    A little something I've been working on.

    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.

    I just need to do some fine tuning & touch up, then it's time to re-assemble!

    I think I'm going to paint this armor plates the Dark blue vs. gray, something a little different.

    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.

    @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.

    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.

    @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?

    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.

    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.

    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!

    @Mog I'm using this MPC for the Dark Tread, surprisingly it was very easy to disassemble, and the plastic used it excellent. no signs of wear & tear on it. The missile bay section is a delight in that the panels just slide out; no masking needed for those. @tekering offered some good suggestions for colors to use, so I have some Tamiya spray paint cans on the way, sadly none of my local hobby shops sell Tamiya brand. I miss my old hobby shop from CA, Smith Bros. had everything.

    Not Macross or Anime related, but these custom Vietnam M1 helmets are on my workbench at the moment. Mospeada related, I'll be working on a Dark Tread/Shadow Beta soon, I'll be using the MPC Beta that never was as my guide. I'm just waiting for the paint to arrive.

    Thanks @tekering, I'm definitely seeing that Navy blue too. Just ordered both cans.

    Hi all, I am starting a new custom project on an MPC Beta Fighter aka Mospeada Tread. For those of you who still have a MPC Shadow Fighter, does anyone have a clue what shade that thing actually is? I always remembered it being very dark & light gray combo. I pulled it out yesterday & realized that it's some shade of deep/dark blue, hint of purple perhaps... and the lighter shade is like a bluish-gray, maybe slate blue? Any advice would be helpful. I'd like the Alpha & Beta match up as much as possible.

    I was just browsing YT and noticed you reposted this video, for a moment I thought you got hit with a copyright warning. Looking forward to your detailed review of the Tread, maybe even a comparison between Sentinel & the older Toynami Betas.

    Watched episode 1, not impressed with the story & plot so far. I might watch more of it later but I'm in no hurry. I would much rather finish up Wednesday, The Bear, King of the Hill and Strange New Worlds. For me there is only ALIEN & ALIENS, both masterpieces in their own ways, just like there is only The Terminator & T2.
