    Talk about a photetch monstrosity! I must admit I like the silver better than the brass color (closer to aluminum colors). It does look like a knock-off from the few parts I compaired, but I didn't thoroughly look at it. - MT

    Looks like you've been having fun! Those are some cool kits and I too am glad the plating fad is mostly over! - MT

    Cool! Just build a little at a time. Then give yourself a week per plane for decals The decals alone would intimidate me from those kits. - MT

    There's the old Testor's cement (and small window maker): http://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Paint_and_Construction/clear-parts-cement-and-window-maker/TES00003515/product.php?s=4&t=2&u=0 The GOOD stuff is GS Hypo Cement (they've been around along time too): http://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Paint_and_Construction/clear-parts-cement-and-window-maker/TES00003515/product.php?s=4&t=2&u=0 - MT

    Sorry, it's an old book from the 80's long out of print now. - MT

    That looks awesome EXO! I can almost smell the resin... I would also reccomend the passengers be molded in color - for the sake of the purchasers sanity (like me) - just sayin' - MT

    Just had some time to stroll through more threads - this is funny!!! Talk about flashbacks! "When you can grab this pebble from my hand..." Yeah, I saw it "live" too! - MT

    Great finish on it, epspecially if this is an "early" venture for you with an airbrush! For some reason the photos keep reminding me of the Macross Modelling Manual (especially when it was glossy). - MT

    That's what happens when you mix hallucinagenic drugs and plastic Looks like the Japanese version of H.R. Puffinstuff! - MT

    NICE design and REALLY cool! - MT

    The Olson Special is rarer! This might help you from ebay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2055119.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xorguss+model+kit&_nkw=orguss+model+kit&_sacat=0&_from=R40 - MT

    Same here! I never saw the series, BUT I LOVED that design! I bought it reboxed as a Battletech "kit" (along with other great Macross and Crusher Joe kits). - MT

    That build is the PNULTIMATE build - especially in 1/350th scale!!! It looks like a larger scale build. I've gotta say this is one of THE BEST of the BEST!!! - MT

    This looks AWESOME EXO! Yeah, STUPID anime magic! The problem with the lineart is that the drawing gives an idea of what it's -supposed- to look like. Too often a lot of us think of them as blueprints. The newer CGI stuff will pass as blueprints because it's actually "modeled." I'm gonna get one of these for sure too! Maybe we can make payment installments - buy the bottom half then the top half - MT

    That's some good paint! I've cleaned real aircraft parts with it and that's how I found out about Pinesol being, well, a solvent (like the name). If the plastic is ABS, it should be safe to use on. Soaking for a week and then nothing, I'm astonished! - MT

    "It's so big i can't fit it in my shop for pics, so i need to take it in my living room" That about says it all right there!!! I bet the family had to wait outside while you were shooting AWESOME BUILD!!! It's BIG and BEAUTIFUL!!! I'd contact Hobby Japan and askk if they're interested in your model as an article. - MT

    Some cool stuff on the bench guys! Speaking of cool - SNOW DAY MK 4!!! How cool is that! So I caught up on some stuff and built an Orange Hobby X-47B in 1/350th scale. There's some small filler (Squadron White putty thinned with Acetone and wiped off with a Q-tip). I'm in the middle of painting it, but no photos of that yet. - MT

    Don't forget: https://www.gasolinealleyantiques.com/kits/ They have some rare kits there often (check the Japanese Anime section). - MT

    This is the smaller kit and sadly the only sized scale kit available now in production. Here's an opening of the same kit with "special (chrome) coating." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVPa41UUo5k Video NOT by me ;^) The bigger version with a little better detail is here, decent price too!: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROBOTECH-ATTACK-FORTRESS-SDF-I-1-5000-MODEL-KIT-GUNDAM-MACROSS-SDF-1-SDFI-RARE-/360685800910?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item53fa8c8dce#ht_4316wt_916 This kit is roughly 10" high (from memory) versus the 1/8000 which is about 7 inches or so (soemone please correct me if you have one built). The BEST SDF-1 INJECTION kit is in cruiser mode, it's 1/5000 scale too and hard to get - it averages $150 at auction! It's about 9.5" inches long and is the BEST detailed and representation of all the injection kits regrdless of scale. It is packaged in Imai yellow or Robotech's scheme. Hope that helps! - MT

    If you don't have an airbrush, Tamiya has a good color that fits closely, I used it on my 1/100th and was pleased with it. I'm not sure the exact color name, but it is one (of a few) Olive DRab colors. - MT

    That's funny!!! - MT

    That's great looking! Don't forget everyone, paper is another form of wood A good primer coat and it'll take most paints. - MT
  23. MechTech
    That's a beautiful build, ESPECIALLY being scratch built!!! - MT

    A spring with a washer against the ball joint might work (if there's room). I've done that before to pretty good effect. Plus as the plastic wears, the spring keeps tension on it. - MT
  25. MechTech
    I was wondering what happened to that! It came out great. What do the gamers think? - MT
