The warming of rattle cans in warm water works well you can also put them in a warm room or like me the airing cupboard where its nice and dry warm

Mmm this one is down to a personal choice I think in the end.

Simple from my POV VF4 any variant will do Minmay Guard 1/48 VF-17 any variant again.

So the general consensus is the new series sucks. Guess i should stop the download now then.

Works for me too just get one of those cheap draftman pencils the injection type with the really small leads in them. They fit pannel lines a treat.

I got mine comming from movietyme.com should be here in a few days.

LOL he`d just be punching stuff and loosing his temper

If your gonna panelline it then use a different type of paint than the one you use to do the rest of the paint. If you paint acrylic then use an oil based paint for the lines. If you paint with car paints use an acrylic for the lines. If you paint in enammels use acrylics to do the lines. Alternative you can use fine markers or pastles ground in the solvent that wont ruin the paint you just did. ie white spirt for acrylic based paint and window cleaner for enammel based stuff. If in doubt just try it on an old peice of a plastic food container to see if you got it right.

As far as Painting is concered I try and use my airbrush as often as posible but some of the really small areas dont notice if you brush paint them. Its really down to you at the end of the day. On the subject of masking I have almost gone exclusively to Tamiya tapes. I still use liquid mask and block in large areas using normal cheap masking tape with a tamiya tape boarder. Tamiya tape is less prone to paint creap than the normal diy shop cheap stuff.

Well postal strike is over till monday and I have recived mail that was posted on Friday but none of the mail that was posted before and durring the strike. The postal workers thought they`d shift the back log doing overtime after the strike but the National Post Office said no overtime. The news said there were several million packages and letters that needed to be sorted. So the mail may be back to normal by April if they dont strike too much more.

I downloaded the first epidode whilst getting the latest Heroes and i`ll give it a few more episodes till i make my decissions.

I`ll be getting mine on the internet from America as the U.K release is sometime in December and I really cant be bothered with the whole release at different times thing that we have to put up with.

Rock on !!! Old skool toasters. Spawn all sorts of scale models etc YAY!!

What we could end up with is a new film that is more in continuity with Enterprise than the rest of the franchise, which would then spawn some sort of reboot as they make more films to follow the slightly different time line/ideas. It would revive the Startrek franchise. Make it darker (al la new BSG) make it more realistic ie space is just plain dangerous to working, and ditch the press a button to fix everything or that "lets reprogramme the Deflector to produce a....." etc that TNG used everyweek.

I never got to see one in the flesh so to speak but im liking the movie one. Hopefully it will be more available than the last one. Just how big is 1/5000 anyhow ?

But what if its a "company" trick to contain Sylar. He thinks hes lost his powers and is no longer a threat to anyone, but you know it will all end with him back to his old tricks sooner or later.

Thats where I was thinking something big has got to come from the fudal Japan thing with Hiro other than him becomming a Bushido Master. You know that someones gonna find out about Claire and West, and maybe the whole get all the paintings thing.

I almost broke my VF1 Roy whilst sober so in my book you did well.

Yeah another good idea is head out to a carboot sale or jumble/garage sale or what ever they call em round your town. Buy up some kids toys all used and cheap and practice on them. Firstly they are cheap and you wont feel bad if you mess em up and secondly they are all different types of plastic so you`ll get a feel for painting plastics etc. Dosnt matter what they are (as long as they are not dolls as they are for girls) toy cars or those cbuggies that you can put toy figures in would do as they are similar in plastics Secondly you may come up with something funky that you can post here Thirdly your not messing up any Macross goodies.

I get that everytime he posts something

I stand in the shadow of your awesomness. If only they had ever done a kit of this it may have been half as good as yours.

I so want one

That would be funny but good at the same time

Is that the neon Macross sign I see from time to time on eBlag. I though about getting on and so far have not got around to it. Great display by the way. I think the lights are available in the U.K too, my friend uses them in his camper van as night lights.

And "Ma kuu osss" LOL
