    And Cordoba! Oh boy, so many awesome design in CJ, it really was ahead of it's time.

    Hmm, order two or wait for a release of the red one with an Alfin figure?

    Just got word from HLJ that Hasegawa will produce 1/72 kits of the Fighter-1 in their Creator Works line! I also wouldn't mind a Minerva in 1/200...

    PG Astraea? The Exia molds haven't been milked enough yet.

    These 1/100 kits are pretty good for alternate paint schemes. More pics of the VF-2SS, please!

    Very nice with the overall balanced weathering. For dealing with exaggerated panel lines: Leave off the wash or do a very light one.

    Splinter camo is where I draw the line. Here's a new shot of my 1/48 Tarangus Viggen:

    I never quite got the purpose of digital (not splinter or dazzle) camo, other than screaming "21st century!" and looking nice occasionally

    Russian helos get an even more off-world look with digital camo https://twitter.com/saidpvo/status/1032881909729243136

    Finally got around to snap some pics of my Frame Arms (in Mountains of Mars outfit)

    Looks like the Bandai kit is as good as 1/72, just the pilot is undersized.

    Callsign "Edge"?

    Thanks for the review and the photos! So the kit is actually only slightly larger than the old MPC version? I still think that with their density of details, these kits could easily be blown up to 1/48 size.

    Looking forward to get humiliated by that AWACS NPC all day long...

    Only after the RE/100 Gerbera Tetra...

    Bandai has been producing some rockin' boxarts lately

    I think that like Makoto Kobayashi, Ikuto Yamashita has become a prisoner of his CAD tools, his pre-Anima work was far more organic. And, like kanjrig mentioned, this EVA looses it's original concept. Still, Yamashita is ahead of the game in terms of general mecha design and I can't wait to see the full body.

    I'd try polishing a grey base with graphite powder or similar metal powders. Even a light brushing produces a nice sheen.

    As if the movie adaption was not enough, there's a comic anthology by western artists that's coming in September. https://kodanshacomics.com/series/ghost-in-the-shell-global-neural-network/ However, one of the artists makes a really good Shirow impression (minus Shirow's occasional sloppiness) https://www.instagram.com/musashinoelegy/

    Now tone down the yellow bits or make them pale gold and you have a Boss.

    Another thing to consider for a good gloss finish is to move "forward", i.e. in the direction of the airflow, over the surface, so that the mist of paint will be pushed away from areas with fresh paint. Do this while spraying at an angle and not perpendicular to the surface. It all sounds terribly complicated, but it will like driving a car after a while.

    If you get grainy surfaces, either your paint is too thick and you need to add more thinner, or you spray too far from the surface and the paint dries mid-air, so to speak. Try to get closer to the surface or get more output from your airbrush (I'd recommend the first, if you're not dealing with large, uniform surfaces like a car body).
