HWR MKII

Mike your freaking me out! i cannot wait to get this sucker. This will be the end all be all of macross kits from the look of it.

You shouldnt have been flying it around the room now should you Nail polish remover/acetone is a good superglue debonder, Just be careful as this can also strip your paint as most superglue debonders will

Dont let Graham see it. He will want to get it badly if he doesnt have it already. How long is it roughly? It looks amazing. I dont really like the 17 but this model makes me want one.

Rustall came on the market decades ago for train modelers. It can still be found in most train stores and even in the pages of FSM. As Kylwell has said its a multi step process done in layers. You dont have to use the salt method if you get the full kit for it. The salt method is just another way to add depth to the look of the flaking paint.

I thought it might be rustall. But you never know, I have seen sone excellent rust effects done with baking powder. MIG products also has a great rusting range too.

EXCELLENT rust Kylwell. I want to know how you did that as well. Armentage the 21 is looking real good. Thanks UN Marine. I have yet to pick up rex and finish him. i was really busy this weekend and am drained still. Great work all of you.

Bad news everyone My tiger snapped its rear track tension axle It has now been gutted for its gearboxes and sound units to get my StugIV running. I will however be getting a new tiger here shortly so all is not lost but im still miffed. It was running fine this morning and then on regular manouvers through level terrain the idler literally fell off. She had a good life and lasted longet than any real tiger on the battlefield (1 3/4 years) almost daily running. Day of mourning.

Your My Hero! Please save one for me to get when i get back from deployment in january. I do not want to miss this one.

Great now im going to have to scratch build that 1/6 scale R/C APC to go along with these.

HMMMM? Strike valk against Wing 0. Isnt that a but of an uneven advantage considering the wing0 is easily 2 to 3 times larger than the valk is in battroid mode?

Thanks Berttt now to print it out so its 1/48 scale

Destroid nut here did someone mention a Cheyenne. I love how this ship is coming along and if you were to get into the heavier armor id be darn sure to get one off you.

Its the only scale this kit should have been made in. I mean 1/160 and 1/200 WTF? This thing needs a scale to show it off not make it a desktop curiosity

It triggers heart atacks Viceland, AND the urge to run and grab the MG42 out of the armory It may only fire movie blanks but run off a belt in that and the kids will stop in their tracks Kanata ill see if i can find a YOP bottle for ya. Im actually a yank stationed over here. "Gimmie YOP me momma YOP me momma"

Its this saturday and sunday in Thetford. About 80 miles north of london. www.tankmuseum.com has directions to it if you can make it. If you cant let me know when you can maybe we can hit up a pub and compare valk notes.

He couldnt hack his way out of a paper bag

nope One will be the rare DYRL Max 1S and the other will be the Hikaru 1S Strike . I still want to do a Kakizaki 1A Super too. Roys 1S is overdone in 1/48 i think so i wont be doing that one.

Im still trying to finish the 2 i already have

Actually it isnt the nose thats crooked but the details on it. If you look closely the details are skewed to the right side of the nose. Both my kits have that problem. I just make sure the flat of the underside of the nose if flush and centered. The overall shape isnt symmetrical.

OOOOOOOOOOO He said the "S" word!

Grayson we are going to set up a barrier but theres always that one kid that isnt being watched. So far none have been jumped on but i still worry. I am also going to be touring the tanks through the museum as the day goes on im just going to have to be carefull. Armentage, All of the vehicles are RC even the little type82 Kubelwagen. The treads are link and pin just like the real things. these tanks can do anything the real ones can size for size, excpet shoot of course thats illegal.

550 is around 1/3 of the 1500 dollars being asked for it by hobby shops in the states.Id say go for it. Most shops online are just now getting their prices fot it below the 1,000 dollar mark.

Thanks guys, im just worried about little children. For some reason they like to run up to the models when im useing them and then start JUMPING all around it. When that happens i ust bring the model straight to me and shut it off. Jade both the Leo and the Tiger1 are the full function ones and worth every penny. I got all these off ebay at 1/3 the stateside asking price.

Good work Armentage and Jade. I used to have that same vinyl kit when Elfin bootlegged it. Right now each of these is getting a full day on my workbench getting checked out and cleaned up as it were. Im getting them ready for a public demonstration at the East England Tank Museums reopening. Just the usual tank maintenance, Lube, slack adjustment on the tracks, check for wear and damage, and some minor annual paint retouching.
