Oh, good heavenly elliptical, spiral, and irregular galaxies, Batman! What an info-bomb -Stock Hibernators far and wide are emerging from their putrid cocoons for sure. My reactions:

Ha! I'm ready for this one this time! Even a bit earlier than I was expecting, but who's complaining? QVP, Kashmere, and at least one of those delicious kitbashed escorts are in my sights. To be truthful, I didn't fully appreciate the small scale of those warhounds until today. For some reason, I was under the impression they were larger than what they actually are. I mean that in a good way- I was thinking they were 'deodorant stick' large before, probably because of the grav-tanks you've done, but perhaps the inclusion of the bat ship for scale forced me to take a second look at the ships in relation to the hex stands and realize just how nicely to scale you modeled these in. Even with photos, I managed to misjudge their scale.

Unrelated plug: go see Blade Runner 2049! -it's unnerving for a film of this quality to retrace the path of 'Dredd' (2012). While the upcoming 'Pacific Rim Uprising' might be a fine popcorn flick, 2049 is a film a league above. Support it.

Spoiled for choice here: from Nasa engine tests to garage hot-rod compilations, the masterful sound design of Ben Burtt won out... edit: oh who needs you, Disney! keep yer Jar-Jar and we'll listen to actual Lucas approved hot rods instead! lol
