    NOT impressed AT ALL with Cardograph water slide decals on the Academy B1. Didn't expect to be tripped up by decals....Uhhgg.....🤬

    DHL dropped Max on my doorstep at 7:35PM tonight. Pretty damn impressive seeing as I got the shipping notification from them Wednesday morning at 7:00AM. Didn't expect to see it till next week with Thanksgiving going on. No damage to box. DHL is ALWAYS perfect for me. LOVE the text notification and the digital sign for no signature delivery with them! 100000% better than USPS.🤮

    One has to wonder....after this thing is released and out in the wild for a while...will the old Yamato version continue to go up in price or will it sink down eventually? I know this much, I'm not giving mine up anytime soon, whether I get the new Chunky Monkey DX or not....

    Yamato ONCE AGAIN wins the day over Bandai, OVER ten years ago....

    Well, that's pretty much the absolute best one of those I've ever had the privilege of laying eyes upon! Absolutely incredible build!

    Today the B1 got Mr Surfacer 1500 White and I tried out AKs Real Colors Gunship Gray. Layes down nicely. Used my GSI Creos .03 for both.

    Massive bench updates : 1/72 Academy Blackbird got Mr Surfacer 1500 Black today, looks fantastic. 1/144 Academy B1B Lancer is built and ready for priming, Construction continues on the 1/35 Tamiya M2A2 Bradley. Endless sanding of seams and priming engineering section of 1/1000 TOS Enterprise continues. Last but not least.... I would like to announce a "resurrection" of sorts... 4 years ago my Captain America Cat's Eye got put on permanent hold due to a massive painting blunder. Over the years I have worked slowly with one q-tip at a time scrubbing away the gloppy hardened mess to get back down to the bare resin. Today I threw some Mr Surfacer 1500 Black on some of the totally clean sections and it looks good! I think eventually I can save this awesome kit! 😁

    GREAT job @tekering! Turned out perfect! Just out of curiosity, what paints did you use?

    I built a BONE today... This is the Academy 1/144 kit. What is in the picture is all I have needed to build this. Absolutely FANTASTIC kit so far. Fit is 99.9% perfect. Decals are Cartograph so no worries there. I cut out a little hatch in the back cockpit wall to simulate the tunnel to the back, you'll never see it, but whatever. Decent detail for a 1/144 cockpit. My ONLY nitpick is no pilots! They did include cockpit masks so that's a HUGE help for me! Highly recommended!

    @tekering I totally sympathize with your quandary about the color. In the end, after re-watching the Robotech Remastered DVD's, which look pretty darn good in my opinion color wise on a professionally calibrated 65" plasma back in the day, I closed my eyes and just remembered what 10 year old me thought the color was and after ENDLESS searching ended up mixing a custom color from Rust-O-Leum spray paints decanted and airbrushed on. There's a couple of spray can colors that are sooo close, but nothing I found was close enough, so I color mixed. Rust-Oleum 2X Spray Paint (which does decant and airbrush VERY nicely) has Nantucket Blue, Satin Lagoon and Satin Teal which you might find interesting depending on how green or blue you wish to go.... Tamiya TS-10, TS-44 and TS-54 gets really close IMHO now though...But it's metallic.

    That entertainment earth price is GOOD! I love this line but yeh, at retail, it's pricey!
  22. derex3592
    @tekering ABSOLUTELY phenomenal!!! Bravo sir!
  23. derex3592
    It IS a gorgeous paint scheme! Arcadia should do it in 1/60...HINT HINT

    @pengbuzz Breetai looking GOOD! Haven't had much model time to speak of lately due to family situations/work life and a million other things. I did however pick up two new kits for the stash with Amazon reward points and finally got my Blackbird pilots painted and in the cockpit, the cockpit masks on and in place. Stay tuned!

    That's amazing. Holes need to be bigger though!
