    Yup. Regardless of the whole "year 0" issue, nobody would say 1920 isn't part of the 20's, or that 1930 is. "The 90's" was 1990-1999. The current decade is thus 2000-2009, regardless of any mathematical issues deriving from "the very first recorded year".

    Yeah, VF-2 simply rocked during that era. They flew their full-colors CAG bird at low altitude into combat as much as they could, just to be defiant and say "F you" to the opposition. (VFA-105 did the same) Their CAG plane ended up with the highest tally of the squadron. Also, they were the first (and possibly only) squadron to load their TARPS planes with bombs (and they used them). Not much fits when you're carrying a TARPS pod, but they squeezed a few on.

    The prototype pic is just plain wrong in some areas---the chest isn't grey, it's green like everywhere else. Still, very hard to tell shadows from paint variations in this shot. I gotta go check Ep 25 again, and the first appearance of the green ones as soon as I figure out which ep that was (maybe 13?). This pic is as lightened and brightened as I can without royally screwing up the colors etc.

    Nosegear door bump goes with the "ahead of the glove vane" bump. If one's gone, both are. If one's present, they both are. No glove vane bump on that one, so no nosegear door bump. Anyways, I'd bet money that's 162702. http://www.almansur.com/jollyrogers/haynesf14atr.jpg As for me, I consider "gun vents" the most important detail an F-14 model can have, short of being an A/B/D.

    VF-27β http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-116224-1-1.html Is HLJ's description updated from before? http://hlj.com/product/BAN961937 Darn it, I'm can't preorder it because I may go with the DX instead. PS---they really should have used a pic of her in her flightsuit, not her "Sheryl's manager" outfit.

    1/72 VF-25 gear part diameter: Nose wheel, 5mm Nose tires, 7mm Main wheel, 6mm Main tire, 8.5mm (the tires are very thin, only a little bigger than the wheel)

    Darn it, already 3 replies about Nicky. And man, looking back at one of Gubaba's earlier comments...
  8. David Hingtgen
    Not an exclusive. In fact, I've only ever seen that one at Wal-Mart.
  9. David Hingtgen
    Ack, Dobber replied before I changed my post---had to spoiler it, sorry.

    Gubaba---she's simply Apollo's "head-Starbuck". Hey, everyone else has a personal hallucination to keep them company, he should too! Also, don't miss on how very little the camera had to pan over to be able to zoom back in to Earth.
  11. David Hingtgen
    Gubaba---I said your opinion of Tigh should be finalized by the end of Season 3. Well? His "that's the man I'll be" line is probably my fave in the series. PS---and for "things to think about"----how incredibly ironic it is that he killed Ellen because she was frakking a cylon.
  12. David Hingtgen
    Have you seen the video? It's like US MP Starscream all over again. Caught fire then flew through a coal mine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxVad0O1I0s...player_embedded
  13. David Hingtgen
    I'll just wait until you finish Part 2 before saying anything. Too easy to spoil.
  14. David Hingtgen
    "Why would god need a battlestar?"
  15. David Hingtgen
    Yup, new ep. PM me for a link.
  16. David Hingtgen
    No clear parts at all on Grace's? I'm going to have to go snag more screen caps to compare to... (there's definitely some fairly bright green parts in that area but they may be striping)
  17. David Hingtgen
    Don't tell me that "thewhitedrewcarey" was already taken...
  18. David Hingtgen
    Anyone seen "Synergy green", the awesome new color for the Camaro? Well they just announced it'll be V6-only. And only for the non-RS models. Maybe they'll make Polo Green available for the SS model.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Yeah but she'd need a blue-purple wig, too. And a "hacking into Frontier's computer network" necklace. Still, I was surprised at the price too---seemed cheap compared to most other costumes. Grace's costume is neat in that someone probably could wear it to an office, and not really attract any attention (unless a Frontier fan worked there).
  20. David Hingtgen
    Yes, Romo Lampkin rocks. But the most important thing is that Racetrack is ok and she didn't get any scars from the explosion. PS---this is one of my fave moments in the series: http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/File:Ada..._b-day_card.jpg

    Hey, Grace costume on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Macross-Frontier%1AGra...121182010r21658
  22. David Hingtgen
    Any time Anakin , it's a good episode. (Season 2 ep 8 spoiler)
  23. David Hingtgen
    Yeah but my name's not in the credits either, and I'm not dead...
  24. David Hingtgen
    Just another quick shout-out that if anyone has a spare head-striping decal for Alto's, I could use it.

    Anyone who's ever built a model feels for that ship, and Adama. When the series was originally aired I often felt like I was the only one who realized just how much effort went into such a thing. (and model ships are probably THE most time-consuming of all, when rigged) (which is why I've never built a model sailing ship---too daunting)
