  1. Love the Gustav. It looks even better than the various garage kit versions that popped up recently. A lot of Katsumi Fujita's style is present in the kit.
  2. Fighter 1 at Shizuoka It looks kinda pointy & too straight from this perspective IMO.
  3. Can't agree with that. For three quarters of it's running time, I felt like watching Galactica 1980. To me, Rogue One provided the best Star Wars experience after the OT and I'd love to see Gareth Edwards do another take on the franchise. Yes, there were re-shoots and re-writes (at least, Disney's QC was still working back then), but even Lucas' cut of A New Hope was a train wreck, it wasn't until his wife massively re-edited the material that we got the movie that would appeal to a wide audience instead of a handful of SF fans. I mention that because I think that all the myth (or politics) you pack into the story or all the revolutionary FX mean nothing if you fail to build a suspenseful and entertaining movie from the material.
  4. Painting the Draken: After a first layer of custom mixed olive green, I follow with a thinned down mix with gloss white added. This provides nice weathering effects and specular highlights. With the application, I make up some pattern of the presumed internal structure of the airframe. The last shot is with the second camo color
  5. Let's not forget that the previous movies wouldn't be less craptastic with better looking transformers...
  6. Great to see another Fujita design come to plamo!
  7. Go at them with oil and charcoal and judge again when you have completed the weathering on the whole kit. _ I love this little guy. AGE had some great designs. I also got this off my late-90s backlog (spoilered for resin semi-nudity)[
  8. Even if I can understand Disney's concerns to spice up an epitome of escapism with social issues, I don't want to have them shoved in my face and being hit over the head while witnessing the ruin of a beloved franchise by the means of C-level moviemaking. As far as can judge this from afar, it seems to me that a lot of the SJW rage is not actually about the issues, but the way in which they are implemented.
  9. I wouldn't say the decals need to be darkened. If anything, I'd give them even more light grey overspray to bring down the saturation a bit. Are the tiny black stencils the are on the filming model part of the decal sheet? If not, you can make a simple stamp with a strip of cardboard and have a go at those plain armor panels.
  10. Thanks, wm. The Draken is Hasegawa's superb kit, the Viggen from Sweden's small model company Tarangus, formed by two Saab enthusiasts. Here's more of the Thunderbolt, I'm struggling with my camera to get some decent shots for composite work.
  11. That is a big (and cool looking) tank you got there! And it looks like you mastered that airbrush. _ Reinforcing my scandinavian air force After looking at that Delta aberrations for so long, I had the urge to go for the real thing. A beautiful design, like a formula 1 car; the Viggen looks like a truck against it.
  12. Awesome work! Congratulations to you both. Will we get more pics?
  13. I can attest to that
  14. Another shot of the Splinter Gripen. Too bad this wasn't used a a regular scheme.
  15. Fantastic work, joscasle! It really makes Hase's great kit shine.
  16. Spiders from Mars
  17. I could look at Yamashita's sketches all day long. I like his earlier work a tad better, but the way he develops shapes still ties my brain in a knot.
  18. Speaking of splinter camo, Hasegawa will release a Tomcat kit in the adversary scheme
  19. RG Sazabi from Hobby Japan: http://www.taghobby.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/hj06.jpg
  20. And Cordoba! Oh boy, so many awesome design in CJ, it really was ahead of it's time.
