Front split line between the bumper and hood being straight is not good.  Also the rear Porsche logo should not be erected like that.  These are leak images so still have chance to fix it up.


Nice slow tune Matt Quentin - Morning Dew

Nice Polygon ID.  Using water cooler fin as design element is refreshing.

ANA buying 3 Airbus A380





Just as when I thought A380 double decker was failure as product, ANA is getting 3.  Perhaps it comes from Boeing 787 Rolls Royce engine failure.  ETA Spring 2019.  Please come to SF.

SCREEN-SHOT DEATH STAR SECTION


from web: It's easy to forget now, but the original Star Wars was shot using manual effects, not CG. Sadly, no one knew the importance of what they were doing at the time, and so few props remain. This section of the Death Star is one of them. Rescued from the trash heap by an ex-ILM employee, it measures 23.75" X 11.75" and exhibits the fine detail that made the film's final act so believable. It's been authenticated by two independent ILM employees and comes in a custom-made display case with a black wood base, removable acrylic top, and LED lighting.
