That was one of the classics. as far as modern U.S. greatnes, it all ended too soon. The cancellation of the new thundercats was sad, but at least young justice is supposed to make a comeback, and there's also samurai jack. Maybe there's still hope for the kitties.

What I meant was that the atlas was one of the first designs that wasn't directly from another property, although it's definitely inspired by other things. Sorry for any confusion. Any way it's been a while since I built that awesome scopedog kit. I think I got lazy and only sanded the mold lines and put the waterslide decals on, weathered it with a quick oil wash and flat coated it. I eventually painted the figures though. Really was nothing, but fun.

Atlas was the weird one from battletech after they got sued and had to make their own designs for a change. Any way, that bandai kit really is great out of box with a little weathering. I think the only thing that needed paint was the pilot if I recall.

I'm feeling pretty sad for you. I've never heard of problems like that with the panel accents. Now I'm paranoid about using it. Any chance of doing a battle damaged diorama to rescue the work you already did? and also what's a good source for florys. It's not at the local hobby shop and Amazon doesn't seem to have it.

Alien: Covenant (formerly known as Prometheus 2)
Big s replied to taksraven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Saw covenant this weekend and I liked it. The scares we're not very scary, but I liked the non horror stuff. I liked a lot of the ideas. The fact that the colonists were all couples was an interesting and oddly unused idea in most sci fi. I do think there was room for improvement. The action was also a bit silly at times, but things like the way the androids behaved were also interesting in that they were so different in behavior. -
The hmr monster was a dream come true for me. I have wanted a great toy for decades that represented my childhood hopes. I didn't watch dunbine until the late 90's and only a couple years ago did I see the ova. So I don't have the same attachment, but I can't deny that this is upcoming release is still something I would like. It's just a price and space issue. I do have the Zwarth from the show and really loving it and if I can I will add his big brother.
-
I do really want this, but after the getting the hmr monster I'm really low on space for larger items. I'm gonna have to do some rearranging and see what I can work out.
-
Really loving the hmr destroids so far.
-
At that price it should have a pilot figure set
-
Sorry meant to say playing with plamo, but I must have deleted the playing. Anyway there were a few minor mods like the ears, tail and claws on the shield. I also smoothed the shoulders and added a mono eye that fit perfectly out of a bandai lense set.
-
Playing with Plamo is over and I didn't place, but had fun anyway. Bugu cat since the face looked like whiskers after buying the kit
-
Well since the contest at Hlj is over, I can post some pics. I'll put more of the work pics in the workbench category

Dredd 3D - in theaters Sept. 21, 2012
Big s replied to Zor Primus's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
To me Urban was a perfect Dredd. He didn't even make the film crew remove the helmet and he did that great grumbly scowl. He also has a lower face that doesn't give away his age, kinda in a way that he didn't apear old or young. -
While working on the Bugu, I actually contemplated trimming the gear so it wouldn't turn the eye stupid while posing the head. It's an interesting gimmick, but also frustrating.
-
Maybe some sound effects for weapons or thrusters or maybe the signature macross mecha metallic stompy echoes from walking.
-
What do you mean by giant?
-
Dude, pengbuzz. When I said keep up the crazy I would never have expected that. Its now just absolutely epic. Now you just gotta fit a sound system.
-
I forgot to mention that I also like the sliding missile effect to give a more anime look to those launchers. The ankles also have a joint that can reduce or extend the height. If you couple that with the way they did the thigh joint you can bring down the height to be spot on with those above height diagrams.
-
I just got my Spartan earlier and I love the joint tightness and I am surprised at the tilt for the ankles. I also am so glad the printed markings look so great and am super thankful that they didn't use crappy stickers. It's also a lot of heft for the price. Now they just need to finish the rest of my wish list.
-
I like it so far, but are you gonna do the site and mono eye?
-
After looking at the size comparison, you could argue that bandai got it right and the one in the chart is too short because they messed up the feet.

Dredd 3D - in theaters Sept. 21, 2012
Big s replied to Zor Primus's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
If it happens it's an instant ticket buy for me. -
It's a bit rare for an non hero mg kit these days. The re 1/100 kits are a bit more free with the lesser known mobile suits. I still would really like to see a hg kit of the refined Barzam.
-
I was also wondering about the refined barzam. I would love a hg, but I think bandai would probably do a re 1/100 if it happens.
-
Loved his non grunge stuff as well.
