@derex3592 Thanks again for all the resources. I appreciate all the advice. @nightmareB4macross You sure do run a tight ship!

@electric indigo That is outstanding! What a beautiful build. ♥️ I might have to hunt down this kit.

That’s amazing 🤩 and you did an outstanding job with it! I imagine it’s a resin model? I have yet to cut my teeth and anything outside of plastic kits. I do have that Hasegawa Miria figure on the way so I’ll be diving in soon. 😊 Oh and I see you are already getting more use out of that handy new stand. Do you have a link for it? I think one of those would find a good home on my bench too.

The set looks great!

Round two of putty and sanding along with closing off the feet “toes” with .5mm pla so they aren’t just an open void and also added some very rudimentary vents in the void areas on the back of the legs with more of the .5mm pla. Just very simple addition but I think it adds something where detail was lacking.🫤

Wow that’s great news. I could only find the manga translation “English” online and not an ideal way for me to read it sitting at the computer. Thanks for the info! I’ll be ready come March 2026

Very cool!

Hahaha.

Maybe I’m a freak, but I like the whole putty, sand, prime, sand, putty, prime, paint loop. It just feels good once it all comes together. I work it like a meditation. Maybe having a kid has honed my ability to be patient and work patiently? Lol

Congrats on a remodel. House updates never end. My wife has a list on our fridge with everything we need to work on and it feels great when we get to cross off a completed project. A basement remodel is next. Can’t wait! I need to buy a proper display case eventually. My completed builds are stacking up and sadly live in their boxes and never see the light of day 😔 I’m excited and intrigued about what you are going to share. Look forward to it. 👍

That looks super handy. Good luck on finishing it up this weekend. Excited to see it!

@derex3592Wow, thanks so much for the post. I agree with what @Big s said. This kit looks way better than I had imagined. It’s next up on my bench after the Glaug. I’ll take a bunch of photos as I progress through the build. I have been trying to hunt down the remaining ARII fleet but the resale on those ships is very high so it’s hard to purchase right now. I’ll keep looking and hope I find a deal.

Preorders for the IMS 1/144 scale KOG Type D Mirage Delta Berunn go up July19th Japan time. Sooooo pumped! https://hobby.volks.co.jp/brand/fss/special/mh/ims4407.html

@UrashimanVery cool.

Wow that is a big and beautiful sculpt. AMAZING WORK! Unfortunately out of my league at present. One day though when the stars align I will get a Moscato. ♥️
