It's fan bashed. I don't care for it much. This is supposed to be Macross not Gundam. They are totally different asthetics.

Its the continuance of that blatant feminist spin thats saddling down the show. A 'strong' female character doesn't mean Starbuck has to spit out carpet every time she rants about Ensign Ro. Anyone know what Apollo ran into with the Blackbird? I couldn't tell it moved too fast for me to see. The gayness was strong in this episode, it was all over the place. Usually I really dig the episodes but this one really hit off the mark. As said before, the whole thing with Lee seemed kind of pointless unless it was a heavy handed attempt to get an Apollo centric episode. The thing with Dualla seemed forced as well. That Six could escape from a Battlestar after the writers did it in season 1 was kind of a ripoff. Its obvious the writers want to pull her out of the mindgame slurm routine and actually make her a physical character. The whole Adama/Roslin kiss thing just blew in out of nowhere. And the fake parent/child thing between Starbuck and Cain is something you spin out of multiple episodes, not one. I really wished they had play this one straight. Give us 15-20 minutes of balls to the wall combat. Give us a couple of minor character deaths. Have some kind of twist happen, like Apollo hit only one of the FTLs and Hot Dog has to suicide crash into the backup FTL. Have Starbuck pull out her gun to cap Cain, then Six caps Cain out of nowhere and Starbuck shoots Six, have everyone make out Starbuck to be the hero when she could have been the villian. And if they wanted Apollo to eject into nowhere like Frank Poole, have the Cylons launch nukes at the Battlestars and Apollo aims the Blackbird toward a nuke because hes out of ammo and ejects. And screw the single shot to the head. I wanted to see Cain get hosed down and blown out of an airlock. I like my sci fi like I like my porn. There has to be a big money shot and its gotta get someone right between the eyes. This episode was like they took two episodes and condensed it into one. For the first time probably ever I'm pretty disappointed in a BSG episode. In The Hand Of God, you felt like the mission cost the Colonial Fleet, like the Galactica won but it cost them in blood. I didn't feel that way about this one. And if they were going to pull a overwhelming victory angle, then show the massacre. I wanted to see Vipers dogfighting instead of Apollo floating on his back. The only consolation is theres one less femnazi character left to make Apollo look like an even bigger chump. 360458[/snapback] You've obviously got some serious issues with women. You might want to chill a little. Or do the rest of us a favor and stop watching the show.

I wish I could work for myself too. I just don't have the dicipline to run my career myself. There are some advantages to working for a company. But there isn't really that much variety.

Here too.

It´s sitting on my shelf grinning at me while I´m busy with another architectural model. Deadline for this is next Tuesday, so after I got rid of the mess and sanding dust in my workspace, I´ll get to the really important stuff again 360029[/snapback] So do you seem to be having a huge surge in Architectural projects where you are? We sure are busting out at the seams in Seattle. We are at the point where we have to "turn down" work. (What that really means is we tell the clients that we can't start working on new projects untill the middle of February. Which is true but has the nasty side effect of sending them elsewere.) It's really hard to find people who can do this work to make the crew bigger.

Most were wiped out. The rest were downgraded.

On a related note. Will SMT release the pattern back to the sculptor on this. I really think that the kit should be done by someone actually moving forward with production.

I'm in.

That could just as easily be a whisper. And we don't know the context yet.

What the hell you talkin' about? I have Comcast and I am watching the SciFi Channel right now. 356689[/snapback] Ummm... are you in my area? I said from MY channel list. 356764[/snapback] I heard that in the Chicago area Comcast has moved Sci-fi to the Digital Cable package. There was a huge furor over it a few months back after Comcast made the announcement.

Nope. How much you got? It'll take at least $7,000 to start.

It sure looks like Volvo's take on a VF-4

I reiterate. There are plenty of people who rotocast that can help. Who said you couldn't just do the pattern then let someone else cast? Federation Models or Starship Modeler have the means to do it. If you don't someone else just might. (Not me. My plate is full right now.) If nothing else I can make a one off for myself.

I believe he means the drawing of the truck.

I got mine yesterday. It's a VERY nice model kit. These small companies are really starting to give Bandai a run for thier money. I really wish I had time to work on it.

This is indeed a real dissapointment for me. Maybe we can get someone else to pattern it. I know of at least three casters that can make it affordable with quality as well.

Frankly none of the spoilers I have read about the show have ever spoiled the show for me. I knew Sharon was going to get shot. I never imagined it would be by Callie.

Sorry. Been working long hours and I'm getting a bit punchy. Need...more...slee...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

So it won't be the Ghost of Christmas Present, but rather, the Ghost of Christmas Future.

No kidding, she was uber hot. Sadly, I saw her (and Gil Gerard) here in Raleigh, NC last year and I didn't recognize either of them at first. I'm afraid age has not been kind to either of them... Which reminds me! Who is that in your avatar, myk? 351197[/snapback] She looked great to me back in June.

Which idea is that?

I doubt it since they never did the armored VF-1.

The castings are being done right now and the first 20 are made. I sent a portion of the 190 person list to Federation Models and those should go out in a week or two.

It's on my to do list. But 1/32nd is a proper aircraft scale.
