    The whole thing is crazy. This administration of our government can't be gone quickly enough. I just want to buy the toys I like at decent prices.

    77,777 yen is a good bit but woof that's expensive. I believe it's about par for the course for JP boxsets, especially for full 4K remasters like this, but definitely going to wait and see if AlltheAnime puts this out in a few years.

    I just finished collecting all three variants of the original Battle Pods. Would you buy a whole new set of of the weathered ones? I wonder if this is also going to be a trend with the upcoming scout and officer's pod?
  9. Bolt
    Yes! Looking forward to it !

    Find this to X mix between Griffon and the sv51😁

    They look cool enough, waiting for a Facebook post to see more.

    Well the outcome looked beautiful to me. Hahaha. Sometimes we get into rough waters and discover cool things as we attempt to right the ship. I’m sure your next go at the process will yield even better results. 👍

    That process was quite unintentional - it was a desperate repair job on botched clearcoat (Mr. Hobby lacquer) reaction to the Tamiya (Acrylic) paint underneath with the added complication that I had already applied the decals. After the repairs were done, I tried that thinned ink with sponge/brush technique and it was an ok first attempt. I need to get better before I try it on a F-14 TPS scheme.

    Have you guys seen these weathered versions of the Battle Pods? I just found them on BBTS.
  15. Papa Rat
    Yeah. I just held the piece and stuffing in my off hand and sprayed. Went lightly at first and finding a sweet spot for paint flow will just happen. Smaller bursts of paint were most effective for my attempts. Soooo simple. I found that after the stuffing was used a bit the effect was better since there were some more defined pathways for the paint to penetrate. Does that make sense? The whole process was inspired by folks spraying through dried up distressed baby wipes to create marble effects I didn’t want marble but used a similar method. I didn’t have baby wipes so used stuffing as a filter Next time I will make sure to put on gloves. Hahaha. Well as far as weathering I absolutely loved the Ostrich you shared on here. That had such an amazing surface treatment and required quite the process if I remember.

    Yup, my stuff is still there as well. Including that tv Queadluun Rau beauty
  17. wm cheng
    That looks amazing @Papa Rat!!! I remember spending all this time in my youth trying to get a perfect flat smooth coat of paint and now we are seeing all these amazing weathering effects of paint fading and textures to liven up flat areas of colour - what a turnaround! So you airbrushed through the stuffing? Did you hold the stuffing or lay it on the surface to shoot through?

    Apparently Hathaway II: the Sorcery of Nymph Circe is coming to US theaters on 15 May.
  19. Papa Rat
    Thanks. I’ll try and take a pic of what I used but it’s so straightforward…stretch poly fill across surface and spray then repeat. It’s not some sort of witchcraft. Ok a little black magic maybe. Lol I’m so pumped for you getting some items shipped out too. I need to do the same since I imagine my free PW time is running out. Ugh. Maybe my wife ships it out for me for my bday gift? Hmmmmm. Scheming. How’s the ship? Also how’s the tank coming? 👀

    While I’m still not a fan of live action Cowboy Bebop, it had something that the newer gundam stuff was lacking. That was that the characters were somewhat likeable for the most part. The story was a total mess, but then so was the story for the newer seed. But I just don’t like the characters in those or witch from mercury. A show or movie can have the greatest writing ever, but if I don’t like the characters, then I won’t find the project watchable. The thing this Gundam project may have going for it is that it may not be adapting a Gundam story that we’ve already seen. We may not have to worry about a plot getting ruined or a character getting destroyed. It may not even be a U.C. Or other established universe story
  26. mikeszekely
    Really? I've searched several different ways and I can't even find this figure on Target's site.
  27. Seto Kaiba
    Huh... I'm not sure what to make of a pronouncement like that. Granted, G-Witch and SEED Freedom were some weak sh*t in the writing department with the latter's story being entirely unnecessary but they were still light years ahead of the torrent of optical diarrhea that was Netflix's bastardization of Cowboy Bebop. Their stories were at least functional. Western attempts to adapt anime tend to miss the point of the original story with distressing thoroughness. Just asking... but is your day job to greet people who solve a cursed puzzle box? I guess statistically speaking someone had to like it. Most folks considered it to be distilled disgust, and the very picture of sh*tting on a classic for no real reason.
  28. Bolt
    I liked the live action Cowboy Bebop , personally. But ya, live action adaptations don't usually fare well. Nevertheless, I'm willing to have an open mind and see for myself how this turns out.
