    Great work @peter! The Tamiya Weathering kits are nice...however...they do dry up fairly quickly depending on your climate. I try to keep mine in Ziplock sandwich bags with all the air out of them to sustain them as long as possible. @electric indigo - As always, it looks like it was made that way! Beautiful work!

    I really like the look of the Sentinel stuff, it's pretty darn perfect IMHO. Knowing Sentinel, they would engineer the crapola out of a TLEAD, even incorporating the I believe only once ever seen on screen small passenger compartment that a couple of characters were hitching a ride in at one point...then tell us the price would be $450ish

    Small Runabout update: Figure painting is getting close, it takes sooo long to do this with acrylics nowadays, miss my Model Master enamels for this. Tan/grey front section painted on the ship. Decided to pop out my custom windows and remake them later to make my life easier for painting, also I had the clear plastic slightly mar/look icky from superglue fumes when I put it all back in the box one night and left it a few days. That may present a big problem when it comes time to assemble the two halves.... May have to bust out the good old Testors orange tube glue...

    USS Fort Worth Update : This weekend I learned that you CAN put parts glued with Tamiya cement in the freezer overnight and with a little gentle xcto knife prying, you can get them apart without any damage to said parts! So I was able to fix my mistakes (don't model when you're sick) on the gun battery sub assembly! I also got the bridge painted and assembled, the hanger painted assembled, dirtied up and installed, lower hull primed and started on paint, and also started putting in the microscopic photoetch brass tie downs on the flight deck! Man that's stressful! Here's the pics!

    I think those birds look awesome! Great job with the restoration! I have an old crappy Star Destroyer kit I will someday redo. Back as a kid I airbrushed it neutral grey and dotted yellow paint around it for lights.

    Anyone who owns the Yamato Caveliers Valk can attest to the fact it DOES NOT look like those promo pics! It basically almost looks black on a shelf in normal room lighting.

    gawwwd...PLEASE NO!! Re-do the TV show properly and I'd be ALLL in! One of my all time favorite fighters was the Buck Rogers Starfighters! I can't imagine seeing those maybe a tiny bit updated and in CGI! Erin Grey was like my first crush!!!!

    @Slave IVNope, factory sealed. I already have the white Audi spyder, so I almost overlooked it. @sh9000 - I don't think anyone would go to that much trouble for a .99 Hot Wheels this new in a random Kroger in a not great part of town...I'm gonna chalk it up to a COVID era factory error.

    I unmasked my impulse grills today...window screen mesh and orange lighting gel did the trick to get a nice honeycomb effect!

    I found a Hot Wheels at the grocery store this morning that I'll bet no one has!..... I'll wait for a response.. Not gonna open it! LOL!

    Growing up in the 80's and being a HUGE Voltron fan, I remember seeing that toy in the stores as well and being like "uhhhh WTF is that?". Never wanted it as it didn't have a cartoon attached to it! The vehicle Matchbox Voltron though...I begged and pleaded with my mom until she got me all three sets...which I still have today. The size of the thing is still epic. Makes the SOC one look a little puny side by side.

    @Hikaru1234567890 Cold weather (and I mean anything below 60 degrees) is a baaaad idea for clearcoats. Trust me on this...LOL.

    I've been watching this series since Robowreck in 85, on all formats and on a lot of different TV's. Not once did I EVER think her armor was anything but red. Just my .02.
