    Thanks for sharing! The builds look awesome, but the availability sucks - make more instaed of making people suffer! Looks like he's using CAD versus old school sculpting. - MT

    That's one of the most creative uses of sharks mouths I've seen yet! Nice and dirty finish! - MT

    That looks AWESOME! I too think you nailed it! Just enough shading, lining and the colors! - MT

    I READ these were photos of the model, but they DO LOOK CG! I'm not the only one to think that! Great change of color and nice design! The Monster can look great in a bunch of designs. A couple of us from Cali chated last year about a 1/200 monster they had at Pony Toy Go Round (80's in L.A.) with a parrot "beak" looking front and eyes with bright colors. I wish I had those photos! Awesome - clean build! I wouldn't call it "basic" on the skills scale, especially with the metal mods and paint. Fellow MW'ers, don't play cards with vf-1x, he's a "sandbagger!" We'll also give you props for getting in shape while lifting AND building it! - MT

    It's just a transport (the lineart helps put it into better context - courtesy of Mr. March) - MT

    That looks great Felindar! Are you able to put them on a page format to be printed out on a decal sheet? The cut vinyl sheet are cool, but will be lumpy when painting By the way, where did you get the smaller Macross figures below them? The buildings look cool too! Thanks! - MT

    Thanks Felindar, do you have a placement guide?- MT

    This is an age old problem, especially for Gunpla kits. Just holding painted parts will rub the paint off. Like Grapetang said about molded in color. That's what I try to do with all my kits and then just add a slight bit of similar color to simulate dirt/wear then clear coat. The clear coat will still eventually rub off though. Putting on a heavier coat in an area may work - if it doesn't show easily. Nail polish can work too - but will also look different. In fact, an old trick is nail polish can be built up to make new canopies! Once again if the parts aren't seen too easily, a clear piece of plastic may protect the parts. Maybe just small enough to keep the paint from rubbing. There are epoxy paints, but that's like using a sword to butter your toast! They too can be tough to work with and potentiall lumpy if not used right. For regular paints, others have said Gunze's is best for acrylics, and then like Grpaetang said about lacquers. I hope that helps! - MT

    Your best bet is a Dremmel with the LiPoly battery pack. I charge mine every few months and it's got plenty of torque, it's light, and the variable speed is a MUST for styrene work. Remember, you get what you pay for! The nail tool probably has a Mabuchi (or similar) 180 motor in it - not very torquey. All the same, let us knwo how it works -MT

    Your Misa still looks better than mine! Guess what, I did the SAME THING, only with Sharpies and rattle can laquer! That AND losing the dumb eye decals. Same thing, she's staying like she is. I wouldn't normally clear coat a figure like that (usually keeping them flat paint), but since it was for my young daughter who would probably play with her and move her around her shelves (and she does), the coat gives the paint extra life. Oh well, back to the work bench... - MT

    Needs a BIG "L" sticker like in the UK for "Learner" That looks great AND clean! Nice idea and creative scheme. - MT

    I'm more of a model guy, but this is REALLY cool to share with everyone! It's cool to see how you went about doing it. Thanks for sharing! - MT

    Hey EXO, if you print it out on white sheets, you're good to go. Only the top and bottom are actually natural aluminum. Here's some history: http://aytm.com/blog/research-junction/rebranding-budweiser/ The squid drink looks the same - yummy! - MT
  22. MechTech
    Nice Derex! I built the Misa and lost the decals so she looks more like Little Orphan Annie (eyes wise). I recently bought the set of all four from ebay and I'm considering building them someday - MT

    You even added weathering to it too! Don't worry, EVERYONE has had some gripes with the Bandai transformable valks. Some of us suspect there is a hard core Gundam guy back in Japan trying to sabotage the Macross projects Don't give up - you conquered one of the tougher kits in recent years. - MT

    It looks like the "conventional" ordinance has some embellishments on it to make it look more futurisitc. The GBU-27 fins look different. The AMRAAMs are nice reproductions though. - MT

    That's cool looking!!! I think you'll need to add beer can/squid drink and eye decals for it... - MT
