    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.

    Ironically, that seems to mirror whatever department at Disney was responsible for greenlighting those Frankenstein Star Wars movies we get now.

    Jeremy brings up the interesting point that Disney Star Wars isn't in a Galaxy far far away anymore: As a bonus, he is able to present his opinion in a civilized manner.

    I miss any references to the Roman Empire, and their display of power. This is where Mussolinin got a lot of ideas from, which then inspired Hitler, in terms of fascist aesthetics, not necessarily ideology. A lot of Eco's theses that are mentioned in the video go back to the military culture of the Romans. Picking up this train of thought leads us to the question - what has the Empire ever done for us?

    You know what to do after making kits of all the Mospeada and second tier Macross designs...

    Idk, that's like saying we don't need any more movies with a historical context because we know how things ended already. _ To the subject of the OT droids, I read a long time ago that Lucas' concept of 3PO and R2 goes back to Freud's superego and id, with 3PO being all about control and restriction (as seen in his arms), while R2 is completely impulse-driven and full of hidden surprises. Naturally, 3PO fails all the time while R2 provides all kinds of helpful solutions, but also gets in trouble regularly.

    What I noticed about the marketing for Solo, it lacked momentum compared to TFA, RO, and even TLJ had at lead one trailer that made me think "Yes, this will be awesome". I don't remember any key visuals released for Solo that could compare to the Star Destroyer buried in sand or the Death Star construction from the previous new movies.

    Seeing all those rivets made me think that the Catseye would look awesome with a natural metal 50s era finish.

    Watch him in the Yorkshire Killer/Red Riding Trilogy. He's actually a really good actor and somewhat wasted in SM.

    I use Tamiya putty only in minimal amounts and switch to polyester putty for anything critical. Mori Mori was the brand of my choice, but it seems to have gone extinct. It's very easy to sand and to feather into the surrounding surfaces. I have something with muted red and some weathering on my mind.

    Frame Arms unit in progress

    Considering that the character was somewhat modeled after Clint Eastwood in his Spaghetti Western days, I can see Fett in a similar concept, walking into a Rebels vs. Empire situation on some backwater world and playing both fractions against each other.

    That might be just because of the dull pose. The overall shape looks more defined than the somewhat soft HGUC. That Monoeye is a tad on the big side, though.

    Does that mean he's dating L3-37?

    I wanted to paint one of these in Frontier colors, then realized how many white pinstripes I'd have to paint, ans decided that it wasn't worth the effort. The mecha collection models are well done kits, but I wish there was a 1/72 option for the 171.

    Frontier is 10 years old already, so it's time for some cannon fodder love

    That sounds good, but it would be mostly repeating the Prequels.

    Watch Phoebe in "Fleabag" and you'll feel better.

    The movie was a much needed kick in the nuts of the SF movie genre. Unfortunately, Blomkamp has yet to surpass it, but I still love his stuff. Does anybody follow his Oats Studios releases?

    I see you built your own Death Star... http://www.taghobby.com/archives/275383

    While not 100% exact to the movie design, the details look better than on Weta's own miniature. I found an earlier iteration of this kit here: https://ifun01.com/BD5K4FH.html

    I hope the Deep Striker was the start of a new Sentinel MG line. See you in October.
