  1. Hase has released photos fo the finished kit: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/MC02/MC02-3/MC02-3.htm What a beauty.
  2. Well Russia's military export business in 2009 had a volume of 7.4 billion USD. About half of that were "aviation technologies" (not "air defence", i.e. misiles), and they currently try to push the MIG-35 for India's air force. Lybia has ordered a bunch of SU-35s, and there's a chance that the UAE wil follow. By 2020, we will see NATO T-50 in Turkey
  3. So Avatar is nominated for 9 Academy Awards. And District 9 is up for 4 and competing for "Best Motion Picture" - has this ever happened before, two SF movies up for "Best"?
  4. I remember seeing a diagram of vanes in the intakes shielding the engines from frontal exposure.
  5. No, they should start the mass production F-23, which is, as we all know, the better fighter anyway.
  6. The small vertical stabilizers give it a very elegant silhouette
  7. Don't tell me you missed this
  8. Here's a nice hires one: http://lenta.ru/news/2010/01/29/pakfa/pak.jpg About the armament: * The PAK FA can carry either eight next-generation air-to-air R-77 missiles, or two large controllable anti-ship bombs weighing 1,500 kg each. * The new jet can also carry two long-range missiles developed by the Novator Bureau which can hit targets within a 400 kilometer range.
  9. Thank you for finishing this beast, Petar. The new canopys make it so much better. Is your kit a recast, because the decals for my Fand were perfect? I'm actually picking up my Sylpheed again and tried to make a heatpresses canopy, but failed with my first attempts.
  10. Here's a nice view of the silhouette from the top. See you in the next Ace Combat.
  11. What the official videos don't reveal:
  12. I also wouldn't want to see "ACCESS GRANTED" in 400pt letters on my screen everytime I log in... edit: Now that I think about it, it would be cool to have the screen go red and read "PURGE" when you empty the trashcan.
  13. "If you like this title, we also recommend... Boa vs. Python (2004) (TV)."
  14. Judging from the behind-the-scenes videos, Zeldana really did a great job there, but according to the Cinefex article, the animators also had to work their asses off to bring the performance to the digital character. The facial capture technology still delivers only the most basic pointers. The innovation in this production were helmet-mounted capture cameras, allowing to record the facial performance in the scene instead of having the actors repeat their acting standing still before the capture camera. But the animators also heavily relied on witness cameras installed around the set and manually reconstructed the expressions on the digital performers. So awarding the actor would mean neglecting the work of the animators.
  15. I also noted that due to the "computer assistance" the actors were remarkably better than the standard Hollywood actors.
  16. Not that the idea of killing someone using arm-sized centipedes was brilliant to begin with...
  17. New picture of the green 27 here: http://a248.e.akamai.net/f/248/37952/1h/im.../digitamin_cf05
  18. Not all of them are post-apocalytic in a strict sense, but there's a lot to discover in the list Top 50 Dystopian Movies Not on the list, but personal favourites are "Stalker" and the experimantal "La Jetée". "La Jetée" is told entirely with b/w still photographs, with haunting music at the appropiate places. Gilliam's "Twelve Monkeys" is a re-telling of the story.
  19. I was too distracted by her ass.
  20. "We can [access the most guarded secret EVARR!!/escape] through this air shaft."
