  1. 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.
  2. Thanks @tekering, I'm definitely seeing that Navy blue too. Just ordered both cans.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. @jenius Delivering the goods!!
  7. The moment you wish you had & knew how to use a 3D printer. SSWA.
  8. I was just going to post this one, we just watched it. For those curious, it's a film in 4 parts/chapters, has an 80's vibe to it, good solid acting, you start to question if Tarantino had any involvement and then you realize you're watching one of the better movies made in a very long time. I recommend it. The first 2 parts are ok, part 3 is where it kicks into high gear.
  9. @davidwhangchoi It's definitely good to see more Mospeada toys & merch showing up. The question is will Sentinel take the plunge and make the Dark Legioss aka Shadow fighter, both variants. I'm tapped out currently moneywise, so I'm living vicariously through everyone here who got the Sentinel Tread, it looks really good. For now, I'm thankful I still have my Beta's.
  10. Looking forward to your review.
  11. Eunha and Isa together, yeah, life is good.
  12. If I remember correctly, for the V.2 hands to work on a Yamato or Arcadia VF-0, you'd need to do modifications for those to work.
  13. I've been using the V.2 1/60 hands for years now. No mods required, they just plug right in, nice & snug.
  14. The first 3 seasons of Gemstones are solid gold. The season 4 opener is probably the best the of the show, then it gets a bit over the top silly and cringe at times (Uncle Baby Billy for sure) but gets back on track and wraps up nicely. Overall, it's a great series and Danny McBride has definitely proven he's a creditable actor, writer & director. I look forward to his next projects.
  15. I could be wrong, but I think someone here on the forums did attempt making 3D replacement parts for the VF-11's a few years ago. If someone did, hopefully they post a link.
  16. Pats on the back are awesome!! Those display cabinets are very impressive. So, you still have Mac Plus, Mac 7, Zero, Frontier, (possibly some Macross II) to set up and of course you're forever favorite Delta.
