I just go done with Re:Zero Starting Life in Another World last night.  I have to say I quite enjoyed that roller coaster ride.  I liked how all the charterers seemed to grow and react to the events.  I recommend it to people who like fantasy anime,  something I normally don't care for I like robots too much.

I've been working on getting my airbrushes back up and running and working on a fully painted RX-78-2.  Its been a few years since I last airbrushed a model,  But now Ive built a booth and got my compressor and all my guns working, just a few more parts and they will all work at once. :).  

Also this is my first attempt at pre shading,  All of this is practice for when I get to my resin kit Alex.  I really want to do that kit justice.  

But I have a question for the more experienced painters.  I would like to try using Future(Floor wax)  for a decal and panel line layer.  My question is will it work and should I let my base coat cure for a set time.  My base coat is Tamyia Acrylic thinned with lacquer (If you've never tried it, Its amazing changed my life:), Over Tamiya rattle can white primer.  Also I normaly panel line with Tamiya Panel Accent, and clean up with a ear swab damped with lacquer. ?Is that ok with a Future coat? 
also how long to let the Future dry before Tamiya mat top coat? 
And heres a few sheild picks for a bit of WIP, parts are just set together.  Heads up black pre shade wont show through two light coats of dark grey.  

Thanks for the help and ill post a few more WIP pics for fun as I do them, Or learn something to share.

So are I'm assuming that the premium Roy will be available the same places that Hikaru was?  And that the Lancer II will only be on the Arcadia site? 

Well I got my 1/4 Frajya in this week,  Well she was a impulse buy.  This is my first 1/4 figure and wow it's a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Sculpt and paint apps are ok.  But not fantastic.  I hope they do a little better on mirage. 

Holy crap I don't check in for a few day and a pre order goes up.  I almost had a heart attack thinking I missed this one, thankfully HLJ sill had it up.  One secured for me.

Just got done with this guy over the weekend.  I decided to try out the sponge chipping teqneque, tamiya silver and black.  then some weathering pastels. And bam I have a GM that has been to hell and back.

Has anyone looked at these guys, the plug and play aspect is nice but I don't know if it off sets the price.

If you can solder I would just order parts. I'm thinking about trying one on a quick light conversion for a minatures game.

Just imagine if Yamato had continued all VF's in 1/48, the VF-0 and SV-51 would have been massive!!

We can Dream.

Today was a good day for deliveres.

I have confirmation from hlj, now back to bed to dream about valks.

Update on the U2 crash.

I got mine ordered from NY its nice when you can just order, with no scramble.

Anyone still playing The Division on PS4? I just got back to it after two months, I'm enjoying the underground. Its still a game with lots of quirks and problems though.

Info is non existent besides this picture but it was announced about three weeks ago.

Best comparison ever, I laughed hard. I had almost completely forgotten that musical, I'm now listening to it at work. Gilbert Sullivan are still fantastic 150 ish years latter.

Xaos! You don't have to be suicidal or incompetent to work here, but if you weren't you'd be working somewhere else.

Or maybe...

Arad: "When I'm in command, every mission's a suicide mission!"

or better yet...

Arad: "Everything I know about infiltration and stealth I learned from Pirates of Penzance... that's not a problem, is it?"

Just got it. Its my first master file, thicker than I thought. But a quick flip at work tells me I need to get all the others.

Ordered mine from CD Japan, with the latest Walkure CD. It shipped Tuesday, I have hopes of reading and listening Friday.

Still showing in stock shipping late August, that's the same it said when I ordered and it shipped.

Found this in my Facebook today...pretty freaking cool, unfortunately it is a short video.

Always cool to see U-2 stuff, and just a day after the Gary Powers anniversary.

Guessing they're the disguised Texans that were used in "Tora Tora Tora!" and "Pearl Harbour"?

We have a winner. If you squint real hard they look like a Zero.

Last year was worse, there was actually a real zero. It was so cool to see.

Hal9000... is the Red/White giant of a seaplane a Martin Mars?

A few more photos from the day, I didn't take many this year. But this year we got to see the snowbirds and man they were amazing.

Points to anyone who can tell me what's wrong with the row of "Zeros"

Some more fun stuff to share.
