Well, considering that there are endless realities (earths), they can always change it again and get Mr. Keaton for another one.

Nah, just try making the shins about 1/8 inch longer.

if that's the case, I should be freakin' superman after playing with my cat the other day!

New Macross Animation Announced, to be animated by Sunrise
pengbuzz replied to seti88's topic in Movies and TV Series
Honestly: if I cannot afford any models or collectibles from a series, my interest tends to wane considerably (I tend to be fairly tactile). And right now, funds are at a premium for me. -
Originally, I had grave reservations about them doing any sort of continuation of B5, let alone animated. ...well, I just got proven wrong. I actually want to see how they do with this one! If the story is good (and it looks like they're using the same animation studios ala WB's DC Universe), there may be a market for a series of movies after this one!

You forgot the fourth version: submarine. 😛

With all the times this has popped back up then gone away, would it be fair to say that "the RT movie" now qualifies more as zombie apocalypse horror than it would sci-fi/ anime?

This is what I use for mine; I just refinished a canopy for my F-14 Tomcat: https://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Model-Kits/Paint-Brushes/Ultra-Fine-Waterproof-Finishing-Kit/p/917 If you use these with water to speed the cutting action in order of coarsest to finest, this should return your diecast car's windshield to crystal-clear. After use, just buff with a cotton cloth and that should do it!

My general epoxy I prefer is this one: It's called "plastic welder", but it's a more akin to an epoxy. It's not as brittle as regular epoxy, sets in 5 minutes, and cures hard enough to hold weight in 1 hour. I prefer the black version, as it's easier to paint over in my opinion. When cured, it's pretty much like the plastic around it and is very stable. I'm not sure where you live so availability may be an issue. But auto parts shops like autozone, hardware stores like Ace hardware and Amazon online have it last I checked. I use it for construction and modifications constantly: it's strong enough to hold the warp pylons on my 1/537 refit Enterprise easily (after both were snapped off clean at the joint).

Admittedly; not a fan of clear styrene kits. Too brittle and fragile for my style of building.

This is why I'll use an epoxy (or plastic welder) rather than filler putty on big seams; those tend to to be weaker, and if they need that much filling, become a structural issue. I'm not above shaving down parts or even scratchbuilding new ones it they're missing or out of scale.
