We need a little culture around this place

Looks like it's the first "Macross the Ride" kit. Sorry, but color me unimpressed. For once, I'll pass on a Macross Plus era kit. (but that's just my opinion)

Not all of my music collection is heavy metal

You've got pm.

Ever thought about trying Mr. Surfacer? I use Mr. S 1000 as a primer, and really like it. Dilute it about 50:50 with Mr. Thinner, and run it through your airbrush.

2 more before bed.....

Y'all are wrong. THIS is the true end of ROTJ dialog.

Slayer goes to church. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHb4gs1hwck Slayer does Christmas

If you're gonna play Manowar, you gotta play MANOWAR, not an AMV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLgporKLnpA And yes, I and my friends looked just like those guys (the actors, not the band) back when this first came out.

Almost time to prime the Q-Rau. A pack of ï¿¥100 bamboo skewers really make nice modeling tools. I say "almost", because there's a couple of areas I needed to putty, such as the hole I stupidly drilled though a chest plate by not paying close enough attention to what I was doing. (just above the foot in the blue pin)

0+2=1 sorry, I don't really have anything else to add....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlW9s_QGyJc OK, lets continue the game. Someone has to post a song called "Black Sabbath", by any band. Then the next person posts a song called [artist who did the Black Sabbath] song. How long can we go?

No, he probably means the Yamato, sister ship of the Musashi.
-
ADDENDUM: My wife added to my birthday haul. A 1/350 scale Battleship Musashi from Tamiya. She hid it from me because I mentioned that I really didn't like building ships, when I should have said I've never built ships before, so I have no opinion. Kit looks real nice, though. Looking forward to trying my first ship kit. I guess a 1/500 scale Space Battleship Yamato doesn't really count.

Isn't there someone here who really has a thing for Grace?
-
It depends. If you're doing parts that will have an obvious seam-line between them, then you should assemble, putty/sand, then paint. If they fit together at a natural break, you can paint first, then assemble. Mainly though, just do whatever you're comfortable with.

If you can scan the color guide, I'll take a stab at translating and point you in the right direction.

40th birthday today. Got to love a wife who feeds your habit. Told her I was interested in building a big, modern fighter aircraft. Picked out the F-14 off of Amazon, and she surprised me with the A-10 and the F-4. Last birthday, she went in half on Macross resin kit, and for Christmas she got me a Tornado Messiah. Think I'll keep her.

Cough cough It is a recast, but looking at the pictures in the Y!J Auction, I think that's a recast, too (I'm pretty sure I've seen the one you're looking at several times).
-
A recast is exactly that: a re-cast of an existing kit, using that kit as a master for the mold. They can morally be a gray area. Some people say no way to any recast. For some older, long out of production kits, a recast is the only chance you'll have to get and build one. My personal view is if it's a current kit, or popular enough to still be around- get the original. Very old kit, long out of production, recast is OK. You have to be careful in where you get a recast, too. Some places do real high quality work, others do total crap work. I myself have a recast of the VF-2 SS Valkyrie II, but I also managed to grab originals of a Musashiya VF-4, and a Club M Queadlun-Rau.
-
No special paints needed for resin, but you do need resin primer. Also, your regular modeling cement won't work, have to use CA Glue (super glue, crazy glue, what ever you want to call it). I'm building a resin Queadluun-Rau right now, and if you head over to the "What's on your workbench" thread, I've posted some in-progress shots; so you can get a small idea of what you want to get into. Also, resin is not cheap. That 1/144 scale Yellow Sub kit is out of production, and the one I previously linked to sold for 16,500 yen on auction.

Parts prep is proceeding as planned Until I find, YOIKS!, a bad case of Trench Foot easy to fix with putty and patience, though.

I like some Grindcore, but a majority of it does sound like this to me:
-
F-16 frame, and YF-19 legs?
-
Those are exhaust thrusters for zero-g maneuverability. On the 1/48 Hasegawa kit, they're actually recessed, and you get little "Caution-Hot Air" decals to put near them.
