  1. @arbit those figures look great! Welcome back to the bench! @Chas those battroids look really good! Always liked that look. Over here today it's only in the 90s SO we got some MRP Sea Blue down on the Texas deck this morning (it's a LOOOT darker than it looks in that pic) and working on priming the good old TOS Enterprise. Stay tuned!
  2. Yes, both of those are great. Two of my all time favorites though have to be in the 2nd Q episode where Q is quoting Shakespeare to him in the ready room and Picard comes back with his "Oh I know Shakespeare" speech. Also, in "Tapestry" when he gives the speech to Q about dying the man he was rather than live out the life he just saw, before Q sends him back for the 2nd time to set his past right. Third would be in "The Drumhead" when he gives his final speech to the lady on a witch hunt. On another note, wife and I finally got around to Picard, we're through Season 1 and 2 and about half way through Season 3. Full report coming when we finish...Although what I have to say has probably been said about a million times by now.
  3. Guys, guys, guys, It's the REVERSE THRUSTERS optioned out Super Parts!!! COME ON MAN!
  4. YEEEESIR!!! Will be getting one for sure and doing the green TV scheme! I don't know what the minor differences between TV and DYRL are and I really don't care! Awesome news!
  5. I'm all in for a TV cannon fodder! But I'd be severely tempted by an Elint Seeker in 1:48.....it's never been done...
  6. @MechTech Man you are amazing! That's SO cool! Bench updates! The 1:72 HobbyBoss F-5E is finished. Not a great kit. It looked super easy but in reality it wasn't. Lot of filling and sanding work. Then when it was 98 percent finished kitty got a hold of it and mangled one of the missile launch rails... Dragged the whole freakin model off the desk and broke off the engines and a rear aileron. Uhhggg. So I managed to fix all that and I also learned that doing 3 color cammo free hand with an airbrush is a minefield! I'm just not that good yet! Cammo stencils moving forward or rolled up blue tac! Took forever to get it to look close to right. Also paint test yesterday for the USS Texas... 2 Mission Models acrylics and two MRP lacquers. Also got the first 12 photoetch railings on the Texas superstructure. Last but not least, the Lockheed Martin Skunkworks has been busy in secret.... EDIT: I need to get a better picture of my desert base, I made it up this morning for $8.50 from Hobby Lobby...It's got aluminum foil as the desert floor so it looks like wavy sand. I was going to use my Tamiya snow effect stuff but it had turned to stone in the bottle years ago I guess. The rocks were model railroad outcropping rocks for $4. I painted the whole thing with 3 colors of acrylic paint through the airbrush.
  7. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DOOOO it Hasegawa!!!
  8. You know sometimes it's just fun to get back to the basics... Wash model parts, airbrush straight onto bare plastic with Vallejo ModelAir and slap some cockpit decals on... Anybody wanna take a guess on the next project? 🤔
  9. You know, I'd pay good money to sit with and watch GL sit down and watch these Disney shows and give his honesty opinion right after.
  10. Episode 3 had me thinking I was watching the Luke Obi Wan training scene in the Falcon and the escape from the Death Star fight with the Tie's from New Hope extended out to thirty some odd minutes.....kinda yaawwwwn....
  11. Speaking of painting, just thought you guys might wanna see these deals on a few good quality airbrushes for WAY cheaper than usual right now! I'm tempted to get the $35 dollar one just to have!
  12. @Big sIs it just me or does the lady holding the hand of the kid next to that sign remind you of Minmay and the Petite Cola Machine in the 1st episode of Macross???
  13. @Big s - HA! same here. Oddly enough he tested the previous model to the little black box I got and it was trash. Apparently the re-design fixed all that.
  14. It's small compared to the 1/350 USS Missouri waiting in the closet.....LOL!
  15. @nightmareB4macross - it is a fun kit so far...however....there's looooooots of fiddly very small PE to deal with on this one, and I'm not the best roller, bender of microscopic PE, we'll see how it all goes. @Big s - Ohh man, I hope you didn't buy the silver one on my recommendation....I'm gonna feel really bad if that's the case!
  16. The 1/350 Texas got a primer coat this morning....
