And a less sickly-green hue to the too-pale tan... And white gear and bays, not pink.

Ditch half the missiles, and use that money for the printing/paint...

I'd say having a lion AND a tiger is a bit redundant, but then I remembered I'm a huge Predacons/Predaking fan...

Still missing the grey intake stripes. (yeesh, they're MOLDED in, just paint them!)

Just passed that part in the podcast---in addition to what's in the post above, they mention it used a kind of ray to do what it does, and that it is swappable. I expect/hope that some packs are more directly combat-oriented. My guess is that each(or at least some) VF-31's will have a "signature" pod that is usually installed. They can all likely use all of them, but maybe each pilot will have a preferred couple ones to use.

Arcadia 1/60 Perfect Transformation VF-0D for 2015
David Hingtgen replied to Dark_Ghost's topic in Toys
I may have asked this before but a search didn't bring anything up: Are there any cool schemes in the Master File book? Either -0D or -0C? I know of a low-vis grey one, but that's it. Are there more? (thinking about a potential future repaint or remold release) -

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2
David Hingtgen replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
70? Better have working landing gear bays/doors for that much. Could be worth it, but unlikely. I haven't seen decent Hotwheels diecast since their Ferrari 360. -
STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2
David Hingtgen replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
So, what are the best blue-squadron X-Wings out there? (Don't want Poe's). Do ANY of the smaller ones not have crooked laser cannons? I generally like diecast models a ton, but skinny bits like that are always plastic which just ruins the look. Saw the worst one ever today, it was bent like 70 degrees, surprised it was still intact. Any new/neat X-Wing stuff coming from Hasbro? (I figure a new UCS from Lego is a shoe-in, just maybe not this year). -

Or they could be doing like Voltron/GoLion, with minimal color-matching. Keith/Blue/Red lion Sven/Black/Blue lion Lance/Red/Black lion And I'd even argue: Hunk/Orange/Yellow lion.- 2715 replies

Yes, the Tamiya kit is still one of the best F-14 kits ever. -

Max could so pull it off though, the designs we've seen so far are not THAT far a stretch from his M7 captain's uniform. I mean, he's already got his fringed cape....- 2715 replies

1:48 F-14A Tomcat - Macross Zero - Shin Kudo custom
David Hingtgen replied to spanner's topic in Model kits
From looking closely at the real ones---I believe the A's and B's had them removed and sealed over. The D's simply never had them. How to tell? A's and B's have a bunch of putty/bondo covering where they were/should be---the D's have nice sheet metal with no evidence of a moving panel etc. Unless there's a new version with massive corrections, the Trumpeter kit is the least-accurate Tomcat model for overall shape, etc. They missed a key point, and it looks like a MiG-25 or F-15 from head-on for it: They made the intakes straight up and down, tight to the fuselage. Which goes against the splayed gull-winged effect the entire F-14 airframe has. Real F-14: Trumpeter F-14: I don't know how the rest of the kit even "works", with an overall shape that wrong--it must mean the gear bays and wing gloves are wrong too, if they "fit" with vertical intakes. -
Having just seen it, unless he saw a very different film than I, I think he's trolling us. So don't worry about spoilers.

This was Harrison Ford's best acting in years, amazed and glad it happened in this. Boyega and Ridley did great. Isaac did too, but if you've seen him in anything else before you already know he's really good. There is one problem with so much realism (sets, ships, etc)-----the CGI *really* stands out against it. Like "the big aliens" and pretty much any alien with a speaking role. Would have rather seen good prosthetics or puppets. ESB Yoda is still the most real-looking alien in the series. (Excluding Chewie of course). Due to demand, my theater expanded showings to use 11 of the 20 screens tonight simultaneously.

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
David Hingtgen replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Well, the MD-95's whole factory is gone, so it's a lost cause. 757 however, shares a decent amount of tooling with the 737 and some parts with the 767... -

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
David Hingtgen replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Meanwhile, the 757 is in such high demand I believe there are zero for sale or lease right now, and 717's go to the highest bidder, and even major flagship carriers are fighting amongst themselves to grab every one that pops up. But Boeing thought that new 737 variants could replace everything (especially a Douglas design) and cancelled both too early. My god, the sales a re-engined 757MAX would get right now... The A321 is selling like bonkers the last few years not because it's a great plane, but because it's the closest thing to a 757 you can get. AA and DL would buy a bunch of new 757's if they could, but they can't. A321=the inferior 757 rival. Well, now it has no rival, so it's the best-in-class. -

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!
David Hingtgen replied to Keith's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Xenosaga's problem wasn't that it was cut down, it's that they chose to focus on the least-important least-interesting aspects in the space they had left. Heck, Kos-Mos was basically an extended cameo in Episode 2. "let's have the entire game be about Jr and his clones". Ziggy's cell-phone game backstory seemed more interesting than XS Ep 2.- 6756 replies
