    I wonder why they would be worried about it looking similar. It's the same valk. Having it all metallic would have encouraged, if not at least seriously consider buying a new one.

    When? when??? Looks good!

    That shouldn't be a problem. As long as it's even you can cover it in gloss and the paint should even out. Or if it's really bad, use a an automotive scuff pad to take of the layer of matte. Go to a Auto part store, a big art store or sometimes a home depot has them. Or you can even order them online. I use them to repair paint all the time. Don't get the 3M brand, they're too stiff. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Sungold-Abrasives-74402-SunBrite-General/dp/B00HSGOWRQ

    Even if it was a super awesome out of this world great idea... you can't petition a production company to do a storyline that's pretty much that hashed out. The best you can do is send in an unsolicited script. I don't know how it works in Japan exactly but creative types everywhere are not likely fond of people telling them to shove their artistic process aside in favor of a page of signatures. You either come in and work your way up or put up the money to make people listen to you.

    They definitely would prefer something with a face or something to emote with than a tennis ball. Imagine the kids in Jurassic Park acting scared of a giant pillow with dots versus the giant TRex with the eyes that actually adjusts its iris from the light. On the opposite side of it, actors hate wearing costumes that don't let them move. They would prefer to wear a green screen suit than a heavy and motion limiting armor. Unless it's made well and light and not too hot. This more in the sci-fi type movies. Actors love wearing period costumes. Personally I like creatures done well in CG... but that type of graphics is really expensive. Most of the time we get crap even with big budget features. But there's special types of movies like The Thing that I can't imagine them doing with CG. As long as the creature has weight and mass that are believable, I don't really care what method they use. Check out Walking With Dinosaurs Live shows on youtube for incredible live creature effects. One of the main reasons that production companies don't like to use physical effects, sets and props is the turn around time. The budget is looked at on a quarterly basis and the if the pencil pushers don't see a fast return on the company's investments then they see it as a loss. Storing things is also a huge money suck. Big sets, big miniatures sets, costumes and props that just sit there for weeks and then in between movies and especially after principle production is done just hurts the accountant's brain. They can't wait to toss that out into the junkyard if they can't make money from it. These type of guys run Hollywood and every aspect of the business is seen this way. You pretty much have three months to get your crap done or you're getting replaced. Even if you're HR Giger they'll replace you with HR Giger lite with a laptop or an Ipad because even that air in your airbrush cost money. Metal, plastic , glass and rock are the easiest thing to do in 3D... it's always better to go with CG, so Transformers is best done that way than physical effects unless it's just the car of if an actor is interacting with a hand or something. Pacific Rim has top notch effects, especially the kaijus. Someone told me that it was ignored by the awards show in the FX department because robots are easy to do but they overlooked everything else. Gravity was innovative in the way it was shot but as far as effects it used a lot of standard methods.

    With the new series coming, I'm hoping Arcadia gets the Frontier license. Hopefully I've been holding out for something even better, even though bandai have improved since their first run of 1/60s.

    I can see Hammil as an old jedi more than I can see Harrison Ford running around with the pew pew. And Carrie Fisher... let's just say I wish Marion stayed the way I remembered her in the original Raiders. Hopefully they'll just be Owen and Beruing it in the kitchen for the movies.

    I'm with the bulky hands/arms also. And tampo of the basic makings like the kite and numbers just like Yamato did with the first V.2. Decals for people that really want all the extras such as the "NO STEP". Extra figures and accessories for display like a bridge bunny with their station. I don't really care for removable panels. I would rather have them apply a great paint job with all the panel lines applied. If there was any gimmicky thing I would like it'd be lights in the cockpit and boosters and a launch arm display stand. It can stand on it's side or ready for wall mounting.

    Time jump for Fargo??? Not sure what to think of that except it worked for the Key and Peele storyline. Also, if you guys didn't catch it... Silicon Valley went from a 5 to an 8 with a solid 9 finale... great comedy for nerds, especially for techie nerds.

    Anyone know of painted version of this? I'd like to post it up.
  17. EXO
    Pretty cool... make sure to enter the contest. There's gonna be some incredible cosplay if it's anything like last year.

    "Where are my dr-- terminatoooors!?!"
  19. EXO
    That's not fair. If you relate anything red and yellow to "McDonald's" then people won't want it. Unless it's a box of chicken nuggets... If anything I'd get the new version... keep the Booster and figures and sell off the Fire Blinger valk...

    Looking good. I was questioning the choice of Destroid Stickers but you pulled it off!

    I can just see Jesse's face when Heisenberg pops up... "Motherf... Are you kidding me??? Give me a break!!!" lol. no thanks! It'll just cheapen it. I'm ready for Saul though...
  23. EXO
    Yeah you have.... naughty naughty girl!
  24. EXO
    I think you need to sell that stuff at MWCon!
  25. EXO
    Looks great but it definitely needs a bit of sanding. Aha! Part of the robo-apocalypse! I knew it!
