    http://www.comicsbeat.com/dark-horse-announces-comic-adaptation-of-william-gibsons-alien-3-script/ I read Gibson's script back in the day and found it pretty cool (but not really fitting into the franchise). Unfortunately, the art from DC's adaption looks pretty lame, IMO.

    I want a GP-01 Master Grade 2.0 with the Damashi design! They finally nailed Kawamori's lines.

    Misa's face looks extremely narrow in some of the concept art. I think the figure captures her features pretty well, looking at other pictures.

    …or if they'll be P-Bandai, of course. I have received Digitarian's resin S-Gundam bust (great details!) and will try to fix this on my MG kit.

    Thanks for your comments, Flarpen. The actuators were included with the kit, but I only found out after I finished it that I forgot to put them on. And since I only collected pics of the earlier generation Viggens with the splinter camo (the JAs were painted grey later) I never noticed the navigation lights were in the wrong position. A Draken is in the works btw...

    Yeah, I was concerned about the torsion. The touchdown didn't look bad. The fuselage looks weird, on the real plane, there's only a minimal height difference between the RIO's and the pilot's seat. In the pic, it looks almost like a SU-30.

    The comment section of the F-16 article is pretty hilarious. Also, I wonder if the TUI bird from M'Kyuun's post will be in need of a new landing gear?

    He looks like Viper, it's natural progression.

    I have the feeling that the second trailer shows a bit too much of the movie, but I'll still see it.

    It would have worked out even better (IMO) with the Knights of Ren as Vader cultists setting out to discover the Power of the Dark Side, training themselves, and doing horrible things on that course (like killing their fellow students under the guidance of Kylo).

    Back in the age where you couldn't binge watch a whole trilogy, there was a three year span between Empire and Jedi where Boba Fett was the coolest character right after Vader. I felt massively let down by the Sarlacc scene. I seem to remember that it was explicitly stated that the Red Guys were not the KoR.

    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.

    Fighter 1 at Shizuoka It looks kinda pointy & too straight from this perspective IMO.

    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.

    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

    Let's not forget that the previous movies wouldn't be less craptastic with better looking transformers...

    It gets even better in russian!

    Great to see another Fujita design come to plamo!

    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)[

    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.

    Just wait until the orbital laser kicks in...

    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.

    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.
