I know what you’re saying. Kinda like that episode of Brickleberry where the bear trusted the wrong person

The lower body always kinda bugged me. Kinda like an oversized uncut………

Not a huge fan of the 25, but might get an armored S if they put one out

Yeah, those bodies are just copy paste unfortunately. At least the color on the ace is getting a little closer to the proper one, still a bit off though. And they’re still awkwardly showing the elbow pads in the wrong spots. after rewatching the frontier episode with Temjin trying to start a revolution, I noticed a few of these guys running around and they did have a different color. Maybe they’ll do something closer to that one day. Also the elbow pads were on the back of the arms in that episode as well for them. I honestly didn’t notice these guys were in Frontier many years ago and I assumed they only had movie style body armor, but realized they were there just the other day while doing a rewatch on Hulu

I figured these would be on the way . Just kinda figured they’d finish delta first, but then again it’s Bandai and they might never finish something
-
I kinda expected something. They had been putting out odd teasers the last couple months and I figured something was coming

Maybe try a cheap plastic spoon and a spare decal to try and see how things go and get a feel for it. Do a crappy scribe on the spoon to give it texture and that will really test the methods before trying it on an actual kit. Party spoons are great for testing.

For aircraft, I kinda like Satin coat. It gives a bit of a sheen without being too dull. For tankish type armor, I like plain ol’ dull coat

It’s doable, but can be very risky. You kinda have to sand the lop layer a bit, and poke a tiny hole for the softener to soak through. This method runs a few scary risks since the weathering is already applied and can just make everything even more noticeable, or ruin the decal the best way I’lve found to do decals from the start is after the base colors are layed down to use a gloss coat and then lay them down. After they dry, use the softener like microsol or Mr marksofter and usually that allows it to conform better. You can do the needle trick if there is a spot the decal didn’t conform to well like with a panel line and the softener gets under there and usually does the trick. Then there’s a couple other techniques that work well for blending the edge to make it disappear. You can mix your base color with some clear and spray around the edges to blend them in, or there’s the method that takes a bit more work and that’s to put a few layers of gloss over the decal and use a smoother sand paper and gently sand at the edges to level them down. Be very careful not to over sand and ruin the decal or the base color. Then add a final gloss to make sure the edge is gone. As long as the edge is gone using whatever method works best, then you can do all the weathering and final top coating to finish up.

General 1/18 Scale Figure and Toy Thread
Big s replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
They look great, who’s actually making these and has there been a price set for them and any idea of when preorders go up? Sorry for the question jumble, just way more excited about these than most other properties right now. -
I hate the idea of bootlegs, but I just can’t afford $100 plus shipping or $134, plus a little less shipping. I’m totally priced out on these

General 1/18 Scale Figure and Toy Thread
Big s replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yay!!!!!, I heard there was something coming for Battlestar Galactica, and I’m super happy with that scale. The figures look great and the viper looks awesome. Maybe a cylon fighter as well🤞 -
Looks like the Muppets have been around so long that they had to replace their Captain America as well
-
I get the feeling that the universe will come to an end and a new beginning and Keith will still be there smoking a cigarette looking like nothing surprises him
-
I keep thinking that we should be on the lookout for Keith Richards, but he seems to have made some type of deal for immortality.

It’s definitely more than threes these days, we’re having constant RIP threads here. Just out of this week, there’s been Ozzy The Hulkster, Theo for ones that made our lists. Outside of that there were others that are somewhat lesser known to us old school folks, some comic book legends and Authors as well and we still got a couple of days to finish the week
-
Don’t we already have a thread for these uglies
-
Here’s the BBTs price, and not really surprising since the Japanese price is so high. Just makes me really worried for when there’s a figure that I really want in the future
-
My favorite off that album is Supernaut. And the cover of that song by 1000 Homo Dj’s is amazing as well.
-
Rogue was getting up there as well, but I don’t think it was over $100 on a preorder sale. That $103 price on these are with a discount for the preorder, I’m sure there’s probably somewhere else that has them a little cheaper, but not by a lot
-
I’d prefer a figure to go with it, but it is still kind of a neat add on for a little display with the kit
-
Unfortunately HLJ has them for $103. Which probably would be much more from an American place like BBTS, wouldn’t be surprised to see $130
-
Sounds more complicated than the VF -1. Can’t wait to see it finished
