    Painting over yellow really sucks though.
  3. same for me I am excited!
  4. Hahahaha. The AI overdub is beautiful. Hahaha I’m excited to build this beast! Just received it from my private warehouse yesterday. ♥️
  5. Today
  6. Looks great! I love the comparisons, always interesting. I also really like the blue colored look.
  7. i did get a fragment gundam from nyc from the times square store. i think i'm out of metal builds and might get one or two occasionally but going to focus on macross.
  8. Yellowjackets Season 3 finale... Now that is how you end a season and leaving the fans hanging on for the next one!! 1923 was awesome, hate to see it end but a damn good show all the way through. HBO's THE PITT, by far the best thing on right now, I highly recommend it.

    Yeah that's definitely how I would make the custom. Although I'd have to get a spare Fire Valkyrie and that scheme is not high on my list. I usually make customs of canon schemes but Skull Squadron variants are always welcome.
  10. I get that, and I didn't expect to find three empty M.2 slots, but I figured maybe three with one occupied by the system drive. If you're already advertising that you have bluetooth and wifi 6 just don't count that as an M.2 slot even though it's technically in an M.2s slot, because very few people are willing to give up wifi and bluetooth to add another SSD.
  11. I was trying to avoid a spoiler but yes... quite how they got it out of Brights hands without him slapping the boarding force out of existence is going to have to be one of many questions they'll need to answer... 😄(I am aware that that there was more than one of the same class of ship... )
  12. Thanks for the comparison pics, and great work on the Wave kits! I especially like the blue one. 😁 As always, I'm grateful Moscato Hobby manages to capture mecha designs with more accurate proportions than the licensed manufacturers (vintage or modern)... Mind you, that Yamato's no slouch either.
  13. That AI-generated translation is gloriously epic FAIL. 🤪
  14. I’m back! After mentioning I had a Tomahawk in the works in my phalanx post and then proceeding to do nothing with it for months, I can finally show it off. The Tomahawk has always been my favorite of the non-transforming stompy Macross designs ever since I was young. This may explain why I have wound up with multiple. In my defense, I started an ARII kit (we’ll get to that later!) long before I knew the Wave kits were even a thing. But that got set aside for a long while, and then I found the Wave kits. I really like the Wave kit, even if some of the gimmicks come out a bit too tight once paint is applied. I think in total it’s something I can be happy to have on my shelf. And I appreciate the face has a lot of detail. Hi ho, Kermit the Frog here But as mentioned, I did have an ARII tomahawk, and after finishing the Wave design I thought I’d finish up that gray-blue menace and compare the two. Presenting, my ARII tomahawk. Honestly it holds up great for an old kit. The two are very comparable. In fact, if I didn’t know better, I’d say they’re- Oh. Yes, I’ve deceived you (which you hopefully realized when you read the title of the post). As it turns out I have not two tomahawks but THREE. the ARII design is saddened by the deception. When all I had was the ARII kit I decided to paint it closer to the show I knew. It wasn’t 100% the same but I wanted something like that tan design I thought I remembered from the show, even if it was basically a color swap of the ARII manual. So I repainted it. I ALSO swapped the legs on the IMAI defender kit I was working on simultaneously with the ARII legs because I liked them better and, as previously mentioned, the Tomahawk has always been my favorite. I got it all together, ready for detailing…and then stopped. And then found the Wave designs. I built a wonderful new tomahawk. And then I got a bundle deal for a defender and another Wave tomahawk. It was the cheapest option I could find for a defender somehow. So, inspired by the ARII art and the decals I still hadn’t applied, I wound up with a blue Wave tomahawk. I styled it as an early variant since the art had a red visor and I found a Mecha index tidbit stating that earlier variants were deployed with red visors. Then I decided to style it as a Marines unit like the VF-0C Hasegawa made, deployed to the Prometheus. All the UN MARINES logos were individually assembled from third party decal letters, while the numbers were individually assembled from numbers that Wave at least included as optional decals. Fun times. Meanwhile, the decals I stole from the ARII kit were old and very much disintegrating on me. Even more fun times as I tried to fix those with paint. Still, I like the result. You’d almost never know the “VAM” in the leg art is hand drawn from fragments of decal that were still available and paint marker. By the time I was decalling and panel-line-ing the ARII design I already had one wonderful completed Wave kit. So I didn’t use as much care as I could’ve to finish it. That, plus decals that I decided not to fix meant the end product is much more rough. But hey, better a kit I decided to quickly finish than one I never finished at all! Anyway, this post is way too long now, so from all three of my tomahawks, farewell and thanks for reading!
  15. Yeah, these new PC cases got bigger and heavier with the tempered glass to show off the RGB lights and is why I passed on them for my next build. Ended up buying a ASUS AP201 MFF case which is way lighter and has enough space for my RTX 5080 and a HDD. My build will be all stealth black, no RGB, which I think is distracting and just another thing to manage which I don't want. I just want excellent performance in a PC!
