    I like the red, it makes it go faster, even when it’s just on a stand.

    The red gives a more painting looking highlight. Reminds me more of some of the box art kinda look

    It’s definitely a tough time to try and acquire Japanese kits, especially for those of us in the U.S., but if you’re not here, then it will be significantly easier to find them. I would check the toy section, I think I’ve seen Luna park come up over there in discussions about Bandai’s dx line

    That’s oddly been common even before the ev stuff started becoming common. A lot of the Gas engines have been silent for over a decade, even rather quiet in the muscle cars. I remember a long time ago when the Mustang’s were getting 💩as soon as people realized that the noise was a speaker thing rather than an engine thing. Some people even argue that the fake noise is a safety feature to warn pedestrians and cyclists. As far as Cracker Barrel, that’s a whole different issue. The company was desperate because they started losing money and decided to try a logo change up. Most people didn’t even know it was an iconic logo til the few diehard customers that like the place started crying over it. Honestly I didn’t even know there was one thirty minutes away til my lady informed me about its existence after the controversy was in the news. She hasn’t ever been there either. That’s one of the stupid issues I have with this changeover. The companies aren’t on the same page with the standardization and it’s stalling the industry. If they’d standardize things, it would make the vehicles much less expensive and easier to maintain over time. Most of the charging stations seem to be Tesla and if someone has a different type of car, then they have to hope for an adapter to work. And that issue sometimes goes the other way as well. We might get an ev one day, but they’ll have to sort these issues out and make them more affordable overall and I’m not sure if that will be in my lifetime

    They need to do a Spartan to play bass with those big hands

    It was cheaper the first run, but shipping and inflation happened and now it’s a pricey kit in 1/72. The 1/100 is mostly looking like a simplified compact version of the larger kit. And the new one fits in well with the wave VF-1 kits and hg Bandai kits.

    No problem. I got the 1/72 version and love it, and I seem to have quite a few 1/100 kits so I was looking forward to this as well.

    Tomahawk is up for preorder, love this picthey’re buddies

    I would’ve thought that all would’ve been printed on it, but I guess not if it has a decal for it. The whole ting is a silly cash grab. May as well just get the standard kit and the decals and be much happier that way

    I wanted to see how this light blue looked, to me it looks more like a pale green and then I went with azure blue , which turned up as kind of a grey blue. I really wasn’t sure how either color would turn out and figured if nothing else, it’d be interesting together. i may use that light blue that I swear is pale green on a gm custom from 0083 at a later time

    Still taking my time on this since the deadline passed. Did a basic assembly to see if my rough camo looked a bit cohesive. I think it’s ugly, but works for that trashy Machinen Krieger kinda look. Plus any overly messy spots I think will just blend in with the heavy weathering I plan to give it. I still plan on some stripes here and there and of course decals. I just wanted to see how things looked in a basic assembly for now.

    that’s a bad one to start with for sure. I usually recommend something like a hg kit or the new entry grade kits to those just getting started.

    Even though Arii Macross kits were easier to find here than the Imai ones, the zentraedi kits other than ships and destroids were ere on the extremely rare side.

    I might pick that up, I got a rg sinanju unbuilt and that might give me the motivation to finally dig it out and slap it together

    Definitely far better than the live action movie or American animated show. i always remember the part where Chun Li gets out of the shower and totally wrecks Vega’s face

    Maybe buy a cheap pack of army men to experiment some ideas with. Once you get a cool texture, then maybe try some contrast or speed paint over the top. The color will pool darker in recessed areas and lighter in raised areas and then do a dull coat for that dry kinda look. They’re somewhat transparent and undershading and colors do interesting effects. At least if you hate how one army man looks, there’s the rest of the bag to experiment with

    Liquid latex is great in short term, but can degrade over time and turn kinda crispy. But in short term use is pretty awesome for Halloween stuff or film scenes I’ve seen some stuff done with Elmer’s white glue that looked pretty cool, although I’m not sure on longevity with that either.
  19. Big s
    It’s definitely a crappy deal. And made worse by the wording. Bandai really needs to just add in the decals with their kits
  20. Big s
    Yeah, it’s just that it says waterside decal and I think everyone just thinks that means a whole sheet for the kit, but it’s just that one for the idol. It takes some careful reading to see it.
  21. Big s
    I had one of those many years ago, there are cheap cordless ones that can be adapted to a badger, but I hear the longevity can be an issue on some. you may want to wait for a prime day sale and see if there are just some inexpensive compressors
  22. Big s
    It’s a bit of an investment if you don’t have cash, but if you get a good deal, the actekart no clean airbrush is pretty fun. It’s rechargeable and comes with disposable needles and extra bottles that can either be tossed or cleaned. It sometimes goes on sale at Amazon on prime days

    There’s actually been a couple of bands that came up recently that people supported and bought albums from that turned out to be just ai. It’s getting really sneaky these days and definitely harder to tell the fakes on certain ones versus images and videos that are still rough. But pretty soon, I’d expect to see some videos that will be very convincing
  24. Big s
    You should do some weathering on it for laughs

    I guess it’ll answer the question for Macross vs Star Trek, at least from trek biased people
