  1. It definitely did not get the love they gave their 1/100 EX kits.
  2. After creating tons of fascinating anime and game characters they give us something that looks like a water-corpse?
  3. I start to like it, but it's certainly way more into the anime realm than the previous Macross F designs.
  4. You must mistake me for somebody else, I never proposed such a hybrid. The pictured kit is from the Gundam 00 sidestory 00P and conveniently offered by Bandai as a HG kit: 1.5 Gundam I just made some minor detail upgrades and gave it a different paintjob.
  5. There are still some refinements to do, but I just took a shot of this sleek guy
  6. Yup, it's the Hobby Boss kit. Details are very good, and it's very affordable. Some may consider the lack of full intake tunnels a weakness, but you really have to go in there with a flashlight to notice it. I think the decals could be better and will look for a replacement set. There's a detailed review at arcforums
  7. A rare sight on my desk: An aircraft that is not from an anime or game.
  8. I think I could live with all the other small inaccuracys of the Zvezda kit, but the wrong size of the cockpit is a big turn-off for me. However, there seems to be a nice resin kit around:
  9. The T-50 kit is already out in Russia and somebody did a quick build: Taken from here
  10. I took a closer look at the new material on the Zvezda HP. I think the cockpit is far too large There's also an alternative kit from Pit-Road in 1/144, but it brings it's own issues: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10135288
  11. You only get the impression because of the Dreamlifter in the background.
  12. Just a typo. It should read tile loop, of course.
  13. Source Code This is directed by "Moon"'s Duncan Jones, and I like the rather minimalistic setup.
  14. I'm surprised the idea didn't get exploited earlier: http://steelgetsreal.com/ Unfortunately, the robots look totally silly, and Hugh Jackmann isn't a guarantee for a good movie anymore, either.
  15. I remember that the "who is infected" tension creeped me out more than the actual monsters, who were too over-the-top for my taste. But I found the dissected stuff at the deserted station very disturbing. Great designs.
  16. Combustion engines. I mean, this is the 21st century, right? I want my solar-powered hovercar NOW!
  17. A great Monster from the January issue of Hobby Japan:
  18. Don't forget mutilating his own father in the process.
  19. Found a nice built of the 1/200 Monster in splinter camo paintjob: http://www.modelers-g.jp/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=5895
  20. Hobby Japan has combined the new Wave legs with the Imai Defender torso
  21. Now for some more important news: Zvezda will bring us a 1/72 kit of the T-50! Hobbysearch link Oh and Hasegawa is working on a proper SU-33 in 1/72.
  22. Mind to show some of that? I think the VF-4 and VF-11 just barely fit into Hasegawa's realm of realistic aircraft designs, the VF-2SS wouldn't survive a redesign. Imagine it being riddled with rivets! PS I also voted for a 1/48 Saab Viggen.
  23. I'm actually more annoyed by the "Oldboy" remake.
  24. I have both the old Tomahawk and Defender, and the (Imai) Defender is already a major improvement against the (ARII) Tomahawk. I agree that the new Wave kits are fantastic, but there's no reasom for a somewhat experienced modeler to shy away from the old kits. I think you can get great results with the Regult and Monster with an OOB build and a good paintjob.
  25. The VF-4 needs your support.
