News Displaying 55 to 64 of 66  I remember these being released quite a while ago: a few years after the big Dai-X that UNBOX did.
I have the one with the yellow mask but the colours on this one are a bit different all-round.
I was on-track to win this on FromJapan but the auction got deleted. Lame  It'd been a while since I'd seen anything Star Fleet-related from YmiscY but I found over nitter 4 images that have been re-done with much darker colouration than before and come out quite striking.
These have been added to the YmiscY folder, for safe keeping.
Incidentally, nitter was supposed to stop working in February when twitter removed 'guest accounts' from their service, that were used by old, unsupported versions of the android twitter app to display content in the app prior to user login.
This functionality allowed nitter to pull content from the service and serve it up anonymously.
I found one instance of nitter (as above) that still works, although it's not altogether clear how, but it's very handy for people to be able to view Star Fleet content on there, without them needing to have a login.
I've been watching a lot of Babylon 5 lately. I suppose "faith manages".  I found this project of building and painting a Moderoid Dai-X model on nitter.
These photos illustrate the long series of steps involved. They also show the flourescent yellow paint that was used for the eyes.
It gives it a green glow in the photographs. I think I might even prefer that to the yellow. Perhaps they upgrade the sensors/lasers in the eyes after the events of the show.   Nice new image that I found on twitter of Lamia, the way the face is drawn captures the character well - would be great to see a colourised version.  I'd not seen this item before until now.
It's a small snack box/tin produced (I think) by Showa.  I was sent a huge number of great images from Dan at SFFB over the past few weeks...
I understand that Gary Cass has started producing X-Bomber 3D prints that are colour-3D-printed:
Gary Cass - More Projects
At the same time, I have some great images of cpltony16's PPA model.
I also received some detailed and interesting images of Andrea Mazzuzi's and CJ Jones' Dai-X model builds.
Matsukami too is working on a 3D X-Bomber model. Take a look on the forum for more.
I spotted that a number of further Star Fleet-related paintings had been done by eBay user greggsinnit.
The Shiro one is really good, but the Dai-X is still the best to my mind.
Lastly, I noticed last month that there was an odd behaviour with the site, where the server seemed to be interrupting the SLIR image processing, and gallery pages with 100+ images were only loading about half of them.
This behaviour now seems to be fixed.  I really like this painting but I already have a nice illustration of Dai-X in my office:
Dai X; Star Fleet (X Bomber) - Original Acrylic Painting On Deep Edged Canvas | eBay We had a fun Star Fleet Teams this time around, late in February.
Since Chat/Teams is built into Windows 11 and Microsoft seems to want to effectively replace Skype with it, I thought I would try and use that, and it worked quite well.
We had quite good discussion about all sorts of things.
Thanks to all who joined!
Off the back of that, I have added the link to Andy Thomas' youtube channel to the links page:
Excelsior's Domain - YouTube
If you like Babylon 5, you'll have a good time there.
We have a great thread going on the forum about Tony's reconstruction of PPA.
There are a lot of really nice images uploaded there:
Screen Accurate Large Scale PPA
I look forward to that hopefully getting updated further.  I'm pretty sure I've not seen this one before.
Anyway, it's now headed to the FROM JAPAN warehouse.
Once it gets to me, I'll scan it and you can have a better look at the cover illustration.
Update: This item has arrived. I'll scan the cover to get a better image of the illustration.
