I feel ya. My private warehouse is scaring me right now.

Ouch

Oh yeah! 👍 OCD game on point.

@MechTech Yeah that revival kit is in the entry grade series and part of their 45th anniversary. It’s priced right too at around $10. The design has been completely reworked while the proportions and basic appearance have remained the same. The seam line placement was thought out so they aren’t visibale from the front along with many other QOL improvements over the original. A very fun 20 minute build while on the couch. Just need to give it a proper paint job or maybe something wild? Now onto your project. Wow!!! That is some outstanding work. This is why I love creeping around this forum. You and many others are flexing your amazing skills and it’s so inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing. @Urashiman the test print looks great!

I think you are right about that.

@megatron-uk Those look wonderful!

I’m dying laughing over here. Hahaha ✌️

Hahaha. 😂 I find the thick clunky style of the older kits so endearing. It’s fun to see it reappear more refined.

@Thom HAHA. Kit”s” is right. Very nice. @nightmareB4macross echoing what Thom said, I’m really digging the hands. 👍 Sometimes the strangest things show up at the bench. This was my dessert after dinner. Ice cream would have been nice, but you work with what ya got. This was such a fun chunk of a build. I’m excited to paint this sucker. It was cool that the instructions included comparisons between the OG release and all the new technologies that went into this “revival” version. A lot has changed in 45 years.

What kit is this?

Thanks. The seller had a photo of the runners and it looked very simple. Hope I have enough putty seeing it’s an old kit. 🤣

👍 looking good

Finished this FSS freak last night. I am seeing improvement in my builds, but there are always lots of places to improve. I have an old ARII 1/100 Fighter VF-1D coming in the mail. That will be my next build and first aircraft model. Super excited to build that trainer.

Thanks. I’ll search for it.

I know this is a Hasegawa thread, but do you know if the Moderoid kits would do transformation?

Thanks

I was just going to post this too. Just got notice.

The Wave SR3 Engage is coming along. I had to strip a few pieces last night which I had mistakenly painted the wrong color “frame vs armor” so yeah that happened…otherwise it’s been a fun one. Lots of opportunities to play with color, transparency, and sparkly layers. There are quite a few areas where masking for small color panels was a bit of a skill check for me but great learning experience. I think they came out ok. I’m digging the strong L-Gaim vibes. ♥️

@nightmareB4macross Oh yeah! Love seeing the updates.

Awesome! It’s a big boi that’s for sure. Going to be a lot of fun.

@DeltaE27 So glad you shared these great builds. I love the color schemes and the storytelling. I’m sold on finding a wave version if the price is right. Inspiring. 👍

Thanks. Same to you. 😊

@MechTech”The BEST CA accelerator, gap filler, or for building up areas with CA is plain ole baking soda (like Arm and Hammer). It's non-toxic and gives body to the area you build it up in. MUCH cheaper too!” Wow! I will give that a go next time I fill some gaps. Thanks so much for the insider tip. 👍

I had posted something which I then removed since it was in the wrong thread. This isn’t in reference to anyone else’s posts. Just to clarify. ✌️

Whoops. Wrong thread.
