    Yeah, not bad for little 'shake'n'bake' kits. Rey cool! Always a generous offer @SteveTheFish, just like in the old days! And that is looking good @Papa Rat! The gold and the accent colors really work well together.

    All they had to do was completely refilm the Last Jedi to include Palpatine's resurrection, having that be the real story of the entire film, basically turning the entire opening crawl of RoS into its own screenplay. In fact, I consider the Last Jedi as a lost film that, when finally found, would seamlessly and without rush, tell a beautiful tale of the battle between good and evil. In another dimension...

    Should have left him evil. He should have fired on Leia's ship and he should have been fighting Rey all the way to the end. He turned against Snoke and he should have been fighting against Palpatine for ultimate control, and he should have called himself Darth Caedus...

    And Starscream is finished as well! There were some extra pieces in the box, like different chest/intake pieces, and I think those are meant for the Blitzwing kit. And the two of them together.

    Thanks for that! Always love seeing what kits they have coming out. Shame about the others not letting any videos be taken in their booths. You'd think they'd want free publicity!

    Those colors are poppin' @Papa Rat!

    Great idea!! Very gruesome looking mask @tekering! Tough decision between the two, @nightmareB4macross. The top black one is more classic, but the orange has an interesting new profile that makes one wonder what special uses it has. @Big s The toy version can transform and I'll probably put it back into its motorcycle mode when they go back onto the shelf. @Papa Rat Yes, the pink Arcee and Starscream are both from Trumpeter, and I have him together now and will post pics this evening.

    @Papa Rat Keep an eye on the dog and you might find it again... Alright, Arcee is done! May need a little extra touch up here and there, but she is in the altogether. And next to the transforming toy I bought from Wallyworld. It's a trade-off, the toy has better size but the model has better detail. Think I'll keep both. As for Starscream, I'll put him together another night soon. It's getting late and there is a model show to go to tomorrow! Thom

    Some Starscream parts got a bit of detail painting. They were just straight black, except for the hands and the gear. And a pinwash on the colored parts. And the same for Trumpeter's Arcee Some of the silver trim was already on there. They were then sprayed with a flat coat and should go together pretty quickly this evening. Thom

    If it keeps more of the dust out, that's a trade-off I'd take. (Detulf..?🙃)

    Quite the change there, @Papa Rat! Good looking finish.

    Nice. Not seeing any of the big gaps that plagued the older ones.

    Thank you! Goes to show how much I remember from that movie...

    Me too! He had that great blend of boasting and whining all in one. It was perfect. @Big s Don't know if I'll buy anymore of them, esp with the Trumpeter Transformers, but it is a nice little kit. Quick and easy build and it even has a small light module in the chest. So the eyes and a panel on the chest lights up. Seems motion sensitive and goes off after a few minutes. @SteveTheFish Great looking VW Bumblebee! The nostalgia is real, yo! Decided I'd also do the Trumpeter Arcee kit as well as Starscream. I started to do a little detail painting last night, but found my paint 'beading' on the surface. Don't know if it's the plastic or some coating, so I hit all the spru with a flat coat this morning, so hopefully I can get back to that tonight. Thom

    HaHA! Dibs!

    And something I came across at an FYE entertainment store was this little Transformers model made by Blokees. (No, I never heard of them either...) But this is Arcee, I think from one of the cartoons. A bit different from the standard, but I thought it looked kind of cute, I like Arcee and Transformers, and so there you go! Not a very involved kit. You don't need glue or paint, and it took me about twenty minutes with some spru cutters and a light sanding stick. There is sope there to paint more and weather it, but I was just in mind to simply assemble something rather then engage my entire modeler-self, which, sadly, has not completed anything in a very long time... so it was nice to get this out and put together! And she comes with a nice base and flight display arm. Very cool. Now I guess I should start that Trumpeter Starcream... She does need someone to fight against after all.

    Maybe it will be Vision's quest to save Wanda.

    RIP Poster Master!

    This, so much!

    it's going to air whether I watch or not, so I will give it a few episodes to see how it does. Not too hyped unfortunately.
  25. Thom
    Yes, please, let's get back to some serious story telling. I don't mind a comedic episode or two, especially when they are funny, but don't try and fill out a season with them.
