  1. Hey @SteveTheFish DO NOT USE lacquer thinner straight on the model, it will eat into the plastic. Sometimes people use lacquer thinner as liquid cement.
  2. Hey @Shawn - sorry to bug you again, but the emails from MW have gone strangely quiet, could you check if you're still sending out updates? Am I the only one that uses email updates? 🤣
  3. It's weird that everyone I see seems to be using the same kind of small celled black foam but where are they buying it from? I don't have this stuff laying around (Pelican case foam is rare if you don't have Pelican cases :P) - I don't see it for sale anywhere (other than very expensive Pelican cases).
  4. Looking great @derex3592 - wow really nice riveting on that wing especially for 1/72 scale! Where does people get those black foam inserts that you cut up to block up the intakes or landing gear wells?
  5. OMG!!! @MechTech that's absolutely amazing. Are you making this for a naval museum?!?! Wow, just absolutely incredible. What scale is that? I've got one of those fuse thingys on top of your shell - I always wondered how big the rest of it was. It's heavy and doesn't turn anymore, but I thought it was a nice paperweight. Now I know where it belongs! I'm just absolutely floored. You are the Master!
  6. That's looking great, I have a stencil like that too that I've been thinking of trying but I have found this guy I'm following on Facebook and he's amazing in 1/72 scale. I think I might try his acrylic ink technique instead of these spray patterns as I find it more scale appropriate for 1/72. Have a look here; https://luftraum72.com/layered-ink-patina-technique/ He's a fellow Canuklehead too and I have his book and its amazing!!! Highly recommend it.
  7. YES 100% Something we haven't seen before would have made me jump on this, but I'm happy with my 1/60 v2 version of this for now.
  8. What a Hunk of Junk! @Chas - looking great! Nice warm tones @Rock - never seen those big ass missiles outboard before, are those their version of Phoenixes?
  9. Wow that's so eye opening @no3Ljm - thanks, it really puts into perspective when ordering from Japan nowadays. Just before the pandemic, I was complaining about 3,000Y EMS to Canada for similiar sized/weight toys, but now that's increased over 3 fold (that's only 4yrs ago)!!! I had to factor in brokerage fees and customs, duties and taxes for us Canukleheads (if it was anything other than EMS - and still I had a 50:50 chance of customs), but not only is the toys getting so expensive, the shipping is astronomical nowadays. I wished I got a 300% increase in my wages over the last 4 years!!!
  10. LOL! Man that looks amazing and I love high-viz schemes especially orange!!!
  11. It is over $500cdn shipped with customs & duties charged by Amazon (I only went that way because I had US gift cards to spend). I think the Canadian store options are actually cheaper in the end - even though they are pretty crazy prices.
  12. Woohoo!!! Thank you @Shizuka the Cat so much - ordered with Giftcards! Ah, I can relax now that I've got one or not?!?! (or arrives months later) There seems to be so much Joy that has been lost in Macross Collecting over the years (at least in the last decade). So does Amazon charge now up front or only when they deliver?
