COLLECTION DIARY: FEBRUARY 2023

 

I am happy to be able to build many variations of my first cool city sector with three complete blocks. I plan to have nine blocks for the full city scape. What you see here cost $200 so it will be an ongoing project which is FUN because I like to take time and plan out everything.

A NEW MIDDLE-EARTH CINEMATIC UNIVERSE IS COMING

Embracer Groups’s Middle-Earth Enterprises and New Line Cinema Join Forces To Further Explore the Cinematic Universe of “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit”

I am going to remain open to this because it might be great. Best thing to do IMO is to just wait and see what it looks (and feels) like as more info and imagery come from these companies. 

It is a real thing and it is happening...

I have seen a lot of special people saying that they do not want the six PJ films remade. Guys the articles have made it clear that they have the rights to the LOTR and HOBBIT books and they are making all NEW stories from these books. They are not REMAKING anything.

🍷🧐🎩 RANGS-UH-POW-UHHhhh AIN'T John's Glorious World! 🍨💯

This is a good video from Adam who is a fine fellow. I have seen a lot of people going crazy over this news and yes all of them sited the 🐷🌈👸 that is muh-zonnies woke go-gurl-cat ☣💩🚧

Rest Grandfather TOLKIEN 🤍🌲✨💞 you are loved by much of the world, and for all of the true and right reasons! Good people will defend you and share your works! #LORDofTheRINGS #JRRTolkien

BOSS' LOTR: ALTERNATE HARAD 🐍 MAHUD JUNGEL RAKSHAKIN

 I found even more wonderful new alternate miniatures for my ME-SBG this week! I love most of the official GW HARAD 🐍 miniatures, but I still want some better options for some of the Heroes and Elite units. Look at the glorious MAHUD JUNGEL RAKSHAKIN! 🐅🌴🐯

The idea for my answer to owning some cool thematic Mahûd Raiders in this army

came from finding these wonderful Catt-Folk models! Now for me they are The Ferocious RAKSHAKIN KLANARS 🐅⚡🐾

I love these beautiful and terrifying creatures. The Raksha are badass and IMO a thousand times better in every way than the wacky camel cavalry 🐪 GW offers... just no! Before some of you blast me for Camal-Hate: I am getting some great looking camels for my Harad Caravan.

More NEW UNITS and ALTERNATE MODEL Goodness coming soon...

BOSS' BATTLETECH: TECH TURF - CITY BUILDINGS: ADMINISTRATIVE PART 3

 I love how modular these building are. HARDWEAR STUDIOS is going to continue getting a lot of my attention for the rest of the year. I have had my Nerd-eye on these cool models for awhile now and it is very cool to finally have these main city buildings for my BATTLETECH Environments.

The badass building to the right in this image is a hero building from my MILITERY BUILDINGS collection. I included it in this ADMINISTRATIVE layout because in games these sections of my cities will be adjacent in Militarized safe cities. The right side of this layout could have an AIRPORT or INDUSTRIAL block sector for example.

This is one of the songs that hotshot Mech Warriors play while working the hard job of being Heroic Protectors of The STEINER-LYRAN and FEDERATED COMMONWEALTHS' Cities! 

More BATTLETECH City Tech coming soon...

RIP MASTER LEIJI MATSUMOTO 🤍✨💞

 REST IN PEACE MASTER Leiji Matsumoto

I have just become aware of this dear mans passing... I have loved Master Matsumoto's work since my childhood and I will always think of him when I go on a glorious cosmic adventure with his wonderful art and films. 

Renowned manga creator, illustrator, and designer Leiji Matsumoto passed away on February 13 at 11:00 a.m. due to acute heart failure. He was 85. His immediate family already held a service with his manga creator wife Miyako Maki as the chief mourner.

Matsumoto was born with the given name Akira in 1938 at Kurume City in Fukuoka Prefecture, and he debuted as a manga artist in 1953 with Michibachi no Bōken (Honeybee's Adventure) while he was still in high school. After graduating high school, he moved to Tokyo and became popular in the 1950s as a shōjo manga creator under a pen name. He then adopted his most famous pen name, Leiji Matsumoto, in 1965.

His notable works include Space Pirate Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999, and Queen Emeraldas — all of which inspired multiple anime or live-action adaptations — and he contributed designs and created the tie-in manga for Space Battleship Yamato. He also supervised animated music videos for French electronic pop group Daft Punk's Discovery album, and the videos were strung together into the INTERSTELLA 5555 film. His designs and works have influenced multiple generations of artists around the world.

Matsumoto's mechanical designs ranged from sleek warships inspired by early 20th century dreadnoughts, to fantastical space trains. His characters similarly ranged from cartoonish or caricatured designs to grounded, realistic figures.

In 2001 Matsumoto was awarded the "Medal with Purple Ribbon" honor, and in 2010 he was awarded with the "Order of the Sacred Treasure, Gold Rays with Rosette." In 2012 he received the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters) decoration from the French government.

 STAR BLAZERS has been in our lives for over forty years... it is one of the best human stories.

I have gathered an extensive collection of very good STAR BLAZERS - YAMATO videos.

There are many good Master Matsumoto articles at COSMO DNA

BOSS' BATTLETECH: TECH TURF - CITY BUILDINGS: ADMINISTRATIVE PART 2

As of this month I finally own the big three city buildings I am using for my Administrative sector  Now that I have tested how they will fit when stacked in alternate configurations I am of course continuing the planning of my city layouts. This is all very FUN! 🤗🌆🧐

The Office Tower model is a fantastic large single building.

I love how modular these building are. HARDWEAR STUDIOS is going to be getting a lot of my attention for the rest of the year. I have had my Nerd-eye on these cool models for awhile now and it is about time I got busy on building a few BATTLETECH Environments.

This is one of the songs that hotshot Mech Warriors play while working the hard job of being Heroic Protectors of The STEINER-LYRAN and FEDERATED COMMONWEALTHS' Cities!
