    Yes, I loved that ending. Kinda reminds me how GoT should have ended.

    Ladies' day out?

    I would imagine though that fossil fuels would be in very short supply though. It would have to be like Macross: slush deuterium/ "heavy water". But even then, that would take some tech and their world looks pretty barren given that.

    Par for the course with them; Frank's daughter is just as stingy as he was.

    Also: do not use Dijon Mustard on the model; it will stain the plastic and smell weird. Don't ask me how I know this; just take my word for it.

    I would probably clean them in dish detergent or something to remove any oils from the manufacturing process.

    Well in that case, it's certainly a far more understandable reason than say, the driving forces resulting in the utter trainwreck that was Southern Cross. Maybe I'm comparing apples and oranges here?

    UPDATE: As promised (albeit a bit late; had a couple of incidents today that shook me badly), pics of my current progress: Found out the tailboom (the two "winglets") were too small; when I tried to carefully cut them off, the section of the tail shattered. I managed to repair it and fill it in; that took a lot of work! I didn't get any pics of the in-progress repair, but the new tailbooms are in place and the missing section is repaired (next batch of photos will show the restored area). Anyways, on to the crew: I sanded and filed down the figures Thom sent me (thanks again Thom! ) to make them more closely resemble Hawk and Caitlin (I gave Caitlin a bit more slender and graceful figure and made her a little shorter than Hawk). Santini got made even pudgier and all three were primed and painted. I did up a basic EDCC, but I'm not going to try hyper-detailing it (as most of it wouldn't be seen anyways). Hawk and Caitlin: Dom Santini: At this point, I also began custom fabricating my own rotor blades and hub; the old ones were molded wrong, and I wanted a much more realistic set: On a lark, I chucked these into my Dremel tool to see how they would spin: they did fine at lower speeds, but I ended up accidentally hitting the switch to full speed! I panicked and fumbled with the controls to get them to shut off, which gave the blades about 1-2 seconds at 35,000 RPM!!! O.o Well....they survived, much to my amazement! Nothing flew off, shattered or even broke! Considering that the real Bell 222's top rotor RPM was 348 RPM, I think mine did quite well! The Lady, at this current point in construction: Still needs more work (you can see the brand-new tailplane in the back!), but she's coming along. Need to finish up the cockpit and work out the rotor mast attachment, then we'll see about sealing up the body and getting some other stuff (such as windows and windshields) done! Stay tuned...

    H-E-L-L NO!!

    Heavy drinking and/or drug use? 🤷‍♂️

    Thanks MT!! I have several update pics to post later tonight (have to go do laundry).

    Pretty sure they'll have that on clearance for $9.99 in a bit...

    With that kind of weight, you might want to check to see if there are any cast metal landing gear struts for your model. I found a set of 1/48 that should work for you: https://www.hlj.com/1-48-scale-p-38-landing-gear-for-hasegawa-sac48031

    To recover, I'm going to be watching Hello Kitty's Furry Time Theater for a while. And to be frank: "bloody" is putting it mildly when it comes to Ideon. Literally, the mech itself is blood red. That should have been my first clue. Makes me wonder if any of the writers from Southern Cross managed to worm their way onto Metal Rouge's writing team? O.o

    Let's just hope he never decides to do any work for Hello Kitty! O.o Meantime, I tried watching one more episode of Ideon and just had to abort the entire thing. Going to be avoiding Tomino's work in the future, as it's not good for my mental or emotional health. Sounds like at the rate they're pulling, they may soon lack a digestive system....

    UPDATE: Got the figures in today's mail (thanks Thom!!!👍 ); after some filing and whatnot, I have some progress on them. Of course, they'll need a bit more work, but that's nothing much: On one of them, the feet were missing, so I just took a pair I already had and glued them on and filed them. Dom won't need anything else, as he'll only be visible from the waist up through the front window. Stay tuned folks...

    Like anything stops Ah-nuld! Get to the CHOPPAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

    Hopefully they'll revise the story more, although I don't have any confidence in Disney at this point. If they want the real world and the grid, they should do a story where the grid is out of control and threatening to consume the real world.

    At this rate, more like A Song of Lice and Mire. The only good parts left were The Hound's one-liners.

    Yeah, that's my fault. I wasn't going to originally, but it was a rainy gloomy day and I had nothing else to do (waiting on packages so I can continue my projects), so it was kinda last minute. Shot myself in the foot there. Anyhow, not really sure I'd want to finish it at the rate it's going, small doses or not. This series makes all the dark parts of Macross look like a bright, cheery day. Kind of surprised Tomino wasn't hospitalized in a mental institution after this series due to his family's concerns for his psychological well-being! O.o
