    1/55's revisited

    Talk about sticker shock. https://www.ebay.com/itm/177394308666?mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m164380.l178264&ch=osgood&euid=4e8da61532ab41da9c56d713317cc4bd&bu=44778737508&ut=RU&osub=-1~1&crd=20250907032643&segname=11021&recoId=177394308666&recoPos=1
  5. Yeah, the recent Legioss Eta reissue that I just picked up unly comes with 2 wing pylons.
  6. I just picked up the recent Sentinel Legioss Eta reissue and damn it was hard to transform, due to multiple super tight joints in the legs and hips. I transformed it from Fighter to Diver to Soldier mode in one session and it's now going to stay in Soldier mode forever, I'm not going to dare to transform it again for fear of breaking something. I admit to having very little experience with the Sentinel Legioss toys, I picked up a green one 2 to 3 years ago and promptly snapped one of the hip joints on the first transformation attempt. I was trying to follow the somewhat incomprehensible (at least to me) instruction manual pics. I neglected to watch any transformation videos at that time.........my bad. 😅 This time I actually watched the Scorched Earth Toys Transformation video, which helped a lot, although unlike in the video, the thighs on mine were super tight to extend. I thought I was gonna break the toy while trying to extend them. Also, even after watching and pausing the video multiple times, I could not figure out the correct hip bar position for Diver mode. I managed to get it into Diver mode eventually, but still think I didn't get the hip joints correct. I'm super wary about the hips on these toys, due to my above-mentioned previous bad experience with the green Legioss. I was however able to follow the video to get the hip bars in the correct position for soldier mode.😅 My only other complaint about the toy is that the ankles on mine are super loose (the only loose joints on the toy). It kept wanting to tip forward in Diver mode due to the loose ankles. I've recently been getting back into Mospeada and decided to get the Sentinel Legioss Eta to scratch my legioss itch as I didn't have any Legioss toys and although I've pre-ordered the Pose+ and the Takara Toyrise versions, they won't be released until 2026.
  7. Well, if you think about it, they do pretty much always have a working class single parent... 🤔 "The Fly" Kirsh and Wendy's brother finally address the elephant in the room vis a vis lifespan... Well, that bodes ill... Wait... waiiiiiit... hold on a ding-dang minute here... There's optimistic, and then there's that. I guess it's fair given that these characters obviously do not have the perspective on these things that we do, but come the f*** on... I really, really cannot wait for Boy Cavalier to end up as Xenomorph chow. The writers have done one thing well in this series, and that is making this character incredibly incredibly easy to hate. I suppose that it helps that the person he's modeled on is one of the most hated men in the world right now. Almost as if they're reading this thread... You know that Alien: Earth is really set in the future because even the robots are inventing new ways to be racist to other robots. Smooth move, Dame Sylvia. You just removed one kind of incipient psychosis and opened up the door for a completely different kind of mental illness. OK, I am prepared to say with confidence that Noah Hawley has an oral fetish. There are so many protracted closeups of Sydney Chandler's mouth. It's like if Quentin Tarantino wanted to get a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. I know I say this a lot, but it's not effective horror (or even scary) if your characters in a horror movie die by being maximally stupid. There seems to be a lot of that going around. Honestly, at this point it really feels like the writers are taking the piss.
  8. Pretty much. I think each Legioss came with two connectors only. Looking back at @vladykins’ post a number of pages back, the connector for the Tread missile set is slightly different. Same connection pegs that connect to the wing, but different connecting ports/holes for the missiles.
  9. Aren't those the same connectors used to attach the guns to the wings of the Legioss?
  10. I don't really care either way for this show, but it was on while I was surfing so I left in on for five minutes. About long enough for... It is this level of stupid that makes me glad I am giving this one a wide pass!
  11. He is also very nervous around girls Which is why he has such a bad reaction to Arcee touching his hand in the comic page.
  12. They decided that the Powered Buggy Character was a great Detective, so they named him after Sherlock Holmes hat a deerstalker. In one of the comic pages there is a picture of him with a magnifying glass. Found the picture from the Generations Mook info.
  13. I wanted to see how this light blue looked, to me it looks more like a pale green and then I went with azure blue , which turned up as kind of a grey blue. I really wasn’t sure how either color would turn out and figured if nothing else, it’d be interesting together. i may use that light blue that I swear is pale green on a gm custom from 0083 at a later time
  14. I have yet to see anyone successfully disassemble that disaster. The leg is screwed and glued in every way imaginable, and you're far more likely to break it into a hundred pieces than actually get it apart. I can't say the method doesn't exist, but it might take some very creative sawing and drilling to get the pieces apart in anything resembling their original shape. The best case is probably breaking it apart without distorting the parts so you can at least get measurements for what it should look like.
  15. Primed and base coated the Arii 1/100 VF-1S . I added a few little details here and there to this simple kit. I didn’t invest too much time into it so far. I just want to have this be a fun/loose experimental build. I went with a red/purple color base color instead of my usual mahogany that I have been enjoying. Not sure how the white top layer is going to like it. Hope it doesn’t give off a “who put a red shirt in the white load of laundry” look. Ya know what I mean? Anyway, soon we will see.
  16. Worse comes to worse, there’s always adhesive putty.
  17. Looking good @Big s !!! I love the colors you chose and can’t wait to see the pilot looking out once you finish it up. 👍
  18. To get things back on topic, here are a couple of very quick attempts to "realify" the scheme. Got rid of the red (though I still kept some orange, just for flair 😉), thinned out the wing stripes, added the back "sword", and colored the ankle guards. Then did a slight tweak with some orange gills and an added stripe on the back. Nothing spectacular, but something to move it in a realistic direction. Have to admit, after going to the museum, I'm tempted to try a silver and red scheme like that T6 Texan in the middle of the group shot, but we'll see how much time I get over the next few days.
  19. I’m pretty certain I can fabricate those connectors. I’ll PM Perxion and see if we can work out something.
  20. Still taking my time on this since the deadline passed. Did a basic assembly to see if my rough camo looked a bit cohesive. I think it’s ugly, but works for that trashy Machinen Krieger kinda look. Plus any overly messy spots I think will just blend in with the heavy weathering I plan to give it. I still plan on some stripes here and there and of course decals. I just wanted to see how things looked in a basic assembly for now.
  21. Yesterday
  22. Oof, no, those are the pylons that come with the Legioss. Maybe making more of those for the kit would be an option? The hard part is probably finding a material that'll have the right properties to attach correctly without breaking.
  23. Can you explain what else would be needed? Are these connectors sold somewhere else? Thanks!
  24. @Perxion Email has been sent! Thank you for putting this together, the kit looks amazing. MB
