    I got a reply from HLJ "We have no plans to suspend selling Bandai kits of any kind overseas, and intend to fill all Bandai and Gunpla orders we receive. We don’t have any changes to report regarding this, but rest assured we will let you know if anything changes in the future." Makes you wonder what's up at Hobbysearch?

    That's a very elegant nostalgia color! _ Meanwhile, back in space:

    There's new Eva in town: 47 cm, 16.000 Yen (without the stand and the weapon) Hadn't Meng once announced an epic vaporware line of Star Wars kits?

    To my knowledge, Kawamori designed (at least) the Minerva, Fighter 1, Harpy & Siren, the Galleon tank, the Cordoba, and Dongo the robot. I wouldn't rule out some of the pirate ships, Crusher Joe is really jam packed with mecha stuff.

    Guess who designed them...

    It's Crusher Joe month! Looks great, that's exactly the level of weathering that I have in mind for my kit.

    @MechTech That's a fine looking Harpy, even moreso since it was achived from the unpainted plastic! I have Norma's ride in limbo since I can't decide between a shiny new Ferrari look or a filthy space pirate post-soviet junkyard style. Speaking of space pirates – let's crush some:

    Space stuff ahead.

    I admit I was fairly impressed by the handheld camera look of the Geonosis battle at that time.

    Great finish, I like the color palette and the degree of weathering.

    @Big s The kit is well engineered, but comes with it's own challenges: The way the joints are designed, you're better off if you paint all parts separately (you'll also profit from the color separation that way), but then you'll have to be extra careful not to mix left and right parts (and the differences are very subtle sometimes) when putting things together. I also recommend not to deviate from the sequence of assembly given by the instructions. Due to the tight tolerances, it's very difficult to pry the parts apart once you made a mistake. Widening the joints with a file also helpt to improve mobility and ease the assembly. @Rock If you click on any of my embedded pics, it will take you to my flickr. I also got around to set up a Twitter account for my modeling activities. The V-Siren was painted with Tamiya acrylics as usual. I used gloss paint without additional clear coats; some of the larger areas, especially on the shoulders, were polished with Tamiya compound. The kit dates back to 1995, it has a slightly complicated history with a struggle between sculptor, producer, and distributor, and as a result, as I understand, was never properly licensed, so it's not visible in the MH publications. Volks released a somewhat lumpy 1/144 version.

    A rare & pretty wild kit was finished by Katsuyoshi:

    There's more today:

    @Thom do you mean Tekkaman Blade or the V-Siren? It's from Five Star Stories, and there's more of it here. Info is on Gears Online.
  23. electric indigo
    You must have missed this shiny blue boy then Since the Tekkaman Blade design is already pretty flamboyant, I figured I might as well go full candy coat on it. The Wave kit's quality is great, but some parts need a lot of pressure to go into the final position, so watch out for your paint.
  24. electric indigo
    Tekkaman it is!

    That's it for today
