  1. Gerwalk looks freaking awesome!! I'm so pumped about this!
  2. I can't easily get Tamiya acrylics locally and I don't really care for acrylics in general. I have used them before, with good results, I just prefer the enamels for a more durable finish and ease of 1 or 2 coats vs. a million to get acrylics to cover.
  3. Well, I've had problems with a "rough" primer lay down before, but also with tape lifting off paint before to. I use Tamiya masking tape and the white paint had been layed down 5 days prior to masking it. I dunno..bad luck I guess. The order of coats was this... 1. Tamiya grey fine surface primer 2. Model Master light ghost grey enamel base coat 3. Model Master classic white enamel. Then masked for blue and the tape pulled off the paint/base coat/primer all the way done to the plastic.
  4. Tamiya Fine Surface primer. I think that's where my problem lies. It did not lay down well. I have problems getting primer to lay down smoothly, and my paint suffers because of it I think. I want my paint jobs to look smooth and even like all of Electric Indigo's do! Every time I use primer it gets me into trouble, but what choice do I have when you have to putty and sand?
  5. I cleaned it with dawn dish washing soap thoroughly....maybe I'll try Ajax next time
  6. Some progress......1 step forwards and two back....DO NOT UNDERSTAND why this happens.....uhhhgggg....
  7. I'm on board for one! Awesome!
  8. ohhhh....that's cool news! I wish someone would cast an in scale Colonial One to the Galactica...yes I know it would be tiny..but still cool. Raptor would be awesomeness and a Basestar would be epic! FYI....I meet Katy Sackoff and Jamie Bamber at Comic Con Fan Days in Dallas last weekend. My company was doing the AV for the Con. Super nice people!
  9. anybody wanna buy my double nuts Yamato?? (which secretly I still prefer that paint scheme to the Isamu tan, I think it's hideous) *ducks and runs for cover* I'm buying to support Arcadia and for the engineering coolness. Mine will definitely be sporting the green and white missiles on the left hand side...those are wicked! which by the by...does anyone know if we are getting waterslide decals along with stickers??? For this price one would hope so!
  10. That's SO lame it's actually cool!
  11. Maiden, will this fit the Yamato 19F?..
  12. Awesome work 505th!! Great job on the beast! I'm super jealous over that black viper.
  13. I would buy multiples of any and all 1:48 Invid/Inbit mecha!
  14. In a weird way that could be Hikaru's new fan racer/jet if they ever redid Macross!
  15. I'm in for anything Invid/inbit related...especially made by you Sir! ..that being said, I'd love to see a smaller scale shock trooper or enforcer first, but this guy Is super cool as well!
  16. I'm waiting for someone to take some really GOOD pictures of this thing in the real world with water slides applied so we can see what's what. DISREGARD ---just saw the pictures a couple of pages back.
  17. Man....those pre-finished Moebius kits are pretty sick...WHY did I stress over my Starbuck build for 6 weeks again??? should have just bought one..
  18. that's good enough for me. If Duke says "WOW", I'm there.
  19. Good looking couple there!
  20. Seeing those pics.....SUPER GLAD I pre-ordered this!
  21. Ohh screw it...who needs savings....pre ordered mine from HLJ. Here's hoping Arcadia gives us a new YF-21 AND A GHOST X-9!!!!! to go along with this bad boy!!!
  22. Got the nose piece on, puttied, sanded, primered, and gave the whole thing a base coat of light ghost grey....
  23. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=227&category=4545&utm_source=retail_news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=BigBadToyStore-Retail&utm_content= Looks like Moebius will be doing the original series Galactica, Viper and Raider in scale with the new series kits! Should be pretty sweet!
  24. God Bless I love MacrossWorld and the talent there is around here! Those are just AWESOME!
  25. Woooooooow! Great job once again!
