  1. Past hour
  2. Not much movement. Got the initial wash done and have continued to sharpen up the cockpit. Everything else is a little more complicated... I hand brushed my base colors onto the pilot. The Micro Mask masking film was a total bust, the edges came out horribly. (Just look at the top back of the helmet.) Going forward I will continue hand painting the details on the suit and try to sharpen everything up. I imagine I'll then do another wash, spray a flat coat, drybrush over everything, and a 2k gloss coating on the the helmet. I want to respray the gold bits to help even them out and see if I can get them to pop a bit more. For the visor I used a Moltov chrome paint pen. I did not get a very good result. I don't really feel like masking the visor off but, I think I will have to redo the chrome with the airbrush and then apply a candy blue/green for the tint. I do have some HiQParts aurora film that is commonly used on camera lens and eye details for Gundam model kits that I've also wanted to try, I'm not sure if I can cleanly apply it to such a small convex shape.
  3. Wow. That thing looks like it's got some beef. Really want to see the cycle mode now.
  4. There is a reason behind it but it is left as a mystery for the gamer to partially piece together bit by bit. Those that don't do much exploring or reading of texts/computers left behind won't get much of an explanation. Those that do will be able to come to their own reasonable assumption and go "ah, that's probably why" even though it is not explicitly explained. I feel the show does touch on enough of that for the watcher to make some assumptions of why culture didn't progress. While we don't see much, if any, of it in modern society it's not like it's without precedent in human history. Not much cultural growth occurred during the dark ages. I don't think it's much of a spoiler to say it was a form of control for bad people doing bad things.
  5. The whole story is based on an alternate timeline...what if our '50s...was that timeline's 1850's?...who knows...the story is good, but if that's the kind of unexplained detail that will bother you then the show is already not for you
  6. ... really? 🫤 I hope Fallout has a better explanation than that, because that's some hot nonsense. That actually sounds less believable than those old Star Trek episodes where some aliens find a book someone left behind, assume it's a description of the ideal society, and model their entire culture on it or build an entire world based on it. Cultural development just took a powder for 120 years?
  7. Today
  8. I'm waffling on this design. I waffle.
  9. Just finished this battlepod by Hasegawa too
  10. https://collider.com/zack-snyder-twilight-of-the-gods-image/ Remindes a bit Cartoon Saloon style (The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea and Wolfwalkers)
  11. Throw in some fusion core batteries, WMD's, and crt green screens and it's dead on 😄
  12. https://sidesevenexports.com/products/dx-chogokin-vf-1j-valkyrie-chogokin-50th-exclusive-july-august-ship-date It was available here as well.
  13. I'm enjoying a lot of the vehicles, especially the larger ones. I prefer MGS over Action Fleet.
  14. Ultramarines Chaplain in Terminator Armour.
  15. Yesterday
  16. So basically Viva Las Vegas forever? lol https://www.vivalasvegas.net/
  17. Got the KC Dana Sterling in from BBTS and I think it’s pretty great. The cloth over figure plus armor is very similar to the Sentinel ride armors build and basically correctly scaled. Which is nice if you want to do a mashup display. They should go back and restart the Macross characters in their flight suits (rather than their sailor uniforms) in this new style.
  18. Up until the last couple episodes, I thought this show would be in contention for best show of the year. Now I see that it’s in contention for either the most hated or hopefully forgettable shows of the year. It started out so good and kept giving hope things would go somewhere interesting and it just gets more and more depressing and ends as a total teaser with nothing but depression. Overall, I feel manipulated by the creators of the show into thinking this was gonna be a great show with a truly epic conclusion and felt completely let down. It’s pretty and gruesome. And a lot of depressing people doing a lot of depressing things. Seriously..F..k this show, I wish I never started it
