The cool part about Miriya's armor is that there is a little room on the inside for detailing. - MT

The network nazi's have this site blocked. Can you imagine that? I get a lunch ya know!? - MT

That's cool! Thanks for sharing. I need to be a celebrity and be on those shows! They get to see some cool stuff! - MT

That looks great and the lighting engineering looks great too! - MT

The armor is looking great and the hairspray idea sounds good. HMmmm, wonder what brand my wife uses... . - MT

Nice custom and an original idea! - MT

Great job with the club! Plan "B" for when ammo runs out . - MT

I bet you could find someone to do it here or at Starship Modeler! Looks great and I think a loss to Yamato! They could have done the VT and VE versions with the cockpit molds. They're all about milkin' the molds for all they're worth (don't blame 'em). - MT

The Pine Sol should be like a mild turpentine - same source for the base - pine sap. I had no idea about the power of Pine Sol. I soaked some old aircraft parts in it for restoration and it got the gunk and paint off !!! - MT

The sad part about the "lost" molds are that they are of the coolest kits! I'd love a 1/5000 SDF - again. I lost the bridge and a couple of other parts in a move on mine. The VF-2SS coming back is cool. Even though it's not canon, I still like it! - MT

That design looks like it would suck to fly; "I can't see, the guns are too big and the muzzle flash is blinding." Then again, it's hard to miss your target with that big a shell. I always thought it was a drone too. - MT

Thanks! I forgot mention I have to add the sensor and a coupler to the thermal jacket (convienant way to hide the seem). I can't wait for the Scopedog. I never got into Votoms much or bought the series, but they are a more probable design. - MT

Lookin' great everyone! I took a break from the Daedalus (for sanity reasons ) and I'm working on something fun and easy. I'm working on two Leopards - sorta. Here's the VS Tanks Leopard 2 A5. I wanted the A6, but was told it's not currently available, so... A little aluminum work from an old Airsoft barrel. The children and I had fun putting holes in paper "testing it out." The individual track links are great; too slippery on tiles though . Paint's next. The children and I are working on just snapping together a Gundam Leopard. Count the tabs and seams, because we're not cleaning them up! They're having fun building it though, and more importantly, I have family members to help "enable me" in my habit, err a hobby. I'm waiting on a 1/20 Scope Dog Red Shoulder mod from HLJ. That will be my next fun project. - MT

"WARNING - This product is known in the state of California to cause cancer" - but no where else ... - MT

Looks more awesome everyday! - MT

I'll take the cockpit model and dump Lisa (I'm already married ). Lookin' good. I think Winterdyne has a good idea - keep building the whole plane ! - MT

Looking great guys! I'm having "Kung Fu" type flash backs into the 80's . I'm eyeballing these when they're available: http://www.hlj.com/product/AOS04193 I had the PAC-48 a long time ago. Honneamise - you're still alive! How'd the massive IJN Yamato come out? Post some pic's! ce25254 - My children were drooling over the big G'man pictures! About once a week the Japanese monster movie DVD book comes out and they argue over what we're going to see. I really feel sorry for Tokyo getting smashed to pieces all the time . That reminds me, I gotta get all the Godzilla movies from 2000 onwards for my collection. electric indigo - I never saw the series. Any special points to the model. I almost bought one on looks alone. Back to my studies... - MT

It was worth the effort I would say! Looks great! - MT

That looks awesome! I think you did a really great job on it. And unlike some of us, you're actually finishing you're project! The line art you referenced I believe is for another type of lift; not an elevator as on the sides. The large U.S. amphibious ships have similar passage ways. The one in the line art has some kind of lift in the middle like a winch or tow unit it looks like. The other line art does not have those marks on the elevators. I think you're about done. - MT

Hey, where's my 1% for 1/200 scale stuff . - MT

Hey, he is still alive! Looking great! The control room looks realistic. - MT

My advice, spray it outside (even in cold weather is alright) then quickly bring it in and stick it in a closet or a room no one is using. The fumes can still be strong so make sure it's not your boiler room . I hate airbrushing, even though I have two sets. When I can get away with it, I use a rattle can. Enamels seem to hold up better to wear anyhow. Less mess and cleaning too. - MT

I've been slacking lately. I got the retract system going and have stalled a bit working on it. I'm doing some studies right now and I also got my VS Airsoft tank in from Toyeast.com. It's a Leopard 2 A5 that I'm converting to an A6. NO ONE had any A6's in stock and some one said maybe April. So I ordered the A5 and I'll lengthen the barrel. I'll probably weather it too because it just looks to clean. I also got the accessories and linked tracks. It's a really awesome tank! - MT

It was a machine gun so it fires really quick - yes . - MT

That's coming along great. - MT
