    Marin in My dress up darling is really smitten. I wish we knew what Gojo thought about Marin.

    The top of the thigh is diecast (rotational joint at the top), while the remainder is plastic; that said, the rest of the thigh is two pieces that screw together, so it's not the one-piece of the original G1. Here's a pic: And then while putting it back, I found out that I was completely wrong about the overtravel and flexing forward: At first I thought "$#1T, I broke it!!", until I realized it wasn't flopping or wobbling around. With this in mind, there's also the front of the knee, which is indeed a plastic plate that's stationary (inset for engraved "decal) that could well be modified to hinge forward and allow more forward motion on the knee if they chose. It wouldn't be unreasonable, given that they also modified the back of the calf/ lower leg on ML:UM. I would like to see someone do a third party back cover for the figure though, to cover over at least the cab. We'll have to see.

    😂 wow but seriously it’s looking way better.

    Thanks so much! There are two options when building and installing the lower radar. One allows for clearance while on the ground while the other is in a lower position “extended” which dips down below the level of the wheels. I prefer the later version with it extended so I need to get it off the ground.

    Are you telling me Xenomorphs are blue-collar?
  7. pengbuzz
    Well, progress on my latest project: The first is when I first burned my arm; the second is a few minutes ago. I guess I got the "mottling" down... just needs decals and some dullcote.

    This is the best reproduction of the dynamic pose. I am also interested in the kit.

    NGL, the more I think about it the more I think Guy Fieri over Gordon Ramsay for that... After all, the Xenomorph isn't usually found dining on fresh high-quality white collar executives in a posh and spotlessly clean establishment. It's frequenting the grungy, grimy, hasn't-seen-a-mop-and-bucket-in-living-memory working spaceships and factories and enthusiastically consuming a diet of cheap, greasy, frozen-and-reheated blue collar working stiffs. Alien movies from the creature's perspective aren't Master Chef or even Kitchen Nightmares... it's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. 😆

    There’s actually been a couple of bands that came up recently that people supported and bought albums from that turned out to be just ai. It’s getting really sneaky these days and definitely harder to tell the fakes on certain ones versus images and videos that are still rough. But pretty soon, I’d expect to see some videos that will be very convincing

    Yeah, I saw someone utilizing ChatGPT to create a few songs about some folks/buddies, using just a handful of descriptions and a song genre suggestion. Kinda crazy how quickly it came up with something. And three out of the four “songs” were actually not too shabby. 😳

    That's looking amazing too!!! Nice subtle mottling underneath that super smooth paint job!
  14. wm cheng
    WOW!!! That turned out absolutely amazing. Congrats, looks so good. Why would you need a stand if its on wheels?
  15. Perxion
    Hello everyone, thank you for your interest in my work. I'll reply soon with pricing and procedures. THANKS!

    I am interested too. Both in the missiles and the rifle.

    I’m finding the easiest way to align pieces “that will never align” on these old kits is to simply just lay down some .3mm on top and move on. Been thinking ahead about color on this. I always see the VF-1S in a bright white and I may stick with that, but what if I do a rich red undercoat and see what happens? A cool blue would make more sense but why play it safe. Hahah We will find out when this puppy gets into the spray booth.

    Thanks so much! 👍

    Drool! Love it

    Please add me to the interested list. Thanks, Carl

    Woohoo! Surprise FedEx drop. Little bummed they broke away from the autobot city back drop with this character, cause he in particular should have that setup. Same time such a waste of packaging, like a bag of chips, they could put him in a box literally half the size and look better. sadly I’m out and about so I can’t say much about him cause he’s still in the box at this time. Now that I'm home and had time to mess around with him, I can certainly say, none of us are gonna be putting him in his alternate form. He's got great articulation, looks pretty close to his actual G1 representation giving very little hint he turns into a tank. Yes there are things that could been improved upon or done differently, but seeing how for the majority of us, he's gonna be in robot mode, it doesn't really matter.

    So many amazing builds & customs going on here, well done everyone! @derex3592 The Cats-eye is looking superb so far! @MechTech From one of the masters of scratch building, I appreciate the compliment on those Nam Helmets. I remember the M3 Flak helmet you posted years ago, I 'm still taken back how you did those flaps, very impressive to this day. @Papa Rat Your VE-1 is a masterpiece, I love the detailing!

    Any progress is good progress they say..... 🤔

    Been listening to certain playlists over past few weeks as casual background music, before gradually realising they are AI music. At first, I thought only the vocals are AI, but it seems everything - composition, arrangement, instrumentals are AI generated. It really mimics high production value, and unlike most of current AI images or videos which I suspect most of us are able to tell apart from the real thing, if I were to just listen to the track without any context I wouldn't be able to tell that it's something generated in just minutes.

    I do hope Toyrise's Legioss do well so we continue to get other stuff inspired by Breaker's line. Safe to say Sentinel won't be releasing more of Breakers as Gate's ride armor didn't seem to do so well.

    Are the thighs on G1 OP and UM's core made of die cast? It's been a very long time since I handled that figure and I don't recall. However, that would account for my mistaking them for being chromed, as they're pretty shiny in the pics. I was thinking, too, that there may be a moveable panel to allow for more forward knee travel, but I couldn't make it out if there is. There could also just be more clearance in the leg mold to allow for the thighs to swivel forward a bit. Regardless, I'm thinking the pics show the extent, or very close to the full extent of thigh forward motion. If it could kick up higher, I'm thinking they would've shown it for the 'ooh, ahh' factor.

    You should do some weathering on it for laughs
