    Want a grey primered one I can paint myself.

    Oh geez... which of those is going to be more collectible...

    So this arrived. Heavy guy, it’s mostly metal. Interesting tidbit: it doesn’t explicitly say USS Thunderchild ANYWHERE on the model, although it’s on the box. I’m very pleased, regardless! Edit: UK based eBayer aheebob has already made waterslide decals saying “USS Thunderchild” available for this model for about $10 shipped to the US.

    Here’s the studio model that was sold at Christie’s auction house, and it’s kinda dark, so I’d say lighting.

    I met him at a Star Trek convention, he signed my Decipher DS9 Nog card and shared an anecdote or two. At a panel I attended, talk was had about what a potential Captain Nog might be like and much laughter was had when he came up with “Mini-Picard!” Thoughts are with his family.

    Why not grab the fold quartz from Windermere? They’re pretty much destitute after the events of Delta, with everyone in the Brsingr Cluster either ignoring or actively despising them, so it seems to me like the New UN could simply dictate terms and begin harvesting for a bargain price. Unless they’re worried about somehow triggering either some sort of arms race, or they’re paranoid about a large quantity of high-quality fold quartz appearing in the galaxy, even if it’s mined by the New UN and only transported and used by them.

    One has Bajoran workers, one has Bajoran officers. My Akira-XL just shipped! Woo!!

    F-35 to get the new Raytheon Peregrine missile. https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a29071628/f-35-raytheon-peregrine-missile/?source=nl&utm_source=nl_pop&utm_medium=email&date=091919&utm_campaign=nl18097110&src=nl

    I need one. They're making an XL Terok Nor, too. 8” across.

    Poland cleared to buy F-35s. https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2019/09/11/poland-cleared-to-buy-f-35-fleet/

    It’s thought Eaglemoss took the DS9-era 36” studio model to do the XL-sior with... surprised you didn’t catch the fact the deflector array grid “paneling” was actually off-kilter... the lines should be perfectly fore-aft and port-starboard, on the XL-sior they’re offset, bisecting those cardinal directions.

    Great job with the Armored Parts review @jenius, they’re just not my cuppa tea.

    Gotta agree, the story is not for the wee ones. This place gets dark. Also, the voice cast is killer. It’s a who’s-who of Hollywood, and all of them are nailing their roles.
  14. Sildani
    Surprise indeed. I figured the Berkut would have been scrapped or sent to Monino by now.
  15. Sildani
    Or maybe the Japanese F-3.
  16. Sildani
    Yeah, they’re small hexagonal vents near the wing root on the trailing edge. They’re the best candidate.
  17. Sildani
    Izzat some diecast there on the feet?

    The Akira XL is finally - finally - up for pre-order, and damn if it doesn’t look gorgeous. https://shop.eaglemoss.com/usa/star-trek-starships/uss-thunderchild-akira-class-9-inch-xl-edition?utm_source=RedEye&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=USA_SHOP_Aug19_New_releases&utm_content=USA_SHOP_Aug19_New_releases

    Looks excellent. I’m honestly more excited for this than some of the Valkyries that have recently been announced.

    BBTS has an XL D’deridex-class Warbird on pre-order. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/100006
  21. Sildani
    Well, best of luck to them. Hopefully international pressure won’t be brought to bear to cancel the project, like what happened to the Arrow and TSR-2.

    You can get a Kairos from NY... for a price. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/22661-macross-delta-dx-chogokin-vf-31a-kairos-regular-limited-edition.html

    Hi! Can I ask a big favor, and have you make some hardpoint brackets to fit on the “shields” of the VF-31 Super Parts? Many thanks!
  24. Sildani
    I actually have that (for my VF-11) and I wouldn’t mind doing it if I could 1) color match the paint and 2) had a template for where they’re supposed to go. I have a request for you, Xig, but I’ll put it in your thread.
  25. Sildani
    The cost is too high for the execution they’re offering. Great looking planet, okay looking robot, but the folded panels making up the lower legs kill it, for me at least. They can and should come up with a more elegant solution, for that kind of cash.
