    1/55's revisited

    The problem with "OG" is that for the price, the parts are really fragile. We're talking about thin plastic clips from 1985 that have undergone whoever knows how many stresses from being attached and detached repeatedly. Abuse of nearly 40 years plus UV over that time period, heat/ cold, non-optimum storage conditions, being dropped, sat on, etc... and all of these are unknown factors when you get them. If it's the reissues for the valks (Origin of Valkyrie, etc), that's different. All the same, unless you Ihave to have "OG", this should suffice.

    I'd love to see that! And yeah: from what I've heard, the Cy-Kill kit does blow superior....

    Very tempted to use some of these ideas on my G1 Jetfire, but I know better! :lol On another note: wrapping up the Street Hawk project... just need to paint the eyes in on Jesse Mach, a few tidbits on the bike and a final "polishing" of the overall model. It's really gone much better than I hoped, and will take its' spot on the shelf next to Airwolf when finished! BTW: my next project coming up- Stay tuned...

    Or an arm and a leg, but with how wonky my body parts work, I need all the limbs I can get! O.o

    Well, thanks to a few things gone right (for once), I was finally able to make a purchase from them!

    Helping him out with a project, Thom.

    Sorry, but the only one I have is when I took a busted one and carved all new pieces for it, so it's not a standard breakdown. However, several folks here have redone theirs; hopefully someone can help you with it. I'm sure the gang here can get you fixed up in no time flat!

    The large antenna removes by undoing the 2 screws on the bridge tower section of the SDF-1. That should come apart in half and then the main mast antenna should come apart. That will also allow for the removal of the smaller antenna on the tower side of the bridge. The other half has one screw; rather than take apart the entire section of the main body the bridge sits on (it's a royal pain!), you could probably use a jeweler's screwdriver to remove the broken masts. Pics of what I mean (screws circled in green):

    Thanks! I may well do Automan in the near future! BTW: check your messages

    Okay, I replied to your PM.

    Let me know if you need Daedalus and/ or Prometheus. I think I still have one of each!

    Right; I ran into that recently with some HDMI cables I bought and had to return them. I later found my monitor could support DisplayPort and my PC had a DP port as well, so I went with that instead (bought a better cable this time around instead of bargain basement). Made a considerable difference, and with my monitor having built-in speakers, the DP cable allowed me to drop the aux cable for the speakers. Oh, I can relate:

    I think that would work quite well!

    The way the fighter is show in M7, it seems like gloss rather than flat:

    Okay, time to get to some other folks' posts that I'd been meaning to compliment them on!: NICE!!! Really sweet job on that build @Urashiman!!! Looks like it just stepped right out of the anime!!! I'd love to get a kit of the 1J and the 1S (when it comes out!) and see how I do on them! Really liking where you're taking this one, @nightmareB4macross!! I tired something similar back in the late 90's/ early 2000's, but it never looked right to me. I gave up when the Yamato VF-1 1/48 came out and just got one of those (before it was lost in storage when my jerk brother didn't pay on it! 😠 grrr! ). The flaps caught my attention; I'm floored that you're doing them (in a good way!)!!! GULD!!! The battle is on!! Thanks! It was a fairly close match to be honest; it just needed some work. Yup!!! Thanks Thom; still working on the whee rims though. I did decide to take a look to see if I could find better rims in this scale, but nothing that would work was available. Mag wheels with 7 spoke configuration didn't show up, so I'm trying to work these to where they look good. They're not symmetrical, even though I used a drawn diagram (something shifted during gluing I think). I'm going to see if I can somehow correct that by sanding and using a template to try to locate the uneveness. They do have a 3D print version of the model for 6 bucks, but I don't think I can print just the wheel rims and I also am not sure how to scale it for 1/12. I'd also like to be able to use the rubber tires I have now; the #D print ones look solid. (not to mention the figure wiped me out ) Anyhoo, refining the model, superdetailing and windshield installation coming up. I may also do a diorama for this, and possibly Jesse's Control/ Support at base, Norman Tuttle. Stay tuned...

    I'm still waiting for one of the Zygons to do a Vulcan neck pinch on a Moclan soldier....

    UPDATE: Well, after discovering that the Jesse Mach (rider for Street Hawk) figure was off scale by a considerable amount, I had to find another one. Thankfully, I found a really cheap Star Wars figure that fit the bill: With that set, I began modifications... Ladies and gentlemen...Conan O'Brien!!!: I shaved down and reworked both the body suit and the head: I also took the liberty of redoing the helmet: Near-final results and original actor's (Rex Smith, circa 1985) image: And where the project stands as of right now: And the original intro for the show: Stay tunes...
