    Any news/updates?

    Uncut Wing is about 99% the same. Just replace "destroy" with "kill" and add some blood to scenes where it's obvious there should be some. I can't recall any scene more than 0.25 secs long actually being cut entirely. ::edit:: Or go here: http://www.lelola.net/archive/gw/edited.shtml

    Pin doesn't move on early nor fixed hinges, that's part of the problem. (removing the knurling only eliminates the symptoms, it doesn't affect the root cause)

    EXO---I found The Hobbit to be 10x more interesting/fast-paced than LOTR (especially FOTR). Don't know how you thought it was boring.

    I get the feeling we won't see anything new until someone opens one up for the first 'net review. Heck, Yamato still only shows prototype YF-19 pics for Isamu's, not the final... Some companies just never update, and show the samples/photoshops forever.

    I've never seen it done realistically on a model. Even the most award-winning model with the most subtle and skillful tint---still looks like transparent paint over clear plastic--because that's what it is. You can shade it, you can tint it gold---but you won't get "the look" of the real thing.

    At 1/10 scale---radio control?

    Don't even think about putting metalizer over anything but the glossiest/smoothest of surfaces. Polished bare plastic is actually the best IMHO.

    I think the problem was that Yamato over-did it. On real planes, it is not SUPER obvious from EVERY angle. Most of the time the canopies look about "99% clear, 1% tint". Only when the light hits it just right, do you get the rainbow effect, and it's usually subtle. But Yamato did it so there's a rainbow effect almost all the time, and a very strong one. The gold effect and rainbow effect are separate, but often run together. I.E. you rarely see a rainbow with an F-16, but they are very often golden. The F-18 is the opposite--rarely gold, fairly common rainbow. EA-6B is the most golden of all, it USUALLY looks gold, and can look darn near solid orange at time...

    Really, you should watch the first season EXCEPT the final ep. Just imagine how cool the final ep should have been, and be happy. Then never watch any more of it.

    Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe.

    Wow, he sure has his fave actors. It's like Batman Begins---without Batman.

    It'd have to land awfully flat to not scrape the fin... (most real planes with big fins on the underside tend to fold them sideways when landing--that gives more clearance---but with a fin THAT long, it'd poke out as far to the sides as the wings do--not to mention asymmetry problems)

    I was so disappointed in Suikoden 1, for I felt I had a brilliant idea when it asked me what to name my castle---I put in "Vania"----annoyingly, it didn't work out like I thought, and the game listed it as "Vania Castle".
  15. David Hingtgen
    Wow, editing your post to flame the person who next posted after the fact? Hmmn. ::debates warning vs a short ban::

    Death of a format, not a genre. CD's killed cassettes, not music. VHS killed Beta, not recording shows/movies.

    Anything involving Sheryl's career probably involves Grace... (at least a little---the manga's vocal school will probably be indistinguishable from high school though, and focus on little else)
  18. David Hingtgen
    Old tech but awesome---musical Tesla coils. ::edit:: Better vids: Airwolf Theme: Imperial March:

    Speaking of G-Gundam, Rain's pilot suit is pretty similar to Grace's...

    My package showed up today. Just over 1 month, twice as long as normal for SAL.

    Pollyscale's railroad line is my fave line of paint, period. Best white, best yellows, best blacks money can buy. (at least for acrylics) And most importantly---color! Most "military" lines of model paint only offer greys, greyish/navy blues, and camo green. You're lucky to find more than 1 shade of red, orange, yellow in them. Try matching "Alto red", "Milia red" and "Hikaru red" with a military line---all you'll get is "Insignia red" which matches none of them. But a model train line will offer many subtle variations of reds, to allow perfect matches. I personally have SP scarlet, Daylight red, SOO candy apple, ATSF red, caboose red, signal red, and Seaboard chinese red.

    Roy---you skipped 08th MS team?!?!

    You mean you've missed flightsuit Grace all this time? PS to Ruak---did you get the reference pics I emailed? I never heard back.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Just wondering if anyone's heard anything about the release date etc of Grace's? It's been months since the initial announcement.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, I get that Sheryl and Ranka are the main stars---but could we get ONE Grace figure, before the 6th/7th/8th one of those two?
