    The gold stickers are fine, but anything with white/crest---the excess clear is massive, and stands out very badly.

    You should see Ant-Man first. It's better and more fun. Also frankly advances the "over-arching Marvel movie universe plot" more, IMHO.
  3. David Hingtgen
    Heck, Quantron even without all its tweaks/fixes, seems to be far better than the VF-2SS turned out. Guardia should be another level better than that...

    With how much CGI hair has advanced in the past few years---absolutely. And in reply to kajnrig---yes, the dialogue did seem below-par, and "TV movie"-ish.

    The grey Super pack looks so nice in matte, I'm tempted to flat-coat my glossy grey Ozma -29. But since the main body involves moving parts, I worry about it chipping off. (Whereas armor parts and super packs don't really move/transform much)

    Oh come on, THAT's the first flightsuit Mirage we get?

    This movie is SO much better than Last Stand (and The Wolverine), it's inconceivable it's being compared to it in any way.
  8. David Hingtgen
    Did you remove/mask the nozzles before flat-coating the armor?
  9. David Hingtgen
    Ouch, first I've heard of being broken that "early".
  10. David Hingtgen
    I sanded down the tabs a bit first thing when I got my armor set. Heard many tales of broken tabs.

    Because a non-stickered black Sideswipe is then the uber-rare black Diaclone version, not G2. G2 is defined by neon colors.
  12. David Hingtgen
    Put them on. Or use Reprolabels' version. G2 Sideswipe MUST have neon green stickers all over.

    "Fatigues" Mirage for display next to Elysion, Flightsuit Mirage for next to her valk.

    Am I nuts or does the Super Hornet have an unusual number of mid-air collisions? Another pair was just lost from VFA-211. All crew OK, thankfully.
  15. David Hingtgen
    The pessimist in me says it's molded almost entirely clear, with a lot of clear-blue-paint carefully applied for the display. Note the blue areas look a but more metallic and opaque.

    The Gripen E unveil is so similar, but so much better: As for the F-15 vid---for trying to entice multi-billion dollar contracts, they could at least get the CG model right---it has both the larger E-style tailhook, AND the original early 70's tailhook fairing. I don't think those two things can exist simultaneously, and the latter hasn't been around for a while...

    No Mirage? Pass.

    I was just coming to post that, I had a "fridge moment"---"wait a second...."

    Smaller hinges would help more than painted hinges, IMHO.

    Well, the Yellow 13 kit definitely has "ASU-DECA" decals, despite me looking all over for something that matched the example pics. Made one slice with an X-acto and thought "that's odd"...

    At this point in Frontier, it already had a greater number of good, memorable songs. Quality vs quantity. So far Delta is definitely aiming for the latter.
  22. David Hingtgen
    I still remember the cries of "nah, the CG is just too skinny, Kawamori intended them to be bulkier--the DX is the REAL way the -25 is supposed to look" from all the Bandai-defenders on the board, when we saw the V1.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Have we seen a renewal since the first time? The VF-27 only barely counts because it came out just before the renewal -25, then later ones got new hips based on it. It was far from the total redesign the -25 got. It's a version 1.5 at best. The -171, -29, and -30, all have just the one mold. It's not like there's a long history of renewals in the Frontier/Delta era. There's one (the -25), and one "tweak".(the -27) That's it exactly, from what we've seen so far. It can "beam" energy to them when they run out.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Someone here mentioned early on that Messer was likely to get Var, and possibly end up killing one of the leads etc. The Var point certainly came true, and I realized an Ep or two ago----if anyone dies in this show, I think it'll be Mirage. Putting the two together....
  25. David Hingtgen
    We did need more business-suit Grace... (But yeah, I agree, lots of similarities, possibly even similar goals/motivations)
