  1. I've used special sanding films all the way up to 12,000 grit; by that time, you don't really need polishing compound!
  2. Frankly, the video on dosa's were more interesting (was in the sidebar)...
  3. I think maybe a couple of dark brown washes might help with that?
  4. The designation that seems to be used in both the wikis as well as the official materials (models included) was OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon. So unless I'[m horrifically mistaken (which I could be!), I'm pretty sure it's a Gundam. Gotcha.
  5. Please don't; I can't make enough repair parts if that happens!
  6. *Imagining a match between a VF-24 and a YF-29, ala Epyion and Wing Zero*
  7. It's only a model...
  8. They may have opted for a more robust parts replication system than what was on the original SDF-1, as well as more food and weapon stores.
  9. So they could put Burger King in there as well.
  10. This is seen particularly IRL in building carriers of the same class. Amongst the Nimitz class, length can vary as well as tonnage, with refinements altering the island (tower on the top) and the bow. With the new Ford class, this will be an eventuality as well. This brings up G-LOC ( Gravity induced Loss of Consciousness ), where blood is pushed from the brain into the extremities so much that the pilot blacks out. Needless to say, G-LOC can be fatal at low altitudes, where loss of consciousness at high speeds close to the ground are the last thing a pilot wants. IRL, the Air Force and Navy use both the g-suit(with special trousers to compress the blood in the legs back up to the torso) and the M-1 Maneuver (flexing muscles in lower limbs to constrict blood flow back up to core/ torso).

  11. This is why AFAIC, TNG canon ended with Nemesis.
  12. Oh, we had these where I lived. just could never afford them (and still can't!). https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=Q6683CJCZHFVS
  13. Thanks MT! Nice work on your build; that project of your own is a beast in so many different ways it isn't funny! Speaking on beasts: here is CVN-65 with a model I scratched together some years ago of HMS Victory. The scratchbuild isn't in scale, so I did a little photoshoppery(?) to show what she would look like at scale next to the Enterprise. See what you think:
