Is it bad that I’d rather watch a movie based on this instead: PAPYRUS!!
-
Yeah, I’ve been handling that joint with extra care, but thankfully haven’t had any issue with any of them (including Yellow’s, Rey’s, and Stick’s rides). If anything, it’s the swivel joint above it that gives me more issues with one or two of the ride armors.
-
Like I said before: there’s a lot of things to like about the design. Along with the thrusters, they even added little brakes to the wheels. It’s just frustrating that Sentinel dropped the ball by opting to go with pink. After leaving them on display for years, I actually messed with all four Ride Armors again, changing them to bike mode and armor mode. It’s crazy how they pulled off the design, but I forgot how many little parts and greeblies love to pop off on these figures and bikes. Can make for an annoying experience. In any case, more pics. Visors up shot: All armor mode shot:

Armored up and ready to kick some Inbit booty:

Sounds like the SAME plot for this low-budget film: Yes, it’s as utterly cheesy, horrid, and silly as what you see in the trailer! 😂
-
It looks well enough, though we’ll see how much paint chipping happened when I put it back into bike mode: Wonder what I was trying to mimic?

Found the full song off the one of the Mospeada soundtracks:

Cue up the intro:

Who rocks it better?

#HouquetRouge! The Tamiya clears are still a royal pain to brush paint. But now, she’s ready to roll with the boys!
-
Yeah, with all the customs I’ve done on 3.75” scale figures, I just have more experiences and am more comfortable brush painting by hand. The Bartley’s parts are too small for me to spray paint using a can. And I have zero experience (or tools) to airbrush. So by default, I have to go with brush painting.

To remove the paint in the helmet visor, just use a few rubbing alcohol pads, a q-tip (or 2 or 3), and a crap-ton of elbow grease. Eventually, the silver paint will rub off. From what I remember, one guy used Tamiya Smoke Clear and whatever Tamiya Clear color to make the visor a little more opaque. Regarding painting the bike, there's a few spots that are just ball-and-socket joints that are relatively easy to pop off. The front/chest assembly, the forearm armors, and the hip guards are fairly easy to pop off. Makes it a little easier to paint. The red paint I'm using is P3 Skorne Red.

That’s some fast work, @tekering! Ms. Emrose’s other bike is still undergoing improvements here at Moggy’s workshop:
-
Nothing. Her bazooka actually can clip into that little indent right above that spot. But that actual grey spot doesn’t do anything. My guess? They’ll probably clip on some weapons in those various slots for those Genesis Breaker figures they’re planning for the future. . . . Which Sentinel can do AFTER the Tread, NOT BEFORE.

But Nolan’s Bats knew when to utilize Bruce to further his Bat-goals, like using Wayne Enterprises to make his suit and the Tumbler or whisking away those hot ballerinas so he had an excuse to “extradited” the Asian banker for the mafia. Pattinson’s Bats hasn’t figured out how to utilize his Bruce Wayne resources just yet.

What’s wrong with it? It’s pink.
-
I can only recall four Bruce scenes from The Batman: * His first return to the Batcave/basement scene; * The brief morning after scene where him and Alfred figure out the drive code; * The funeral scene; and * The Iceberg Lounge scene. Definitely a lot less than any of the Nolan films. Which goes with how the Bruce in this film doesn’t give a damn about his Bruce persona or any of those aspects of his life.
-
The other thing to watch out for is that the windshield and grey instrument panel may not be completely pulled out all the way for bike mode. Mine came out of the packaging looking gappy, because the windshield was partially pushed in. Everything should look flush like that first prototype pic in your post @F360.

So, this is what I meant about the face looking a little more pissed, depending on the angle: Similar angle for the helmeted face: Not sure how much we can tilt the head back to get this angle though.
-
Why do you think I’m repainting it, despite the risk of getting more chips and flakes on it than a Lays and Doritos factory full of shaggy haired teens with dandruff? It’s a damn good sculpt ruined by Sentinel’s insistence to make Houquet pink. . . . Changing gears a little, seeing the unhelmeted head in the box, I wonder if pointing the chin up will help the face look more like Houquet? The facesculpt looks a little more pissed from that extreme angle and it kinda shrinks the vertical gap between the eyes and the nose.
-
Nah @Roy Focker, the pink is pretty noticeable: One half unpainted, the other half painted: Our phones tend to saturate the pics a bit, making the pink look a little more red than it is in real life.
-
Regarding the bazooka, it seems to mount straight on mine. The connecting joint on the weapon rotates pretty much 90 degrees. And the chest/front assembly pieces that the bazooka mounts to can be a little finicky to angle and connect correctly. So, maybe all that’s causing the happy bazooka syndrome?
-
WIP still, but Houquet is feeling feisty and defiant, now that she’s out of the pink. #HouquetRouge!
-
Just got her delivered. . . . Yep, she’s pinkish red (or reddish pink). Give me a couple of days. #HouquetRouge!

Anyone catch Severance on Apple TV+? The premise sounds like some corporation’s perverted twisting of the whole “work-life balance” idea. Except they purposely cut off your brain (with your consent), so that your “work” half and your “life” half don’t know anything about each other. Definitely starts off slow and then twists and disorients you. Hopefully, it doesn’t go off the rails like Lost, and this show actually sticks the landing.
