@pengbuzzThanks for sharing. It’s wonderful to have such an amazing partner in life. ♥️ Working with yard debris. Making some dry environmental grass clumps. Good old white glue don’t fail me now. 😂

Finally got myself an Ozma

I'll definitely check it out. Looks decent enough.

IGN gave it a 9 which is relief but I didn't read the review to avoid spoilers. https://www.ign.com/articles/alien-earth-review

It always amazes me how you can turn tape into something cool like that.

I got so distracted by how the legs look like they’re falling off that I didn’t notice how the arms also look like they’re falling off

@SteveTheFish "Build a doggy horse for me!' That is too cute! Just a peak into the Pengbuzz-level of awesomeness!

These 2 popped up at HLJ 🤨 Destroid Tomahawk https://www.hlj.com/1-60-scale-mbr-04-mk-vi-destroid-tomahawk-macross-reissue-aca82160-3 Nora SV 51 https://www.hlj.com/1-60-scale-complete-transformation-sv-51-gamma-nora-polyansky-boarding-machine-final-battle-specification-macross-zero-reissue-aca82158-4 Oddly both to be released at the end ofo this month

Last update on Gerwalk

Agreed; I also don't like how the arms mount to the body there either. And the legs are just plain fugly...

If you're looking for inspiration or want to explore a wide variety of paint by numbers kits, I highly recommend visiting Paint By Numbers. They have so many creative designs and options to choose from perfect for beginners and experienced painters alike!

From the top it gets ugly the way the intakes stick out at the sides.

Server is acting up, lots of timeouts, will review and fix tomorrow, sorry! Shawn

Anyone know where to get a good high res image of this poster? This may just be me seeing what I want to see, but I think there are some interesting designs in the background that I'd LOVE to see made into toys/models.

Looking good Tek!

I think the saucer needs to be a little bigger.

Actually, it was scratch built from masking tape and cardboard (and a few scrap model parts): This was it in progress circa September 30, 2021; this is how it began: The original posts begin here- https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/35120-whats-lying-on-your-workbench-mk-iv/page/317/#findComment-1596128

i kind of like how it looks in Gerwalk mode.

Seconded.

@pengbuzz I already typed this yesterday, but I must have clicked away from the tab before sending it and lost it. Great story, and I have to chime in with praise for your wife. Actually, my wife is the reason why I got back into this hobby about 26 years ago. She came home from work with an AMT Star Wars AT-AT plastic model from the hobby store on the corner where her bus stop is. She asked me, "You know how to build models, right? You've built them before. Build a doggy horse for me!" (That's what she always called Imperial Walkers and they were her favorite part of Star Wars. She even has a Kenner AT-AT toy.) So I built it with only minimal painting, just leaving the gray plastic as-is and wiped some enamel on it for a bit of weathering. Since then, I've grown modeling experience from there. I'm glad she bought that for me, because I then remembered how enjoyable the hobby is. It's good to have a wife who's supportive of your hobbies. So is that Cat's Eye a resin kit?

Describes ThreeZero's Robo-Dou VF-1s, too! 👍

Model cement won't work on that kind of plastic; it looks to me like too much pressure was applied to it during assembly and it let go. I recommend Permatex Plastic Welder (order via NAPA or Amazon); I've had excellent luck with that. It's a 2 part epoxy like adhesive with tremendous hold and strength: https://www.amazon.com/Permatex-84145-Permapoxy-Black-Plastic/dp/B00THUUVSU

So after a recent trip to galloping ghost.. I found a capcom game called Tech Romancer. It came out in 1998 in arcades and also had a Dreamcast port. It has a mech called wiseduck, which is very close to the Monster.. doing some research,, and no wonder https://capcom.fandom.com/wiki/Tech_Romancer Mechanical Design: Shoji Kawamori, Kazutaka Miyatake

Maybe if this were the OG series Enterprise I'd bite, the D is cool, but just not my jam, I still have my massive Playmobil Enterprise so that's good enough for me I guess.

Not to be overly harsh, but I feel like the nacelles are the only shape there that really works well. The angled panel patchwork is a lot harsher when you can't cover it up with greeblies like the Falcon sets. I have to think there are enough angled tiles available to get that edge smoother. Still, will be happy to grab one. I think the colors on the edge of the saucer are causing some issues though. I think I do see a tiny shuttle mounted behind the main bay as well. Actually.. I'm kind of tempted to get two, and rebuild one as the Galaxy-X. I feel like the extra superstructure and phaser cannon would cover up some of the uglier parts.
