    I remembered the infamous "well, it was better than Twilight" category from the "worst SciFi" thread, then I imagined the studio thinking that if you need a robotic actor, get Kristen Steward... Watch the first movie of the original trilogy, then jump straight to Fincher's version. The other two films are not as bad as the books, but only for Noomi Rapace, and they feel much like made for TV.

    I mostly work with a paint:thinner ratio of 2:1 with Tamiya acrylics. Fortunately, I collected a lot of those semi-transparent containers for 24mm films when they were still around. They're perfect to store mixed paints.

    I hope it will be a bit more accessible than GITS Innocence.

    Did I mention Rooney Mara?...

    Here's an Old School version (Chris Cunningham 2005):

    I Never really cared for the design, but your kit looks spectacular! Congratulations for another step forward.

    If you'd ever built one of the old MPC X-Wing kits, you'd know that the real weak spot is the mounting of the rear engines.

    Impressive - I first noticed Isaac in Amenábar's "Agora", and now he appears in one hot production after another.

    Let's see what they did to the TIEs...

    Yamato Boxers anyone?

    If you can't remaster the Original Trilogy's movies one more time (yet), there's still the original comic series to make over. http://www.theforce.net/story/front/Remastered_Marvel_Star_Wars_Adaptation_Coming_161575.asp While Howard Chaykin is one of my all time favorite comic artist, the distinctive, abstract style he had in his early days is completely ruined from issue #2 on, where Steve Leialoha takes over the inking from Chaykin. The massive plastering of text balloons isn't helpful, either. Here's an example of the remastered/re-colored issue: You find an entertaining look at the original comics here: http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/07/16/touring-marvels-star-wars-1-vader-needs-a-drink/

    Is Oscar Isaac's character piloting a black X-Wing?

    Looks like it. I used it on my 1/144 Falcon, and it works great giving life to those surfaces. You should thin the paint a bit more than normal, and don't worry if you wander off the selected areas. Irregularity is wanted here.

    Considering the big names that are associated with the product, the result looks rather underwhelming: I think the final execution unfortunately accentuates the weak basic design of the machine. It would look better with a heavy weathered paint scheme.

    You have the perfect setup for an interesting weathering effect: Spray the lighter color only in the center of the hull panels in an irregular fashion. This will leave the panel lines slightly accentuated, looks great on aircraft models. Optionally, if you want a cleaner look, you can choose the overspray method you described. I suggest mixing white or light gray with clear, it's easier to achieve a homogenous coverage this way.

    I use a small block of wood that I put on the desk, then place the sprues on top in a way that the wood supports the spot where I cut the part. That is especially helpful if you cut clear parts like aircraft canopies.

    If you had doubts that Bandai could ever rival the Fine Molds kits (like me), look at this expertly painted Bandai X-Wing:

    A subtext-free disaster movie - do we even need this?

    ESA not only makes comet chasing space probes, but also cool promo videos

    Looks like a movie prop. Great work.

    I think Katoki really got the feet wrong on the Deltas. They would look much better with the Zetaplus or S-Gundam's feet.
