  1. Speaking of which, can I interest anyone in this beautiful kit? I preordered the massive 1:60 garage kit, so I don't think I'll be putting this one together... ๐Ÿค” It's got a ton of articulated PVC joints (all those black runners at the top)... ๐Ÿ˜‹ Nice, crisp details... ...and these intricate resin pilot figures. ๐Ÿ˜ Make me an offer.
  2. We don't talk about your photos much, Mike, but they're always brightly-lit, sharply focused, and efficiently cropped, frequently combining multiple pics into a single image for practicality. Your Quintus Prime review is notable in how well the lighting highlights the translucent parts. I love the effect TakaraTomy has achieved combining paint and tinted clear plastic in various shades, and your photography demonstrates it well.
  3. Three Luke Jedis, and they all have painted faces? ๐Ÿ˜“ I've been trying to track down one molded in flesh, with painted hair instead... That would seem to be the rarer variant.
  4. @Chas @nightmareB4macross Impressive engineering, guys! I'm calling Dresden's Blue Beetle done. Here are a few finished pics. Thanks for the support, gentlemen. ๐Ÿฅฐ
  5. Adding convincing dents to the diecast Beetle frame turned out to be impossible, so I compensated by denting the hell out of the bumpers. ๐Ÿ˜Š Two bullet holes were added at the client's request... ...as was the "spray-painted" graffiti on the hood. I'm sure you'll get the reference... but who among you recognizes the licence plate number? ๐Ÿ˜‰ Dude, that detail is INSANE. ๐Ÿคฏ
  6. Really clean, but still much too stumpty... Ocular Max remains definitive for me.
  7. It could've been a lot smaller, really. 1/3 of the box is empty space. ๐Ÿคจ
  8. Geez, look at this massive box! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
  9. Even you have to admit that scale is whack. ๐Ÿ˜…
  10. That model was a sloppy, low-rez amateur job painted very poorly. I wouldn't give it a second thought. More importantly, what's with all the Valkyries with turquoise canopies? ๐Ÿคจ Nah, you're thinking of Gundam. Macross is much more niche, virtually unknown outside the otaku community.
  11. Great! We can finally get some solid info, like measurements and MSRP. At a height of 16cm, that would make Ride Armor slightly smaller than the Sentinel figures... about equal to the old 1:12 Aoshima kits. ยฅ8000 per kit seems a little steep, but not unreasonable.
  12. Just about done trashing the bug. I was afraid I might've gone too far... ...but the client is apparently pleased. ๐Ÿ˜… Fabulous panel lining! ๐Ÿ˜ Never seen those flame effects on the legs before. Cool decals.
  13. Yeah, I much prefer the sculpt on Cadet Ezra: My favorite of the Rebels figures are this two-pack, however. They're not very posable, but they totally nail the aesthetic.
