Jingiskan, baby. That's all you need to know! Really can't go wrong with a Campbells cookbook. Used to have one, and the recipes were very straight forward, and easy. Pretty tasty, too.

Post them in the For Sale section, and see if you get a bite.

I measured the Musashi this morning, and it's 75 cm long. I've had no problems spraying the 1/72 Hasegawa Macross series in the hood. "In the 'Hood, yo!"

Spray booth should be fine with that mask. Just remember to do your work in the hood! I've got a bad habit of keeping my work a little too far away from the fan for it to work effectively. You do probably want to vent outside, though. I've got a quick, easy way to do that; crack the window, put the tube in the bottom part, then cut out strips of cardboard to fit the gap left in the window. Since I use the booth only in the winter time, that does really cut down on the amount of cold air getting in. If you check the On the Workbench thread, I've posted a recent shot of the Musashi. Yes, a lot of parts! And I haven' even gotten to the (probably) 30 plus machine guns to spread around the deck.

Figured on anything yet, GU-11? I was thinking about you while painting my 1/350 scale Battleship Musashi for about 90 minutes straight today. Damn, it's a big kit! But, the brush and compressor worked just fine!
-
Getting ready to prime and paint. Damn, this is a big kit!

Oh my... http://youtu.be/V6h6LglQTGw Is it wrong to want to see this one before the original?
-
But, but, but, isn't this just a remake of the funkier 1978 version?

I once told my girlfriend that I had suicidal tendencies. She freaked out, saying I needed to go to the doctor right away and get help. http://youtu.be/fadfWRl8Q_E I told her, "yeah, they're a great band! You should listen to them!" She was unamused.....

I picked it up off of Yahoo Japan auctions probably in 2002 or so. Still see them floating to the surface once in a while.

1:72 baby! Ah, the old kits can be a fun challenge. I'll still take a modern Hasegawa/Wave over this, though.

I'm using the Spray-work REVO with the HG III brush, and I really like them. Been using that set up for close to 3 years now, and I've never had any troubles with it. All the models I've posted recently have been painted using that, including cammo patterns. The compressor is very quiet, and puts out a very steady stream of air. One word of note, though; if you go with a Tamiya compressor, you'll want to go with a Tamiya airbrush. Any other airbrush, and you're going to need to find after-market adapters. I also use the Spray booth. However, I still use the respirator with it, just to be safe. I do notice that there's very little fume smell left in the room after I paint using it, though. I also only use it in the winter time. When the weathers nice, just opening up all the windows is fine. My recommendation, get them. You won't be disappointed. Oh, one bad point, I don't know if they have a water trap available or not. When it's humid and you're trying to paint, you'll need one. That's why on rainy days, I don't.

For a first go. you did a pretty good job. Now, you're going to want to look into doing some type of wash, that will make your panel lines pop out more. I recommend Promodeler's Wash. It's dead easy to, and I've been very happy with the results. Here's the latest kit I used it on. I think if you used something like that on the Hikaru figure, it would make him look a little better, too. Right now, seems kind of flat.

I've seen it around at several hobbyy shops recently. Want me to check the price next time I see one?
-
You mean this one?
-
Finally changed mine. Taken yesterday from the 40th floor of Shiodome City Center.

The song that grabbed me by the nards back in 1985 or so, and made me realize, "Yes, I'm a Metal Head!!"
-
This is why.
-
By the way, I finally found a color illustration of the Macross the First Flight suit
-
Awesome! Found what I was looking for!!!
-
Movie flight suit, for comparison Also from the Chronicle.
-
That is the TV series' flight suit. Unless they put that pic in the wrong section of the Chronicle.
-
First 4 minutes are available now Hope this makes it to Japan.

Something like this? Courtesy of Macross Chronicle (and my scanner)

Getting back on topic of what's on the workbench, here's whats occupying my time now, a Tamiya 1/350 Battleship Musashi. My first ship kit (Space Battleship Yamato doesn't really count), and the first real world kit that I've done in a long time. Not going too crazy with the option bits (my first time for those, too). Just done barrel replacement surgery, and have a real wood deck that I'll be putting in later on. I've also finally upgraded my camera. Goodbye 15 year old Fuji compact!! Just got a Canon Eos Kiss X50. Fun camera!
