  1. Past hour
  2. F1 was a good time. Definitely a theater movie.
  3. Just got my Rattler shipping notification from FedEx. Still says shipping pending on Pulse. I'll be skipping the Snow Cat.
  4. Hey everyone, quick post! I don't know if you have seen these before, but it is an AWESOME add-on to your mecha builds! This is a mechanical Gatling cannon that has ROTATION AND RECOIL action!!! TOTALLY COOL! They can be hard to find and sell out fast, but Hobby Search has them (at this time) for only $13.00 (plus about the same price for shipping registered mail to the U.S.). This version COMES WITH the motor, batteries and switch: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/11182826 I just got mine in the mail and have yet to build it. If you're not familiar, Hobby Search is another great place to get stuff, especially if you're used to HLJ and them being out of stuff all the time. I've been buying from them for years. They seem to ship out faster than HLJ too. The motor is a compact gear motor and they are excellent for other projects too! I bought a bunch a while back. You'll see them in high end toys and kits. The small "ammo container" on the side holds three small 357 batteries - that come with the kit! I hear they don't last long, but adding in an external battery pack would be easy. The Hobby Mio logo is cool too, a cat with a wrench!😻 Here's a decent review minus the motor kit that the link above DOES have. The last video shows it in action. Enjoy! - MT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV9pNTma73o
  5. Today

  7. I'm glad they actually made a decent representation of this one, but I don't think you can really make this design any bigger without the weight of the design itself fairly well ruining the experience. In the realm of sci-fi designs, this one works out just slightly better than the floating/detached nacelles in the most recent Trek designs. The backpack on this one bugs me though. I'm not sure if it's actually supposed to close? It just seems to be stuck permanently detached/opened somehow. I'd love to see one in 1/60 if they could get the limbs stable (maybe some kind of sliding lock that would hold them in place?), but I'm not expecting anyone to take that gamble.
  8. Very nice! Mine is still sitting in it's box....but so glad I bought it before the import duty nonsense...
  9. Thanks @M'Kyuun.

  11. I agree at this size everything just manages to hold together, and the same engineering at larger scale will not work. Once the SAP packs are on in Fighter, it teeters into handling nightmare territory, as the lack of arms tabbing into anything will drive one slightly crazy trying to align them symmetrically whilst trying not to bump other parts off position. Other than that, the plastics feel strong and Bandai made a good choice designing a central metal frame holding most parts together. But yes, the sculpt is really beautiful and I just wish there's officially more adventurous color scheme for it, rather than just sparse, re-colored stripes for the other pilots.
  12. That wash brings out those little panels
  13. Bandai will be rereleasing the HG Expansion packs 1-6 in September!
  14. Anyway a HAVOC would be sweet and a Snow Cat should be a general release.
  15. There’s never a need to collect everything This ain’t Pokemon
  16. Reminds me of the posters for astronauts that were in every classroom back in the 80’s
