    ...but, it was Agatha, all along. Which I felt was just an 'out' for Wanda's character to not be the one at fault for what happened in WandaVision. And, I felt, done a little crudely, with how Agatha just came out of nowhere. Haven't seen the first eps yet, but I hope they are leaving her evil.

    It was no problem, dude!

    This looks like the one I bought. on ebay.

    The thread title gave me flashbacks to the Wingman book series by Mack Maloney.

    Dang, he sure has grown way past Twilight!

    There's a scene in the trailer where they show water flooding an intersection. Without any further checking, I think this may take place during the Batman.

    Yeah, I got no interest in seeing it, regardless.

    @Spacecore Thank you! Just trying to do a good job on it. And if you feel some angst about the Andromeda model, I won't show you the remains of the Ginga...

    Ouch!! I saw the first pic and I felt that in my gut! I hope the corrective measures work, but even if not, you know there is still good plastic underneath all of that. Good luck!

    Quite the happy accident @pengbuzz!

    Good episode 5. I agree with @Big s that it does feel like events are moving a little fast.

    @pengbuzz that's cool!

    Alright, more updates! You'll see in the pics, I started adding the normal bits and pieces here and there, finishing the hull up. Some of those are the wings for the bow. No. Wings on a space battleship feels a bit incongruous to me, which is one reason why I never build the Yamato with them deployed. So those will be deleted. First, I needed to cut some material off from them in order to fill the then open trench in the sides. Those pieces were then glued and fared in. The long PE piece that was going to be the side missile arrays are the perfect size to cover the trenches and those now become forward mounted chaff/flare/decoy dispensers. From there we move to the pods slung under the hull. I had considered grafting the mountings from the kit part to the new housing, but that would be a lot of work, so I decided to just pin them. But first, because the angles are different between the new housing and old kit part, I needed to add material to the struts, otherwise both pods would have a 'toe-in' when they were mounted. The white is the added material. Sandwiched plastic strip and CA, all sanded nice and smooth. Then were then drilled for cut down satin pins to serve as mounting pins. Then I had to mark and drill the spot on the new housing for them, trying to make sure they are even from side to side. I had glued some extra stryene in there to give the glued pins something more the grab onto. I put three pins in per strut. Maybe a little overkill, but it doesn't hurt, and because the pins are all slightly misaligned, there is a comfortable bit of friction to help hold it in place. I'm still going to glue them of course. And a shot of the mounting pins and both pods test-fitted. I think I am close to paint-stage now. Woohoo!! Thom

    I have that pile too! Someday I'll have to start hitting the back-log.

    @Spacecore That lighting looks great! Love the blinkies and can already imagine it recreating that scene!
  16. Thom
    That was a good episode.

    I ended up not using nearly any of the PE that was set out. A few pieces here and there was all. I used styrene stock to make some missile hatches down the side below the superstructure and little details on the deck, reminiscent of what was on the original piece. For the base of the superstructure, I replaced the vents that were there (but were damaged) with some from a 1/72 TIe Interceptor, and added some misc shapes and machinery on both sides. And mocked up to see how we're going. Still a few bits to add, but we're getting there! Thom

    Came back from watching 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,' and though I like to give movies a bit more leeway, this one... I was sadly disappointed. There's a lot of flash and nostalgia, but the story just wasn't there. That's not to say there was no story, but it was lost amid useless scenes and characters. the most I enjoyed about it, other then Jenna Ortega, was the intro. Sadly this movie should have been cut down and new scenes added to flesh out the two main arcs, that being Astid/Jeremy and Lydia/Beetlejuice/Delores. My suggestion, wait for it on streaming.

    RIP, Mr. Jones.

    Thank you! I appreciate the offer, but the scale would be off too, as this is 1/1000. Although, compared to the old version, which was 1/700, there is still not much of a size difference.

    Problems with decals or not, that is a gorgeous looking model! This is the one from DYRL, right, cause if I remember correctly, they didn't have the Ostrich in the original Macross series.

    I'm pretty sure I've seen here where one of our esteemed fellow modellers did do a bridge dio. It was pretty neat!

    Figures always give a great sense of scale, not that I have any. Figures that is, not sense of scale! Although, sometimes my sense of scale...

    @Wewyllenium Some nice paint effects on the Barrier parts. @F18LEGIOSS2 Nice! Is this 1/72 or /48?
