  1. DOOOOOOOooooo it......all the cool kids are!!!!
  2. awwww....dude...you gotta love you some bald Captain Picard and some hotness counselor Troy or hotness Doc Crusher! I also forgot to mention.....this is my 3rd Enterprise D to build. Built 2 of the old grey AMT kits back in the day so I kiiiinda know that it doesn't fit together like a Finemolds kit...
  3. I really want to custom paint a couple of sets. I have always HATED that yucky green-ish-whatever color they are! I always remembered them as grey from the anime I thought.
  4. Well here's my next big project already started over the New Year's weekend. The AMT/Round 2 Enterprise D cast in clear plastic, and it includes ALL the Aztec pattern decals! ....and YES!....This will be my first attempt at lighting a model kit. I am using the Enterprise D+ lighting kit from Model man Tom's website. I really don't know anything about basic electronics so I'm having to learn as I go! I am following "Trekworks" Enterprise D build on YouTube. I did my first coat of black and I did get all my LEDs to light up over the weekend.... That made me very happy!
  5. I'm gonna have to pull the trigger on a 17D eventually....damn you guys...LOL...maybe I'll just get a 19F too when HLJ gets some back in stock Luv that blue and white! Screw it. who needs savings.
  6. New fast packs from HLJ. My first one in 1:60...very cool...now I want more!
  7. First time through transformation! (Thanks for the video Collection DX!) gotta say.....solid as a rock when everything locks together in battroid! This thing is sweet ! Pushing down the canopy/cockpit on mine was extremely terrifying however!!!
  8. First impressions out-of-the-box....this is Yamato's most detailed Valk I have seen to date. Feels good in hand. Good size and weight. Quality piece. Only minor nitpicks so far.... Nose gear does not lock into place like on the VF-1, and the pilot is too loose in the cockpit may have to glue him in or something. Here's some pics...
  9. yeeehh...cost of being a manager..had to do payroll for my company...oh well...need $$$ in bank to pay for stupid toy habit anyway! ...however!!! DONE now and just got home to discover I BEAT the FedEx truck! Now the waiting begins......
  10. Mine's on the FedEx truck out for delivery!!! And I'm stuck at work!! ARRRRRGGGGGHHH!!!!!
  11. I haven't yet talked myself into the McClaren....it is sooo cool though. The most I've dropped is on the Bugatti Veyron. And it is gorgeous!
  12. My Kai is like that. Damn near think I'm gonna break something every time I try to transform it it's so tight. But I would rather have it that way than loose!
  13. Got around to the watching my bluray last night I got for xmas. Very impressive picture and sound quality. The letterbox to full screen IMAX shots still bug me like they did on Dark Night, but that's a small nitpick. The picture is, in my book, downright perfect. The sound is bonecrushing and subwoofer was asking for the day off today. As far as Bane's dialog....almost could understand every word. about 2 or 3 scenes I had to rewind and put the subtitles on. (and i normally don't ever have to do that considering the B&W center channel I have). All around very enjoyable though. Didn't get around to any extras yet, maybe today.
  14. looks like it "oozes coolness" to me!!! Can't wait!
  15. FedEx shipping update from HLJ says mine will be here 1/3/13 next Thursday. Guess that's not tooo bad for New Year's weekend and all.
  16. WOOOWWWW!!!! A dad who designs AND MAKES his daugher custom lightsabers???!!!! FATHER OF THE YEAR AWARD RIGHT HERE PEOPLE! No need to look anywhere else!!! That's awesomeness!! The one Efx product I should have bought but didn't was the 1:1 Ashoka Tano saber they did.
  17. woke up to NO shipping notice yet from HLJ.....uhhhhgggg...now I'm sad.
  18. Finished this up today. It's one of the newer snap tight kits...not a great kit, but I think it came out okay. Painted with model master light grey and then gave it a serious wash with promodellers weathering dark dirt wash. Don't know why my iPad insists on flipping my pics!
