  1. @pengbuzz Color me intrigued!
  2. Thank you! I'll have to check those out.
  3. Yeah, I think I'm going to have to buy the 1/48 as a tester.
  4. Yeah, I have a 1/48 Legios that I have (distant) plans of doing the same, and now maybe with a 1/48 VF-1 too. The one thing I don't like about the VF-1 is its small size. From when I was a kid, I just always thought it was comparabale in size to the Tomcat. Butr plant it next to a VF-0 or 25 and it looks dinky. IMO.
  5. Hello there, I am thinking about buying the 1/48 VF-1 kit, but I was wondering about size. Specifically, if someone could do a side-by-side with a 1/72 jet like the F-14, that would be great. Thom
  6. Baby got back! And yeah, I could mean the mecha...😜
  7. Sad news indeed, esp in so shocking a way. RIP good sir, and Mrs. and doggo...
  8. Nice VF @Cheese3!
  9. As said, way too young! She's still young Dawn to me, c;mon! And found by her mother, that must have been devastating. RIP and Godspeed.
  10. Been there for the first happy day being 'adopted' by the four-legged overseers all the way to the last... We know the highs and lows right along with you.
  11. The thing is, we (I) can get so reliant on one service that I stop shopping around at other places. There's an ebook I bought just a short while ago on Amazon and looking around, I found and downloaded the epub for free. Not that I'm going to do that a lot, I'd rather pay for a book and give the author their due, but a free version of a book I've already bought? Okay. I should also shop around at Barnes and Noble as well, though I do stop in their local store every week.
  12. @derex3592 Have fun with the compressor - after the remodelling! Should be all good and worth it in the end though. @pengbuzz Once again a cool build from PengYards! Just keep making your dreams a reality! @arbit You (and the Scion) did a great job! Hearing the opening soundtrack in my head. As to my project, I was able to mate the Tamiya intake trunking/nose gear well with the Hasegawa cowling. Was a bit of work with cutting and sanding and testing and adding back plastic... Not a good shot, but it is now a lot deeper than the Hasegawa part. Then I did a test fit and... uh oh... oh no! Somewhere in all the cutting and hacking, and a bent wing, the true went out the window! I stepped back from it for a night to thunk on the matter, then popped the Hasegawa 'insert' out from the belly and reglued it. It is now proud on one side and shamed on the other, but the inlet is more in-line as to what it should be. I'll need to 'adjust' its mating surface to take care of the rest - and then fill in that big depression on that one side and sand down the other... Just parr for the course I guess. Thom
  13. I have bought a lot of ebooks but very seldom their paper copies (when available.) I think from now on I'll use Amazon for the preview and buy the paperback (when available) or hunt for the e-title elsewhere. They want to eff around? Okay.
  14. Ever too true! The only thing people really own is phsyical.
  15. Just FYI for those not aware, on Feb 26, Amazon will be removing the Download Option on their Kindle. This option allows you to download the ebook you have bought onto your personal computer. Without it, they can adjust content of a book you have already bought or, as has happened in the past, delete the book entirely from your Library. Have fun getting a refund... If you haven't already, I'd suggest downloading your favorites now. Personally, I've started moving back to physical media (paper books) just for the joy of them, but being abkle to keep what I have purchased is a nice bonus. A good saying I came across on youtube is, "If Purchasing is not Owning, then Piracy is not Stealing."
  16. Box art gonnna box artπŸ˜‰
  17. I do prefer the movier version Meltrandi ships. I like those sharp, sleeker angles. I always figured they were that way because the gun pods, when belly mounted, were 'grip-up' so the logo was correct in that orientation.
