  1. Ok, I convinced myself I was 99% out of the toy game, but man, I'm going to have to reconsider jumping back in on a re-release of the Legioss and Tread! I have all the Toynami's from back in the day, but man, this looks amazing!
  2. Hahahaaha! Man, you gotta love Basara. He was a douche, but he could hold his own in a fight, kick ass when needed, put the girls in their place, and fly the hell out of the FireValk like nobody's business!
  3. Ohh man, this one just hits different. I just re-watched the Big Bang Theory episode last week where Sheldon and him hang out all day. "I like Star Wars too!" "Your friend Leonard sounds like a weenie!" Classic JEJ. You will be missed sir. R.I.P to the GOAT! 😢
  4. New "easy and quick" project... LOL.. 2018 Academy 1/72 A-10. Well..... Apparently 2018 Academy ain't modern Academy... Wow... What an absolutely horrible fitting kit just on basic build up.. The cockpit tub and main bottom wheel well/fuselage part were just terrible. I tried every trick I know and this was the best I got. yesterday after like an hour of trying. Sooo.. Yeh... Lots of sanding and putty and seam work in my future unfortunately.. Uhhggg... So much for quick and easy... 🤔 🙄 😂
  5. Hi guys, reporting in with the Academy 1/72 FA-18F finally done. Nice kit, no pilots included, these are PJ Productions resin pilots. My first time scraping and polishing the center canopy seam, but it turned out great. Also closed up the gear for an in flight look. Kit did not offer that option. Wanted this one to look like a carrier based very used and abused aircraft. Long time finishing up this one due to life struggles but I'm proud of myself for finishing it up and on my 49th BDay today. Now on to the Bradley, SR-71, and other unfinished kits. Slowly but surely. One day at a time. 🙂 Hope you enjoy the pics.
  6. Flory's ALL the way for panel liners. The Tamiya stuff is just too risky to paint jobs for my liking. It has it's uses but only in very small areas and I've had more failures than successes with it. It cost me an entire Bandai AT-AT kit years back and that was heartbreaking.
  7. Hello guys, After what has been the absolute worst 6 months of my entire life personally, I won't go into details here, I am slowly starting to pick up the pieces of my life one at a time and I realized I have to start living my life again and doing something for me that I enjoyed in order to heal and move forward. So, this morning, for the first time in what seems like an eternity, I felt like I was ready, and I pulled out my F-18 kit and got back into the decal application for about an hour before I went to church. If praying is in your life, please pray for me for what I'm going through, I need all the help I can get. I'm going to try to finish up the F-18 and then get back to the Bradley, the SR-71, the Cat's Eye and eventually the USS Texas and everything else in the stash in the closet. One day at a time. Thank you, Wes (derex3592)
  8. I agree. I just watched it this afternoon. It's really pretty darn good. Kevin Bacon was awesome!
  9. For a 1st build, that came out GREAT! I built one years ago and it was a struggle!
  10. Amazing work! Love it! Great job!
  11. Definitely not. Zent mecha would be really beaten up.
  12. @Kurt Oh wow, man that look amazing. LOVE the mud and weathering all over!
  13. I'm in for a Fire Valk HM-R! I'm not in the M7 haters group. It's silly fun.
  14. Can't wait to see this finished up!!!
  15. Never met anyone, younger than me (48) or even older than me, (my dad LOVED the 89 Batman, RIP), that didn't like that movie. It's just one of the all time greats no matter your age. Yes, I do love the first two Nolan movies as well, but 89 Batman is just more "fun".
  16. Academy 1/72 Superhornet UPDATE.. Finally! .... Aftermarket resin pilots are painted, decaled up with some leftover micro decals from other kits for helmet markings and in the plane with no trimming required!. First Flory's grime wash is down and drying.... Stay tuned!
  17. DAMN, those two look GOOD! Wish I had the room..
