Re: Screen Accurate Large Scale PPA

That sounds awesome. The composition of the eye looks different to me in every shot, so trying to make it authentic without the original to examine in person seems impossible. I love vintage technology. I have a particular love for Palm handhelds. For quite a while last year, I used a Palm Treo 680,...

Re: 3d creations

Hi Matsukami Great to hear from you, This is looking really good already. It would be really nice to see an X-Bomber 3D mesh that goes for accuracy all-over. Some of the more recent attempts have gone wild on accuracy in some, more obscure areas, but made noticeable changes in other areas, for examp...

Re: Screen Accurate Large Scale PPA

This project keeps turning up all sorts of interesting details. Someone went to some trouble to add all those gubbins inside a model that wasn't often shown that close-up. If you have a way of 3d modelling an approximation of it in blender or somewhere and 3d-printing it. I don't see that it has to ...

Re: Forum Downtime

Yes, we got a good outcome on that. I have a feeling that all this change with the plans and pricing is a stopgap situation to bridge their decommissioning of their physical web servers and hoof everyone across to these new HCI servers. Our migration was done in Feb and our original server was easil...

Re: RIP Al Matthews

I was thinking about this the other day. It must be a great sadness to their families that a lot of actors from the shows our childhood are no longer around, and it's disappointing for the fans as well. But at the same time, these people worked on a lot of projects (Star Fleet is just one example) t...

Re: Screen Accurate Large Scale PPA

Hi Tony, These are some great images of a great-looking project! Welcome to the forum, This is some great research around the building of the model. I always find things like this fascinating. Would you let us know when you get to the next stage, or when he's completed and let us see the finished ar...

Re: Babylon 5 on Blu Ray

You're totally right. I would've preferred to have seen the CGI re-done. I'd come across Tom's work a good while back but it seems to have come a long way since then, and it was already very impressive. I suppose the problem is paying a CGI studio to have your own copyrighted version of the new exte...

Re: Babylon 5 on Blu Ray

I heard that the picture quality of this bluray is good - as good as it can get without them re-rendering the CGI with models that they no longer even have. The zip disks and floppy disks that had the models for the Omega destroyer and others were lost in the chaos of Foundation Imaging. Apparently,...

Re: Big Dai-X Model Kit

It looks really good.
The only reason that I haven't ordered one for myself and photographed it for the site is that I'm biding my time and waiting until I have more time available to do a half-way proper job of building it.

Re: Forum Downtime

Well, this is good: better than I expected. I got the invoice for our hosting renewal and, I'm only being invoiced for what they're calling "Ruby legacy", which means that we can keep all the functionality of the old Ruby plan, before it was significantly shaved down, and I don't have to p...
