    Mine just charged to my account; I should be getting it soon from BBTS.

    Thanks MT! :D I may leave the decals off though! Thanks again! I'll check these out and see how they would work IRL.

    Still better than the live action ending...

    They also had an animated movie that was better than the live action one:

    Thanks Chas; I had a few dealings with AliExpress and got ripped off all three times. I won't deal with them again, sorry to say.

    If you have a Hobby Lobby nearby, you could try this: https://www.hobbylobby.com/crafts-hobbies/wood-crafts-blank-surfaces/signs-plaques/round-wood-plaque/p/80999567

    Right? I was lucky to get ML Sunstreaker through BBTS; they decided to NOT charge the tariff for those who had already ordered.

    Thanks; I have an airbrush already (Badger 350), so I just really need a compressor. Was wondering if the small cordless one could be attached to another airbrush.

    Thanks for the complete rundown here, @mikeszekely! Now I have a better idea of what they're working with here.

    Lol yeah; this prevented me from doing much the past 2 weeks (other than cursing out the oil fryer). Too bad there wasn't an option to make it extendable. That being said: I usually make my own stands out of a block or plate of wood (old wooden cigar boxes work well for this, as do wood pieces from Hobby Lobby) and some heavy aluminum rods (old political signs work well for this, as they have heavy "wire" frames that pull out of them. I simply paint the stand black and this hides the metal post. I think that might give you the height you need to mount your model. On another note: I was considering something like this, but money is an issue for me. I would like perhaps a regular airbrush compressor (I like doing airbrush stuff but the air cans get expensive!), as I miss being able to do custom colors, weathering and whatnot. But it looks like a decent one is going to be outside of what I can afford (40-50 dollars max here; even models are becoming a problem for me to buy, (thanks to inflation!). Suggestions, folks?

    The top of the thigh is diecast (rotational joint at the top), while the remainder is plastic; that said, the rest of the thigh is two pieces that screw together, so it's not the one-piece of the original G1. Here's a pic: And then while putting it back, I found out that I was completely wrong about the overtravel and flexing forward: At first I thought "$#1T, I broke it!!", until I realized it wasn't flopping or wobbling around. With this in mind, there's also the front of the knee, which is indeed a plastic plate that's stationary (inset for engraved "decal) that could well be modified to hinge forward and allow more forward motion on the knee if they chose. It wouldn't be unreasonable, given that they also modified the back of the calf/ lower leg on ML:UM. I would like to see someone do a third party back cover for the figure though, to cover over at least the cab. We'll have to see.

    Are you telling me Xenomorphs are blue-collar?
  13. pengbuzz
    Well, progress on my latest project: The first is when I first burned my arm; the second is a few minutes ago. I guess I got the "mottling" down... just needs decals and some dullcote.
  14. pengbuzz
    That is just sad.

    Now I picture a Xenomorph version of Gordon Ramsay doing the following to one of the dumb crew members: Normally I like Michael Fassbender, but he just didn't sit well with me in either of the movies. Just personal preference I suppose. The rest of the movie I honestly had tried to watch, but after multiple tries (my "bits and pieces" comment), I gave up. I understand your point; I guess stupidity just overloads my "hr geigercounter" too much here.

    Guess Titan Comics and HG aren't the only ones who can rip off artwork...

    The ones I know of: Cody Rhodes- Pro Wrestler (WWE, son of wrestling legend "Dusty Rhodes") Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson- Rapper (Eminem's friend) Jason Momoa- Actor (Justice League. Aquaman, Dune) Roman Reigns- Pro Wrestler (WWE) Didn't know Andrew Koji was Storm Shadow O.O I'll have to check that out sometime!

    Now you can say it's scrarchbuilt.
  19. pengbuzz
    I'd love to see his reaction if you told him that!

    The two engines we see in the background of Mos Eisley on Tatooine for the landspeeder scene (Obi-Wan and Luke) in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope?
  21. pengbuzz
    Andrew Koji seems a tad small for Ryu.
  22. pengbuzz
    They don't; I have him and as near as I can tell, they don't have any. Watching the promo video for it, it looks like they may have modified the cab's lower legs at the knee joint so it can travel forward (0:58): The front of the knee (where the "sticker" would be) looks like a plate, and it may actually hinge outward/down to allow the thigh to bend forward.

    On that note: it makes me wonder what the aliens' observations about humans would be (if they kept some sort of journal)? Oh, you mean the Magneto android? : I only saw bits and pieces of that movie; I didn't want to sever my higher brain functions for it.
  24. pengbuzz
    Makes me wonder; but again, you raise some good points.

    One solution would be an adhesive rubber pad on the top armatures.
