  1. He had the best ride of all starfighters. Godspeed.
  2. @wm cheng I guess what every 5th-gen fighter modeler has to realize is that it's much easier to paint & mask the light edges before the main camo than the other way around. I fell into the same pit when I built my J-31 😅
  3. For the gold inlays I used water based gold gouache. You can just wipe away any spill with a wet fingertip. I got the color scheme from the old Volks kit sculpted by Takehito Ikushima that is pictured in the Mortar Headd Saga book. If you don't already have it, grab it ASAP – it will fuel your Mortar Headd inspiration for years.
  4. I started my FSS path with the Wave 1/144 kits (when they were pretty affordable). Basic skills like sanding & puttying aren't different from plastic models. You need to figure out the joint positions of the limbs and secure the connection of parts with wires, but the later is actually fun IMO. Wave's A-Toll is a great kit: Not too many parts: Step 1 - Assembly: Step 2 - Paint everything in the desired color: Step 3 - Success!: If you are eyeing a specific kit, feel free to ask for additional info.
  5. Concept art by dofresh (Ronan Le Fur):
  6. I recently finished the Deer Stalker R x R (from the Iron Saga game), an earlier kit from the Moderoid line Along with the Moderoid Thunderjaw I built last year, it's one of the coolest pieces in my collection.
  7. @Papa Rat Haha, I got the Workshop Cast Kan in a rush of megalomania 10 years ago, and it's a true Boss Level kit. Adjusting the free-pose limbs is a science in itself, then apply a spotless finish on all those large, plain shells, and at the end there are 100 tiny orange squares to be filled but only after you filles the little grey squares right next to them. For me, Nagano peaked in the Plastic Style era; I can't seem to warm up to any of the later designs or the Gothicmade creatures. The recent makeovers of the older MH designs is a pleasant development.
  8. @Papa Rat That would make a nice dio or display pair on the shelf. I wish you luck. Here are more pics of the Blood Temple; it's hard to shoot in the sparse December light. I took some inspiration from the Kaiyodo version of the Blood Temple – the color is grey/orange instead of white/red, and the outer shoulder armor and the fins on the back are angled downward. It's not the flashyest design, but it has a great presence, especially if you listen to the Shogun soundtrack while you apply the final touches.
  9. @Papa Rat See you in Kastepo 😁
  10. RVF-11 + launch arm = double awesomeness

  12. Nooo, you must finish the Sea Vixen first! 😄
  13. Just be happy you get an extra large boxart.
  14. @F18LEGIOSS2 Goodsmile has a Europe-based shop: https://goodsmileeurope.com/collections/moderoid They're a bit behind the schedule, so you have to wait a little longer, but you avoid customs & intercontinental shipping.
  15. Great execution of this great kit. My minor gripe with the design is that the head camera part should have chamfered edges.
  16. This is totally on my workbench. Please ignore the Nanobanana watermark 😜
  17. Dragonar with lo-vis-ish paintjob by Naoki:
  18. That are some wild seams to clean up 😅
