Some more pics of my AGE-3 Orbital

Kotobukiya's Anubis is released I'm still painting energy lines on my Jehuty...

Pics of the new Garmillas set from Hobbysearch

@all - thanks again The base color is lightened up and thinned, then I spray very close to the surface in an irregular pattern. You can see the effect better in this pic of my Kotobukiya Aaliyah, especially on the legs.

Buy a ton of the 1/72 kits to give them some incentive...

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII

Actually, I was totally making that up... -
Thanks for the appreciation, guys. wm cheng, I did indeed spray a lighter color in the center of each panel, in a slightly cloudy application. It is very subtle on the model and I'm surprised it even showed up in the photos. Panel lines were accentuated with dark grey gouache. I chose colors with a reduced contrast compared to the original russian scheme so the beautiful lines of the aircraft didn't get disrupted too much.

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII

Due to massive cost overruns, the VF-11 program had to be downgraded to conventional engines. It was either that or being replaced by drones... -
F-14 + Macross = WIN

No no no - that's Sukhoi's latest project. American fighters DO NOT have canards...

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
electric indigo replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hi there! -
Thank you all. Petar, the kit is not overly complicated, but also not a shake-n-bake model. Some putty was required at the closed landing gear doors, which was to be expected, and on the halves of the engine tunnels/legs. The lower legs have little contact area to glue. I encourage you to try all kinds of color/camo schemes on this plane (Model Grafix turned the two-seater into a Vietnam-era bomber), and yes, it's painted entirely with custom mixed Tamiya acrylics. One more shot:

I finally managed to get some good shots of my 1/72 Hasegawa VF-11, dressed in a PAK FA inspired camo scheme. I smoothed out some of the irritating details on the nose, closed the opening for the head cannon and replaced the pilot, everything else is OOB. Good Hasegawa kit of a great design. The details on the hull feel a little under-inspired compared to what they put on the wings, but I'm glad they didn't have another rivet-fest like on their VF-1s.

Yeah, Moebius missed a huge chance here, considering what is possible in injection molding today. If the usual suspects have a go at it, we can expect a lighting & PE upgrade kit. Hobbysearch lists it with a December release date and has another photo for us:

New peeks from the hobby magazines - not much to report, though.

New pics of a finished Moebius Galactica Price is about 70 USD.

Uh-oh...

Say what you want about the series, but Gundam AGE had some pretty cool designs. I just finished the AGE-2 Orbital in slightly modified colors.

Ok someone watched Alien & Prometheus and then went to Mars with a slightly lower budget... The Hardware looks good, though. But the trailer already has more worn tropes than you can shake a flamethrower at.

Yeah, it was Batman or Bond for him...

The MW Automotive Thread 5.0 GT

Beautiful face and behind, but what is going on in the side view? It looks like the front end is far too short, and someone should tidy up the area behind the door and above the rear wheels. -

They might as well buy some Yak-130s. -
Brilliant!

Isn't the stretch already present at the purple line in the side view?
