  1. Ok, I'm in, done & paid for.

    Now I just gotta wait for it.

    You mean you paid for the kit in total, or for the down payment only?

    Because I'm carding it Henry said to just pre-order it. When you use your credit card to pre-order something it's considered a binding contract. Scary huh?

  2. Still not recieving the email notifications for subscribed threads....

    Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

    It's not getting caught up in my spam filter, or at least it's not showing up in the daily list. Tried varous control settings. Still trying them one atta time.

    Keep yur fingerz crossed.

  3. Just saw your awesome REX Sean, guess I already know who will win the SSM"legs" contest!

    Hope I can earn enough money to own one of the kits when they´re done......

    And of course I´m now totally excited about the yellow plane idea!!

    Yar, don't be too sure there me hearty, there arrrgh 3 divisions in thar contest, yar!

    (and just in case folks are wondering if my meds have taken a sudden downturn, it's Sept 19, Talk Like a Pirate Day)

  4. 1-0 has discovered than the more open the contest the more possible entries.

    And he's right.

    I've got 1 done and 3 to go.

    There is also a special PG Zaku contest happening within the Legs contest. All you have to do is enter a PG Zaku.

  5. How about a 1:48 Siren or Harpy?

    YESSS!

    Crusher Joe deserves more love. I am wrestling with a Fighter One model as a NURBS training project, and Harpy and Siren will be next.

    I have been attempting to (and failing so far) to scratch a 1:48 Harpy for casting. So far I have figured out how not to do it. I may fall back on Joe Brown's sculpt and cover meathod.

  6. Anybody want a spare set of tiger1 tracks? I still have the metal ones left from the one that died so i wont need the ones in this kit :D  I have started to apply the zimmerit but i ran out of white putty so i cant finish that til tomorrow :( But since i know this thing like the back of my hand i should have a rolling chassis by tonight  :D  :p  :blink:

    I'd raise my hand up and scream but I have no idea what I'd do with the bloody things. Anybody? Bueller?

  7. @Kylwell: how's that "very distressed & rusted out Zaku" coming along?? can't wait to see your technique on the whole model.

    I've been wanting to do a rusted-out abandoned Zaku with battle damage, sitting half-slumped in a jungle/rainforest dio, a tree growing thru the body, little tiny monkeys playing around what's become their home for several generations... stuff like that... your technique would be perfect.

    I'm about 80% done. The most painful process is sanding all those frellin' little ppwrlead link ring things.

    Well, besides the weeks of distressing plastic and adding wear & tear.

  8. I'm a big fan of the salt masking technique. You could probably use it on Battle tech minis, you'd just need to be more careful applying it (say with a 5-0 brush).

    The carrier for the rust is somewhat achohol based, as it eats the paint a bit. Depending on when you apply it, it can eat off the paint.

    Doing multiple layers can give you the chipped and repainted look. Which is what I was looking for in this case.
