    Shouldn't there also be the live-size walking Gundam for the 40th anniversary?

    I primed everything with a mix of 16 parts sky grey, 2 flat green and 4 field green to get rid of the blue plastic color, then used a mix of 8 white, 3 sky get and 1 flat green as a highlight color (all Tamiya acrylics) The original plan was to build the Hase fighter (which is all prepped) in parallel, but I think I need something different in between.

    Here's the Master File's take on the issue:

    Always nice to see your work on these vintage birds, Hervé.

    I probably liked it a bit more than Jeremy, but I also share his main point of critique (Spoiler Warning, also for The Witch!)

    Looks like a more current setting vs. the vintage style of the animation. Personally, I'm much more forgiving when it comes to dialogue and character interaction in animated films. A one-for-one adaption could be quite awkward in this case.

    If there ever is a HD remake of AC3, I'd be the first one to jump onto the latest generation gaming hardware. That game was so cool on so many levels, from the aircraft designs to the story lines to the characters to the music. And the best part was that you had to put together this giant puzzle by yourself in the stone age of the interweb.

    IIRC, Wave started as a garage kit maker, and always had a more basic, anime style approach for their Macross kits (see their 1/100 Valks & Battroids), which works well if you don't hold them up against the hyperreal Hasegawa products, that come from an entirely different background. Unfortunately, Wave also carried over their pricing policy from the GK market, but then again, their kits cover a niche segment. And as bad as Bandai delivered on the VF-1, their Delta and Frontier kits come pretty close to the Hase offerings in terms of surface detail.

    The new nose lineart looks much better already! Do you think it would be possible to have a larger chamfer on the lower arms to make them appear less blocky?

    Man, while it hurts to see the disorder, I'm glad there was no greater damage! I actually remember an earthquake in my region in the 90s, happens every 200 years or so, I'm not keen on going through such an experience again. On top of the shock, a picture came down from the wall and smashed my precious AMT Speeder Bike kit. - Got things done today. A parting shot before this goes under the back of the Battroid: A couple of minutes and a handful of swearing later:

    Sounds like Area 88 to me.

    I just came up with my personal imaginary ending shot and all is well.

    Just back from seeing it. Toni Collette gave the performance of her life, and the kids were pretty intense, too. Awesome cinematography & sound design give the movie an artsy atmosphere, but at the same time it feels very real in the way the characters are presented. So I was glued to the screen and followed the slow, huge buildup, only to be let down by the ending. It's less about how it ended, but more how it was done, way too over the top & on the nose for my taste.

    Note that there is a slightly cheaper Modeler's Edition that even comes with a gold plated canopy: http://www.taghobby.com/archives/288324 The regular edition has the red markings pre-painted.

    Bandai's large Builder's Parts hands are pretty big. https://hlj.com/product/BAN977921

    Just dropping the news for the modelers here that Moebius/Pegasus Models are developing a 1/8 kit of the 2001 EVA Pod

    Our favorite replicant goes from La-La Land to The Moon! I like this trailer & hope the movie will bring back a bit of NASA's glory.

    Hm, I dare say that things were running pretty smooth for Star Wars until TLJ: TFA was massively hyped and gathered a new generation of fans, the actors were fine, the movie was fairly entertaining until you take a closer look, and it made tons of money - a pretty good place to start from. R1 brought a grittier, more mature perspective on Star Wars, again great visuals & acting, and Gareth Edwards was able to capture the spirit of a Star Wars movie, which IMO always relied heavily on nostalgia. And then came TLJ with it's multi-dimensional f#-ups, and all of a sudden Star Wars is toxic. Stay tuned for Episode IX: The last Hope

    I remember them being pretty small and not really doing the original designs justice. I saw a stunning illustration by Mamoru Ito in a How-to marker book back then without knowing it has anything to do with Gundam.
