    Been there for the first happy day being 'adopted' by the four-legged overseers all the way to the last... We know the highs and lows right along with you.

    The thing is, we (I) can get so reliant on one service that I stop shopping around at other places. There's an ebook I bought just a short while ago on Amazon and looking around, I found and downloaded the epub for free. Not that I'm going to do that a lot, I'd rather pay for a book and give the author their due, but a free version of a book I've already bought? Okay. I should also shop around at Barnes and Noble as well, though I do stop in their local store every week.

    @derex3592 Have fun with the compressor - after the remodelling! Should be all good and worth it in the end though. @pengbuzz Once again a cool build from PengYards! Just keep making your dreams a reality! @arbit You (and the Scion) did a great job! Hearing the opening soundtrack in my head. As to my project, I was able to mate the Tamiya intake trunking/nose gear well with the Hasegawa cowling. Was a bit of work with cutting and sanding and testing and adding back plastic... Not a good shot, but it is now a lot deeper than the Hasegawa part. Then I did a test fit and... uh oh... oh no! Somewhere in all the cutting and hacking, and a bent wing, the true went out the window! I stepped back from it for a night to thunk on the matter, then popped the Hasegawa 'insert' out from the belly and reglued it. It is now proud on one side and shamed on the other, but the inlet is more in-line as to what it should be. I'll need to 'adjust' its mating surface to take care of the rest - and then fill in that big depression on that one side and sand down the other... Just parr for the course I guess. Thom

    Not totally my cup of tea, but...

    I have bought a lot of ebooks but very seldom their paper copies (when available.) I think from now on I'll use Amazon for the preview and buy the paperback (when available) or hunt for the e-title elsewhere. They want to eff around? Okay.

    The Kairos, please!

    I did not read much of the comic, but is she called Spider Gwen, or is that just the title?

    But Bat Bruce and Iron Tony sound lame! /s

    Just FYI for those not aware, on Feb 26, Amazon will be removing the Download Option on their Kindle. This option allows you to download the ebook you have bought onto your personal computer. Without it, they can adjust content of a book you have already bought or, as has happened in the past, delete the book entirely from your Library. Have fun getting a refund... If you haven't already, I'd suggest downloading your favorites now. Personally, I've started moving back to physical media (paper books) just for the joy of them, but being abkle to keep what I have purchased is a nice bonus. A good saying I came across on youtube is, "If Purchasing is not Owning, then Piracy is not Stealing."

    RIP Shadow.

    I need a live-ation Gwen Stacy series!

    I do prefer the movier version Meltrandi ships. I like those sharp, sleeker angles. I always figured they were that way because the gun pods, when belly mounted, were 'grip-up' so the logo was correct in that orientation.
  15. Thom
    I don't recall if these ships were used in OG Macross or just in the follow up series? https://macross.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Meltrandi_Mecha

    Sorry for your loss @MechTech. He sounds and looks like he was the goodest boi! He brought you many happy memories, and I'm sure you did the same for him.
  17. Thom
    Suble and yet very notable differences. Very nice! @electric indigo That's a smooth looking finish!
  18. Thom
    I would love for them to do that. I still have some of the older ships kits that I still need to put together.

    Pair of grungy bois!

    Impressive print! As for size, it doesn't look too off, I don't think. I found this size chart in Pinterest. One thing I'd note is that the drive section/legs look smaller than they should. Or, the arms/flight decks are oversized, which looks more likely when comparing the Frontier's legs to the Macross.

    That was a good movie. I liked the mystery of the Gorge and wondering where it came from and thought Taylor-Joy and Teller had some real good chemistry.

    IDK, I think KITT would find the Delorean to be too stupid to hack.

    Another cool build coming across the Desk of @pengbuzz!

    Wish I could say I was trailblazing!😄 https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/builds/rm/build_rm_5206.shtml As to parts placement, I'm just worried the big items, like the gun muzzle and the placement of the main gear well. The Tamiya kit is going to donate the new muzzle and I'll have to cut a hole for it along the back edge of the canopy on the Hase nose, and I'm thinking, after having cut off the rear of the Hasegawa's lower fuselage, that I can put it in all-in-one without needing to cut it up any further. Then it'll be a few sessions of cleaning up the new joins.🤣

    On my table is a bit of conversion work. Over the years I have managed to get a hold of two of the old Monogram F-16XL kits, and have thought about putting them together. Now there is an F-16 GB going on Britmodeller and so I offered that up for the sacrifice. After a false start where I ruined inscribing the kits raised lines (and discovered that said lines were fictitious anyway) I restarted with cutting out the kit's nose and central body and replacing them with one cut out from a D-model Hasegawa kit. (The first try was with a Tamiya CJ, but the sublime detail on that is really too good for the Monogram parts and that brand new kit will now be a part's mule for the build.) So yeah, three kits going into one, as I will be using the Tamiya cockpit/gear and wells/burner can in a Hasegawa body mated up to Monogram XL wings... Gonna be a Frankenplane. What would that be called? Tamasegram? Hasamiyamon? Montamegawa..?) Anyhoos... Parts cut and inserted and waiting for clean-up and refining. (...pssst, and repositioning the gun further back...) Thom
