    @Big s It's an artistic choice after all. Nothing is better per se. If you happen to like the expression the panel lines create, emphasize them with black. @Papa Rat I use gouache colors for the panel lines, they're odorless and can easily be corrected with a damp fingertip. I also tried Ammo washes, which flow nicely, but their light grey is actually brown. Nice choices for your next kits, though the Neptune and the Babylon are tough ones IMO. @Urashiman It's moving without movement 😄

    @Papa Rat Your finish is excellent, and it really shows in the new photos. One suggestion for your next build: Try grey panel lines instead of black - it gives a softer, more integrated overall appearance while still emphasizing the subtle details.

    @kajnrig I don't know much about AOZ, but the Rehaze was the first image I saw from the reboot years ago.

    And now A.O Z.

    Fresh from the Yokohama Volks expo – pics of the new IMS Patrathingy KOG and 1/100 Engage SR4 garage kit.

    Don't you have a localized Goodsmile & PLAMAX shop? I use the EU outlet, and the retail prices are a bit higher than in Japan, but that is easily compensated saving customs & shipping costs.

    @Chronocidal Platz made a resing kit of the Fand 2. I finished it right to the notorious cockpit pod. @wm cheng The F/A-27 and the Sylpheed have regular cockpit interiors, but the resin canopys are not great.

    @wm cheng Stunning work as always - you created a beautiful beast that looks like it came from the future. You could easily pass this as photos of a 1/48 kit. As for UMa Models, I think their Harrier got good reviews.

    @Papa Rat The Speltor is really the epitome of Nagano's Renaissance Robot Design 😍 Great work on the finish! And yeah, stick to the tape.

    FYI Robin Hood was already dark & depressing back in 1976.

    @MechTech That actually is a Tucano (not Super Tucano)

    I need to build a plane for my rotating propeller, so let's bring some color to these winter days.

    Oh sorry, that sentence wasn't directed at you at all 😅

    @Thom here's something from the IMDB trivia section for you: IMO there's no reason not to praise this show – who would have thought that you could put basically "The Breakfast Club" and "John Carpenter's The Thing" in a blender and create not only a tentpole of streaming entertainment for most ages, but also a monument to nerd culture. My wife and her co-workers were on the hype train for weeks, and did we enjoy the ride. Was the final season perfect - maybe not, but entertaining & satisfying all the way. The feeling after the final episode brought me right back to a summer in my younger days when I had just finished another epic Stephen King novel, the mind still reeling from the experience, and reality some distance away. Also, let's go full circle and have Jamie Campbell Bower star in a Clockwork Orange remake, and Joe Keery as Snake Plissken.

    BTW Chris Foss did the basic design for the Eagle Transporter: And there is a tribute piece in the first Star Wars movie:

    Ok back to Hasegawa everyone 😀 I love the texture here:

    We can't talk about British SF influences without mentioning Chriss Foss. One of the most prolific and unique SF artist since the late 70s. You couldn't walk into a bookstore without noticing one of his wild cover illustrations back then. He was part of the Jodorowski Dune design team and contributed some preliminary art to the Alien movie. To this day, I'm waiting for a big SF production to fully utilize his style.

    @all Looking forward to see your exciting work in the new year! Here's my output for 2025:

    Another early treasure trove of spaceship designs is "Space: 1999", showcasing the talents of model builders Brian Johnson (2001, The Empire strikes back) and Martin Bower (Alien, Outland, Flash Gordon). Both never bore the title concept designer, but their hands-on approach produced iconic ships like the Eagle Transporter and the Nostromo.
