Sorry to hear that @pengbuzz! Hopefully the housing situation straightens out for you. Really hoping things start breaking your way!

This is the TOS Enterprise. I no longer have the ability to mold new ones, as my heat gun died some time back and finances are so tight now (thanks to tariffs and such) that buying even model cement is impossible.

  

No, I have no materials for that; all I have now is what is on hand. We're now in "survival mode". Once I run out of supplies, my modeling is over. We just got word today that we may not even have a place to live in the months to come.

It's that bad.

Anyways, this is going on indefinite hiatus, and possibly disposal, as we now need to make some hard choices.

 

Sorry to bother everyone.

I do truly hope things change for you. It sounds terrible and I really wish you the best and a whole lot of luck.

I’m so sorry to hear about your situation. That’s horrible. I hope things change for you and your family. ♥️

Thanks for the reference material. Very cool. The head on the runner is exactly like the one that came in that VF-1D fighter. 

Alleged 1C prototype parts to add further to the mystique...

Little buddy says hi. I think it came out ok. Pretty much a straight build. I think it needs some weathering.

@woodsider Thanks. I’m having a blast. 
These are the next two on the bench.

Night modeling!

AK Real Color F-15 Modern Eagle 🦅 Gray went down this morning and it's very nice paint, however nowhere near as dark as I was thinking it was going to be, so tomorrow morning I will start laying down light coats of Vallejo Medium Gunship Gray and see where we end up! Stay tuned!

Looks really interesting. A good dirt wash will bring it out though
