  1. It hurts to read how they treated the model. You can see lots of pics of the Yellow Nostromo on Dennis Lowe's site: http://www.zen171398.zen.co.uk/Alien.html I still have the great Halcyon kit somewhere in my stack.
  2. The detail on the miniature from Sideshow is impressive - look at the closeups from the cockpit. I'm not hating the design as much as I did before, but it still lacks a certain degree of badassness. Someone saw a 15 minute preview of Avatar and was not impressed (after seeing D9 before): http://nznoldor.blogspot.com/
  3. Aaaand - we have toys: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=300032 I'm not watching the toy market in general, but it seems like Sideshow broke the sound barrier with the pricing.
  4. Chrome? What chrome? I agree that the old episodes are only watchable if you remember how you watched them as a child, but all the spaceship designs are still standing strong as they were back in the days. Like the Buck Rogers starfighter, the Galactica, Basestars, Vipers and Raiders are icons of SF. Ralph McQuarrie molded my taste for good. As for the remake - why not go full 70s-retro:
  5. First pic of the PAK FA: http://vif2ne.ru/nvk/forum/files/Mes/(0908...4)_IMG_0127.JPG
  6. Not too sure about Mead for the Colonial hardware (love the Sulaco, though), but I bet he could do some really sharp Cylons.
  7. Well the good news is that we get even more Galactica, Viper and Cylon redesigns. And eventually toys & models.
  8. I hope it is what I'm thinking of
  9. Welcome to the party
  10. One more pic of HA Klan
  11. Found a nice Yukikaze art pack at Archive Scans. It contains a handful of scans that I did not see before. http://rapidshare.com/files/262305427/Yuki..._-_Art_Pack.rar
  12. I'm currently busy with my other passion but that should be done by the end of next week, and I'll take care of the Sylphid again. I can basically start painting.
  13. The camo is not a decal, so it's an excellent paintjob from Chris. Congratulations for that.
  14. GA Graphic has bigger pics of the CAD renders, you can actually see some of the surface details http://ga.sbcr.jp/mplamo/013370/
  15. The Battroid looks cool, but the proportions of the fighter are rather clumsy IMO.
  16. New Revoltech - Eva-01 gets trippy http://www.hlj.com/hlj_gallery2/v/wonfest/...ageViewsIndex=1
  17. Since you already have access to a very good mesh, maybe it would help to produce some juicy visuals. That usually helps a lot in firing up people's appetite. Put the model on a (virtual) desktop next to a coke can so everyone can get an idea of what they'll eventually get.
  18. While the G is still on sale at HLJ: It just dawned upon me that you can use it for a CF VF-25.
  19. One of my favourite starship designs. And I agree that it's expensive, or it should be a lot bigger. I have the old 1/500 Takara kit and it's about 26 cm!
  20. Wasn't the Tomahawk always planned as a 1/72 kit?
  21. I'd like to hear why you think "Electric Sheep" is better than "Blade Runner". I read quite some of Dick's work, and while there are brilliant gems, I found "Electric Sheep" to be a mess.
  22. Excellent choice of colors, we need more of these "real" looking VF-25s. The subtle shading looks phantastic. You should have gone all the way and cut the mis-matching colors from the decals. Looking forward to see bigger pics.
  23. Hobby Japan has a tiny pic of the CAD model in their latest issue:
