505thAirborne

My newest acquisitions. 

 Start the new year off with a laugh!!

If you feel the temptation to watch this one... don't, it's an absolute waste of time.

Those pilots are looking good @pengbuzz.

@arbit The helmet is coming along great!

And alright, this Beast is nosing out of her cave after a near decade long hibernation!

I want to see this completed!! 

Be glad that you (like me) bought these years, the Moebius kits are going for insane prices lately, especially the Pegasus & Galactica.

Great progress! I went through this whole process with my Beagles as well. Tried the peroxide approach to whiten the yellow bits, which looked great for awhile but then they just turned yellow again (even stored in the closet). So I bit the bullet and repainted them, and am much happier with the result. Disassembly of the bike can be a little terrifying, as the back end is glued together. But if you take it slow you should be all right.

As far as the rider's legs, I never got them apart, but you shouldn't need to take them apart if you just mask carefully. Likewise I was able to preserve the markings on the bike and rider with masking, though I had some IMAI model kit decals on hand just in case.

I used Vallejo Mecha Color 69 014 Grey Green, and found it to be a good color match.

For the fabric suit I scraped off all the flakey bits and dyed the cloth with Rit.

Fantastic repaint & restoration, It's a shame these Ride Armor's yellow like that but at least there's a paint color that matches. 

Damn, that is a ton of boxes but seriously, have a blast building that bad boy! 

Newest addition to the Squadron. 

Welcome back Brendan Fraser. 

Quentin Tarantino is still asking... "did I help direct or produce this??"

I highly recommend this one!! 

I'm still on the hunt for one.

I do like Eddie Murphy, so hopefully this will be good

Ever since Pluto Nash Eddie seems to be a lot more selective with his roles, fingers crossed this one is funny. 

From this scene in Flashback 2012 the Megaroad-01 dwarfs the SDF-1, for an accurate 1/4000 build it would have to be pretty damn big... correct?

While you're at it Bandai, you can do this one too.

If you're a BoJack Horseman fan, you know this scene.

Wife and I tried 1899 last week and got 3 episodes in and yeeeeh...NOPE.  Just don't want or need to see 2 dudes yanking each other off through an iron gate. LOL. Man, those crazy Germans...LOL. Just a bit tooooo out there for us and we like out there.

And it's boring, I gave up by episode 4.

WTF.

Toynami has no bounds. They actually polish turds. Wasn’t Evolution Toys Legioss a hot mess of problems right out the gate, just like the VF-2SS?

Hmmm, the Zeta in this HG picture has a slightly different paint job, more white on the wings vs. the Evo Toys release.

Interestingly I though something was a little off with ep. 5. It seemed to have lost something. Then watched two more today. They were "off" too. Then I noticed Tim Burton only directed the first four episodes.

Hmmm, I'm only two episodes in. Gotta see this through! LOL

Wednesday is awesome, really enjoying it so far. Jenna Ortega was the right choice, I'll always be a Christina Ricci fan but Jenna is right up there. 

@Chunky001As long as "the message" doesn't go The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina levels, I'm good.
