M-Tron Exo by Titolian Via Flickr: The final of the set of three! This is actually the one that started the series, and is still my fave. Something about a mech holding giant gripper arms is super fun. Replicating the minifig's power arms was a nice challenge as well, with Dots bracelets coming to the rescue for the flexible cabling(?) Enjoy :) More angles are on my Instagram if you're interested!

MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics

got some new PLA and while waiting, i modeled some more Logos: Exploriens, M:Tron and Blacktron.

painting the insectoids logo was a pain in the ass, because i had the genius idea to put webbing in front of the background that's supposed to have a gradient. i don't think it turned out too great.

i also added the .stls to the dropbox folder, feel free to download them :) (but maybe print the insectoid logo bigger than 6cm or on a resin printer, there's detail in the eyes i couldn't print with my ender 3)

made a little three dimensional Rock Raiders logo for 3D printing

here's a link to the .stl

M-Tron mech, back with more classic space!

This image of what a 1990s American version of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen would look like is awesome for many reasons, of course:

My eyes are of course drawn to the upper left corner, where among other images of possible 80s League members, we see good old Tron. And look who he's hanging out with: None other than Max Headroom!

For those of you who don't know, Max Headroom was a 1980s TV character, who was presented as if he was CG generated, but was in reality an actor (the extraordinary Matt Frewer) in physical costume and makeup made to look as if he was CG. He was intentionally portrayed as often "malfunctioning", stuttering and repeating himself for humorous effect. Here's a collection of funny bits with him, to give an idea of what he was like:

I've always been fascinated by this concept, of using traditional effects to pretend that something is computer generated. And that's why I think Max meeting Tron is fitting. The original Tron film is of course famous for its actual CG elements, but a lot of the film instead uses other special effects, such as matte paintings, cell animation and the lovely backlit animation, to portray the computer world. This feels to me like a variant of the "trickery" behind Max Headroom, a way of filmmaking that was probably unique to that era when CG was just starting to become the hot new thing, and was promising great leaps forward for special effects, but wasn't able to live up to those promises just yet (and some would argue that it still hasn't).

Also, I think a crossover between the characters would be really funny, with the stoic serious warrior Tron having to deal with the joking, self-absorbed jackass Max Headroom.

i miss writing for predastar. there is something just lovely and poetic about two people who were hurt healing together and escaping violence. and it would be a great redemption story for starscream to understand that even if he himself was hurt, he shouldn't have treated others the way he was treated. and i think that predaking, being someone who was hurt by the decepticons, and megatron and also believed in them, would also learn to heal and accept starscream.

i just have these positive vibes for two broken people who have both only been shown and only use violence seeing a better side of each other and healing.

I said there'd be more Anon stuff and I meant it. Some pair models and headcanons about character dynamics:

Anon and Tron were likely at least coworkers before the Purge if they didn't know each other too well. I imagine Uprising-era Tron would appreciate having another Monitor around. I see them as at the very least good acquaintances.

Given her relationship with Tron, Yori has a soft spot for all Monitors, especially new ones. In-game information suggests Anon is new as of the cycle when Evolution takes place, so they're pretty young. Yori thinks Anon is a cute little beta, doting on them like a mom.

I love the headcanons where Anon immediately recognizes Beck (as the Renegade) as a fellow Monitor and shenanigans ensue. I feel like they would work well together and get up to all kinds of mischief.

(I realized as I was making this model that it sort of echoes my Cellmates model and that's really fun. Anon and Beck having a Tron and Ram-type friendship would be very silly [though sad for Tron])

Murder, She Wrote guest stars in ‘A Death in Hong Kong’

David Warner- one of my favourite character actors. For you Trek fans out there, he’s the Cardassian who tried to convince Captain Picard (ST:TNG) that there are three lights, not four, and Chancellor Gordon in ST:VI. But he’s been in over 250 projects, including— and certainly not limited to— Z Cars, Twin Peaks, Mystery!, Father Dowling Investigates, Wild Palms, Babylon 5, Titanic (1997), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1968), Scream 2, Planet of the Apes (2001), The Omen, Providence, Holocaust (1978 miniseries), Time Bandits, Tron, Star Trek V, Perry Mason films, Dinosaurs TV show, Doctor Who tv show and audio dramas) (Last of two appearances on MSW).

Soon-Tek Oh - A brilliant character actor who certainly deserves recognition. You may recognise him from M*A*S*H, Trapper John MD, Hawaii 5-0, Kung Fu, Night Gallery, The Wild Wild West (TV), Charlie's Angels, Quincy ME, Magnum PI, Stargate SG1, Mulan (1998, voice).

Barrie Ingham - Second of two appearances. If you know him, you'll probably know him from primarily British television. Danger Man, Dr Who, Armchair Mystery Theatre, Invasion, The Avengers TV show, Remington Steele. He did a bit in the US- mainly Matlock, The Jeffersons, and ST:TNG.

10.1 Episode aired Sep 12, 1993

mellotronmkII sir have you got the arturia mello V plugin??

I do not because I'm cheap and ran into issues obtaining it through .... means so I wound up getting the g force M-tron pro which I do use and enjoy messing around with a lot however I still wanna try the Arturia one! I ended up getting the m tron out of practicality but I've read forum posts where people talk about the differences and it seems like the general consensus is that the tapes in the m-tron sound cleaner which is either a pro or con depending on your tastes i guess...seems like some people prefer one and some the other so I would definitely be curious to try out the Arturia and compare. Do you have it and do you like it?

o/ngsasun had so much potential until sun started acting funny and being generally ungrateful/rude and then outing o/ngsa and acting as if it was her fault 😭 because a girl not being ready to come out is some kind of incredibly selfish offense… she didn’t even know if her parents were homophobic, had they turned out to be what would’ve happened? damn sun just doesn’t think about her i swear
