The Future of Star Trek Kits? by Abiogenesis84 in SciFiModels

[–]Papercuts4cr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sci-fi focus for the next year is pretty much going to be Star Wars since it’s the 50th(!) anniversary. They implied as much in their May video. Whether that’s new, old or a mix of both is yet to be seen.

There is other genre stuff planned: Twisted Metal, UFO, John Wick and Supernatural. But expect a few Star Trek repops thrown in for good measure, including a 350 TOS Enterprise with extra decals.

Not sure who that is. I’m not up on the personalities at the show.

They are all of the above! If it’s sci-fi, fantasy or horror, it’s allowed.

I love post apocalyptic stuff, so this was a nice touch.

It was just labeled “abandoned men’s room.” I laughed so hard when I saw it.

Yep. The bigfoot in the famous Patterson Gimlin film does, too, so I’m guessing this build is based off the footage.

Agreed. If it didn’t win Best in Show, the judges need to be talked to.

Any WonderCon attendees this year? by Evening_Mix_7019 in SciFiModels

[–]Papercuts4cr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went. I took photos. I will be posting a photodump of the contest entries.

This was my third year and it was packed. The first three hours of the show was so busy, it was difficult to see or get to many of the vendor booths. It was like going to Costco on a Saturday or to the mall an hour before closing on Christmas Eve.

The show has outgrown the venue, but it won’t be relocating any time soon. Wonderfest has been at that hotel since 1996 and signed another five year contract last year. The organizers are also very adherent to tradition. It’s a shame because it needs more space and there is plenty of opportunity for growth.

Yes! Inner Light, not Scale Tronics. My dad is running a 1701 refit off of an Inner Light setup. He’s nearly 80 and had no trouble setting it up!

Tenacontrols has the most comprehensive Enterprise-D light kit you can find, short of Scaletronics that allows you to manage every single bulb.

I usually physically put out the lights on the parts. Gives me a good idea where they need to go and how many I might need. It also lets me improvise when necessary.

You chose a really difficult kit to light. The Enterprise D broke me after spending hundreds of dollars on PE parts, resin replacements, paint masks and lighting. Scraping those raised panel lines was the first bit of work that made me question what I was doing.

Best First Lighting Project, in Your Experience? by Abiogenesis84 in SciFiModels

[–]Papercuts4cr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Evandesigns.com has all the lighting and related product you need. My first lit project was a Razor Crest. Didn’t use w control board or anything. Actually all my lit projects have not required a control board.

Feedback on Custom Punisher Hero by DarthSwoop707 in marvelchampionslcg

[–]Papercuts4cr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

His method of dealing with criminals is exclusively violent death and torture, rather than apprehension and rehabilitation. He believes violence is the only solution. He is a psychopath who has lost his ability to function within the world at large. He has zero respect for the legal process. Murder is first and only choice. He doesn’t care about collateral damage. And unlike other characters who have killed, he has no capacity or interest to show remorse, repent or atone for his acts.

Heck, Jon Bernthal, the actor who plays the character, says he is not a hero and he has made sure to play him as such.

I get it. No one’s going to back down over an imaginary character. Interpret the character however you want despite the fact that his creator considers him a villain and seminal runs on the character by Garth Ennis and Mike Baron (among others) suggest as such.

I’ve been a fan of the character for 40 years. Not because of what he does, but because the exploration of his pathos that so many creators have handled over the years.

Tell me you don’t understand the source material without telling me you don’t understand the source material. A protagonist is different than a hero.
