Looking great Mike! I can't wait to see it doen either. For those questioning Mike's dimensions, any time you start scratch building something from anime, you hit "anime magic" where reality takes a back seat and so do dimensions. A lot of the dimensions in Macross (not all) seem REALLY off. I've encountered it several times. It just goes with the territory. - MT

I know we frown on the obituaries but this is Macross related.

Thanks for sharing! He was a GREAT artist! I always loved that SDF-1 with the green hue to it. RIP. - Phill -
OOooops! Sorry Herve - still looks cool! The engine looks great! It's hard to believe that's 2 foot-o-lights!

Thundercats and Macross unit! Now you now what it would look like! Most important, your daughter got some quality time in with you. - MT

Nice Rafael Spanner! That should be cool. Love the ginat Falcon so far Derex. The engine glow looks great! - Phill

That's AWESOME!!! They certainly have PLENTY of power in them too! - MT

Macross World Convention 2015 (October 17, 2015)
MechTech replied to KiriK's topic in Conventions and Local Gatherings
Thanks for sharing Nick! Sucked not to be there. - MT -
Welcome Kajnrig! Yeah, NZEOD is right! I built something similar using three PC fans. You can get them in household current too. I used that and triple walled cardboard going into my dryer vent when the dryer wasn't on it. It worked great for glue and airbrushing - nothing high volume like spray cans. - MT

Is that the Revell kit Thom? - MT
-
Looks like it could shoot that beer bottle. Looking great too!!! Would you want to sell these? - MT
-
Better late than never! It looks great and so do the photos! Nice finish and detailing. - MT

That looks great! - MT

That looks cool Derex! My son may change his mind about his Christmas gifts

That's AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing that. He did a nice job showing how he did the fiber optics. - MT -

I gotta dig the missile parts too! Nice engineering. - MT -
Using it on paper, it gets all over you too ! We had to use charcoal and that was even worse! I learned to start high up on the paper (or your model) and work my way down so as to not rub it off or smear it more. - MT

Personally, I always got frustrated with my Badger dual action. There always seemed to be something and I baby my airbrushes. The upside is that places like Michael's have a lot of parts for them in store. - MT

1/350 Scale thread... Mospeada, Southern Cross and more!

This looks great, especially at an odd scale. The 1/350th models have my vote and I'll pass word on to others I know want them. Would you consider sizing all the fighters in 1/350th? - MT
-
It looks great! Nice and clear visuals, but my streaming was chopped up. - MT

Superglue is the best! I was gluing carbon fiber parts together with epoxy. Clean the joints, mix the epoxy, spread the epoxy and clamp the parts to sit overnight. Then I used superglue and it was STRONGER, faster and better (like the Six Million Dollar Man) - MT

This week is the last week of my formal drawing (sketching) class for college. I was thinking about doing the same thing with my graphites. Most of the panel lines in tiny 1/350th models are too shallow to accept a wash, like the X-47B I've gotta finish. If they won't "catch" the powder, then maybe the pencil will work. - MT

MechTech replied to cool8or's topic in Model kits
As I was going through your build Nyankodevice I kept thinking, "that would make a GREAT resin kit!" You SHOULD do it! Not just because of people's issues with Hasegawa's kit, but the size and detail are in a completely better class. This way your work goes double - for yourself AND fellow fans. - MT -
That build is coming along AWESOME! - MT

That video was groovy baby (background blues music :^) Yeah, like that machine. That's cool Model Junkie! I like what they said, "would probably not be sold today due to safety regulations." I would have LOVED that as a toy! It's going down a rabbit trail, but I had a similar one that heated up to make rubber monsters and then re-cube them up again http://www.snowcrest.net/fox/str.html - MT
