I can't wait to see the 'Stupid people" reaction coming out of the theatre with their gap toothed kids. Where was Spaaaaperman diddy? WTH was that, them wasn't sooper heroes! I expect the buffudled reaction of the people who have no idea what they are about to see will be will be as satisfying as the movie.

I agree to some extent, it wouldn't be as plausible whcih is why we added in the last part at the bottom of the spoiler post. Going back and dividing up from there would be more plausible.

Oh jeez, I'm sorry I missed this thread, I'll try to get my order in over the next few days. The sculpts look great and these are a sorely needed fig for Macross modellers. I too look forward to your destroid pilots if you decide to do them.

I'll believe it when I see it. I guess it's par for the course in the course of a recession / depression but I hate seeing entry / mid level enthusiast cars getting eliminated or weeded out because they aren't practical enough. It's painful to look at the really neat concept vehicles and know that there is no way they will ever be built and companies like Toyota poo-pooing things like the Supra that has a loyal following but certainly is a niche market car. Those fun cars are what keep people from thinking about cars like stupid appliances, so we aren't all driving around refrigerators on wheels.

A friend of mine's GF may has come up with what I see as a pretty plausible ending for the show. I think it fits so well I am gonna put spoiler tags on it for those interested. We have been talking about the show for months at least twice a week. She thinks: I think that aside from the fine details her idea fits so well with the show that it will likely turn out to be pretty close to spot on.

And to the subject of foreplay, I'd say that the Cylons without Ressurection tech are not interested in a frontal assault either. They haven't discussed the status of Galactica's weapon stores in a while but I'd imagine that Adama has at least one nuke stashed away for a rainey day, that combined with the cornered animal effect, if the humans have lost hope and are confronted with a "Final Battle" many of them would happily Kamikaze on the enemy to die a glorious death instead of starving to death in cold bleak outer space. I think someone said, 'Ramming Speed" in a previous post. Hell, the Galactica is in such bad shape and Adama seems to be a bit of a mess after shouldering the burden of protecting the human race for the run of the show, I could see him Ramming Galactica down their throats as a final mission for the ship. Who knows, it sure doesn't look like we are headed for a happy ending though.

Probably so that Boomer could infiltrate and get Hera. If the Cylons could track the fleet by an abnormal radiation signature put off by the tillium ship, I have no doubt that they have the capacity to track an injured Basestar anywhere in the galaxy.

In for Glaug, possibly two if it would make the difference between a run making it or not, it's not like I'd have a hard time finding a buyer for a spare I didn't need within a short period of shopping it around.

I want it!

Does someone know something I don't? Has madCatz suddenly started putting out quality products? A couple years ago I'd have rather had my junk bitten off by a rabid wolverine than purchase any peripheral made by Madcatz, 175 bucks for a used arcade stick?

I watched the premiere episode. After Firefly, Whedon will have to pull an M. Night to get me to completely give up. That being said the show didn't really "pop" to me, I'll watch more, there is room for some neat story development, and he definitely knows how to make characters likeable and interesting, so I hope that the fact that his main character is going to spend a lot of time not being herself doesn't detract from her likability. Anyhow, I didn't think it was bad, so I'll give it a shot.

Then Baltar can be the one to end John and will end up being the saviour of humanity in the end ~edit! Better yet he can be physically controlled by the vision of 6 and be the hand of God / Son of God being struck down while landing the killing blow on John/Cavill

You are probably going to get a ton of different responses, everybody I kow has their own preferences and techniques. Personally I came back to model building after a long stint of miniature painting for RPG's tactical board games like Warhammer 40k. I prime everything, and I use (let the gasps ensue) Krylon primers for metal and plastic. They are cheap, they work well and I find that priming gives me a more consistent result and helps me find problem areas and imperfections before I am working with final colors. Priming takes patience though because if you do it wrong you lose surface detail on your kits, thin coats, less is more, you are just trying to get a nice smooth surface with good paint adhesion properties, not cake the thing in cheese. Anyhow, I use a wide range of different paints. i primarily use water based acrylics, Vallejo, Polly S, Testors water based, I also use quite a bit of Tamiya because they have a fantastic range of military colors that the competition doesn't do quite as well in my opinion. Using water based acrylics I clear coat pretty much every finished kit, Depending on the size of the kit I will use either a Testors flat clear that i can run through my air-brush or (gasp again) Krylon rattle can flat clear.

Here is my guess. no clue what will really end up happening though.

Clearly all the horsepower blew the chains right off the rear (Drive) wheels.

I like the magnum revolver alot

We never got to see pictures but I had envisioned more of a pistol version of the Metalstorm cannon. Caseless preloaded barrels, I'm not sure if that was in the thread or my brain was trying to wrap around what kind of cool mosterous device the Cap'n had devised.

Can't help with the money angle because quality and small runs like this aren't cheap. For the quality of product John has been turning out, these kits have been I have yet to feel any buyer's remorse and I have picked up a couple of each of the kits he has done so far. On the modelling skills end of things, you shouldn't be too intimidated. Cap'n's kits are among the best resin kits I've dealt with, you just need to be a little patient and take your time on initial clean up, for the most part he makes sure that the pour marks are on places where the kit is assembled so even if you do screw up a little on the pour stubs it isn't visible on the finished kit. Get a couple cheap plastic model kits and put them together for practice if they come out OK you'll be able to handle these. I have to tell you that while I was in love with the Yamato Valks, I have much more attachment to and care more for the Moscato Macross kits in my display case.....because I built them. It's that little somethign extra that makes them special.

I just finished Chains of Olympus for the second time last night. Thanks for posting that teaser, it sent a shiver down my spine

I banked cash for this the first time you mentioned it. I hope to have enough set aside for 2 or 3 kits. I am very, very ,very excited about this kit.

I'm glad I stuck with the thread before posting. I rank Visitor Q as my number one, screwed up asian cinema film, I'll watch anything Miike does. In fact I have collected a great number of his movies. Happiness of the Katakuris is a pretty funny weird movie, a musical about a family of serial kilelrs that own a hotel. Ichi the Killer, most people have seen or heard about this one. If you want a near David Lynch mind trip check out Izo, or Gozu for that matter. His recent US release of Samurai Django was a rpetty fun movie, pretty tame for a Miike flick though.

Valve + FPS + Zombies + Multiplayer = Win Period. I pre-ordered it through steam a couple weeks ago. I don't know if any of you guys played They Hunger the Half Life mod a couple years ago but this game has been a long time coming.

I was sold on GHWT when I saw that they had included 3 Tool tracks. I was and continue to be shocked at how hard you have to wail on the drums for the bonus notes, I assume they were designed to take the abuse but you really have to crank them pretty good. I played some Rock Band 1, have not tried RB 2, I like the new Guitar Hero guitar controllers better than I like the RB guitar, but I am probably biased by the year + of Guitar Hero controller use I had behind me.

Kinda gives new meaing to "May the Force be with you" I have several options if a good aprty presents itself this year. I was considering somehow merging Zombie with Stormtrooper, that armor is such a pain in the ass (literally) that zombieing it up might actually make it more fun to wear It's a cheap old FX suit anyhow so I' won't be doing any sort of grave injustice to a piece of movie history or anything. If I get some time to do it and a little more motivation maybe I'll post it up on the RPF.
