    I agree but I think the focus groups say otherwise, lol.

    Airbrush is probably preferable and less annoying. I did each of these via hand brush, but the Tamiya clears are a royal pain to hand brush. (And I’ve hand-painted a ton of customs over the years.) Have to dab or tap the clears onto the visor, instead of the typical brush stroke. Set the visor down on a white background or white paper towel too while dabbing in the smoke paint. That way you’ll be able to tell how much of a tint you’re applying. Very easy to go too dark with the smoke tint. Then just finish off with the clear color you want.

    Boy, that's definitely.. something. I kind of feel like they really should have attempted an easier subject than this one on the first go-around. Specifically, all the blocky layers on the saucer kill any illusion of curvature, to the point that I feel a pixely-looking stack of plates would be a huge improvement. Maybe I'm expecting too much, but it feels like the standards set by their Star Wars sets have gotten almost impossibly high in comparison. As a specific thing though, the deflector looks.. better than I expected, but still feels like it needs a central printed dish added in the middle.

    Does anyone happen to have a spare empty cockpit for the Metal Build M9 Gernsback or Arbalest that they are willing to part with? I finally opened the Arbalest after so many years of it sitting in its box only to notice that its missing this empty cockpit piece.

    I'm definitely hyped for more Gojira!

    They need to ditch the monkey.

    The hype has begun! We also have the new Godzilla x Kong coming out in 2027 and a second season of Monarch too. Good time to be a G fan.

    I've always been tempted to paint the visors like yours. Did you paint these by hand brush or air brush? I don't have an air brush yet, but I don't want to get one just for brushing these visors.

    I kinda like that Hergoss valkyrie! Would have been a decent bootleg Angel Bird. I like it better than the red/white/blue Joons.

    I don't even want mine anymore, especially with fees and tariffs imposed.

    Found this recently online. I believe they are still for sale as of Nov 25. the Fairy logo looks great etched in stainless steel.

    To be fair, you never needed to use the alternate arm shield for the Yamato. Bandai just decided that one shape was good enough for both. Will cross my fingers that mine gets delivered properly tomorrow, and I'm going to just show up early to make sure they don't try another premature drop off. If this thing shows up before 3pm tomorrow, I'm going to be writing a very colorful nastygram to DHL about their garbage service.

    I was just running on basic assumptions since I’ll never watch the show, but if he went for one of those high end apartments, I doubt he’d be able to afford it without the only fans side money. Although as a stretch of reality, he may have somehow scored one of those pandemic era rent controlled rarities when the previous tenant kicked the bucket, but beyond that, he’d most likely just be stuck in a studio size box

    I just received mine and transformed it to battroid. In summary, I like it. The integrated neck cover is kinda fiddly though. I also wish the bicep covers would lock in place in the down position. But otherwise IMO, I think this is currently the best VF-19 Fire Valkyrie at 1/60. It has some pros and cons VS the Yamato one I had from before, and they're pretty much comparable. But I like that I don't need to use a separate shield, neck cover, thigh fill in blocks when transforming.

    Forums all the way. Never used Discord or Redit or Twitter. Been using Facebook for many years, mainly to keep in touch with family and old school friends, but these days the there's just much spam, ads, AI stuff and posts from people or groups I've never interactactted with and have no interest i ainteracting with. Started using IG fairly recently, maninly just to post pics of my dog.

    Discord hasn't really been devastating to actual forums to me, that damage was done with social media and Reddit(which is just the last and most successful "mega-forum", and I've always hated mega-forums). What Discord HAS done is completely eviscerate IRC. Also made a lot of stuff far less accessible as people started using it as free file-hosting instead of setting up an actual website for their projects. But it has been a gradual grind, as communities fell to mega-forums that covered a lot of topics and were too big to have actual communities, then facespace and xitter came along and made the mega-forums look focused and cozy. I do miss the old days, with actual communities that were accessible and discoverable. ... Also, BRING BACK WEBRINGS.

    Well alright. Bring it on!
