  1. Visually ok, but the trailer was all over the place. I would appreciate less silly comic book humor and more of the drama that was a cornerstone of the comic. Still, I see Leni Riefenstahl in the list of characters, so bring in the Nazis! Oh, and Lobster Johnson is in there, too.
  2. I feel glad my first encounter with Macross was the first wave of Imai kits in local modeling stores, so I could skip all the RT stuff that came later.
  3. Can't wait for Alita:Desaturated...
  4. To me, the Manga always had a kinda Italo Western feeling, with passages of slow, calm idyl and outbreaks of insane violence. The makers of the adaption apparently were immune to that notion and went straight for the cool action poses etc. I could forgive that, if it wasn't wrapped in that plastic CGO overkill telenovela aesthetic that makes The Incredibles look gritty in comparison.
  5. ^is that the 1/48 Hase kit? wmcheng & arbit, it's always a pleasure to keep you entertained. Next on this channel:
  6. Final steps on the Draken. For the cockpit, I made the two small struts inside the canopy from stretched sprue. And we have liftoff I have to paint & install the pitot tube and the position lights. Also, a set of missiles is on order.
  7. With this and Aquaman, we're approaching Karaoke acting. Action looks good, but the past Marvel films have set the bar for the characters substantially higher.
  8. Amazing work! But won't you run out of space when the "ammo belt" advances?
  9. Good job so far! Is the intake grill canon? Adding the recessed band should also get you closer to the iconic look of the backpack.
  10. Talk about missed opportunities...
  11. Maybe the missiles shoot missiles?
  12. needs more missiles...
  13. The toys continue to look better than the real thing
  14. I liked the "Blade Runner Black Out 2022" short very much, so this is good news to me: From Crunchyroll
  15. There are some interesting angles on the nose compared to the Hasegawa kits, it looks much sleeker. And I like the rounder cross section just before the canopy.
  16. 2:1 thinner:paint, light, low-pressure pass. Here's the upper side: I just learned that the red labels mark the spots where you're supposed to punch through the hull with a fire hose in case of an engine fire...
  17. The Twin Ion Engine is just around the corner...
  18. That is pretty mean!
  19. Thanks, guys, alway a pleasure to entertain you. Slide, I have seen photos of faded roundels on the underside of the plane, I guess they pick up a lot of dirt from the runway. But I mainly dusted them to tie them into the overall color scheme, I like to approach my builds with a baked-in atmospheric haze in mind. When I was younger, I noticed that my aircraft kits always looked more realistic in color after a thin layer of dust had settled on them, so now I try to get that look from the beginning. The Hasegawa kit is absolutely awesome, btw.
  20. Belly of the dragon Decals are flat coated and misted over with light grey to bring down the saturation.
