  1. The Macross decals seem to be a special kind of bad. I don't have any problems with Bandai's Gundam Decal sets.
  2. I have tried this tape and don't see any advantages over the regular Tamiya masking tape. The white tape is stiffer, making it unusable on uneven surfaces or where you have to cross raised or recessed details. If you cut thin stripes from the yellow tape, you can make it follow curved contours as well.
  3. I mostly miss Nephtis, and I wouldn't mind a Jehuty with the Overkill Pack. Lots of the enemy grunts are also pretty interesting.
  4. Their ZOE and Armored Core kits are pretty awesome IMO Oh and the MG Rex (still have to build that). But they waste a lot of resources with their SRW & Frame Arm girlies etc. instead of finishing the ZOE line
  5. For a flat finish, you can build up several passes in one session. I mostly aim for a semi-gloss finish, since it produces nice highlights to emphasize the features of a design like an airplane, but also on Gundams. Here I put on pretty wet coatings, and let the paint dry in between. With white, it's mostly 3 or 4 sessions.
  6. I love this beast
  7. I primed the whole parts with a dark base color and highlighted the individuals surfaces, but for starters it might be easier to spray thin lines of black or dark grey just along the panel lines (this doesn't need to be very exact) and then cover the whole part with the final color, letting the shaded lines shine through.
  8. What's big, bad, and green?
  9. I need one to set it on fire...
  10. Proof that collective prayers do work: Bandai 1/72 B-Wing kit
  11. I like the sleek appearance and the reference to Mc Quarrie's style, although he stated that he just didn't have the time to fill in all the greeblies in his illustration.
  12. What a beauty! http://www.taghobby.com/archives/259383
  13. "Blue Circle Radar"
  14. Seeing the abundance of reboots and origin stories in the comic world, I find it no fault that the movie does it's own take on the character. I count on Hardy to make this one good; even if he does little to nothing, he's awesome (see "The Drop").
  15. Very cool to see the shapes of Gunhed without the distracting weathering! Hervé, which other planes from Le Grand Duc did you finish?
  16. It's interesting that all these Cyberpunk motives come to the screen 30 years after their inception.
  17. The corridors from the cheap TV serial warehouse kill it for me...
  18. Yeah, it's a concept similar to Blade Runner's retro-fitting, where less things are created anew, but new stuff is added layer after layer onto old stuff. For the Lotus, I think the concept was let's rip out the engine and put in a Mr. Fusion, and make the thing bulletproof.
  19. Took another shot with more available light - lower ISO, less noise.
  20. How did you achieve the frosted effect?
