  1. Past hour
  2. I like the Harry Potter novels, enjoyed the movies muchly. Regarding the new HBO TV trailer, the set pieces look great. I hear Warwick will return to play Professor Flitwick!
  3. MegaHouse - Variable Action High Spec Orguss ll (Standard Soldier Specification Type)
  4. Finally saw Project Hail Mary, very nice movie I liked it. It has ET and Close Encounters of the Third Kind vibe. Next is Project Hail Mario.
  5. Today
  6. 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.
  7. FYI, Current conversion at time of posting, w/tax: 77,777 yen = $488 USD
  8. 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.
  9. 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?
  10. Find this to X mix between Griffon and the sv51😁
  11. They look cool enough, waiting for a Facebook post to see more.
  12. 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. 👍
  13. 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.
  14. Have you guys seen these weathered versions of the Battle Pods? I just found them on BBTS.
  15. 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.
  16. Yup, my stuff is still there as well. Including that tv Queadluun Rau beauty
  17. 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?
  18. 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? 👀
  19. I think everybody's everything has been sitting in the HLJ warehouse for months now........LMAO... unfortunately, I'm gonna have to ship my Hasegawa Glaug and TV-Q-Rau models this weekend as my free time is up.... LOVE that mottling effect @Papa Rat! Definitely wanna try that on the TV Qau!
  20. Surely you are part troll. Or an algorithm gone rogue
