    Hey Strike_kf. Superglues pretty much have to be bought slower curing. You can't dilute them or anything. Look up Zap CA brands. Also mentioned above is taking a needle and cutting the top portion of the eye off. I made one years ago and use it a lot. When the glue dries between the prongs, just break it off to clean it.-MT

    Looking good guys! What's bad about the kit Schizo? Revell has some good 1/144 stuff, especially the Euro ones. It might be another companies original mold? Revell Germany even has original Matchbox molds in their line.- MT

    Hasegawa has a good reputation for accuracy, so I'm hoping they live up to it with this. They pulled off the fighters really well with only minor issues here and there so I hope that translates over to the SDF-1. Hopefully the items changed list is just to let customers know of the major changes; that we're just not buying a DYRL version with ships stuck on it. A full list of changes could get lengthy. Don't panic yet, it's too early! - MT

    That is one of the best lit models I've seen hands down!!! I love the detail in the dashboard and the start-up sequence. I was wondering what the tiny red thing was on the screen since it was so pixelated until I saw the whole sequence. COOL! - MT

    Talk about different subject matter! Cool idea! No budget for this, but I'll be following! - MT

    I like the colorations on that build! - MT

    From our very own builders: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=38794&page=1 They may have encountered some questions you're going to ask too - MT

    Two words: Wooo Hooo! Isn't this the first styrene TV kit in 30 years or so!? Definitely got to get one! I'm glad it's got all the other extras the movie version has too! - MT

    Hey Batcode, did you check here: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/_models_plastic.htm There are more than just the 1/72nd scale kits listed there. Plus it has some kit extras mentioned. I don't know about value, but it can vary. An example is looking at auction websites. An old resin kit in a certain scale can go for a lot. Then a manufacturer produces that same subject in injection plastic and as people rush to buy the more affordable plastic kit, the resin kit goes down in price since there are fewer buyers. Plus there's variables like boxart and extras included in some kits. If there is a "list," I'd like to see it too! Hope that helps. - MT

    I usually spray outside and bring my stuff in to dry. Durring inclament weather I paint in the garage and let things cure in a closet. Spray booths can be easily built too if you have basic skills. I even used three PC fans blowing out a dryer vent once. Hope that helps!-MT

    Thanks guys for all your help! I will keep your ideas in mind. The class starts soon and the content was finally unlocked. It looks as though I only need charcoal and paper!!! Somebody wasn't talking when it came to posting course materials! The good news is it will be time to upgrade soon and you guys gave me some good ideas for hardware. Thanks again! - MT

    Are you drawing these in 3D or hand sculpting? If you do virtual, they can easily be scaled. I would be interested in some, but in 1/350th (I know there's other out there too). - MT

    Dirty yes, but also AWESOME finnish! Nice work and changes! - MT

    Long story, but most of the places I lived didn't have this stuff. That's why I made the toolbox to help others. Another good place for general stuff is Scale Hobbyist. They take 2-3 days to ship, but I've been buying from them a few years now: https://www.scalehobbyist.com/%C2'> - MT

    That sucks Derex. Like 007-VF1 said, battledamage is what came to my mind too. If the plastic is that bad, make new barrels. If you got a Dremmel or drill you can "lathe" one out with a sanding stick or file. If the barrels are good you have, that's the other way, carefully remove the tabs with a sanding stick. Just my two cents... - MT

    Thanks Azrael. TIGHT budget, about $500. I could go refurbished, but my limitations are based around Adobe Illustrator's requirements (for school). CPU is not a problem, but the graphics card needs to be a minimum of the list below. Best Buy is the only big chain near me. They have an ASUS A10 with R7. I'm starting to think that's my best bet right now. Other refurbed PC's seem to have below requirements graphics card. Thanks for your input! - MT NVIDIA Quadro K Series Intel HD Graphics 4000 Series AMD Radeon R7 / R9 Series Graphics 8 GB RAM P4 or Athelon CPU (definitely got to do better though)

    Alright, it's not exactly 2199, but this week my wife was nice enough to purchase the Yamato live action movie at Best Buy for my son and I. Needless to say, my son and I were VERY disappointed. My wife and I had to keep telling BOTH of us to shut up! Yuh Mutto!? It's a dog ship now!? That kept driving us nuts and then the whole story line was like a bad dream. I'm sure others in the past commented on their disappointment. My wife liked the movie, but she didn't have any expectations or story knowledge watching it. They even botched Analyzer! My son was mad they didn't go back for him after the end attack Yamato was the only thing that looked -similar- to what it should. And the ending!? OK, I feel better now that I've vented. We'll probably watch it again someday as just a movie, not part of the franchise - official or not. - MT

    Personally, I just buy the sanding sticks or the blocks with grit embedded in them They can be 4 sided. If you check my tool box in signature there's a couple of links for tools and plastic. Happy sanding!- MT

    Another 80's kit, but STILL cool! You'd have to backorder it, and I don't know shipping charges, but HLJ sells it for like $6.00! - MT http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN953438/Sci
