    Thank you @Graham. As I said to @jenius, maybe one of these days Sentinel goes Dark with the Legioss & Ride Armors.

    Getting the CM's to stay on in Soldier mode is a total balancing act, in fighter mode it mounts much better. Makes you wonder if Sentinel will attempt the Dark Legioss?
  3. 505thAirborne
    I figured since the Dark Legioss has a red censor, why not give the TREAD some red eyes too. And, yeah, it looks menacing!

    And that's a rap; I'm calling the Dark TREAD/Shadow Beta completed. Eventually this will go back in its MPC box, but for now I'll enjoy it for a bit. Again, a big thank you to all the members who helped out in making this project possible!!!

    Decals arrived this afternoon and they are currently drying on the Beta, those extra JB decals came in very handy. Thank you again for those.

    @MKT Thank you! Enjoy the pics. For those who still have the MPC Alpha's, do not tempt fate, find some Poseable's for Soldier Mode and leave your Alpha in fighter mode.

    A few pics of the Beta with the Pilot-less Dark Legioss & Shadow Fighter.

    Thanks @jenius. Like many, for years & years now I have wanted the Shadow Beta for my collection. With CM's and Toynami never officially offering one, I went for it and made my own... worth it! Right now, it's linked up to a Shadow Fighter, later on I'm going to see if my CM's Pilot-less Dark Legioss will connect with the Beta.

    @Thom Thank you! I've been adding stickers and some decals to the TREAD, she's looking pretty mean right now. I transformed it to Bomber mode and right now she's linked with a Shadow Fighter, I'll take some pics in the morning. Overall, the paint held up nicely during transformation.

    A little something I've been working on.
  11. 505thAirborne
    I'm just going to enjoy it like this for a moment before I add the Jupiter Base stickers & decals. Overall, the colors suggested by @tekering match the Toynami Poseable & CM's Legioss very closely, the Alpha MPC is slightly different but overall, I'm happy with it.
  12. 505thAirborne
    I just need to do some fine tuning & touch up, then it's time to re-assemble!
  13. 505thAirborne
    I think I'm going to paint this armor plates the Dark blue vs. gray, something a little different.
  14. 505thAirborne
    A huge thank you to @pengbuzz & @Mog for helping out with the Jupiter Base decals & stickers. Also, a big thank you to @tekering for the color suggestions. I have one more can of Navy Blue on the way, so I can finish this Dark Tread project. So far everything is moving along nicely. I might be attempting a scratch built front chest plate vs. just flipping down the canopy section.

    We watched WARFARE last night on HBO, a good solid movie. It has that combo of you've been thrown straight into combat like BLACK HAWK DOWN, the nighttime is very Zero Dark Thirty and the visual impact of Saving Private Ryan. It's an hour & a half film that gets right to the point and no need to drag it out. The sound of the rifles, shell casings and that cracking sound must have been deafening in the movie theater.
  17. 505thAirborne
    @Mog & @pengbuzz Thank you so much you two, if you're willing to part with the stickers & those decals, go ahead and PM me, let me know what I owe you and my address. I can definitely make both work for my project.
  18. 505thAirborne
    Hey all, while I have a post in the WANTED section, just asking here too, does anyone have a spare sheet of decals you're willing to part with for a 1/48 Legioss Zeta model kit/Jupiter Base? I no longer have my red MPC Beta or the stickers for my Dark Tread project. Thank you.
  19. 505thAirborne
    @F18LEGIOSS2 That is some amazing craftmanship there, mind if I ask what band or type of styrene you used & where you can get it? I definitely have some scratch building to attempt myself. @nightmareB4macross I get more of my paint delivered tomorrow, so one step closer to being completed. Your 1/55 "Ultra custom" also looks like it's nearing completion. Will you be going with a Roy or Hikaru color scheme?
  20. 505thAirborne
    As I am working on my Dark Tread/MPC Beta project, I'm wondering if anyone ever tried to make a proper 3D printed or resin cover for soldier mode? It looks like Toynami tried in the prototype stages before doing what they did. See the pic posted, you'll see a nice proper flat chest plate cover vs the canopy just folding down. Now that I know the canopy can be removed, I'm wishing I knew how to make these kinds of parts.
  21. 505thAirborne
    Magnets have been my first thought for a while now. I am one of the few who has ZERO issues if something is prefect transformation or not, as long as it looks awesome, I'm good with it.
  22. 505thAirborne
    Here's the Beta all primed up, the Tamiya paint arrived so I'll be giving it a light first coat to start later today. @Mog I actually considered that for a moment but check out the pic I posted, sadly no way that is happening without doing some super major surgery. That said, if one of you Mad-Scientist 3D printers made that upper/shoulder missile rack as some type of add on accessory, I'd be on board.

    STAYC & Boy George having a blast together!

    Since it will be a good year until season 5 of THE BEAR, we stretched it out and finally finished season 4 last night. I loved everything about this season; the Wedding episode was top tier, and the acting & script did not disappoint IMO throughout the season. But of the all the scenes that brought a tear to my eye for sure, and I swear I even clapped, was when Carmy was in his old room and you could clearly see a copy of Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain on his nightstand... pure perfection.

    So many amazing builds & customs going on here, well done everyone! @derex3592 The Cats-eye is looking superb so far! @MechTech From one of the masters of scratch building, I appreciate the compliment on those Nam Helmets. I remember the M3 Flak helmet you posted years ago, I 'm still taken back how you did those flaps, very impressive to this day. @Papa Rat Your VE-1 is a masterpiece, I love the detailing!
