    The set of 7 Enterprises becomes a sadistic mission to finish them at some point no matter what....you HAVE to keep going, because you keep thinking to yourself, man, this is gonna be SOOOO cool if I can only make them look half way decent! They are a bit of a rabbit hole to go down.

    Any of you guys ever heard of or tried this method? I'm gonna try it!

    I really wish Arcadia would reissue this bird with the fixed leg. It's SO gorgeous! Great job Lolicon!

    @peter - free bit of advice...if you have any red left, mask off and airbrush the red front bussard collectors on the E. The red decals suck for those. I wish I had done it. I airbrushed the saucer impulse engines red which looked great and I wished my red on the nacelles would have been the same. Just my .02.

    Absolutely incredible work sir! I have to agree, this might be the best looking one yet! I can't wait to see @tekering crank these out in different colors!

    @MechTech - Don't let your eyes deceive you, all that white isn't necessarily putty, a lot of if is paint/primer sludge that is slowly coming off. For one of Cap's older kits, the fit was honestly very good. Also keep in mind this was puttied probably TWO YEARS ago, and I sucked at putty then, and I suck at putty now, just a little less so now!

    @rocketblast - I don't clear coat anything I do on toys. I use Flory's clay based grime wash for the 1J. I used Dark Dirt for years, but on the lighter colored Valks, grime is better IMHO, not as dark. You have to go over the lines twice, but it's fine to handle without clearcoat and the wash is down in the panel lines.

    ahhh, superglue, it's such a blessing and a curse! Cursing is just part of modeling. I said a few choice wirtyderds myself this weekend! "Let's try thinning Tamiya Liquid primer with lacquer thinner and airbrushing it on the deck of the USS Fort Worth so it won't cover up all my hard work on the tiny PE! It worked great for the guy who did it on YouTube!" Yeeeehhhh....about that. It does work, however, you have to thin the ever loving crap out of it to get it to spray good. Despite my best efforts it still laid down rough in spots so I stripped it off and said screw primer, I'm just gonna paint the plastic. Used Vallejo Model Air - I have to say, that paint is phenomenal! No mixing, straight into airbrush and BAM! perfect mix to paint with and it has NO smell. Not even a whiff of anything. Not that I mind the Tamiya acrylic smell, but the Vallejo is better IMHO. Work continues on the Runabout warp nacelles, sanding and filling, filling and sanding..uuhhhhghhh....and then there's the hour I dedicated to working on stripping the disastrous primer/paint mix off the Cat's Eye. Slowly but surely! Onwards and upwards, maybe by 2022 I'll have something finished! @peter- I agree with you on the Ent C - I left it alone. Just so you know, the warp engine decals on that one and the E are some of the most challenging! @electric indigo- Love the paintjob! Great work! @MechTech - Soon you'll be making those guns really shoot tiny projectiles! I can see it now! Amazing work!

    I wanted it to be a really good and funny movie. The world could use that right now. We didn't get it. I refuse to waste my time watching it after all the bad reviews I've heard from friends who did. Hollyweird can suck it. They couldn't come out with anything new, original or even half as good as they did back then if someone had a gun to their head.

    @Special Sauce - Welcome! Glad you have found MW! To get right to the point, the HM-R line is fantastic. A lot of people here tend to agree the non-transforming mecha are the best of the line, but the Valks are no slouch either. It is certainly the most complete in scale line of Macross made to date. Although there are some notable holes in the line unfortunately. I highly recommend checking out anymoon.com for @jenius's reviews of all things Macross. HM-R is an addictive line, everyone will agree on that!

    @peter - Dude, if you want my advice, sand down the D. You'll thank yourself when you do the decals! I did and had zero regrets. I agree, the B is my least favorite and I cared least about making it look good. At least your engines aren't molded crooked! . I'm enjoying watching your progress! Looking great so far!

    Can a MOD please change the name of this thread to "So Apparently, There IS love for Southern Cross!"
  20. derex3592
    Yes..you do want one. I've built two, one back when I was a kid that was lost/thrown away when I left home, and one as an adult and it now is in my Macross display cabinet. It remains, incredibly, sadly, the most proportionately accurate TV SDF-1 model kit to be made.... Whyyyyy a company hasn't done a newer one???...we can only speculate.
  21. derex3592
    It's an Invid Bioroid! That's why it's purple!
