    That's a great idea and looks good too! Too bad the blonde is extra!:-) - MT

    Awesome detail work and engineering the magnets!-MT
  3. MechTech
    Thanks for the link!-MT

    That's cool! Interesting use of parts.- MT

    I thought the Salt and Pepa referance was cool! And not just cause we're all fans of an 80's animated feature! That looks great WM Change. Maybe I'll try it on something big enough to see it on.- MT

    The Harpy came out great Zombie! Derex, the crab family looks great! Way to keep at it despite the setbacks. (Now go get revenge on the crabbing fishermen my pets):-) - MT

    It's looking great Derex! I hate it when my plans get foiled too!-MT
  8. MechTech
    Will do!

    That's great, especially the safety concerns! I've read a couple of tributes to fellow modelers who have died as a result of working with resins (the dust getting into he lung specifically). Since some resin kits can have gaping holes, you can also build up the gaps with simple CA and baking soda. The baking soda is also an accelerant for the glue. - MT

    I love that kit and I'm glad to see the internals were kept interchangeable too! That is still one of the best detailed kits and he did it justice! Congrats! - MT

    Thanks Ultimateone for the interest! Yeti has been busy at school and delayed with the casting. He's done with school so we should see some parts soon. I WILL notify ALL interested persons on this thread when we can begin delivering. I'll give him a good guilt trip too - MT

    That finish is a vast improvement over the factory one MW Cheng! That LCS model is 1/350 scale? It looks like 1/100, especially with the PE tie-downs.-MT

    Great work guys! Zombie - Oh yeah, GTC - Galactic Trade Commission! THE only place (a long time ago) I could find a lot of my models. I bought that guy tickets to Hawaii with all my purchases. Neptunesurvey knows him too. - MT

    Looks great! Nicely finished. The only thing better than this is a basket of REAL crabs and butter sauce! - MT

    That's coming along awesome! Can't wait to get one!-MT

    Regarding the LED lighting, give it a try! The secret is to plan it out. Hollow models are easier to run the wires or fiber optics through obviously, solid resin parts need to be drilled through to run your wires or fiber optics. If the model is hollow you can put the batteries in it but as was stated, they can leak. You can put the batteries AND the switch in the base. Just put a small connector in the foot and you can disconnect the model from the base. I built a 1/35th Patlabor Alphonse with LEDs in the shoulders. It makes it stand out. Love the Su Noyhauser. Got to see some abandoned ones downrange. Story goes one guy sat in one and pulled the ejection seat handle THINKING it was no longer armed...;-) The fighter looks great Zombie! I managed to get one of those because I love the design. Still gotta see Crusher Joe though!-MT

    Welcome Mintox! It looks and so does the finish.-MT
  18. MechTech
    It looks great! I'm sure the design is patterned after the Firebee drone. They were water or airborne recovered too, no landing gear. The sculpt is coming along great!-MT

    AcroRay is right, it's PVC, but PVC has many grades, some of those are cheap. I have some of the same figures. They've gone from good to rubber and can break down to sticky!-MT
  20. MechTech
    Talk about a dirty bird! It looks great with wear you'd expect being stuck out in space always in combat.-MT
  21. MechTech
    Not only the issues that EXO mentioned, but they can be sticky because cheap plastic was used. It may ruin the finish if it remains sticky after priming. Others complained of this issue in the past. - MT
  22. MechTech
    Looks great - and dirty Nice finish and photos too! - MT
  23. MechTech
    Nice job whipping that paper into shape!-MT
  24. MechTech
    That came out great, thanks for sharing! Now you just need a scale sized Zentraedi to play dead next to it.-MT

    Meals Rejected by Ethiopians-my gut rumbles at the memory of them! Some awesome looking stuff guys! No time for modelling working on my schooling. But getting ready for the Daedalus kit in what little time I have. A couple of weekend projects to include litterally toasting some plastic to make a vacuum pickup for my CNC machine and chilli can for the mold. My mill seriously lacks power so I made pullies to gear it down. It's still gutless, but works better and adding lube to the cheap bearings that had none quieted it down some.-MT
