    Jude Law has done a GREAT job of making me absolutely DESPISE his character, especially in the last episode! He needs his A$$ handed to him by someone with more Force powers than him for that sh*t!!! I remember a scene in Clone Wars where Asajj Ventress thought she was going own Master Yoda and he just straight up Force pulled her two sabers out of her hands over to him and was like "what now b*tch" - Something along THOSE lines would be great!

    @electric indigo - Gorgeous! I really struggled with having to improvise yellow stripes on the A-10's weapons, and I struggle with 1/72 weapons detailing period, did you mask and paint them or use water slides and somehow make them look good on a reducing radius tiny surface, because I tried that and it didn't come out great honestly...

    @MechTech Wow that's amazing! Love watching you in action! Nothing short of incredible! @pengbuzz Cool BOP! Can't wait to see you work your magic on it! Hope everyone has and still is having a great holiday season. Over here I finished up the Academy 1/72 Academy A-10. Only thing that didn't work out was somehow a tiny bit of overspray somehow got inside under the canopy. Grrr.. It's not noticeable from a foot away but still annoying. I'm guessing it got in somewhere from the bottom of the kit. Whatever. Still pretty pleased with how this turned out. Added a pilot and modified for in flight display.

    Needed a quick break from 1/72 airplanes, so I spent today on the 1/500 Yamato, man this kit is just massive! I love it. Two tiny drops of Tamiya quick setting cement so far to this point. No putty. Bandai was on their game back then!

    @Big s - Pretty much right away after applying it. Usually with a small slightly moist q-tip or just a moist finger.

    @Urashiman - Temba, his arms open --- LOL -- I see what you did there!

    Regarding the Vallejo Putty, I LOVE it. It's the only one I use anymore. Tried the Perfect Plastic Putty, Tamiya, others, and I like the Vallejo the best. It's not meant to fill the grand canyon or anything, but very small seams. Yes, there is a little shrinkage sometimes, but I always expect to have to add a little more to a problem area. You really don't have to sand it unless you just feel the need to. Apply, gently wipe off any excess with a moist q-tip and you're good to go. YMMV.

    Flory's Grime all over and panel line wash got done and decals on the A-10 were started over the weekend and went down great. Apparently 2004 Academy decals are much better to work with than much much newer Academy decals.. (The more modern F-18's were just very very difficult I think due to the much much thinner film maybe?) whatever, these go down like a dream! 😀 Pressing on!

    I'd like to add to the 1/72 aircraft updates finally... Academy A-10 painted up over the weekend, and all ordinance assembled and painted. Light Ghost Grey on the bottom and Dark Ghost Grey on the top more or less, layed down in light coats over the white on black mottling, the two greys are suppose to look more pronounced than they came out but mehh, whatever, all the online pics look like it's all about the same shade in the real world. Forgot what a pain 1/72 ordinance is.. Haha. Hopefully clear coat decals and detail painting this weekend! 😊

    Decided to pull an old friend out of mothballs early this morning..... you know... something small.. LOL. Man, let a few years go by and you totally forget about how even an 11 year old Bandai mold just snaps together perfectly, no drama at all. Amazing engineering and tooling. Not a drop of glue yet....

    Seriously!

    1/72 Academy A-10 is FINALLY getting a primer coat. Terrible fitting kit. Modded for gear up.
  17. derex3592
    That's amazing. I wish I could see how he painted and weathered it to look like that.
  18. derex3592
    @pengbuzz - BROH!!! Man, that's AWESOME! Very cool! Great job! 😃

    Anyone else think this is a big middle finger to Bandai for not EVER giving us the last two Destroids in HM-R??? Because from where I'm sitting, I'm all in for the missing two in 1/100 scale to finally have all of them in more or less the same scale!

    Man, I MISS that Valk. 🥹

    I wish I had Macross to watch on Disney +! And I wish I'd kept my Yamato 11B/C! 😞

    R.I.P, sir. Loved him in Coming To America. Also made a pretty good bad guy, put Bruce Willis in his place in Die Hard 2 a couple of times.

    As I begin the long, bittersweet process of starting to box up my Macross and other collections over the past 20 years or so in order to move forward to the next chapter of my life in a new home later next year, it becomes apparent to me just how RIGHT Yamato nailed the VF-1 with the 1/60V2 and subsequent releases from Arcadia. As I transform and box up the Bandai DX VF-1s and the Hi Metal Rs, yeh those have their place, but they all seem a bit.. I don't know... To fiddley for lack of a better term. The DX is just to big honestly. The HM-Rs are fantastic, don't get me wrong, but they have there down sides with the small size, all the part swapping and accessories. So let's just take a moment and remember the golden years of Yamato with just a few samples of never transformed VF-1 greatness that was for a time, and still might be, in my opinion anyway, the pinnacle of the Macross Valkyrie transformable toy collecting. And for those wondering, yes, the tan one is the holy grail VF-1J CF Commander's Ride with rainbow canopy in perfect condition. 😊
