  1. Getting close now. Main paint is done, and just need to do little bits. The Aeber'carin and the Galla'heiren. And the UNCF Haruna, built on a used Garmillas ship hull.
  2. Hmmm, Snickers... Great work there PB! The others are right, it looks like a pre-crash ASS-1. I may have to steel this idea...
  3. Fantastic job on the Falcon! She looks ready for a fan-film!
  4. Really hope this does turn out as great as this trailer promises. It looks like great fun. The visuals and action shots look awesome, and the interactions shown hopefully deepen and really become a solid core of the movie. Loved WW! All she did was sweep someone down and drop from on high, but that hair flip...
  5. Most welcome! That is one nice Strike Fighter ready to bounce some battle pods!
  6. LOL!! Microsoft on Macross! That arm display and mounting looks great PB. And cool work on the keyboard. It almost looks like it's been used.
  7. Got my preorder in! Bandai is getting a lot of money from me this year!
  8. New Yamato 2202 ships are in stock!! http://hlj.com/product/BANN14500 http://hlj.com/product/BANN15636
  9. Thanks PB!! Your launch arm dio is coming along awesomely. Can't wait to see it mounted. And that Falcon is looking spectacular! Nice PE work and the weathering already looks great.
  10. Calling my recent project DUN! Build pics here,
  11. The perspective is looking good there PB! Derex, that SDF is looking great. Bringing back fond memories.
  12. Saw it just today, and what a great movie! Emma Watson was incredible and her singing is just lovely. Her interactions with Kline, and Kline all on his own, were touching, and the added scenes of her mother really brought out more of the FEELZ. I thought the Beast was good, but I was struggling a couple of times to 'see' him in the scene, as sometimes CG overcame suspended reality. Despite that though, I really felt his presence, more so as the Beast though then as the Prince. When the animated movie came out I seem to recall some unintentional humor when the Prince was revealed at the end, and I think they managed to get that too... Anyway, well worth seeing it on the big screen. I'll be getting a copy for the home theater!
  13. Beautiful build and the paint is outstanding. Looks very sharp.
  14. I have that panel line wash. Comes in real handy. I used it to hit the recessed areas on my Kirishima. Nice stuff, it just flows into the recesses. That Republic Star Destroyer is looking good too! That flight of valks are coming along nice and quick. Sure to make a nice display. In fact, they look awesome just as they are! And PB, I think that launch arm'll probably be done by lunch time Sunday at the pace you're going!
  15. Speaking of using old parts... Old VCRs. If you have one, open it up and stand it on its side. Then mount your launch arm base against it. Leaving the center open to the interior will give depth and you can work the interior as a mini dio of a launch bay. If you can get hold of some 1/100 VF-1s, then that would a forced-perspective shadow box. HLJ has them for $17. https://hlj.com/product/WAVMC-55 I know money is tight, but it could be a long term upgrade for the display. Or, you could print up a picture like these, have a bit of detail at the 'front' of the display and have something like these in behind the added detail.
  16. Nice and quick progress! That'll look great on the wall. Yes, that's the one. I was very close to selling a Fine Mold 1/500 Missile Boat when I saw the image again and realized I'd better keep a hold of it! Don't know when it'll happen, but I kept the major part.
  17. That's pretty cool. Always fun seeing Adam Savage blown away! And, it's always better seeing someone takeing joy in something like this, rather than going down a troll's rant of nit-picking and complaining about something they haven't even seen yet... Thanks for the link.
