    I've only seen a few life-size papercraft figures before (and they weren't anime, though I figure anime characters are probably the most popular)----but I'll definitely second (third?) a flight-suit Mirage. Oddly, papercraft seems to be a skill I've lost over time---I was better when I was younger! Or maybe I just THINK I was, and I had lower standards or something. But I had done several kits "well enough that I was happy with the results" when I was like 10, but I've never really done anything since then, that I felt was to a high stadnard.

    With the red being that deep a shade as a base layer----someone should do a Mirage-colored one.

    If you can put together the SHE YF-19, I think that'll be plenty enough experience to handle a weapons pod.

    "Preorder now or forever hold your peace". Chuck's is going to be THE hard one to get, long term, IMHO, due to likely having the smallest production run.* *of the main characters. 31A's are their own thing.

    One of the earliest "4P" parts, was a replacement face for Protector. I highly recommend it.

    Le Hornette will last forever! CF-188A+++ in 2040! Or maybe buy some F-16A MLU's from somebody by then...
  7. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, the side-covers may be the best option. Replacing the main backplate will be difficult.

    Just FYI if you're unaware, it may be helpful in the future---but "one click down at mid-thigh, then one click the other way at the knee" is standard for almost every valkyrie ever when any sort of leg-armor is attached, not just the -19. And the YF-29 does it like that even when it's "naked".
  9. David Hingtgen
    Yup, that's mission 8. Still my least fave.

    Comparison pic via TrekYards: That's how I see the Discovery Enterprise, and "color-wise" it works incredibly well to be "between" ENT and TOS. But the Eaglemoss model just doesn't look like that, even trying to account for "awesome dark nebula cloud lighting" etc.

    Anyone else think the Discovery 1701 looks too pale/grey/matte? "Season 1 finale" I thought it looked rather NX-01 ish, in having like a darker, metallic hull. But the model is pretty much just "dull pale grey", almost primer-colored. Pretty boring, and disappointing (since I REALLY like the design, and thought we might be getting like a gunmetal-ish 1701 or something).

    Anyone have the XL Reliant? Seems to be the best XL I think, and am tempted. (What I REALLY want is an XL Nebula, with non-crooked pylons)
  13. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, it does seem to try to target "not the thing dead-center in the screen that you're heading towards". I've noticed that too. And yes, I find myself changing my view half the time I try flares. As mentioned---the d-pad is empty, it'd be put to much better use for weapon select, flares, primary vs secondary target selection, etc.

    Mission 8 sucks. Haven't done MP yet. So far, missions are a tier down from 4/5/0, story and music are way down from 4/5/0. Technically, the game is good/well-designed, but there's no "heart" to it.
  15. David Hingtgen
    That shouldn't really be much of a debate. Coolest fighter ever, or---the Raptor.
  16. David Hingtgen
    I thought it included missions. But overall----I think never has a game released, with such little clarity on exactly what you're getting, for most versions. How many times has it gone back and forth on if it's a raw port of AC5, a full re-do, or something inbetween? (currently I think it's the latter).

    After reviewing what comes with what for the final time, I just preordered the digital deluxe PS4 edition. Hope I don't regret it. PS----the dynamic theme sucks.

    A-10C would make an interesting comparison to add to the chart, as would the F-15I/S/K. Gotta add the F-16 Block 60, too. I'm betting its avionics alone cost as much as a whole Block 5 did...

    The "Ant-Man and the Wasp" part was the one that stuck out the most to me, by far. And yeah, I wondered where Mera's legs were in the not-jellyfish dress. It didn't seem long enough to hide them, and I doubt she had them "tucked up inside, like a fetal-position-thing going on". Anyways---it's nothing less than awesome that I went to two movies in two weeks, that both had Dolph Lundgren in them.

    F-35 thinks it's an F-22: This bodes well for the new demo routine this year.
  21. David Hingtgen
    There's zero chance of the PAK-FA not being a "shining star" in the game----it was the Uber-plane in "Infinity", even more than the F-22.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Air-to-Air missiles usually have fairly unique rails/adapters for each plane. But anything else is pretty universal.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Bounty Hunters D-model, nice. And NACA ducts on the same side of the ventral fins, props for getting that right. (But modelers have the best eye for things like that).
  24. David Hingtgen
    Sorry for the late reply. Interesting---I didn't know there was a black Mr Surfacer---is is super glossy? (Alclad metallics demand a mirror-like black base). Not surprised at Gaia notes----their metallics and transparents are on another level.

    VRAM, VRAM, VRAM. All I want and need more of, but I'm not seeing any increases this gen.
