    That kit came out great! Plus I love the custom tail decals! I had the Monogram 1/32 kit and loved it! Variable wings and rubber tires. We have a couple assembled ones at the museum too. I believe the horizontal stabs are cross linked as well as having most ordinance as well. Contracts on getting a great build!-MT

    Looking awesome and glad to see you're making the missile hatches open! As for the pilot, the only pictures I found just show the waist opening. This one is from the Macross Mecha Manual (shameless plug for one of our members): http://www.macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/queadluun-rau.htm%C2'> I would suspect the pilot's legs go into the mechas legs. I love the way you made that happen! - MT

    @Arbit - why not try using strong magents along the seems or micro flat head screws with nuts (I've done both). @Derex - That Falcon came out AWESOME for a $35 piece of plastic! Hopefuilly your boss appreciates it! That sucks about your dad, but cool you have photos of him up. I lost two grandparents to Alzheimers and it was sad to see them slowly not know who I was. The good news is at least you can remember your dad! - MT

    Your file did not die in vain! Nice job on a tough subject. I have to agree with the weathering comments too; it looks great! - MT

    You still use the same decal paper with a "best" setting. It's a glossy media, not pourous like papers so you should be good to go.- MT

    The decal is no problem: http://www.micromark.com/clear-decal-paper-for-ink-jet-printers-5-sheets,7942.html Scroll down for the other decal accesories like fixative, dull coat or Solvaset. The vinyl will be a problem. As soon as you mentioned the figure, I thought it would be vinyl. The decal is on a polymer film and the vinyl is flat (matt) surfaced. It's like putting a piece of glass on sand, the shiny part stands out and doesn't lay down, sometimes holding air bubbles underneath. Maybe a clear gloss coat wherew the tattoo will go and then laying the decal on top of it with a flat coat to make it look original. But vinyl is flexible; too much flex might crack the clear coats. What about actual inkjet tattoo papers? Here's some other ideas I serached for there's tons, but most are on hard plastic - not porous vinyl. Hope that helps somewhat. - MT http://www.onesixthwarriors.com/forum/sixth-scale-action-figure-news-reviews-discussion/564676-my-experiment-applying-tattoos.html

    Looking great guys! I've gotta get my schoolwork sorted out so I can build a model again! Thanks for posting photos. Having styrene withdrawls now - MT

    Adding silver to the head clear parts is a great idea. I like to use the same technique myself. - MT

    NOBODY is swooshing this around! No matter how big a muscles they got! Seriously though, it looks great!!! You may be able to use metal hardware internally and A LOT of cement to weld it together! This project is going to cost some serious dough and time! - MT

    Yeah, it's looking great! - MT

    Aw man, I can't tell you how many times becuase of my angle, I missed the Dremmel chuck digging in to my work! It does suck! Hopefully we'll have some pictures soon? - MT

    My son said "that looks too cool, I wish you could buy that! - MT

    Great observations! I didn't know that about the F-18's rudders, but I guessed it right knowing the aerodynamics of it. I'm familiar with the weird things deltas have to do. Our F4D / F-6 at the museum is one of my favorites. We also have the X-32, both of which use "elevons" as control surfaces. The F4D (Ford) also as inboard devices near the engines. I think your display is gonna come out awesome! - MT

    That looks great Nyankodevice! Nice changes to the proportions and adding articulation. Can't wait to see it finished. - MT

    The Magnagaurd looks cool with the modifications. The changes work with it! - MT

    Hey Grayson it's: http://paxmuseum.com/ As long as the Nov 6th photo is up there, it shows part of an early SH-3 Sea King we just moved into the hanger last week! The Director of NASA was our key speaker and everything went great! That actual building may not be open until Spring - date still pending getting displays and some of the basics sorted out. - MT

    Is your friend kicking himself in the butt now? It looks great! Nice photos too. You can never have enough Tomahawk! - MT

    That's looking great! It's big enough to put a small fire extinguisher in and hang it up on the wall in your kitchen like Max had on hand when Millia started a fire in the kitchen - MT

    "These are not the droids you are looking for..." They're looking good so far and the Falcon stand is going to be interesting. How much weight is it handling? - MT

    Congrats Jefuemon! They came out great and look really good together. Hopefully you have a shelf reserved for them some place. - MT

    That work looks awesome!!! It will be great to see it printed and in kit form. Nice execution of the concept! - MT
