Chas

Thank you! That's exactly what I wanted! I don't care what anyone else here says about you MechTech you're all right by me . Seriously though, thanks alot for taking the time. Charles.

Hey y'all. I need some pics form anyone who has a Max or Millia gerwalk from the 3rd mission Gashapon set. Specifically I am looking fo detail shots of the legs from the side and from the back. More specifically I am interested in the area from the air-intake to just below the 'knee' joint. can anyone help me out?

The library idea is, I think, a good one, but as far as I know in order to make your own decals one needs access to an ALPS printer. I know that there are decal sheets out there for use with 'inkjet' printers but I thought that one of the problems with that idea is that inkjet printers can't print the colour white as they don't have any white ink ( which, I believe, is something one needs to make decals.) Perhaps I'm wrong here, but I don't know of anyone who has actually made their own decals using anything but an ALPS printer. Anyone who knows different care to chime in?

Yeah, I am pressing them down but I was trying to make the coat of future as thin as possible to avoid it going on unevenly. I think your tips will solve my problem. Thanks.

Well I am using future for the gloss coat and applying it with conventional brushes, so that might explain why I got some silvering in certain areas. Oh well 'Live and Learn' as they say.

Thanks guys. I was wondering, because I tried using just microsol and still got some silvering, and didn't know if it was because I didn't use it with the microset or some other reason. I can see now that I probably didn't have a sufficient coat of future on the model. As for the canopy I didn't think it would any harm just being cautious as I've already lost one canopy. Anyway, thanks for your help. It is much appreciated Charles.

Hi all. Is it neccessary to use both microset and microsol on decals to get the 'painted on' look or will just one of these suffice? and if so which one? Also are there any known issues with either of these products damaging canopies? Thanks in advance for you responses. Charles.

Wow, it keeps getting better and better.

OMG! Talk about abundance! Now i just have to figure out which sizes and types I need. Thanks so much guys. (I Love these boards!)

Wow! I didn't think they would be sold just on their own, but since you mention it, it makes so much sense. Thanks!

Me too. Oh, and guys you do realize that I just made that name up, it's not official or anything. So if you do finish it Ryuji, you can call it whatever you want

Hey Folks, I'm planning to modify a couple of kits to make them more articulated and I can't think of a substitute (an abundent substitute) to use as a source for polycaps. Has anyone hear found something to use, or have you heard of anything? Im just getting into modelling again, so my scraps box is really non-existent at this point, so I don't have any spare ones.

What about good old fashioned Bristol board, you know the stuff we all used for our Science project displays? That'd probably work. (Edit-Typo)

Yeah could someone Photoshop some nametags or something? Who's who here?

Wow! looks like it was a blast. More pics. please

Oh! that's what that symbol must mean Thanks grayso. That is what I was going to do, but then saw this thread and figured someone here would know.

Well speaking of details for the cockpit. I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what to do with the P.E. 'Joystics' (sorry can't think of what else to call them right now) from the Hase. P.E. set. Am I supposed to cut off those two stubs of styrene infrot of where the instument panel sits? Can anyone tell me wkat it says inthe bottom right corner of this pic?

No. I'm pretty sure that HO =1:87 And O =1:48

I thought 'N' Scale was 1/160th.

Well I know that HobbyLink Japan has 1/100 scale hands for sale in their Gundam line You might try them to see if there is anything that will suite. I think these are the closest in appearence to the T.V. Valkyrie hands. http://www.hlj.com/product/BCL2059. As for figures just try a search on ebay or google for 1/100 scale figures and you should be able to find something. In the Models section here at MW ther is also this set, however I don't know what the availabilityof it is like, but maybe you could look for something simillar.

Well as I write this I'm listening to my 12" singles. At the moment Shiekback's 'Nemisis' is playing. Just finished 'Small Town Boy': Bronski Beat and before that it was Yaz - 'Nobody's Diary'. Comming up is 'Fade toGrey': by Visage, and 'Living on Video' by Trans X. I would go on but if you recognize any of those I think you get the picture. Oh! also a huge beatles fan and a H-U-G-E Joy Division Fan. 'Nuff Said.

Oh, what a shame! That Minmay was something I would actually consider buying. - Thought it woud look great next a Hase. Minmay Guard Battroid.

Wad'ya mean there are shots from 360 degrees in the first post?

Yeah I'm with you on that Renato. I never got the semi-nude pre-pubessant anime girl sculpt thing but I think it's the fact that this is so well done .( I mean it looks just like the original image!)

Does anyone else find it amusing (read ironic) that a thread which began with a bunch of guys ogling provocative drawings of a cartoon character soon turned into a confessional about how they can't attract women and then out came the ideas of how women are shallow and have to be tricked into relationships? I mean if this thread were a T.V. show it would be Hilarious! Fellas There are no Tricks to meeting and attracting women That's your First Mistake! You've all heard it before JUST BE YOURSELF. Mistke number two: Women are not any particular way, Just as men are not any particular way -WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS!. When you start to think about the opposite sex in terms of generalizations you stop relating to individuals and start relating only to the generalization. -YOU CAN"T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH A GENERALIZATION. Oh yeah and in case you missed it LowVis, your ideas (I refuse to call them Theories!) are simplisitic, juevenile, inane, deluded, insulting, poorly thoughtout, lack any kind of intellctual rigor or thoroughness, and proceed on false logic. I think it would be best if you kept them to yourself. (Edit- Typo)
