space" attempts vs. the ubiquitous superhero operas.
  13. Hot Chocolate lead Errol Brown died yesterday - time to revisit late 70s disco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQsg6XXGxXQ
  14. I also recommend the comic adaption from 1988 by belgian artist Marvano. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forever_War_(comics)
  15. GGinfinite is an option: http://gginfinite.com/MG-1-100-Sazabi-Ver-Ka-and-RE-100-Nightningale-Funnel-Effect-Part-Set-P-Bandai-Exclusive.html
  16. Here's the Speeder Bike & Snow Plough Speeder. Y-Wing coming next (1/72).
  17. First glimpse of Naoki's Zeta (now "Lightning Zeta"):
  18. Well, you can put too much salt in the soup...
  19. There's apparently some kind of "Heavy TIE" in the hangar explosion scene. Note the red painted area at the left. http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/Star-Wars-7-Force-Awakens-Teaser-Trailer-2-Tie-Fighter-Betrayal.jpg The normal TIE can be seen in this shot: http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/Star-Wars-7-Force-Awakens-Teaser-Trailer-2-Crashed-Ship.jpg Some details differ from the original design (aside from the paint job): The engines are on top and bottom of the main body, and the joints at the panel are shaped differently. Does the pilot chasing the falcon also have red pinstripes on his helmet, or is this a reflection?
