    Hey @sqidd. I would just wipe down the parts and get any greasy fingerprints off them, I don't know if there's really a need to prime them honestly, I guess you can if you want. I recommend Tamiya TS 6 Matte Black Spray. It's about $7 a can at HobbyTown USA. One can should do you good for SS parts in 1:48. It's overpriced at Amazon IMHO. Let me know if I can help with anything else!

    Yeh, that's odd, I thought the Luca was believed to be rock solid release, if you were into the 171's. Hopefully it was just that one.

    Ha! Same story here!

    Nope. Number one, I don't trust Eaglemoss that much, going to wait for some in hand reviews before I buy. 2nd, just plunked down cash for the wife a new lease car, so spending is curtailed for now especially with this stupid virus situation.

    That's one of the best XL's so far I think. I'm praying they hit a home run with Ent J XL. That's hopefully going to be my 1st XL.

    I always wished I'd had the means to get another two King Crabs to do the purple and the odd "cannon fodder" version...

    @tekering did you ever get Blueberry and King Crab? If so, do you have pics??? Those two were my favorite Invid build ups.

    I just went with Messer with supers and the 31A. Guess I'm in the minority.

    Yeeeeh....if by curious you mean absolutely horrible. I mean seriously, what WERE they thinking?!

    That's gorgeous!

    I think I may have to cave in and order the STD Section 31 Drone. I don't watch STD, but that is just a wicked looking ship. Also want to pull the trigger on the XL Ent J, but am going to wait for the reviews in hand before I do because well...Eaglemoss..LOL.

    After seeing @tekering's outstanding build the of the Gnerl, I would LOVE to see your build ups of the Crabs. Are you going to partake?

    Cool! Might have to keep a lookout for that on the For Sale thread. I always hated how the thing looked in cruiser mode, even as a kid, but in Attacker mode, that's a whole other story!

    I now have a new found hatred for you @sqidd. GREAT addition!!! I had mine since childhood but sadly about a year ago both his arms snapped off moving him out of my display case. Plastic had just gotten to brittle over time.

    @arbitHonestly, the absolute best I've found is the the Tamiya TS-13. It's not cheap and the little cans don't last terribly long, but a couple of coats of that and let it dry for 24hrs is the best I've come across. Quick, easy to control, and solid as a rock. I feel airbrushing clears for the purposes of protecting things from weathering and panel lining is just to thin hence your issues, which I've experienced, that's why I started laying it down with spray cans only. EDIT --- I fear anything Krylon as well!!!

    Well....as per usual, things were going a little toooo smoothly..LOL. I jinxed myself thinking "Oh, I'll be able to finish up the Ent C today!" Yeeeh.... right. So I can't actually tell you what happened, but I think I need to press PAUSE on that new Home Depot Gloss clear coat over Tamiya Acrylics. Lacquer Tamiya TS sprays aren't affected at all by it. However the blue for the warp nacelles was airbrushed Tamiya Acrylic Sky Blue. After I brought it in from the garage I noticed it looked like I had lightly misted grey over the blue somehow. Now the blue was painted 7 days ago and not touched until today when I hit with the Gloss coat, so I'm assuming some kind of funky chemical reaction happened to the Tamiya Acrylic when the gloss coat was applied. You can actually see it in the picture above on the left one. Anyways, ok, whatever, remask and respray the blue, no biggie. Did that, then went to decaling. No, I didn't seal the blue this time, because I didn't want a repeat of that. So the top engine decals were a little to big and the extra film folded down onto the blue Tamiya later in the afternoon and stuck down without me seeing it happen. UHHGGG. So now I've scraped off the excess decal and will now have to RE-MASK and RE-SPRAY the blue for the nacelles a 3RD EFFING TIME. But not today. I'm out. . P.S. The warp engine decals for the C are by far the hardest yet. Uhhgg... Hindsight being 20/20 I should have cut them into a million little itty bitty bits and trimmed them all to fit but for F*CKS sake, you don't KNOW that they aren't going to fit and lay down right until you have them on the fracking model and then it's to late! Sorry...rant mode OFF.

    Looking good Thom. Over here decals are 100% done on the drive section, engines are painted and together and gloss coat is going on before I decal the engines later today. I switched to cheaper gloss coat from Home Depot instead of Tamiya... I just can't afford it anymore. Nothing bad to report so far.. Just gotta spray it carefully, it's much easier to lay down to much if you're not quick.
