    @Chas - Which kit is that? Finemolds? or Bandai ? 144?

    Got the Yamato V2 1/60. Easy pass for me. Never one of my favs, but good luck to all going for the DX!

    @505thAirborne Dude! That looks great! Love the subtle panel lines, what wash did you use?
  6. derex3592
    @Chronocidal - Completely 100% AGREED! Good LORD the DX just looks fugly and terrible in that top-down comparison.

    @505thAirborne Holy Cow! That's a LOT of decals! Should make that YF-23 beauty a treat to behold! Rant Mode ON -- WHY do companies NOT include 1/72 pilots these days? I mean sure, a "PRO" model maker always makes models with gear down, all hatches open, blah blah freakin blah! Well, guess what?! I wanna do gear up in flight badass looking jets WITH PILOTS! ARRGGH! So frustrating! (Not to mention the no gear up wheel door option, but I can kiiiind of understand that)...maybe..but a freaking tiny little pilot or two? IS that gonna break the bank of these huge companies?! And WHY does NO US COMPANY make anything worth a crap when it comes to model kit pilots?! Whatever....Rant Mode OFF. PJ Productions to the rescue once again, just have to wait for them to ship from FREAKIN SINGAPORE...uhhgg...Well this time I bought a crap ton of different pilots so I'm ready for all my upcoming builds for the foreseeable future anyway...Super Hornet ON HOLD until pilots show up and get assembled and painted. Uhhgg.

    I'm gonna attempt to do some very light silver chipping on some of the hard edges, but I'm not good at it. Pics I've seen on-line the Brads don't look to heavily weathered other than paint fade from the heat and being in the desert for a number of years. Nothing like WWII armor would be anyways.

    I'll believe it when I have it in my hands....🤔

    Phew----TOUGH room here! I grew up with the original just like most everyone else here, but I absolutely love the 2000's BSG! It's one of my all time favorite sci-fi shows. Been considering showing it to the wife. I loved the dark, gritty military feel of the thing. I felt like all the actors did a great job and of course Olmos was just epic. I fell in love with most all of the characters and enjoy a rewatch every few years or so. None I've ever showed it to, didn't like it! Maybe it's because I met Edward James Olmos and "Six" Tricia Helfer at a con once and they were two of the nicest people I've ever met (to this day I have never felt softer skin on a woman than that ladies hands were), ANYWAY! I welcome any new BSG!

    Having built THREE Falcons, well two kits, the FM 1/72, FM 1/144 and heavily modding and painting/weathering the giant plastic toy one that was for all intents and purposes 1/48 scale for a client some years ago, I approve of this paint job so far! I definitely became a Falcon colors expert back then! The Brad got some detail painting done today and some itty bitty tools put on while I watched some NFL playoffs!

    This mornings exercise was my 1st ever attempt to “scrape“ or remove the center seam line on an aircraft canopy. Thanks to Bob at Genesis Models YouTube channel for giving a great tutorial on how to do it and giving me confidence to take a #11 scalpel blade 🔪 to the clear plastic. Not for the faint of heart! Turned out good though. I've started paying for Eduard masks for these 1/72 kits as I love how easy it makes things masking the cockpit! F-18F is getting close to having some primer go down! 😁

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    derex3592 replied to daBlah!'s topic in Toys

    Anyone who's actually owned or owns an Arcadia VF-OS or D can attest to how good Arcadia CAN be when they try. Bandai impresses me less and less these days honestly. Mainly the DX stuff. HM-R stuff is/was really good when it came out.
  14. derex3592
    Ok,......this MIIIIIGGGGHHHHT be enough to get me back into the world of The Walking Dead. Looks pretty good.
  15. derex3592
    @pengbuzz man that's lookin GREAT!!! LOVING all the trash and newspapers and stuff!
  16. derex3592
    HMR I'm ALL in for Mac 7 Valks!!!
  17. derex3592
    I was kinda thinking the same thing.... In other news.. SNOW DAY! NO work! Free model day! Wha Wha??!! Superhornet together and ready for primer other than masking the cockpit...
  18. derex3592
    Weekend updates : Superhornet cockpit competed and more painting on the Brad. .....Yes, I know my wheels are a different color, no, I don't know why and yes, it's annoying. XF-59 Enamel and XF-59 Acrylic should have been the same color or a lot closer than that ... LOL
  19. derex3592
    That is pretty cool!
  20. derex3592
    I'm LOVING that finish!!!😍
  21. derex3592
    Still can't make out if there are opening missile hatches on top of the shoulders like there should be...

    My favs in no particular order of action/sci-fi/drama are LOST, (well the 1st 3 seasons anyway) / New BSG / Breaking Bad and of course ST TNG / DS-9. I'm curious to see if Sopranos makes the list!
  23. derex3592
    Few DECADES late but I started watching The Sopranos a couple of nights ago. Wife declined to watch with me. Loving it so far!
  24. derex3592
    I'll prob check it out in the theater. Maybe.
