  1. Razor sharp as only Hasegawa can deliver.
  2. What happened to all the stealthy angles of the MH-X?
  3. I just stumbled upon this fantastic build of Crusher Joe's Cordoba: https://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/yatasith/GALLERY/show_image.html?id=69646836&no=0 Making of: https://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/yatasith/GALLERY/show_image.html?id=69644831&no=0 Note that this is not the Takara plastic kit, but a fairly large 1/2400 resin kit.
  4. Most likely not, that would add a lot of work for something that is hard to see. I liked the idea, though. – Last night in Sweden:
  5. And I finally put some paint on Batou's Lotus! Wait for the baby blue interior...
  6. Splinter Camo, Baby!
  7. I also thought about building it in muted military colors with a grayish red for the pink.
  8. Great work, weathering and color palette & all! Will you put Ozma in the cockpit later? Once more I feel that the Supers would need a stronger landing gear.
  9. Now comes the difficult part...
  10. The way I took it, it was a matter of timing. Kuze was still completing his network, filling the gaps in his "Ghost" and executing his revenge when Section 9 interfered. He wouldn't need his robot body any more, so why update it. He would also leave his human brain and go completely digital, which is the big leap in this movie, contrary to the source material, where live evolves from code. His plan to evolve once in the network is still plausible, because he would exist in a different realm with different modes of perception.
  11. Hobbysearch has a large boxart pic: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10460298/30/1
  12. ^ I dare to say that the '95 Major would make a pretty bad live action experience. When watching animation or reading comics, we accept a high level of abstraction and stylized characters. I love the Jin-Ro anime movie even more that the GitS movie, but having the same plot & dialogue acted out by human actors would have me cringing all the time. '95 Major would be a hard-ass soldier and executioner who, by her own choice, gave up her human body until only her brain was left. Detached from society, she cuts her faint ties to humanity and merges into the digital realm. Outside of the SF nerd circles, people would have a hard time sympathizing with this character. I fully agree with you that the evil company part and especially the Cutter character is extremely dumb, but the spin of making the Major a victim, struggling to find her place (like Logan in the X-Men movies), is something the movie does right IMO.
  13. Arbit, are you familiar with Dorobou's build of the Nautilus? http://dorobou.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2015-01-13
  14. It's the '92 Volks kit from their Super Spirit Series. It's an original cast, but full of nice surprises. - Hervé, your Ju-88 looks great. Good luck with the Messerschmidt.
  15. Just watched it, it's the Cyberpunk movie I've been waiting for for 30 years. Great visuals, design concepts, cinematography & 80s electronics music. People who complain about the slow pacing probably wouldn't survive Oshii's movie. I would have preferred less explanatory scenes, but those were to be expected. Loved the actors for Section 9, and ScarJ did a great job on the Major.
  16. Aah the smell of freshly sanded resin in the morning...
  17. Still a pretty nonsensical trailer, but the visuals are great, even more so if you read a lot of french SF comics in the 80s.
