    Man that does look nice. Maybe I should get two after all...
  2. Oh heck, it's Christmas! Downvotes for everyone!

    Oh god Yahoo mail? What is this, the middle ages?
  4. Haha well the shading was actually the fastest part of the work. The panel lines and decals took much longer. I just took a quick & light approach for the most part. Once you get the hang of it it goes really fast. Yeah, it's just the white that you need to go heavy on. I think I'll have to experiment with the burnt metal powder next time around.
  5. A Yeti adapter for the Calibre Wings F-14 would be cool. But I don't want to overload CY with too many demands.

    I'm also quite upset that NY hasn't sent me a VF-31A.
  7. So you're into dressing up as anime characters? ...so, are you married?

    If it's essentially a repurposed VF-19 Advance, then it'll really just be a matter of personal preference. Trying to prove that one is objectively better than the other is a fool's errand.
  9. It fades a lot when coated. To get it to show up properly, I have to apply it pretty heavily before coating it. Wish I had a 'before' picture but this is the final result after applying it pretty liberally then coating it.
  10. Oh yeah, definitely. Don't want any work smudging off. It's also not that glossy in person. It's the bright lights. I need a better diffuser.
  11. If only ET gave us something half as good as that!
  12. Great display but I think it'll look even better with a clear stand! I thought it it's in line with the wasteland we saw in the series.

    28k sounds like a reasonable estimate of the price. Pretty expensive. At that price I'll have to limit myself to one. We'll find out in a few days!

    You can thank the Germans for this (seriously). You lost an hour of sleep because of Kaiser Wilhelm.

    USA is on daylight saving time now. One hour forward.
  16. Whoa that thing is huge! Is that 1/60 scale? For some reason I always thought the X-9 was smaller, like Luca's Ghosts.

    4/27 16:00 in Japan means you'd have to be ready at 3 AM Eastern time very early Friday morning.

    If anyone does receive an open item covered in orange Cheetos fingerprints, please post pictures.
  19. Thanks man! Yeah they were stolen from a Hasegawa kit. I have dozens of decal sheets from various kits and third party sellers from ebay that have reprinted them from.

    Just got billed by HLJ for it. Man the exchange rate sucks right now, though not as bad as it was around 2008-2012.

    Christ man that really is a toy store!
  22. Thanks Saburo! Nah, I'm gonna stick with the semi-gloss finish. Less realistic but more like something from an anime.
  23. Thanks noel. It's probably just the lighting. I didn't give it a gloss coat but it does reflect a lot of light from certain angles. There was no head swapping like my TV Roy.

    Does the fold booster light up and vibrate?
