  1. One method is to slowly pour a very thin stream of resin into the mold so any trapped bubbles get to the surface of the stream and burst.
  2. Hellooo grey market... Let's wait until Disney and Bandai sort it out how much there is to gain/loose with an extended license.
  3. Don't be fooled! That's clearly an X-9 under the wrap!
  4. For the camouflage fans: Hasegawa has announced a kit of the Eurofighter with the Battle of Britain markings: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/02173/
  5. Finally got around to modify the gun handle and paint the backpack
  6. Before this franchise is entirely forgotten, there's a Chamber plastic kit coming from Max Factory: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10345318
  7. 1/38 all the way! http://blog.naver.com/seolpung/30000375854
  8. Platz' 1/72 Yukikaze & Mave kits are re-released in September: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10042960 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10031792
  9. Things left to do: - add replacement Builders Parts hands - modify gun handle - finishing touches on the backpack - apply more decals
  10. Those are Bandai's waterslides for the HGUC Unicorn. I ordered a couple of sheets & now I can katokify anything. The Anaheim logos are from a Sentinel sheet. IMO the added graphics work wonders on the ZII design. I have finished the legs now and the whole thing looks like a really expensive designer toy
  11. I should have bought a spare Regult and go all Giger on it...
  12. I started to Katokify my ZII and can confirm that painting the leg thrusters is a real pain. Everything else is going nicely, and I appreciate the stickers for the little yellow bits. I'll definitely leave off the bazookas.
  13. I always imagined the Zentraedi stuff being "grown" rather that bolted together, so it would be interesting to do some more organic decay on the surfaces and all kind of liquids leaking out.
  14. The Viggen's last flight was in 2007, it's successor is the Gripen, introduced in '93. The latest Viggen updates, the JA37 D, were on the same level regarding avionics and weapon systems as the Gripen. Here's an interview with an ex-Viggen pilot with some informative bits: http://www.milavia.net/specials/iv_viggen/
  15. The sound of thunder...
  16. The MF Ghosts are proportionally different, but structurally similar, so the Bandai kits should provide some help, too. Good photo reference here: http://dalong.net/review/etc/mf05/mf05_p.htm
  17. So there's a manga version of Alpha coming, but it is not drawn by Shirow, but Iō Kuroda. http://www.amazon.co.jp/o/ASIN/4063884228/morningmanga-22
  18. There will be a lengthy running sequence before he catches up with it first.
  19. Loose assembly Hope to finish it before my Lightning Zeta arrives.
  20. So I saw this yesterday and found it pretty intense, but
  21. Zeta II in progress I wasn't a fan of the original design until I saw it in Katoki's colors (I will skip the splinter scheme, though).
