    I appreciate the sentiment Thom, but there is literally nothing left of the Legioss now. It is in the trash, out in the dumpster, and my new rule is no models molded before 1995. The plastic is just too fragile nowadays. I went through much of this when I redid my Matchbox SDF-1; I disregarded Hasegawa's paint suggestions, as they didn't look right to me. One other thing I would suggest paintwise is to decide at what point in time you decide to show the ship. I chose around just after launch day, as the later appearance would have looked more weathered and faded to me. I also noticed their storm attacker version looked closer to the TV version than their cruiser version did; if they weren't as rare as they are, I'd have suggested using parts from that for the cruiser.

    If memory serves, the Ghorman Massacre was Tarkin landing his ship smack on top of a protesting crowd of people at a starport (from one of the sourcebooks or visual dictionaries, I'm a bit hazy where I first saw it.). Not sure if they'll run with this or do their own version, but it looks like the Massacre is about to become canon on film/ TV.

    I should be able to; just waiting on my delivery. Was supposed to be here today, but it got delayed in Massachusetts. UPDATE: on an update concerning a previous project- I had intended to scrap this, but saved it aside (knowing my temper and what happened the last time I let my anger get the better of me). Tonight, I dug the Legioss/ Leader-1 model kit back out to try to rework some of it again and hopefully salvage a long-backlogged project. The remaining parts shattered. As of right now, I will NEVER buy another Legioss model kit in any scale, any manufacturer, or any form be it toy, model, or WHATEVER. NO PARTS WHATSOEVER will be salvaged from this UNHOLY PIECE OF RANCID CANINE EXCREMENT. 😠 This did more than break my heart.... As for my other projects, they will continue without interruption (one project I'm working on is a surprise for everyone! :D), and it's good to get the KBoP back into the running! I also have another Star Trek project ramping up soon (unrelated to the surprise)

    Nice!!! Jealous though you've got so many spare valks! BTW: How about this for a diorama?

    I'm sorry to hear that Scopedog: I ran into a similar issue with TF Kingdom and had to get a refund. Later saw no activity on the site, and later yet, it vanished. I wonder if something happened to whoever is running wiseguy hobbies? Just dunno. :(

    Or perhaps "Yep, we tried again".

    You might say that; the material on the wings broke when I tried making my own. Also, the weight of the wings needs something a lot sturdier than I can make to keep them in their positions. I still stand by the baffle mod I made, it's just the hinge itself needs a better material. It should look just fine when done. (I hope)

    Either she has multiple personality syndrome, or there must be more than one Mon Mothma out there. We've got more versions than a Firefox update!

    UPDATE: Waiting on hinges for this one; they should be here by Saturday: I have a transforming toy coming in that I have identified a working set of hinge joints that should serve the intended purpose in this build (ebay find, poorer than poor price). After installation, it's then on to painting, decaling and superdetailing. Stay tuned.

    I'm so sorry you've had to do that. I would think they'd have answered long before now.

    I imagine they would have to modify the main body to "take" some material from it to make up for the forearms. As for the knees: that's a bit more simple.

    Same; it'd be a no brainer for Bluestreak, Prowl and Smokescreen. Plus, if the can ML Prowl, they can also do the same for Jazz (similar size and transform, though not the same). I also would hoe they;d have a "blue" Bluestreak variant as well.

    Don't thank me yet: I just searched my parts stash and couldn't find it. I have a few other places to look though, as well as an ebay "buy it now" that I found the other day.
  14. pengbuzz
    Okay; if you'd like to restore him, I'll dig in my parts box and get out the spare stuff I have.
  15. pengbuzz
    Too bad you don't still have it: I think I have a spare set of hip and pelvis parts for that mold.

    The Armored Core game series did this idea better IMHO...

    Nice work on yours! Looks really good there, and I see no bubbles or misaligned decals! (That reminds me: I have my own 1/1400 E-E (thrift store model rescue!) I have to obtain wallpaper decals for.)
  18. pengbuzz
    Yeah... not a big fan of Benoist or how they wrote her character.
  19. pengbuzz
    Ah, my mistake. Sorry. But I do think you have some cool looking models!

    "Colony drop".... as in "thousands of people screaming as they plummet to their deaths aboard a giant metal colony about to impact with a city that also has thousands of people screaming as they're all about to die?" https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ColonyDrop Or do they just drop an empty colony in the middle of nowhere and turn it into a Walmart or something?
  21. pengbuzz
    Actually, I think it belongs here! That is a cool looking model!
  22. pengbuzz
    Yeah, it can be a pain working in Photoshop; you learn very quickly to save in layers and to save often. Learned all that the hard way working on a graphic novel the past 11 years (my own, non-Macross).

    Which episode was that?

    I would go with Canon inkjet myself; laser printers tend to print decals a bit thick (nearly like those relief print decals for cockpit panels!). As for inkjets: HP has a nasty habit of shorting on ink and only letting you use "official hp" cartridges. Best brand of paper: I use expert's choice (bare metal foil's brand) decal paper: https://www.bare-metal.com/experts-choice-decal-film.html No problem!! Let us know if you need any further help or advice! Also: show us your results after you get this done!
