    Nice little kitbash!

    Someone had a bit of fun with that one

    I’ve never built that or any StarTrek kits, but was curious if on your previous attempt if you tried priming the inside as well as the outside? I was just thinking on a clear kit masking where the light shines through on both sides, but going a bit heavy on the inside might make things easier on the outside. I’ve never been a ship kit guy, but I do admire the work others put into it and love seeing those projects.

    That cover always made him look like a super villain. The comic itself is pretty hilarious in the way he deals with bad guys that have no chance

    Looks like you absolutely saved it!

    I sometimes forget about the death toll in the comics versus the cartoon

    I know Cobra Commander is a bad guy, but he’s more of a pg bad guy. Throwing Rambo at him would be a bit of overkill

    That’s my big hope. I really love my assault suit Leynos kit, but it was a lot of work and is a bit clunky and I’d love a newer somewhat easier one that would have better articulation. Not only that , but some of the bad guys in those games looked great too and I’d really love kits of some of them

    I kinda thought it was an odd one as well. Plum seems to have mostly video game franchises, so they pretty much have a limited group to pick from as far as classic mecha video games and since they already did a couple kits from Power DoLLs, they probably didn’t have to do a new license. previously they had mecha kits from the Assault Suit franchise, Cloud Breaker and Power DoLLs and maybe only space ships from a few classic shooters from what I remember, but who knows, maybe they’ll get some new licenses for this new line. I’m always curious about a new line of mecha model kits and hopefully Plum has learned a few things from their older kit projects

    A smaller 1/48 version of the power doll kit that is designed to be more poseable and a bit simpler to build. There will still be seam lines, but it looks like the c clip joint connections allow for easier clean up and painting. There’s no hand options shown, but those may come up in an option pack since it has connections shown. They also negated the wiring on the lower legs for better movement, but it probably won’t be too difficult to modify it by drilling a few holes and adding your own. just thought I’d add some pics of the old 1/35 kit for comparison. I do think the older one looks a bit better, but it’s definitely more work and has less range of movement. I’m just really hoping this new line does well enough to get more Assault Suit Leynos kits. I wouldn’t mind an easier more poseable kit from that game

    Glad you have that option to save your build. It’s looking good so far

    I got really into anime because the stories weren’t just good against evil back in my younger days, but now I feel like It’s been so over done and the bad guys are always one simple conversation away from ending a war that shouldn’t have started and now I kinda just want to see bad guys being bad because they’re bad. I don’t need a background as to why they’re bad either, kinda a rough explanation as to what they’re after and maybe that’s all I need once in a while

    Those big thin decals can be tough. I have less trouble with them since I stopped using decal glue. Just water and a gloss surface. Then something like micro sol after the application and a bit of gloss over the top. I do have occasional rips and tears with those, but the water seems a bit more forgiving about wrinkled messes and repositioning. Are there any decal sets that have that one on the tail that you could use. I think hobby search had quite a few in their aircraft or military section

    I was thinking more about Picard or Halo, but maybe Top Gun 2’s success allowed for more financial wiggle room for the company.

    I was just rewatching Venture Bothers and when I read this line I imagined it as one of those over the top Dr. Orpheus speeches

    If it keeps them wanting to produce more kits, then I’m all for it. I’d rather have all the options available rather than having to hunt down one that is short printed. I’m just glad that they see a market in releasing the oddball items as well

    I have an oil color set and I may try that dot filter technique sometime. I like your results

    They’re probably just wanting hugs. They’re just misunderstood

    I sometimes am a bit lazy with primer and just do a quick dusting

    Paramount seems happy that it passed the expected amount that it was thought to bring in. Maybe there was something of a Merch deal or that factored in that I really don’t understand or something. The plumber was definitely the tough competition and took the nerd viewership away. Who knows, maybe Paramount is just happy that one of their products didn’t infuriate its fan base

    There are some older ones, but I haven’t seen anything new in a bit. There will probably be more when the preorders come up hopefully soon

    There’s probably gonna be a market for resin cast kits for a bit. The biggest change is that many newer garage kits will be more 3D printed and are becoming more available either by files or made to be sold by people with a printer. For example, I was on Newtpe USA and they have a 3D printed conversion for the hguc geara Doga that has the heavy weapons backpack and included sleeves for the unicorn version. Times are definitely changing, and I’m not sure how many old school resin cast garage kits will be around in a few years

    The Cgue is one of the few seed designs I really liked.

    The little guys look super cute with those googly cannons

    I kinda feel like the older kits are more like a collectible, compared to the Bandai rereleases. I don’t really know what kinda condition those old decals are in the older kits, but if you get a good deal, then I’d check out the section on decal restoration before building. I’d also suggest some of the imai kits, especially the zentraedi ones. Also keep in mind these are going to require a lot of work compared to modern kits. Lots of glue and repositioning of parts. I don’t think it’s anything that people can’t handle. I used to build them as a kid and I feel like many people got spoiled by Bandai.
