Regarding the almost mythical SDF-1 prototype: two things. 1). Just make sure to keep the Bandai design team that worked on the YF-21 and the VF-17S as far away from this as possible. 2). An easy and simple preorder process would be nice for once. Wishful thinking on my part, I know. But that prototype was the one Macross item that genuinely excited me.

Is it bad that I’d rather see something like @nightmareB4macross’s super-updated, super-articulated, filled to the gills with cool features 1/55 chunky instead? I get the intent of the release, but it would have been cool if they added a few more new articulation points and features.

Technically, they’re from Star Wars: Rebels. But Ahsoka was kinda a continuation of Rebels, and four of the characters in the pic already appeared in Ahsoka Season 1.

I’ve always preferred the Koopalings to Bowser Jr. But I’ll give the movie a chance.

Yah, I needed an Itano Circus of missiles for the levels of stupidity I was dealing with.

When you come back into the office and have to deal with a bunch of asinine BS, emails, and dumb red tape crap, and the only response you can muster is “W. T. Actual. F?!”:

So, Toy Story 3.5: Bonnie Drift (Away from Toys)? And didn’t that Christmas Toy Story short sorta already cover this ground (but with the latest video game system, instead of the iPad stand-in)?

I usually painted the smoke on the outside to better hide and obscure the HUD lines.

Pics (towards the bottom of the linked post): Scroll down further, and you’ll see another post of the kit on the actual figure. You will need to paint the little tabs white on the top of the visor though.

Airbrush is probably preferable and less annoying. I did each of these via hand brush, but the Tamiya clears are a royal pain to hand brush. (And I’ve hand-painted a ton of customs over the years.) Have to dab or tap the clears onto the visor, instead of the typical brush stroke. Set the visor down on a white background or white paper towel too while dabbing in the smoke paint. That way you’ll be able to tell how much of a tint you’re applying. Very easy to go too dark with the smoke tint. Then just finish off with the clear color you want.

There’s a way to make the HUD lines less obvious: 1) use rubbing alcohol to remove the silver paint on the INSIDE of the visor. 2) paint outside of the visor with Tamiya clears (color of your choice and smoke paint). 3) the more Tamiya smoke you apply, the less the visor will be translucent. I kinda got better with each attempt:

^*Yep, felt unrealistic that they’d have to make any kind of decision that quickly. I can point to a very obvious real world comparison, where a country did NOT rush to retaliate before making sure to have all its facts straight first.

Have you gotten a Tread yet? Back to the Legioss, Sentinel did do a bunch of nice tweaks to really compact the fighter mode and to shrink down the length of the nosecone in soldier mode. Yeah, it's a bit of a messy underside. But at least, it sorta makes sense that the intakes and exhaust all follow one straight path. Also, really wish they had painted the pilots.

A key drawback is that the borders kinda obstruct your view more than the old Detolfs (Detolves? ).
