  1. Never met anyone, younger than me (48) or even older than me, (my dad LOVED the 89 Batman, RIP), that didn't like that movie. It's just one of the all time greats no matter your age. Yes, I do love the first two Nolan movies as well, but 89 Batman is just more "fun".
  2. Academy 1/72 Superhornet UPDATE.. Finally! .... Aftermarket resin pilots are painted, decaled up with some leftover micro decals from other kits for helmet markings and in the plane with no trimming required!. First Flory's grime wash is down and drying.... Stay tuned!
  3. DAMN, those two look GOOD! Wish I had the room..
  4. Thank you @wm cheng. It's just little scrap pieces of foam from my work. Extra "plucking foam" from Pelican cases. We have quite a bit of it lying around.
  5. Primary painting done on the Superhornet. It's hard to tell in the pics but the blotchy under pattern juuuust shows through. Took my time to try to get it juuuust right. The resin after market pilots literally dropped in like they were made for the model! No chopping of feet, legs or butts! 😁 I got them painted up pretty good for 1/72. Pretty happy with this build so far.... BUT.... the now DREADED Academy decals are coming up.... Uhhhgggg..... Which is sad because decaling is usually really fun for me. We shall see...
  6. @Kurt - That's looking really good!!! @MechTech - IMPRESSIVE.......Most impressive...
  7. This one...1000% goes into the category of "IF I HAD TONS OF EXTRA MONEY TO BLOW, YEH I'D BE ALLLL IN" That looks REEEALLLY effin cool!!!
  8. The TomyTec model Valks WERE and STILL ARE some of the best things I've EVER put together! They weren't cheap, but MAN were they extremely well done!!! I wished they had made a million more mecha from SDF all the way through Delta even!
  9. LOVING this so far!!! One of my ALL time favorite mecha designs!
  10. derex3592 <<<<---- THIS GUY! LOL! Yehhhhh...Good luck @Urashiman. I've still got it sitting on my desk at work as a paper weight. The next "better" small boxy version failed after only a few uses. It's ALL utter CRAP from China
  11. @505thAirborne That Black Widow looks GREAT!!! 😁 Over here today I'm adding in some brown before I try thin coats of some greys for base color... Stay tuned.
  12. I LOVE IT!!!! BRING IT ON!!!! AND THE REST OF THE 15TH SQUARDRON!! WHERE'S MY HOVER CYCLE???!!!!
  13. @Urashiman - They were a Christmas gift, so I don't know off hand, but take a look at this website, these might be far better and flexible, not to mention probably cheaper! https://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/280-airbrush-stencils AK Interactive maybe? Maybe @Rock can chime in here....
  14. My wife is gonna GO NUTZ for this!
  15. @wm cheng - Thanks, will check that out! @Rock - Ahh, good points! I'll try those tips on the Tomcat!
  16. Well....the little brass breakup pattern stencils didn't turn out quiet as easy to use as they were in my head but I guess it looks ok... Dunno.. Still undecided if I wanna keep it or strip it off and do my freehand marbling method like I did on the subs.... The problem was keeping it flat on the complex curves and angles all over the plane.
  17. I don't believe the Matchbox SDF-1's had the cutouts in the tops of the legs where the little missiles fired out of, (at least mine didn't from what I remember) I think they thought American kids would swallow them and choke https://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/sdf1_battle_fortress
  18. I'm STILL kicking myself for letting my Yamato 22 Gamlin go years ago....😞
  19. You begin to think you might just have some modicum of talent...then @MechTech posts an update....then you crawl back under your model table and begin to re-think your life....😂
  20. OMMMMFFFG!!!!
