    Thanks for the warning, I’ll put this on my “don’t need to see” list of movies.

    I love the animated videos from the new album, especially The Writing on The Wall with sound effects.

    Definitely a must see. The true story is so bizarre, I can’t wait for this movie

    For tough spots with thick decals, I usually use a thin needle at a couple of spots like where the panel line is under the decal and let microsol soak through the underside.

    As far as larger decals, they can look really good if you use a decal softener and know how to make the clear edges disappear.

    I hope he keeps up and does the monster as well. And if he does more gits maybe one of the larger tanks

    I’d be more interested in Samurai Troopers

    I guess it’s arts and crafts day. Just saw the Votoms thread with a cardboard scopedog, and now I’m looking at a cardboard tachikoma. Now I’m wondering what got posted in the other threads

    That’s just about all the decals. There’s some striping, but on a vf-1 those don’t usually follow a set panel line and in many cases will have markings along the striping. The base colors on them would be fairly simple to be molded in color, but even with the chest stripes , I’d rather have a good waterslide decal to avoid masking mistakes. The vermillion team and vf colors would be the easiest to get away with just borrowing number decals from other kits, but masking the stripes for Skull squadron would be tougher with the two tone chest colors. my overall issue and probably many other model builders aren’t as good at paint masking for those chest markings as we wish we could be. Simple straight lines like on the sides of legs or fuselage are pretty simple, but throw in those angles on the chest or matching the red from the kite decal to the stripe on a Hikaru 1j is another pain

    This has been my issue with most Bandai kits. It’s too bad max factory decided to follow in that kinda mess. I haven’t seen them do aftermarket decals the way Bandai does with some of their kits and personally I don’t have a way to print them or have any friends with that ability. I’d also hate the idea of having to buy a hasegawa kit for the decals that may not fit right with these kits.

    I think that they looked at Bandai instead unfortunately

    The fighter only had stickers unfortunately. There are some that do decal printing or there the annoying buy a hasegawa kit just for the decals option. I have no idea why they didn’t do waterslides

    was looking at the hip attachments. Looks like a ball joint to the leg and some curious notches where that joint piece attaches to the fuselage. Maybe a gimmick to move the joint forward as a way to get more movement to be able to get the upper thigh/intakes to clear the wings while posing the legs forward.

    It was just popping it as far out as possible then moving it back carefully. There’s almost a nub in the way, but once it gets past that point it’s fine.

    I brought that one up in the machine Robo section. That was the highlight of the special

    He may not get an alien, but there was the emo robot and he eventually gets a sassbot

    It’s definitely come up. Careful movement can listen it a bit, but it seems a thing with the vf-1 for some reason

    There are a couple scenes in the original show where it did bend below the intake, but most of the time it is solid there and uses the hip joint where it’s attached to the nose area. I believe the old arii and imai and the little nichimo kits only had the hip joint for the non transforming kits. I have my Tomy tech ones in a box and I believe those also only moved at the hip. if I remember most of the transforming kits did both the hip and intake. I also agree it’s a bit early to judge the prototype. And the other pictures show artwork with straight arms, so I hope that there’s some good articulation, but max factory does both types of kits fixed pose and articulated.

    They’re probably used for food. I bet there’s a huge bounty out for Admiral Ackbar since he’d probably taste great steamed with a bit of butter

    That phantom is a beauty for sure. Great job

    As the title of the page lists her two biggest films as Flasdance and Fame. Even if you didn’t like the movies, they were so iconic that images of Flashdance or the song from Fame were and still are everywhere
  22. Big s
    Yeah, they’re supposed to be space Nazis.

    Had a good laugh at the scene in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
  24. Big s
    I wouldn’t say one hit wonder since she was in a few very iconic movies for the time.

    I still think the best take down was from that guy using Casian’s dead mom as a weapon. I was dying of laughter at that part.
