    So the Luftwaffe has to drop it's 1.5 billion Euro RQ-4 "Eurohawk" program because the aircraft doesn't have an automatic collision detection and isn't allowed the fly in European airspace? *insert epic fail meme*

    Here's the interesting story of the Viper Mk. II design right from the creator, along with some nice renders & facts from the show: http://sci-fi-museum-pierre-drolet-com.webs.com/viper-mark-ii-and-iib

    Well, it has some big names attached so I imagine they'll do a proper marketing campaign. If this does well we might get some good looking old school SF movies going.

    Exactly. Even physical models built for films have a given "resolution" in their size/level of details and the quality of the surface finish. BTW you'll be amazed how many physical models were used in the prequels. The modelers put even more work into the perfection of these to keep up with the image quality of the CG surroundings and the requirement of digital shooting.

    The Major letdown with 3D-printing your own models is that you spend more time working at the computer than on your workbench, whereas modeling time for me is the time I specifically do not spend at the computer.

    So she was the one who ripped the concept from "Simulacron 3"?

    I see they switched the racial stereotypes?

    Yeah, but on the other side I learned that in hospitals without the GE software, the personnel has no idea where the ultrasound device is at the moment.

    917-30 build for (and dominated) the 1973 Can-Am with an insane 1.200 bhp. I would have preferred the closed LeMans body, but this was the car I was given. I guess the scale is around 1/32. Here's the current state:

    Maybe it's a new paradox psychology marketing strategy: They want us to flock into the cinemas to see how bad it really is.

    The renders looked better. I hope they learn their lessons from the print.

    Yes, that's the 1/72 Hasegawa kit. That "E" kit is discontinued, but most of the parts are from their '94 "C" release, with holds up pretty well. I only added a pilot from their aircraft personnel kit and some plastic bits for additional details in the cockpit.

    Calling Yukikaze similar to Top Gun is quite a stretch. Ok they both contain some airplanes... Yukikaze is closer maybe to Solaris than to anything else. The novels are 100% nerdware, they'll need a major makeover (even more than the OVA did) to be accessible to the general audience.
