Whats Lying on your Workbench MK IV
nightmareB4macross replied to Urashiman's topic in The Workshop!
It looks great in high gloss. Try applying a smoke or charcoal grey dry brush on the joints and top coat with saint, joints and black areas only. Finish stark colors like yellow and pink with matte or satin matte. It’s looking great. FYI - I still have to finish the cockpit amongst other details. Not quite close to the finish line. -
Has anybody attempted to remove their speaker fins yet?

Wow this is one fugly beetle mech. Haha. I think I am changing course and going to do a matte finish on it and weather it up. The high gloss on this is not working for me at the moment. It’s hard to photograph but the pearl shimmer is refracting off the rough surface in a very chaotic jarring way. I’ll sleep on it before I go further.

This looks awesome, even unpainted. I have zero painting skills so I might actually pick this up as it looks so good.

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
mikeszekely replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I saw that the instructions were indicating something, but the drawing for that step was not at all clear. I'm happy to rescind my complaint about droopy shoulders, but everything else still stands- Godbomber is ok on his own, Super Ginrai has issues, combining the two into God Ginrai exacerbates those issues.- 17712 replies

@mikeszekely You know what really was disappointing with MP God Ginrai(Power Master Prime)? They had an opportunity to make him as the artwork on the original box with the cab folded in the chest recessed to perfectly line up in the housing of the trailer. Instead, it's sticks out like the crappy g1 toy. i want a power master prime!- 17712 replies

Don't have high hopes for this, but will probably still go to see it.

Looked into Tubi, as hadn't heard of it. Unfortunately it's not available in my country. Will try later using a VPN.

Yeah, I'm interested to watch it. I watched a couple of episodes back when it first came out but never finshed it. I didn't even know there were English novels. Will have to check if they are available fior KIndle.

I really didn’t see any potential for the Snyder films. But the new Superman really missed the mark. My biggest complaint is still skipping all the character development and just jumping straight into things without giving us a chance to care about who these people are. that being said, I don’t really see a whole lot of potential in the new dcu either. The best thing they have upcoming is The Batman 2 and that’s not even part of either. Maybe the next reboot will give us a good Superman that’s not too much of a joke or a sad emo and can just give us a hero with some heart and can gradually build his backstory into something epic

Finally, can understand the issue. Thank you. Still not gonna check and swap mine though, even if they have the problem.

@nightmareB4macross Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll have to get some of that stuff for future builds be it bug wings or some other cool details. Also loving your updates. Feels like you are on the home stretch! ♥️

Yeah seriously. I'm one of the suckers who got burned on the 1/18 Airwolf shenanigans a few years back, and am desperate to get one.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Seto Kaiba replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
OK, the Fall 2025 simulcast season has started in earnest... so let's kick the tires on a few of these new offerings and see what we got, eh? One thing is evident, the translation quality on Crunchyroll is definitely slipping. My Awkward Senpai The "romance with my senpai at work" genre of romcom is still alive and well. So's the trend of socially awkward protagonists from last season. In this case, it's a romance comedy all about an office lady who suffers from severe social anxiety. Her attempts to mask her anxiety have given her a fearsome reputation as a strict and uncompromising boss b*tch type in her company's advertising department. Her life is turned upside-down she can no longer avoid social interactions after being tasked with training the department's painfully earnest new hire. The first episode doesn't leave much of an impression. Mainly, I think, because the "comedy" is pretty thin on the ground and mainly consists of the protagonist agonizing over how her social awkwardness manifests as being bossy or standoffish. Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! ... which is NOT the title of an adult movie! This one's a fantasy romcom about a Count's daughter who is shunned and even a little feared in noble society for her unseemly enjoyment of eating the meat of magical beasts (monsters). While attempting to save an elderly couple when a magical beast attacks a garden party held by the King for noble matchmaking, she is rescued by the Blood-Mad Duke, a noble of similarly ill-repute who is infamous as a prolific hunter of magical beasts. The two of them hit it off almost immediately when they fail to be afraid of each other based on their respective reputations and he takes an interest in her peculiar hobby. Honestly... I am intrigued and would like to hear more. It's weirdly cute seeing these two otherwise-terrifying weirdos bond over the intersection of their respective hobbies to a mix of exasperation and delight from their families and retainers. This Monster Wants to Eat Me Which is also NOT the title of an adult movie! But it seems fair. I mean, the previous show's protagonist was eating monsters. This one's an adaptation of a yuri horror manga about a suicidal teenage girl named Hinako who just wants to die after being severely injured and losing her entire family in a car accident. While walking home from school one day, Hinako is attacked by an iso-onna yokai who wants to kill and eat her. She's rescued from this terrible fate by a mermaid yokai named Shiori, who tells her that her flesh and blood are particularly delicious to yokai and vows to protect her... until she reaches the peak of her flavor when she will kill and eat her herself. I have no idea what to make of this one, to be honest. What I can say is that the title surely did not lie. The monster really does want to eat her... just in a very passive-aggressive way. Then again, this is yuri... so "eat" may end up more figurative in the end. -

Finally saw SUPERMAN on HBOMax. Made me miss the potential for the Synder films and makes me think DC is still trying to be Marvel. F'ing tryhards.- 167 replies

As one who has read the original NeverEnding Story in book form, that's a very succinct way to describe the differences.

Since the vernier thrusters move and end up I. Different places during transformation, I figured mapping them first before committing to their final positions. -

For the pearlescent wings try using holographic cellophane. The effect is very striking and all you need to do is create template for the size of the wings you will cut out and apply. -
Finally got around to Black Rabbit on Netflix. It’s one of those out of order stories. It stars Jude Law and Jason Bateman as brothers where Law’s character seems at first to be the more on the straight and narrow while Bateman is nothing but trouble…..big trouble. Just about every character is in over their heads with ambition or relationship issues and it makes for a bit of a high stress show, definitely entertaining and luckily just a limited series, so everything gets tied up in the end.
