  1. Even if Moore's BSG hadn't had the creative, original writing and great actors, I'd still love it for all the Epic Space Battle scenes and the Galactica's design update. Just hearing the DRADIS sound effect takes me right back. And I was a huge fan of the original series. The "33" episode is peak SF TV. Pretty sure Esmail will ride heavily on the "they are among us" paranoia train, which is kinda his home territory, but it's hard to imagine the show not having some nice space stuff.
  2. He got a reaction from John Dykstra!
  3. Aviators must have reeeeeeally sharp eyes to notice these details while in a dogfight...
  4. @Rock I find using worm masking much easier since I can concentrate on the coverage and texture without having to hit the demarcation line on each panel. I also start with the darkest color, because when you paint over the light color border later, it will look different from the other areas with the dark primer coat.
  5. I would have loved a movie when it still had a chance to become "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly IN SPACE", but with all the story already told in the series, I don't see how it could be anything other than more of the same. The entropy continues...
  6. Red Power From Muchan's post here:
  7. @TangledThorns Watch "For all Mankind" instead.
  8. @MechTech Very close! I chose the later low-viz pattern; came out pretty good:
  9. A well made trailer. Song by Fever Ray, they were also heard in the "Dark" series.
  10. Time to add some spice.
  11. Leave the World behind impressed me with a stellar cast, awesome cinematography, and the uncomfortable depiction of our reaction (or not) to (any) impending doom when the signs are all there. And sequences like the Tesla Lemmings were the cherry on top. Can’t wait to see Esmail’s take on Galactica… The other favorite movies I watched this year (not produced this year) were, in no particular order: Athena – The camera work is just breathtaking, it’s worth to watch the making-of. Also, super-intense acting, it feels like a documetary from an embedded war reporter. Babylon – Epic, multi-layered cinema; with the soundtrack, the movie just took me in for a rush. Robbie is just a pleasure to watch here, forget Barbie. Maestro – A very intimate portrait of Bernstein as an artist and partner; the movie finds it’s own tone and unfolds very differently from the average biopic, you feel that Cooper put everything in the production and his performance. Movies that were better than they should be: No hard Feelings – love it for „I’ll date his brains out“ and Andrew Barth Feldman performing „Man-eater“. Spirited – Insane choreography in the part-musical version of „A Christmas Carol“, Ryan Reynolds shines again, and some nice twists. Also, this year I discovered For All Mankind and declare it the best recent SF serial. It’s on Apple+, of course.
  12. Panel by panel progress...
  13. Awesome paint work on the Artpla kits
  14. GTM = Mannerism IMO
  15. The usual madness from Hobby Japan magazine:
  16. @Chas Very nice retro-fit! I understood Bandai's idea of modernizing the simple shapes of the old Super-Robo designs, but the results were not entirely convincing IMO. You prove that you can still get a good figure from these kits.
  17. Just A24 doing their thing. They had me at "Smalltown Boy".
  18. Just checked IMDB, Brühl doesn't play Röhrl but Audi engineer Roland Gumpert. Röhrl is actually driving the Lancia, and is played by Volker Bruch.
  19. What, Brühl gets to play Röhrl after Lauda in "Rush"?! 😄
  20. Almost done with Sol, it needs just a few final touch-ups. Also, Orange Cat presented the final design of the Blaster, coming in Q1 2024
  21. It's getting more intruder-ish
  22. How to get out of a flat spin in your F-104 by Chuck Yeager: ...or not.
  23. @derex3592 Great job on the B-1! It's still the best looking bird in the current US inventory.
