big F

I dont mean to be a thickie but how tall is it ? The reason I ask is Im just building some display cabinets and, If this sucker doesnt fit I will have to start again. This is the one I have been waiting for.

Well I did a down grade (2.71) and updrade of the modded Firmware. Nice plays my old ps1 NTSC stuff hopefully soon someone will rewrite it to allow PAL games too, then all my collection will work.

Well for me it was Battle of the Planets that did it for me I am a Child of the Seventies. Even then I noticed the Similarity of the Character drawings to other animation series. It was much later around the time of Robotech that the penny dropped for me.

My head hurts from all the reading and laughing. Does anyone know collectively just how many Yammie Valks we now own on MW. Also has anyone any idea about what sort of percentage that is on total Yamato sales. Im thinking that Graham may be the man to ask as he has his ear at Yamato`s door. On a side note does anyone want to see my special 1/48 collection, I have 6 of them all mounted on a key chain that I keep in my pocket

Dont worry I had to do the same a while back. You can add a bit of bondo to the hole and scribe the pannel lines back in and nobody will know.

Great pic guys. Makes me think my collection aint so big afterall.

How about a Stealth like the Yammie one (the dark grey/blue one not the cammo job) or an urban type theme. Looks like you resqued that one for the great hanger in the sky I think you have the sholder bits from the wrong sholder on the bootleg just in case anyonereading this didnt know they put the arms on backwards on bootlegs for some idiot reason. Much the same as on a Joons boot the tail fins are switched too ???? same dumb ass reason probably.

My friends dad has the same drill in his work shop ( he builds scale trains) along with the mini lathe and table saw theres not much you cant do. I so need the space and time for my own ones.

There this is a true yearly event roll on next years installment

Scratch built Galactica I was was just thinking it was some kit you`d added detail too. I cower in the shadow of your scratch building greatness.

Tell us more.

Jedi mind trick "fulcy this is the project your looking for...."

lol I beat you all £250 all in But I have bought all mine while in Japan so the price/exchange rate is much better.

This makes interesting reading. I too have to paint my Super O and when i get the rest of the recasted parts back my VT too. May well go for the lesser known colour varient.

Ditto

KK your work is timeless.

MMM !!! Looks like I`ll be getting some.

Well after seeing the new trailer in Glorious HD Im am Slightly heartened that it will atlest look good and not like a hash up Robotech Shadow Chronicles anyone... I will take its as was posted earlier just take it as another reincarnation of the franchise. Gundam has managed it and so for that matter has BattleStar Galactica and Startrek and Starwarsto a certain extent. I not gonna say I wouldnt have prefered a faithfull incarnation of the G1 universe as that the one that was current when I was a teenager and Anime and Robots were my main focus (nothings changed much). I did a check through my DVD collection, It would seem that I have most of the M. Bay catalogue.

OMG I`d forgotten about dental tools One of our clients is a dental pracice and while talking to the head dentist a few months back he said that the tools they use are great for modeling and sculpting. He said he know of several dentist friends who use the old scrapers and sculpting tools as modeling tools once they are nolonger useful in the dentist chair. The Dentists cant really sharpen stuff as its more dificult to clean and more likely to break etc. so once a tool dulls of they bin it. Check out your local Dentist as you may be able to take some off his hands in the name of recycling. There are so many different things available your gonna find plenty you can use or mod into someting really handy. Needless to say I have a full set of the useful things from my dentist.

Couldnt have put it better myself

So should we start queing outside your house yet ?

I was gonna ask about getting waprped bits straight again as I have some but its answered here so thanks guys.

Dont mess with David he knows his stuff... I just hope some of the humies get stomped that will make it for me. Starscream has to be cool or its not worth watching. I go bored last night so I shopped this up to use as a screen backdrop. Just stretch it or add it to a black background. [attachmentid=39175]

Handrill is the name sometimes given to it they are sometimes just small hand cranked drills. It can also be called a pinvice. This one of two things depending on what your school of training is. It can be a small miniture drill chuck that can take drill bits down to rediculous sizes of smaller than 1mm. Or it can also be a small device similar to those watch makers screwdrivers you can get at the thrift mart. You know the ones they come in a pack usually the size of a carton of smokes, they usually look the similar but the pin drill will have a small chuck like part on the end to allow you to put in drill bits. They are all good for the job. The only real difference is that the screwdriver like one is good for use in the hand, quick or not critical acurate holes and the drill chuck one can be fitted into the end of a convensional drill or drill press for super acurate or depth acurate holes. I have both so I have the ability to do eaither, but you can get away with one or the other if needs be. My pin vise is nearly 40 years old and was my fathers when he was an aprentice tool maker, they just dont wear out, so you only ever need on unless you loose it. Neither should cost you more than a few bucks.

lol
