That's pretty.

Someone sounds ungrateful...
-
Does that mean it is it's own continuity?
-
I'm assuming that the TV series for Macross Frontier is cannon, so where do the movies fit in?
-
Lets hope so, Roy's been drinking and he wants to give some Zentraedi the bird.
-
I'm in a difficult spot on this one. Do I buy the Shadow Beta because I only own the Shadow Alpha. But I don't want to spend $168, that's waaaaaay to much for Toynami's substandard product.
-
Maybe one day I derex but I only have one more project coming up and that's the VF-2SS. I may hold off on that until I do another build or two because I don't want to screw it up.

I only really dig the 11C thats why I'd grab the cheapo B.
-
I checked out anymoons review of the 11B and it said the ones with the fastpacks were good to hook. So I may get that one and an 11C 1/60.

How are those MacPlus valks? Worth getting?
-
So what exactly is that from? MacrossF as it says above but what is it? DISREGARD, thank you Macross Mecha Manual. Whoever put that together is a stallion.
-
Thanks anime52k8. All that's going to help out a lot. I had no idea that enamel took that long to dry. I'd only used Tamiya before this and it dried pretty quick.

MacrossWorld Convention 2012 Information Thread
Benson13 replied to KiriK's topic in Conventions and Local Gatherings
Just curious, but are we gonna get super sweet nametags so everyone knows who everyone else is? -
Great little menaces living down the road from me. I'm gonna have to keep a tight reign on my kiddo.

Yeah my cribmidget sings to that one too. It's pretty amusing watching her during the verses. I may have to get a video of it and post it. Good news is the song she likes daddy to play the most is Two Weeks by All That Remains. It's quite an interesting choice by a 4 year old.

Here I got the undercarriage and the tail fins hanging up to dry. Here I have legs masked off. What I did was lay a pieces of tape over the center and went over the contour lines with my fingernail until I could see all the lines. Then I took a knife and cut out the areas that needed to be painted. Peel off the excess and this is what you got. The model didn't really have a good fit right from the get go and I'm retarded and didn't do a test fit before painting any of the parts. For this particular model the windshield and the intakes didn't sit flush in their respective places. Legs once they had all the masking tape removed. I recommend when doing parts like this that are masked off, you spray really light coats to prevent some of the bleeding. This is what I was talking about when I said the Tamiya clumped up over the Testors. It was this point I wanted to take a hammer to the model but I'm not. I'm not sure what happened or why but it looks like hell and I still haven't fixed it. Fully assembled and awaiting clearcoat and decals. Side view. Ok, I need a little help now since this is "my first time". I'm going to be putting on some waterslide decals, do I put on a clearcoat first or do I put them directly on the normal paint? I'll be using Micro Sol (it came recommended by a fellow MWer) as well, so does anyone have any pointers?

I'm going to have to wait until after MWCon. That whole trip alone will be a pretty big hit for me.
-
I'd say not fully cured. How long does that normally take?

MacrossWorld Convention 2012 Information Thread
Benson13 replied to KiriK's topic in Conventions and Local Gatherings
If anyone in the local area of the convention wants arrange a little gathering prior or post con I'd be down. Is the Sept. 8 date official yet? -
I've managed to really screw up this model and I feel very bad about it. I never should've gone into a project completely uninspired. To my fellow noobs, if you're not excited about what you're building either wait until you are excited or give the model to someone who will appreciate it. I'm ashamed of what I've done over the last couple of days because it's completely obvious that I rushed. I'm still going to show pics and comment on my "progress" if that's what you want to call it but only for the sake of others learning from my mistakes.
-
So I've been doing some painting and I used some Tamiya XF-53 Neutral Grey over some Testors Glossy White Spray Enamel and the Tamiya started doing some weird stuff. It started to clump up over the gloss white. So professional modellers, is that a no-no? Also the spray enamel loves my fingerprints even 24 hours later. We'll talk more about it later after I get some pics up.

You should've, they probably can't see another collection like that outside of Japan. As for the grubby little mitts touching the cases, tasers work great for correcting bad behavior. I think Murphy has the best idea with the chains and locks on his collection. I protect mine with a Springfield XD .40.
-
I feel you on that Kicker. People these days are to untrustworthy. I wouldn't bring strangers over to see my collection. I say meet them and hang out to get a feel for them first, if at all. Or you could direct them to this site where they can get a real appreciation for Macross and they can bask in all the pretty pictures.

Sounds like I need to go to the store to my torches and pitchforks...

I guess I'm lucky that my daughter asks me to watch Macross with her. She doesn't like Sheryl Nome though.
