Good job! Of course, you could be shot on here for what some might refer to as "desecrating" a Yamato to make an RT valk. Oh well, like I said, it's a cool custom in my book.

Very nice brushwork. Wish I was that good with a brush. What's your secret?

I've heard horror stories about Wave plastic being not as good, but the small few Wave kits I've done seem identical to Hasegawa/Bandai quality wise. Of course I've only done the 0S, and a couple Mk kits.

Someday I swear I'll sit down and do a papercraft model. I've always wanted to make one, but I have too much kits/customs projects in backlog.

Bandai 1/48 Scale Macross Frontier Model Kit Thread
Excillon replied to azrael's topic in Model kits
Not bad sizes, a little disappointing though in a way. For such a large scale I was hoping for more, but numbers don't lie. Oh well. I hope it's actually NOT anime accurate...I'd love something ala Strike PG (Beecraft design) vs. Anime Strike. It doesn't have to be accurate, just superior. -
Archie Comic book love triangle FINALLY getting resolved
Excillon replied to Einherjar's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Smart man, that was my choice easily. Obviously more of a freak, and money to boot. Betty just seemed to missionary... -
Star Trek hand down...followed by the respectable District 9. All the rest blow.

Wait, full armor PG RX-78? What the hell is that? Do you mean the RX-78 GP01 FB?
-
Normally I order 2 of a PG kit, but this one is only going to be one, since I'm not big on 00 and I'm not a big fan of this design.

The Death of ADV Films (1992-2009)
Excillon replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Shame, I liked some ADV stuff. Too bad it isn't HG. I don't even know how the hell they manage to stay in business. -
The death of an Australian Icon......
Excillon replied to taksraven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I thought the only dead icon was Steve Irwin. On one hand, I felt bad, on the other hand, he had it coming from a probabilty standpoint. Name of that movie sounds familiar though, wonder if I've seen it? -
White Lion: Hair metal...Quiet riot...more hair metal...and I hate Led Zepplin almost as much as Ozzy and Pink Floyd. The bands you mentioned are a little too "Wayne's world" for me. Changed it up a bit this weekend...listened to old school Ministry, Puppy, FLA, 242, TKK and KMFDM. Very 80's industrial weekend, I think I went through the entire Wax Trax catalog!
-
I know...it's just that it feels like robbery because I have every PG to date, so I feel forced to buy this.
-
Just preordered the PG 00 raiser...300 motherf***ing dollars! Rediculous...absolutely rediculous.
-
Bravo! I am impressed...I didn't think it would come out nearly this good.
-
Nice work
-
Good question, I was rather enjoying the PG vs. "real model kit" debates.

The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day
Excillon replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yeah because he isn't creepy enough, we need to relive him in drag... Seriously though, I can't wait. One of the most anticipated films of the year in my book.- 35 replies

fantastic four : rise of the silversurfer
Excillon replied to Aegis!'s topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Meh, if they don't do Galactus justice, or show Annihilus, they suck. I've never pulled for a villian that badly until I saw these movies. I wish Dr. Doom would have killed them all. Of course, I'm dreading the Avengers movie, because anything with Thor just sucks donkey nads.- 97 replies

I can answer these mold questions. What they do is called a reverse molding. They disassemble a figure, make a temp mold, then use the temp mold to make a permanent mold using imaging and some serious fine milling. You need a really flawless figure to this for one (no nicks/imperfections), and two, it is a VERY expensive process. That's why they redid Soundwave, as he was a more popular figure than say Wheeljack. As for the bootleggers, what they do is just make temp molds using reverse molding rather than make a permanent one, and keep using temp molds to make production figures. It's an ok process for a while, but if you're unlucky and get a figure cast from the tail end of the mold's lifespan, you'll see waviness in the plastic, panels not quite the right size and blemishes. It's basically a gamble on what you get. Odds are you'll get a decent one, but eventually, you will end up with a nasty figure.

I say this about Iron Maiden: Big hair+Bangs+tight pants+double guitars+high pitch vocals+4 min. solos = glam/hair band/Cock rock. The only band that I felt were mislabeled from that time were Guns 'N Roses. For obvious reasons. Axl had a more diverse vocal range, Slash was more in tune with 60's rock and blues, and Duff and Izzy were more punk sounding than anything else. But Maiden, despite having cool album covers (I remember having a Tailgunner shirt and poster), are hair metal. As for the Maiden girl cover band, with the exception of the 2 on the right...gag me. Well, with the right beer goggles prescription maybe. Even the 2 on the right I'd give a 6 tops. As for talented or not, I couldn't say as I've never heard them however if they're playing swap meets, that's generally not a good sign. On a different note, I'm listening to a lot of Merzbow and Boom Boom Satellites lately. Seems like the Japanese music scene is so much more ecclectic and just flat out better the past few years. Everything in America seems to be Emo, R+B/Rap, pop or recycled metal.

dobber, that camo job is nuts...I know you explained it, but I'll never understand HOW you pulled it off. I'd lose patience with it after a while. Awesome job.
