It's a DIORAMA creepy weirdo...get it straight...lol
-
Thanks! I actually did!! Finally!! New kind of primer at Home Depot...same kind as before, but says "now bonds to plastic". Did 3 to 4 more coats of that over the weekend and she is now light blocked. Pain in the ass though. Gonna airbrush base color this weekend hopefully.

After months of trying to figure it out, I finally made a base for my fine molds millennium falcon model... All materials were less than $20 total. Little tiny stormtroopers were $15..all in all... I call it a win.. :-). Just need to get an acrylic cover for it at this point and I will be done.

That's what I thought!!!

I still need a green Beta....

What's the fur hat on the stormtrooper helmet?????

Those Hornet's look great! On another note...I need help guys.....I've been trying and trying to get my clear Enterprise D "lightblocked"enough to not see light through any of the hull sections. Obviously I can ONLY paint on the outside of the hull...so here's what I have done so far--doing light coats as to not to obscure any surface detail. 1. Model Master Flat Black enamel first--airbrushed on..That did squat. 2. Coat after coat of grey rattlecan good quality primer--This helps but still NOT good enough. 3. 2 coats of the actual hull color on top of ALL the rest of this..Model Master Light Ghost Grey enamel--airbrushed on--STILL not quite good enough.. Now the guy who's build I'm following--"Trekworks" on Youtube claimed he "just used 2 coats of black and then his base coat"..yeeeeeeeehhhhhhh.......ok dude.. ANY IDEAS??? I can post pics later tonight to try to get my point across...

Glad it worked out! I love this thing in battroid mode!

Well...I tried spraying some paint thinner through my airbrush as a test..and I can definitely smell thinner at the end of the tube.and I can feel a slight whiff of air at the end of it...not much but enough I think. I'm gonna actually try to paint some Sunday so we shall see.

Finally bought a medium size spray booth and then made myself a ventilation system yesterday on my day off. Thought I would share...hopefully now I can make some headway on my Enterprise D. Light block covering an all clear model is turning out to be a pain!!!

LOL!

My 21 and 22 Gamlin both don't like to stand up on glass shelves very well at all. I liked the Yamato stand the old 21 came with..but I guess I was in the minority...
-
Yes. That is right. Apparently going backwards is uber bad. LOL. All I can say is the first time I kept messing with it and then it just kind of "happened"...LOL..sounds like a date I had once.. ohhh,,,,and if you're not bleeding from your fingertips yet from all those damn pointy bits....you haven't done it right...(not kidding..as careful as I was, one of them got me good enough to draw first blood).
-
Ok..you guys have peaked my interest...I'm gonna listen to it this weekend.

I feel your pain!!! This is BY FAR the most annoying part of this toy. I messed with my 17D for damn near an hour trying to get those hip bars rotated and NOT scratch up or dent or break anything. I've done it 3 times now and it hasn't gotten any easier..the only trick I've learned is kinda use the weight of the leg itself to help swing the thing around...(I'm sure you know this, but make SURE you're going the right direction with it or you will gouge the hell out of the plastic) It's hard to explain how to do it..but I can see why people say the 17 was kind of a step back in design after the awesomeness of the 19's. Good Luck. Maybe someone else has a helpful hint...

Dang....good prices on the 11B, the YF-21 and a fire sale on the Gamlin 22! $93! Ouch!! That stings. Lol

Star Trek Into Darkness, in theaters May 17, 2013
derex3592 replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
You know....I grew up watching TNG and originally HATED the Ent. D. But over the years I've come to like it. It's big and luxurious looking. Like a giant space cruise ship kind of. More about crusing around the galaxy and taking important people places. I've built the model twice as a teenager and I'm building another one now (my first attempt to light up a starship!) but I gotta say, the E is waaaay more sleek and battle ready looking. I built that model to and gave it to a friend years ago..(wish I hadn't now). -
For what it's worth my 65+ year old mom went to see it and loved it! . SCREW Rotten Tomatoes rating system! LOL! I'll probably wait for RedBox. and IMHO...3 and 4 were better than 2 as well..but I don't hate 2. It had a great cast.
-
LOOOOOOL!
-
I think I'll keep your 1st hand made/painted version --- I'm sure it will be worth more $$$ 50 yrs from now!
-
what he said!
-
I'll do one in 1/60 for sure!
-
It's shiny enough to be cool, but not shiny enough to be off-putting IMHO.

The F is just sex on wheels...errr...wings...lol...
