    Arcadia VF-5000G

    Looks like the canopy won’t hinge sideways. Inaccuracy on this level can’t be forgiven!
  2. Doesn’t look like the ventral fins fold, but the nose cone might. Armored Valkyrie might have big ol’ legs.
  3. Why not a brownie?
  4. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/paul-sorvino-dead-goodfellas-1235185779/ Good night, Paulie.

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    Given the 5000 was designed to be kinda cheap and it was Shinsei Industry’s first produced VF, some similarities to the VF-11, which was also intended to work in atmosphere as well as in space, are unavoidable. It looks like Shinsei were so pleased with the transformation sequence in the Star Mirage that when Project Supernova came along they saved resources keeping the “core mechanisms” of the 5000 intact and “hung” all the bits that made the 19 off of it.
  6. Such an excellent actor, playing so many roles such as Sark in Tron and Evil in Time Bandits, not to mention roles in Star Treks V and VI.
  7. How I saw it: we have had some Star Trek episodes that were humorous, but as a whole the series was quite serious. Lower Decks reverses that, and puts the notion that the Star Trek Federation universe is nigh-perfect and everyone has a place in it, on its ear. Plus Miles O’Brien has a statue and is acknowledged as the single most important person in Starfleet. Job’s done.

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    Hopefully there’s still time for Arcadia to refine things. The head laser pivot is big and blocky and, at least in this pic, wasn’t or couldn’t be recessed into the head in fighter mode. But hey, it’s a mass produced Star Mirage! What a world we live in!
  9. Hi all. I have a Yamato 1/60 VF-11B. Missing the left air intake cover. If someone could point me in the direction of a replacement, I’d be grateful. Thanks!
  10. Reminds me of the enemy helicopter, the HX-1.
  11. https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/james-caan-of-godfather-fame-has-died-family-announces/ar-AAZksD5?ocid=mmx&cvid=0adfd04b560a4831b157da9c00b2c4ce From Allan Bedilian Trahurn in “El Dorado” to Sonny Corleone in “The Godfather” to THX 1138, you shall be missed.
  12. As far as what Earth might have done with better knowledge of the Zentraedi, I think we see that in Macross Plus: layer upon layer of remotely-controlled, or perhaps semi-autonomous, defensive gun and missile satellites.
  13. Hooray for sane work weeks!
  14. There was a solitary rumor last year that Paramount was re-mastering DS9, but to the best of my knowledge that went nowhere. By the way, it’s leaving Netflix in July, so now’s the time to see it if you don’t have, or want, Paramount +.
  15. Here’s hoping for some gratuitous sex and violence!
  16. I liked it quite a bit. Has more tooth than I was expecting, as others have detailed. I loved the designs. Ships, armor, it all looked entirely possible and not at all over the top or cartoony… with the exception of the fuel crystal. But hey, if Star Trek can have dilithium crystals…
  17. Just checked my 25A. The segmented-looking ankle bits are metal on there.
  18. Armor parts! I’m reminded of that immortal movie line: ”Never go full retard.”
  19. Might want to make a thread in the For Sale forum.
  20. I honestly wasn’t expecting that. Supply line bottlenecks gonna bottleneck.
  21. https://fb.watch/drWujgYGlX/?fs=e&s=cl 32” X 16” X 16”. 20 pounds. Separate saucer section. Lights. Revolving illuminated Bussard collectors. One production run. $599. Order window starts June 7th.
  22. Arshes Nei looks exactly like she should. I’m in.
