    UPDATE: Got some work done (finally!) on the 1/72 VF-1 Wolfpack F-14: I need to buff the entire thing down with steel wool for the next coat (particularly on the bottom); then get the framing on the canopy done. The color is a little lighter than normal, but this is deliberate, so when I do the washes and pre-shading, it doesn't darken beyond the normal color. I still need to do missiles, missile rails, tail hook fuel tanks and detail painting/ decalling. Speaking of 1/72, a friend recently sent me this kit as a surprise (which was truly appreciated, as I was depressed as all git-out😞 There's only one of the two planes in there, but since I wasn't expecting this, I'm not complaining! lol In all seriousness though: since this is fighter mode only, and I still have the catapult dio from my Roy VF-1, I have a concept in mind: Idea part 1: Axoid Fighter Paint up the fighter as "Axoid", only the name would be the callsign of a UN SPACY pilot, and the fighter's unique paint scheme was intended as a stealth coat for Mars. Added to the paint job would be the usual UN SPACY livery (roundels, signage, squadron MODEX, etc.) Idea Pt. 2: Diorama- Permanently glue the Axoid fighter w/ landing gear to this diorama, and add whatever launch crew I can. Stay tuned...

    PM sent and appreciated. And I have news we got toady concerning that bro! As for Kronos-1: couldn't that simply be an add-on kit for the K'tinga? On that note: since the KBoP is now 1/350 scale, would they ever make one in 1/537 scale? I wonder how big that would be compared to the Enterprise?

    Is everyone going to yell at him "on your left" constantly?

    Agreed on all counts: even MII seems more "Macross" than the later permutations. Maybe they should just spend some time redoing the original series so the animation doesn't look like aged milk compared to the later ones.

    That's the Fairchild/ Loral 4 Transport (FL/4-T).

    A plausible explanation: Klingons possess adaptive evolution as part of their genetic makeup, designed to adapt to adverse conditions so they can fight in any environment. Takes a generation to show up, but guarantees they can hold wherever they invade.

    In this poster, Chapel is black and white with no color at all; makes me wonder if the character/ actor is departing....

    You know, I've been thinking about your problem here. Could you try perhaps using some #0000 grade steel wool to remove the crud from the wash without ruining the rest of the paint job. At the very least, you'd have an even surface in case you need to repaint.

    I actually like that design! That should have been the E-G!

    If I may make a recommendation: find a white paint marker with a very fine tip (perhaps a Gundam Paint Marker) and use that to refine the edges where the wash didn't exactly behave for you. I've had to do this on a number of models that went "sideways" and it works fine. Then just use a very light overspray of the base color to kill down whatever sharp edges may pop out.

    If they did a battroid kit in 1/48, I could probably find a way to make it transform.

    Yeah, I know what you mean...

    Give that 3-6 months and let's see if that's still true then... I think folks here are really underestimating how fast this tech is developing; anyone who has experience with innovations in just pc tech alone knows how fast things move in the field. Anyways, it doesn't matter what happens from this point out; my career in art died as far as I'm concerned. AI is just the wake for everyone else's. I'm done in this thread. *pulls ejection handle* -Pengbuzz out.

    Is it just me, or should they have cast the actress playing NTW as Jubilee instead? She looks more the part from that pic in Deadpool 2.

    I can just imagine the radio chatter on that one... Hikaru:"ROY!!! A battlepod shot me in my hands and they're deflating!!!!" Roy Fokker: "Hmm.... sounds like a personal problem, Hikaru..." Hikaru:"...."

    Hey, been there, done that. I've had to remove bad decals; usually my first trick is to use 3M masking tape to pull the decal up (even with clearcoat), but sometimes they can be stubborn little cruds!

    More like with a block of salt and a belt sander...

    While I think LeBeouf did okay as "Mutt" Williams, I don't believe he would have been a good candidate to take over the fedora from Ford. Nowadays, I'm wondering if like with James Bond, there aren't really any actors with the gravitas to handle being Indy.
