@imarmodelsКүн бұрын
Yeah the original helmets were based on an old 1970s helmet (a Bell I think) and the bubble visors are just that, motorcycle helmet visors

@@imarmodels I made a spacesuit with that exact helmet and visor way back when. There was little else in the bike shops at the time. I always thought the film props would be fancy custom-made things... funny to think I got it right by default. I remember that one of my classmates gave me some military badges for the arms. I could never figure out why the other kids would support my nerdy hobby. Looking back, I appreciate it immensely.

Wow. Super attention to detail and so professional. Love it. Esp like the effective use of 3-d printing - from a “lay” model-maker/cosplay perspective has this technology made a massive difference to the whole interest group? I do love the _sans_ Freiberger season 1 of S1999.

Thanks, I want it to be as accurate as I can without spending a fortune. 3D modelling is revolutionary to cosplay for me as it means something like the cuff seals are a couple of hours to prototype whereas my old hand made ones were several days work

I just returned from the theater and got to see Alien - Romulus. I'd give it a 3 out of 5. It had a few parts where you couldn't help but catch the references to previous movies. Alien, Aliens, Aliens 3. A complete new set of faces, and a couple of different Alien creatures. Simple enough plot, and good realistic sets. Can't say anything more as I don't want to spoil it for those yet to see it. Great repaint. How many figures did they make from the movie? (the back of the box only shows 4 other figures and the type is too small to read on the screen) I have not seen these before. Surprised that there is a Lambert figures since she isn't typically popular enough for most model makers. Still great to have as a part of a set though.
@imarmodels5 күн бұрын
Hoping to see Romulus but hate going to the cinema these days, it's by far the worst way to experience a film lol they didn't seem to get as far as doing the whole Alien crew as the series folded before then. They would alternate between the 4 films each month.

Great stuff! If that were to scale, what would you approximate it as? To my eyes, it looks around 1/48 scale. I'm an old miseryguts, who never, ever bothered buying action figure playsets, because the manufacturers (out of necessity, I know) always compromised the scale, and that always bothered me. Sorry. Saying that, your version of a rocking horse manure rare toy, is inspired, and a thing of beauty. Thank you for sharing! Nice one.👍👍👍

I have a favourite Swann Morton scalpel, too. I found the handle just lying in the road, in the middle of nowhere, one day about 25 years ago. I was going to work on my motorcycle, and, on a winding Suffolk lane, saw something glinting. I thought it might be glass, but as I got to it, I saw it wasn't. It was completely undamaged, and had no real reason to be where it was. It's been very useful ever since.

I loved your quatermass II hammer podcast (which I’ve only just discovered) I’ve been watching and rewatching quatermass II for years. Very much enjoy Brian Dunleavy’s Q portrayal and was gratified to learn that he wasn’t as ‘bad’ as Kneale recollected in his later thoughts. Sad that Sid James had got typecast as he was pretty effective as the journalist and if I recall correctly was billed as Sidney James in the credits(?) I’ll have to check that in future views. Keep up the great voice work with Eric and I always wait with baited breath for the next B7 & Who pods. The cards look nice. Glossy and tactile (or they appear that way!)

It, like it's predecessors, is beautifully written. Nigel Kneale knew exactly what terrified him, and he knew how to translate that to terrifying others. His script books are goosebump inducing - not just the script, but his directions: 'sharp look left' 'eyes wide in terror', and my favourite, as I always see it, when I watch any of the first three series: 'creep in music'; 'uneasy music.' I adore Quatermass And The Pit - everything in it is right - I have seen it countless times, and bits of it still make my flesh creep - the terrified policeman in the ruined house (played by the same actor who played the overly officious General Henderson in UFO) always does it. His sense of terror is palpable - as it should be, as the ruined house is directly above the Martian spacecraft. Little bits of business like the hull attacking the flesh of anyone who touches it. It's a wonderful movie, but just pipped at the post by Quatermass II. Everything here is filled with dread. The exquisitely eerie lighting, throughout; just the oddness of it - roads that go nowhere; lines of sinister figures on the horizon; Broadhead's terrible death, and above all, those menacing silvery skies, that seems to get lower and lower as the movie progresses. Oh, and the great Sid James proving that he could actually act. What's not to like? 'Hobbs End' was the name given to a model station used to teach tube train drivers. So it did exist... sort of.
