Youse guys gots ta change the topic now and then, especially when you've
gone SO astray... ;->=
Don't forget that Battlestar Galactica, which I still love as an admitted
guilty pleasure because of SOOO much drek, showed that you could lose a
ship without destroying/making useless, i.e. Pegasus. A rejoining could
have been awesome.
The archives of science fiction tele are filled with shows that started
slow, showed promise, and were canceled before given a chance to gel.
IMNSHO, Earth, Final Conflict showed much promise, and should have been
canceled sometime ago. I will always wonder about Space: Above and Beyond.
That said, I really am uncomfortable watching Andromeda, but will try the
episodes mentioned.
As an even further OT, I've enjoyed ST, occasionally as much as B5, but
realized I was watching utopian vs. dystopian bents, and altered my
expectations accordingly. Well, DS9 has been less so.
Back to LoGH(if one is going to rant and rave, that one owes the list SOME
on-topic), has anyone suggestions for small models of Imp and Fed ships?
I'm trying to make a few myself, but I lack talent and patience, and the
resin items from Japan are a bit large and expensive.
I've Star Blazers, ST, SW, B5, and many other systems' figs, but nothing
looks right. I give the Macross 1/20000 Quiltra-Quelual fair marks, but
only for the Fed cannon fodder, and, for fleets on a table top, it's still
a bit large.
As I'm currently working with disposable cutlery handles and plastic model
plane bombs as starting places, I'm welcoming most any suggestions.
As a space miniatures game I enjoy, Full Thrust, was kind enough to mention
LoGH, I've decided to stop thinking about it and get to work...
