    @Papa Rat - Agreed with most here -- get the Blu-Ray's and watch the new BSG. It's FRACKIN great! (You'll get that joke later)... Thanks everyone for the compliments on the BUFF! I continue to try to improve but I'm always my worst critic! @tekering - As a HUGE fan of Southern Cross, I envy ALL your Captain America Resin builds, can't wait to see this one completed! Side note --- Would you ever think about trying to design and print the Zor's or "Robotech Master's" Mother ship? I've NEVER seen even a garage kit of it....

    @tekering The PEGASUS is truly a Beast, I sure wish Moebius or someone else would reissue the kits, I'd love to get 1 or 2 more. @Papa Rat The original Battlestar Galactic is one to be watched, remembered & respected, especially given when it was made. I wouldn't mind seeing a reboot of the original storyline from the 1978 series. As for the RDM reimagined series, find the DVD's or Blu-ray's and watch the entire thing, it's quite possibly one of the best series ever made. From the acting, sets, & musical score by Bear McCreary, it's one not to be missed. @Thom I think Prometheus is the way to go too.

    @Thom Hey thanks. @tekering Wow. That’s wild! That’s a ton of amazing work right there. 🎉 I have only been to Japan once and most of the places I stayed in had very limited space. Well, at least the spots in the heart of the cities I visited anyways. Very cool internal detail. Is that located in the chest area? Man I love that blue. Excited to see this all finished.

    For once, I've taken the time to paint the interior detail of a Bioroid: Yeah, but it's very awkward to photograph from the stairwell... This is the best I could manage, from the second floor landing. You, sir, have a right to your opinion, and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. I would never deign to deprive you of that right. 😅

    Hi, not sure if this is exactly related to what you're looking for, but the website Zimmerit, which covers a number of 80s era anime (as well as the general scene around manga and anime in Japan at the time) has the following article: https://www.zimmerit.moe/macross-design-shoji-kawamori-kazutaka-miyatake/

    Wow those are very cool mecha. Thinning 1-5 is wild. I’m about to use their star bright gold with rapid thinner on the next build which. Maybe I’ll snoop around for metallic thinning ratios. A chromed out gold would be wonderful!

    Nah, they’ve been talking about live action for over a year. Just hoping it’s great. Amazon does have some good shows, and a couple stinkers. But I feel like it’s more hit than miss
  12. Big s
    No pr, thanks for the recommendation and can’t wait to see the next build. I’m have a few gai colors and one I want to play around with is their star bright brass. Supposedly it can be thinned down to around five parts thinner and turns into a smooth gold chrome. Got a Jagd Doga and Hyaku Shiki that I want to use that on

    The stupid painful part of this is that you just know Bandai gonna Bandai, and make all of the worst assumptions when sales don't match their expectations. "Oh, our fifth reissue of the main character's vehicle is underperforming. Guess no one cares about this series anymore." No, you insipid pisswaffles, no one is buying it because everyone interested in it already has four other copies, and you refuse to produce the versions you teased, and they've been waiting for for eight freaking years.

    Netflix' "The Beast in me" was the best miniseries I watched in the recent past. Good writing, beautifully shot, and the two leads are killing it in every scene. Hitchcock reloaded.

    @derex3592 She sure looks perty in pictures! Nicely done BUFF. @505thAirborne Your battlestar is coming along great. Of the name choices, I'd go with Prometheus. Once again, another piece of art @Papa Rat. Eh... I've seen both of them, and I have to say I vastly prefer the original. Ship aside, which I prefer more than the TOS Galactica ships... I liked the mini-series, but that's as far as I would ever watch it again.
  16. Thom
    I thought this was going to be animated. Hope it's great either way!

    Apparently this is still a thing:

    @electric indigoThanks. Tried out a new Gaia notes paint for this as an experiment. It has a nice amount of depth to it. Some shimmery blue will show up in the correct light that resembles a crushed velvet look/texture. @tekering Thanks so much. Creepy eyes for sure. Also look at your BSG along with so many others. Damn you have a museum of beautiful models right there. Is all of this at your home? Incredible! I will make sure I don’t miss on the BSG reboot. And sad to say I haven’t started Andor yet. 🙃 @Big s thanks so much. I mentioned it before but that Gaia lacquer paint was really nice. It sprays great at a ratio of 1-2.5 so you get a lot in a small jar. It also feels highly durable. More so than Mr Color but I may be mistaken. I also bought some of their surfacer and a metallic. I will try those out on the next build which is all gold. Very excited for that.

    Not sure where this post should live. After spending >100% item cost on shipping (tariffs) from Anime-Export, I wanna share any deal I find. HLJ taking 10% off ECMS shipping for a short time for USA customers.

    Congrats on completing a very realistic B-52, @derex3592. Another glorious Mortar Headd for your collection! Those yellow eyes on the shoulders are genuinely creepy. 😱 I've always been partial to the PEGASUS myself... It's that unique cluster of engines that sets it apart. The original Galactica occupies a spot in my collection, too, of course... ...but nuBSG is infinitely superior. For the past twenty years, it's been widely considered the best sci-fi TV series of all time (although Andor and The Expanse may have eclipsed it nowadays). Anyone familiar with the original BSG, however, is even more likely to appreciate it by comparison. 🤩

    Delta version underway. Have I mentioned lately just how much I love the ArtDink (Macross 30 and Macross Delta Scramble creators) modeling crew? They really went out of their way to make modifying these models really easy. For example, the Delta workroid is missing the 'calf muscles' that the Frontier workroid and Cheyenne both have, but instead of having to create the new skinnier leg, they had already made it that way and just slapped the calf bulges on overtop, so all I had to do was delete them and make the texture for the newly exposed surfaces. I'm half convinced that ArtDink had access to the filming CG (or, at least, some of the lower LOD versions) since the animators seem to have taken a lot of the same design steps as the game models did. Either way, it makes working on stuff like this a lot more fun because there's a clear path to get where I want to go with it and not a lot of tedium to get there. I will need to create a new chest, as the Delta workroid has a slightly different shape that isn't just an extension of the Cheyenne chest, but it's pretty minor, and interestingly the wheels on the Delta version appear to be bigger and differently attached than the others. There are a different set of gizmos on the back (kinda looks like air conditioning units), and obviously the arms will be all new, but I think it's already coming together pretty well with the leg up the game modelers gave me. More to come soon.

    Yawn. Wake me up if there is a new VF-1 variant in 1/48.

    Still hoping it’s great and not Spider Manure
