  1. Yeah, pasting new nacelles on top of the legs to fill in the gaps is the cheap and lazy way to "fix" the DX VF-25, rather than actually making the legs fit right in fighter mode...
  2. I've don't recall hearing about that--is there a pic anywhere out there of it?
  3. You ask that 8 years after the thread was started?
  4. Yup, they're in amazing condition: http://www.airplane-pictures.net/image123028.html
  5. Re: previous 3 posts. WTF people, massive spoilers there. I had intentionally NOT looked at the trophy list because they said there's some big spoilers in there--but they're even bigger than I imagined.
  6. Haven't seen good pics of Libyan Mirages in years. It helps when they defect:
  7. Meh, it's an H-tank, not a tank. IMHO. I want 2 big treads that are integral to the body. Not 4 mini-treads plugged into the sides.
  8. I still have that poster on my wall.
  9. IMHO it fell into the same trap as most SW stuff---more homage than original thought. It followed too many things too closely. They weren't homages, they were flat-out copies.
  10. Will I have to leave the camera in the car?
  11. If I ever get out to the LA area, seeing the one remaining F-20 is at the top of my list of things to do.
  12. Big points for making it actually look like a *lion* and not just a generic big cat. Heck, half the Voltron stuff I see looks more like wolves or something.
  13. My vote goes to Gillian Anderson.
  14. If they'd have picked the YF-23 back when, the F136 would already be in-service...
  15. There ya go. PS--Miho is beating out Sally in M7? Surprising.
  16. Why not use your mod-powers and rectify the situation?
  17. Yup. Boeing likes raked wingtips-----the 764, 772LR, 773ER, 787, and 748 all have them instead of winglets. Boeing hasn't designed a plane with winglets since 1989. (though newer 737s almost all have them now, they are not part of the original 737NG design). Generally--they'll retrofit a winglet, but if starting from scratch they want to rake the tip. I figure it also can't be added later, or they'd have used the 764's tips to retrofit 762's and 763's.
  18. It's been a long time since I've seen an actual Skystriker--going from memory, I think many 1/48 decals would work?
  19. Gray and orange are kind of odd for house colors, but here's the first pax 747-800: (I refuse to call it 747-
  20. I posted that like, 10 posts ago--it's still on this page. Anyways---seems Takara's next 2 "Masterpiece Movie" figs will be Leader Sentinel Prime and Ironhide. Hmmmn. Price vs paint will certainly be a figure for which version to buy.
  21. It was obvious months ago they were going with "iconic art on box" Bastila, not "how she actually looks". I think that's mainly to placate the non-gaming fans, who have likely only ever seen that one pic that's always shown of her. I too much prefer the orangey-coral-pink version. (it's hard to describe that color)
  22. That struck me in the first second they showed it. Sure, she's probably learned a lot from Anakin---but Anakin can build working starships and droids from scrap...
  23. It's a Bioware game, so you know how the dialogue tree/choices work. Combat is more old-school quasi-turn driven, akin to KOTOR.
