  1. The kit is molded in bronze, so it looks pretty cool even if you assemble it without paint. Hobby Japan recently had an article on the original garage kit, which marked the start of Kaiyodo as a major player in the GK field.
  2. Actually, the ARTPLA Ingram is a completely new digital sculpt, and it's one of the best quality mecha kits I've build; easily on the level of today's Tamiya kits. Yes, you have to paint it, but the seamless parts breakdown makes even that an uncomplicated affair.
  3. "Stay out of trouble!"
  4. It would be a smart move if Bandai re-released it's 1/35 IXTL kit in the near future...
  5. One of the next ARTPLA releases seems to be a set of figures.
  6. Embraer E195-E2 E190-E2 E175-E2
  7. Alien: Earth wrapped filming and started the post-production process. Set 30 years before "Alien", it deals with the origins of Weyland-Yutani and the creation of artificial life, with the Androids as a first step. "It's the story of humanity trapped between its primordial parasitic past and its AI future and they're both trying to kill us so there's nowhere to go" Nostromo seems to exist already.
  8. Tamiya Weathering Master makeup in effect.
  9. Listening to Kenji Kawai's "IXTL" while modeling is the greatest experience. @MechTech that's Kaiyodo's 1/35 ARTPLA kit. I'm really glad I waited 25 years before building a Reactive Armor Ingram.
  10. Really makes you wonder why they keep running into the same wall & not see the writing on it... Here's something I stumbled upon re. Andor's numbers:
  11. I don't care for the space witches or space whales, but IMO the true bane is Feloni continuing the George Lucas School Of Lazy Writing that might work a little better in a comic, cartoon or animation, but riddles the features with human actors with cringe moments. Admittedly, it must be hard for the writers to do some serious work when you have to tick all those boxes first: https://numidianprime.wordpress.com/2024/07/17/the-acolyte-continuity-breakdown/
  12. Final episode was the best for me. Great visuals & production design, great Qimir x Sol fight, but my favorite scene was this dialogue: Then of course, a lot of the potential of the show was obliterated by the bad writing that seems to be a trademark of the franchise since ROTJ. So far, only Tony Gilroy & his team seem to have mastered the art to move a plot forward without terrible contortions and to create characters that are interesting even if you hate them.
  13. In the still, the "asteroid" looks indeed like an alien artefact...
