  1. The Road to Dystopia Lots of stuff to discover.
  2. 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.
  3. I totally blame this thread for dragging me into this
  4. 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.
  5. It's actually taller than 1/144, but not quite 1/100: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2267746519 (The Mk.II is the Master Grade kit)
  6. The MC models Qubeley should be available soon: http://www.mcmodel.com.cn/qubeley/
  7. Is there any affordable Mac software that allows you to make decent quality meshes for printing? I work with an older version of Cinema 4D and the Bolean operations are quite horrible.
  8. Psssst: http://www.e2046.com/product/14181
  9. Ok now somebody build a tilt-engine VF-4!
  10. I guess they'll present the final kit at Shizuoka (May 16th.)
  11. If it's any consolation, I just found out that PLUM produces another famed Shirow design as a plastic kit: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10223540
  12. I got it more than 10 years ago from a HK contact, so I guess I'm as clueless as you as to where to find one now.
  13. Just saw "Confessions" on TV and it was quite an experience. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1590089/
  14. I thought I'd seen this as the bad guy's jet in one of those horrible Iron Eagle flicks, but found out it was actually Rutan's Ares.
  15. I remember that one. It is on the list of "Stuff I must build before I die"
  16. Seeing Kotobukiya's recent history of classic mecha designs, I wouldn't rule out a Madox IP kit.
  17. HOLY SMOKES! This looks like the best SF in years. Cyberpunk FTW.
  18. Cain, there was a 1/12 vinyl kit of the Madox (even with pilot), but I guess it's quite a rarity:
  19. This design will never be followed until they drop the canards.
  20. Spraying smoke on top should be no problem, but since washes include wiping over the painted surfaces, you should do some testing in unsuspicious areas.
  21. Hasegawa still owes us this kit! Thanks for sharing.
