@peter And whose to say that there was no Musashi in the UNCF!? I think that's what they should have named the Ginga, but now you get to build an actual fighting ship! As for battle damage, I think every now and then of doing that to one of my kits. Something like this...

There was a post a few pages (and several years back) about attaching clear parts, most of which was already answered. But this is for wingtip lights, whether kit-supplied or making your own to replace solid molded ones. For an example, the ones on Tamiya's 1/48 Ki-46 are molded solid, so you can either paint them silver and then clear red/green - or cut them out. And to replace them I use plexiglass. I bought a small sheet from my local hardware store for another purpose, but found that it doesn't fog at all with CA! So, just cut out a few chunks, drill and paint to make the bulbs... ...and then glue them in place with your superglue. After some sanding with finer and finer grit to polish, you end up with some nice wing tip lights! Thom

@Photogirl Ugh, same thing happened to me, only with the canopy of my Spit. And @joscasle As she must have said, 'that's huge!'

@peter It really fits, esp with the battle-scarring.

@peter Wow, I love that battle-scarred battroid! The colors on it really stand out.

Yeah, your enjoyment of the product is clearly coming in second to their profit margin. Look at the bad paint job on the neck. wow.- 924 replies

Former!? That's good news! As to taking a break... Modellers are like gamblers without any 'Modeller's Anonymous.' There's no hope for us, thank god!

Will the next Macross be the last Macross?
Thom replied to Roy Focker's topic in Movies and TV Series
I wonder if in the Macross universe, like the IDF, it is mandatory to serve a term in the service? After Earth was razed, I could easily imagine every surviving citizen having to a term in the military, at least until the civil unrest after the war finally eased up. And I could see that being carried over to the Immigration Fleets. With a finite population so far away from immediate assistance, they would want as many citizens as possible to be able to stand up and fill the gap made by combat losses. It would follow that students would have military trade schools as well. -
I wonder if that is to accommodate the housing for the newer lighting set-up. I do like the better detail on it.
-
I have to come back and say that I did buy a few items from them. This was several months go now, but I did get good service and quick shipment. Again, several months ago.
-
I know I don't have that mould of the kit! Definitely looks like it makes lighting a breeze.
-
@peter Just that little bit really helps to complete the look. And it's always a little strange to see sci fi ships from different universes sharing the same 'stage.'

@peter Real nice on the shading!
-
For scribing, I use dymo tape (LABEL MAKER'S TAPE) as a hard edge. And sometimes, Tamiya Tape for Curves is also good, as long as you just use it as a guide and not a hard-edge to press against. Also best, to not press into the plastic. Act like you are simply drawing a line on it. A light touch is a better touch.
-
Nice with the base. Is it going to have a space or schematic underneath it? And cool news about the Cat's Eye!
-
@derex3592 I envy your organizational skillz!! My work station is a pig sty... @peter Thank you! I made some goofs on it, in which a second kit came in very handy!! I guess I'm glad to be some influence. And that is a nice collection of parts, sure to be made into something quite cool. @MechTech Your mech is coming into fine shape. @505thAirborne Yes, a Mk XIV. It's the new Airfix kit, and I'm doing it as the second marking option, the all metal Race 80.

So, apparently the pilot here shouldn't be as honored as he is... According to this, the pilot had been warned during the flight that his plane was laying smoke. Rather than landing immediately, he decided to do another circuit of the air show, at which point is engine - now lacking oil - seized. So, entirely avoidable...

Looks loaded for bear and ready to take ass and kick names! Nice job!
-
That's a great looking bash! Those super parts fit really well with it, and the colors are good too.
-
Wow, love it!
-
Since it's just a prototype, I'm sure we'll see a more refined version before long. (?)
-
Looks like we're getting a new carrier model. Really hoping it's 1/1000!
