    OPEN it, panel line it, sticker it, weather it, fly it around, transform it (carefully). Have FUN with your stuff. If you have $$$ to buy multiples and keep one or more boxed up -- hey good for you!

    Looks neutral grey to me. That's coming from a model guy color fanatic.

    The white plastic spoon idea is brilliant! Best $2 I ever spent! I was forever pulling out old model parts to test paint on over and over again. This works soooo much better!

    Gentleman...and ladies..if there are any..LOL...I give you..the color! It's a 4 to 1 mix of Rustoleum Blue enamel (same as Tamiya Sky Blue) and Rustoleum Lagoon enamel. Both decanted from spray cans and shot through my airbrush. I know many will not be feeling my choice, but after checking and rechecking my Robotech Remastered DVDs as they are the best possible transfer I know of..I feel this is a very approximate color match for most scenes in the anime. Disclaimer....my cell phone camera couldn't get a perfect color match pic to satisfy me, flash or no flash, it's a little blue-er than it looks like. Anyways ...onward and upward!

    The weather gods smiled down on TX today and we got semi-low humidity and 80 for a high in July! Sooo..we got some painting done! White parts only--Done with Tamiya spray can TS "Pure White" and some other parts airbrushed with Model Master Enamel "Classic White". Then I decided to do an experiment. Anyone ever tried to airbrush decanted spray paint??? Guess what?? It works GREAT!!! You don't have to thin it!!! I watched a couple of quick videos on the net and tried it myself. It's so easy!!! If you wanna know how I did it, just PM me or google "how to decant spray paint". Now I can mix a lacquer or enamel blue green from spray can colors and shoot it through my airbrush! Muhahahaha!!

    Don't we all. I would have given anything to have the two coolest bikes out of the four. Bartley and Yellows.

    So glad I got the original Yamato IJ and then the grey visor armored IJ back in the day when they were first released and "cheap"!

    Looks good. Might go see this one in the theater.

    It's called Slate Blue. However, after pulling out my DVDs and checking each episode this particular mecha appears in, I'm deciding to not go with any color I've tried so far. All the pics on the net are wrong. I'm going for exactly as it is in the anime, and it doesn't really change as far as I can tell. So the hunt continues!!! More to come.

    Wish they would make the freaking armor GREY like it is in the anime!!! NOT dark blue! Then I would buy it!

    After looking around online last night, I REALLY wanted to try this color....went to three stores this AM with no luck finding it. Figures...

    The replacement Enterprise D kit along with all the lighting supplies are all nice and tucked away deep in a closet for sometime far, far in the future....when I'm feeling like I have a bit more talent.

    Well, me being me, I decided to go to Home Depot and see what colors they had to offer. There's this color...which I sprayed over a flat black primer coat... Which part of me likes better than the blue because in my minds eye in the show it was somewhere more along the lines of this. All opinions welcome.

    1st try with Tamiya TS-15 Blue spray can. Thoughts? ... I think I like it. For the price of these damn cans, I think I have to..LOL. Looks like I got a bit of orange peel as it was very humid this morning. Uhhhgggg.
