@wm cheng - Ahhhh...memoires! Yeh, that kit needed a LOT of TLC to look good. Yours is coming along great! Can't wait to see the final outcome! I remember those Acreation aztecs that were NOT pre-cut...hahaha! Good Times! I myself am in decal HELL once again with the Refit Enterprise - All saucer and main engineering hull aztecs done, just the engines left which I fear most..LOL. Round Two makes GREAT decals....until they don't. Take this morning for example, starting to put on the "hull color plating" decals that came with the kit and some other more "fun stuff" Registry, etc, etc...the damn decals that go around the rim of the saucer ALL came off the backing paper in pieces almost like they had been cut somehow by accident during the manufacturing process. I got through it, but dang, that was waaaay more stressful than it should have been! Can't remember if the Reliant's did that or not.. Pressing on! Pics later tonight or tomorrow AM.

@Firefox21That's GORGEOUS! Very nice!!!

Insert Bart eating popcorn meme here....

@Drow I'm 99% sure that's the little "bonus" SDF-1 that came with all the old Arii Zentradi ship models. I built a few of them as a kid and still have a few lying around somewhere. I built the Zentradi ships again about 10 years ago and built one little SDF-1 to keep with them. Some of the others I've used as parts for things that needed extra "greeblies" parts. I used the Daedelus as a bench seat in my Bandai AT-AT so I could sit a 2nd row of drivers in the head. @nightmareB4macross - I think his is to small to be the 1/8000 kit.

@Goodman Models - Suuhhhweeet!

NEVER a bad idea!!!!

1/1000 Enterprise A Refit Aztecs 80% done!

I just went to order Kiki Joint Fix for that exact reason and the stuff is like NOWHERE to be found other than EvilBay! GRRRRrrrrrrr

Buuuuusy Sunday morning at the paint / model benches! Submarines all at next level on paint , Enterprise A painted to next level and I built Zentradi feets!😁 All under the watchful eye of my model helper...

That's really cool!

@Mog TRUTH.🤬

Thanks @no3Ljm & @Froy - having a hard time pulling the trigger on these now though, I want to support HM-R all the way, but dang, that's basically what I paid for my Max and Kaki Yamato 1:60 Ver2's of these back in the day, which I still have and have customized on display. Display space is becoming a huge issue for me these days as I'm sure it is with others around here...

Been swamped with work...Did I miss pre-orders for Max and Kaki???

Nice job!

It DOES look good I gotta say!

I've had dozens of packages shipped from Japan/China and inside the US to me way down here in TX. I have NEVER received a damaged package, so that theory doesn't really hold water does it?

Considering our numerous options of the past 35+ years, I'm NOT complaining one little bit at this point.....

LOOOOVE IT!!!!

Well I needed another break from starships and submarines today and I'm fighting off a sinus infection from working outside most of last week, soooo... What's this??? 🤔 A MACROSS model kit on my desk for the 1st time in about a million years?! 🤣 Now I've NEVER built a Hasegawa kit before... ever....so here we go. 1st impressions, WOW... I know this a new 2023 mold but damn, the plastic just feeeeels hella good and high quality. Much to my surprise...ALL of the parts that matter are UNDERGATED! Which to me means only one thing... You can paint 99% of this thing on the sprues!! NIIICE! I just put the two halves of the radar array together and I must say I'm impressed. Is it Bandai Star Wars kits level perfect fit???....no....but it's damn close and praise doesn't come any higher than that. Anyone with a good pair of nippers a tiny bit of sanding stick and a little cement could build this very easily. One wouldn't even have to paint it really if you were a beginner. Now I'm looking forward to building my new Regults eventually! Bravo Hasegawa!

now THAT gives me hope! 😍

I'm ALL in for part two at home when the wife's out and I can crank up the sub!

I'm ALL in for a Max and Kaki!

I really wanted Storm Shadow and a Cobra Trooper of two, maybe the Baroness in black. Always liked the bad guys better!
