News Displaying 91 to 100 of 100  My calico fantail has been having quite a hard time over the last several weeks. I'd been trying pretty much everything to get Thunder feeling better.
I was having some success, but it was backwards-and-forwards.
What seems to have pushed us forward more than anything else was changing his food away from normal AquaCare Goldfish to AquaCare Goldfish Japan, which is apparently meant for fantails.
Anyway, if you'd noticed that not-as-much had been going on with the site at the moment, this has been part of the reason.  I found this photo in a discussion on low-angle macro photography on nitter.
This image was captured on an iphone 'camera' and has had a lot done in photoshop, but the outcome was nice and artistic.  I like this Goodsmile/Moderoid Dai-X model build and there are quite a few good photos of it.
A lot of work clearly went into painting it and making it look a lot more realistic.
I do wonder whether it got made to look a bit too dirty.
Even my Subaru looks cleaner than that.  I have a new image of Anthony's PPA project, thanks to Dan at SFFB.
I really look forward to seeing the finishing touches done on this. This isn't Star Fleet (X Bomber)-related, but I wanted to share this great video, where this physicist spends four hours hilariously murdering the disaster that was Star Trek: Picard:
How Star Trek: Picard Ruins Star Trek - YouTube   In 2021, dym2005 produced a 720p AI upscale release of Star Fleet by combining the picture from the French DVD release with the audio from the UK/US release, which is a painstaking process.
There is more information about the making of the upscale here:

I would like to thank Antony Leach for generating the below comparisons, which illustrate the difference in quality between the UK DVD release and the upscale versions, and Dan Hitchin at SFFB for sharing them.  Dan at Star Fleet Facebook was kind enough to send me this image of Gary Cass' new project: a painted X-Bomber model.
The paintwork is great on this. I like the variations of tone that make it look to be made up of many individual panels.
It would be great to see how this turns out, fully-assembled.  We don't normally do a lot around halloween in this house, but I did have the idea a number of years ago (when I was in a previous job, actually) to do a pumpkin zeroid.
I will say that I have never done a pumpkin lantern in my life, but this one has turned out OK and our daughter seems very happy with it.
 Things have been a bit slow on the front of Star Fleet news recently.
I did encounter a photo from the Star Fleet Expo in Tokyo 2 years ago, though, of an item that I had not seen in any previous photographs.
I take this photo to be an original poster to advertise the airing of X Bomber on TV in Japan.
I've made quite a few additions to the site here and there of the last few weeks, including a couple of new images in the Star Fleet - Soundtracks section.
