  1. So it's a documentary on anime made by Netflix that essentially becomes a commercial for anime on Netflix?
  2. As epic as it is, Akira is hard to beat as a manga for me. I still re-ead it every couple of years. Appleseed is an honorable mention. As far anime goes, there are just too many favorites for me. Off the top of my head, there's Kimagure Orange Road, Zillion, and pretty much anything Artmic got involved with.
  3. M'kyuun, thanks for kind words. I was afraid the Jayhawk would be too delicate to play around with, but it has definite swooshibility. BrickDesigners have some clean designs, I'll probably pick up their Augusta 109 chopper plans in the future. I'm digging their Humvee selection as well. I love what Brickmania does and what they focus on, but yeah, their pricing is off the charts. Once I save up for it, I would like to get one of their Pave Low CH-53s. The one thing I am saving up for though is the Avro Lancaster kit from Plane Bricks. All they have are airplanes and their Lancaster is a great piece of work. There is also an Etsy vendor, Kurt's MOCs, that sells aircraft instructions that border on titanic scales, like a minifig scaled B-52 or C-130. I bought his AC-130 plans on a lark just to play around with on LDD.
  4. Thanks, guys! Yeah the design makes a convincing looking Jayhawk. All I changed was adding a rear plate on the elevator to make it solid and reduced the main rotor height by about half an inch. I also added multi colored pieces for the rotor tips. And David, yes it did come with stickers. While I bought the plans from Ebay, the creator's website is BrickDesigners. Attached are pics with the flight crew for scale. *Flight crew not included ☺
  5. Check out this build I did from a design I bought. It came with digital instructions, a parts list, and stickers to dress it up. I had a lot of fun building this thing, and the parts were not of a rare lot, so the total price for parts was just under $100.
  6. Tiny is good for future Tread endeavours. I just shudder thinking of what price Sentinel might ask for a Tread.
  7. Glorious. Genesis breakers...eenteresting.
  8. Pang's Models and Hobbies out of Illinois carries DeAgostini.
  9. It's a great looking Unicron, no doubt. I'm just not a big enough fan. I have the Amazon Armada Unicron from a few years ago, and that does it for me.
  10. I like the biplane just chillin in the corner. Are those Tomcats the ones from Hachette?
  11. Time for some necromancy. Just a heads up: remember how Hobby Master was getting on board with Sukhois? They've released a few Flankers already, even their superb Su-34, but the latest one is going to be the Russian Naval Su-33! Also coming the pipe will be their first MiG-29.
  12. KATO, of all companies, is now doing Patlabor. Of course this means a much smaller scale than what we're used to, but the craftmanship will be superb.
  13. I finally saw Godzilla 3, the conclusion of the series. Ghidorah and Mothra were nothing but a big tease. Not much giant monster action either, and it ends on a somber note. Definitely not my cup of tea as far as Godzilla goes.
  14. As soon as you stop molesting our moo-cows!
  15. This may sound weird but I sometimes prefer the heavier appearance compared to a MS getting a slender, "Katoki'd" look. For the NT-1 2.0, I'm glad they went with the stockier look.
  16. Dang, I didn't think Bandai would release that big Nu. That thing is nuts. I may just skip their 1/48 valks and save the funds for this.
  17. Nothing confirmed, but no new RD labors have been announced. I was really looking forward to the transporter trucks being released.
  18. Hound has a lot of faith in that tonneau cover to block blaster shots.
  19. As I'm building this thing, I'm not liking how I seem to be constructing parts from all over the ship and spiraling inwards. I just don't like have parts hanging around and having to wait until I attach it to something else. And gluing together a 1/350 space fighter was a real test of patience for me. Regardless, I'm having fun putting this beast together-it's gonna be great!
  20. I reckon later issues will involve bigger pieces as you go? And yeah, at those prices I can live without those other fighters. Well I finally have some time off, and so it begins...
