  1. I use a small block of wood that I put on the desk, then place the sprues on top in a way that the wood supports the spot where I cut the part. That is especially helpful if you cut clear parts like aircraft canopies.
  2. If you had doubts that Bandai could ever rival the Fine Molds kits (like me), look at this expertly painted Bandai X-Wing:
  3. ESA not only makes comet chasing space probes, but also cool promo videos
  4. Looks like a movie prop. Great work.
  5. I think Katoki really got the feet wrong on the Deltas. They would look much better with the Zetaplus or S-Gundam's feet.
  6. I would donate my 1/72 Grace if someone _desperately_ wants to put her in his 1/60 DX.
  7. We're still waiting for Dobber's Yamato...
  8. Built big scale Yamato: http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=64907
  9. Framestore has given access to some concept art: http://framestoreart.com/2014/08/22/edge-of-tomorrow-3/
  10. Weren't there experimental shark skin coatings for civilian aircrafts to reduce fuel consumption?
  11. The people here who seriously consider buying this thing should approach John Moscato/Captain America for a new GK project. Maybe there are a few more Orguss fans who want to chime in. As an added bonus, you'll actually get something worth your money.
  12. Polished & panel lined
  13. Go for the Hasegawa kit by all means. Even if you put some effort in the Bandai VF-19, it will still look like a toy when finished (unless you go all out with it), while the Hase Battroid will look good just using glue and some paint, which you should be able to master. Here's an out-of-the-box build with a great paint job: http://www.hobbyfanatics.com/index.php?/topic/41825-hasegawas-172-vf-1a-battroid-valkyrie/ The Wave kits are ok, but seriously overpriced.
  14. That was a member of the Soloturk acrobatic team. Here's another take: Pretty nifty paintjob, btw:
  15. You might want to check just how many physical sets or partial sets were built for the prequels. I doubt that the Abrams' movie will have a significantly different ratio here, nor that it will be crucial for the quality of the movie. The actors were lost mainly because Lucas is terrible as a writer and in directing humans, and the green screen scenes didn't make it easier for them. And I'd rather have a spectacular CG scenery than a brewery standing in for a spaceship engine room.
  16. Good & quick work, Sir. I just checked this against the Hasegawa prototype, which looks a lot sleeker than the YS kit. It will be interesting to see how the final kit will turn out.
  17. Ladies and Gentlemen, have some Vulcan.
  18. Will you go for a weathered or factory fresh look? - First paint on the Harrier today:
  19. I bought a stash of the HGUC Unicorn decals that I can use at leisure on Katoki designs.
  20. So instead of an overpriced F-16 derivate the JSDF will develop an overpriced F-22 derivate?
