    "We're in the endgame now".....After 1 1/2 YEARS of work...hard work, setbacks, figuring out how to make a kit designed in the 70's by hand and re-popped in the 90's go together halfway decent, the Titanic (hiiiighly modified to accommodate lighting) and photoetch...sooo much photoetch.... is almost ready to set sail. I figure 3 to 4 more full days of work (mostly rigging) and getting her on the stand and wiring finished up to get her ready for the reveal on Christmas Day to my father-in-law. Final pics soon!

    200% fine if Luthan turns out to be a fallen Jedi. Finished the season last night. Great show. Eagerly await Season 2.

    Did the same guy who directed Bumblebee directing this? I remember he had a hard core love for the series and Bumblebee was pretty darn good.

    @nightmareB4macross - awesome pic/work/play area! LOVING the old school JOE'S! I had the checkpoint and the tent as a kid! The playsets were just the business back in the day! The Televiper was one of my favs too!

    They totally should have had Fred Savage and Jason Hervey do a camo in that episode.....would have been hilarious.

    Wife and I tried 1899 last week and got 3 episodes in and yeeeeh...NOPE. Just don't want or need to see 2 dudes yanking each other off through an iron gate. LOL. Man, those crazy Germans...LOL. Just a bit tooooo out there for us and we like out there.

    THIS! Right HERE! Totally should have spun it somehow that the two were interconnected somehow! Still, I like this epiosode, it's just CREEEEPY AF. Kinda like a good old X-Files episode!

    @mikeszekelyAwesome review!!! I LOOOOOVE my TE-01 with cell shaded front window decals, but I gotta admit, MS-02 looks darn good!!! Christmas present to myself perhaps???.....

    Now we're starting to get excited for this! Also had my first trial run at making "The Marconi Array" today which was suspended between the masts for radio signals. Not bad for a 1st attempt me thinks! I'll plan about 3 hours to do for real eventually on the ship. Getting closer!

    @wm cheng Your Phantome looks AMAZING sir!!! WOW! Always a pleasure to see the master at work! In answer to your question, the line I'm using is called E-Z Line. Model Railroad guys use it for lots of things apparently (those guys know A LOT!) It is stretchy to I believe almost twice its length without breaking, it's really pretty cool stuff. Lots of forgiveness for noobs like me who have never done rigging before!

    All good ideas, I use a paper clip at bent a 90 degree angle snipped off to whatever length I desire in a pin vise for CA glue applications of small parts. Actually, this morning I updated my method even more, now only using Tamiya tape cut down to the exact perfect size in order to make the line lay down flat across the hole. Also switched to my Ultraviolet CA glue. This stuff is AWESOME! If you haven't tried it, do so! No chance of getting the line IN the hole, that just wasn't ever going to be an option because of the 70's design of the kit and how I had to build it to light it. Anywhoooo...3 of 4 funnels now completely done, only half of one funnel remaining for the lines to the deck! WHOO HOO!

    Yesterday's lesson in ship rigging lines ..... I tried yesterday to attach EZ Line to the deck from the smokestacks with just superglue and tweezers. That didn't go well and I was frustrated with myself and ended up with tiny ugly mounds of CA glue which I have now attempted to paint over. From the side view or at arms length you can't see them. Whatever. This morning I decided to build a better mousetrap!!! Tamiya tape and bluetack putty for the win. 🤣

    Yeh it is.

    I gotta say that 1/72 Roy looks damn good. Just wonder how the kit quality is out of the box?....
  18. derex3592
    I mean it's a Typhoon sooo.... Sure! Why not?!! 🤣

    I'm ALL in for a matt finish 27 redo!!! The green one and the other one!

    Shhhhhh.... Don't tell the Father In Law... I'm CHEATING on the Titanic today.... 🤣 OMMGGG...It's sooooo nice..parts that just....fit!!! AMAZING! I'd forgotten what's that like!

    @danth - LMAO - I ranted about this a few pages back... No, I don't think they ever actually do. I've got Cobra Commander on order and Space Homer and I don't expect either one anytime before I retire in about 15 years

    I couldn't care less about the plot or the characters, HOWEVER, as a movie fan, I have a feeling this will be one you WANT to see in the biggest, loudest 3Dest theater you can, Kind of like Top Gun Maverick, it just looses something at home no matter how good your setup is.

    BUT Panthor ISNT FUZZY!!!!!! 😭😭 He's supposed to be velvety and fuzzy!!!! Come on! That's my childhood you're messing with!

    This was one episode I found (and still do find) fascinating. The idea behind the Dyson sphere is just so cool to me. I only wish they had a way larger budget and current CGI to show it more than it was shown in the show. If you think about the sheer size of it, ALL of the blackness of space should have always been filled in full screen with grey surface detail anytime the Ent D was on screen! Like one huge wall of grey that never stopped. Good episode. The scene with Scotty and Picard in the holodeck on the Ent A bridge drinking the whiskey is one of my favs.

    @sh9000 Ohh man, if they didn't include some battle damage parts for when he's getting BLASTED TO DEATH in the shuttle scene, I'd return him!!! Such a brutal death scene for poor Ironhide! 🤣
