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...

Re: Star Fleet episode subtitles

Well, I like to think of myself as a facilitator. :lol: Oh yes, I was surprised to learn that a little while ago from Ben's substack: https://starfleetxbomber.substack.com/p/an-attack-beyond-tears-part-one I had assumed that the French and UK versions were the same other than the dubbing, music and ...

Re: Star Fleet episode subtitles

Well, I would say something like "strong first post", but that seems a bit weak in this case! Thanks very much for this, Megaupload let me download that very swiftly last night and the subs work great in media player classic. I got quite a way into episode 1 just now before my daughter dec...
