Awesome! That is the "All IMAI Collection".

Looks great! I love everything about the painting on that old sculpt. I like your collection. Which Zentran figures are those?

Hey buddy. You're the chemist not me. But I have found divided opinions. Some say it is from the UV, some say it is from Oxygen (which is why it can yellow even in a dark room in a box). Is it from both?

A question on fixing yellowed chogokin. I am planning to try the "peroxide cream/gel method". I won't be submersing the toy, I will be brushing on some peroxide gel to the affected areas and placing in a plastic bag. Does peroxide actually speed up yellowing in the future? Does peroxide damage Tampo decals? arbit

My Yamato SDF-1 was not PF either, it is "home made PF" on the cheap. If you actually want yours done, shipping costs would suck.

@MechTech I feel for you buddy. Your friendship is plain to see. To cheer you up, we have our own no-good rascal, who isnt half as sweet as Shadow. Like all cats she loves to sleep in model boxes. But this one is a Totoro assassin, and one scratched couch away from being sent to the dog pound.

Always wanted a good sculpt of that, but maybe a little tad smaller! I thought you already had one of these in your collection?

Hi everyone. Been working on my 1 3000 Yamato. All home made with panel lining, decaling, fluorescent lights and clear coat. My 9-yr old daughter helped me with the Florys wash. Lots of fun and lots of q-tips.

Love the foil additions. I love what you did with Max's face paint!

With those old balsa kits, you have to build a spitfire, hurricane, Fokker and a Zero too.

I didnt realize those old kits could look so good! Great detailimg work and paint. Very nice yellow on there too! Looking forward to seeing all ten of your kits painted 😏

@Duymon Thank you. Glad you like the details! Next time you need a file, PM me to get you some discounts. Your prints came out clean. Your orientation is the best for getting clean results 👍

Ha ha. I save all my daughters' tiny chains just like yours!

Ouch my back! I'm getting too old for this.

There is no art that shows exactly, but I am pretty sure she floats around using her tentacles. And I think I have finally figured this out! It needs an open flap.

Some more details.

Cool. All hand made?

Hey Steve, How's Japan treating you? I wouldn't cut the ball joints till you had a good replacement ready. I'm sure you can find a good joint system for your needs.

Quick tip for thinning Mr. Hobby Primer Surfacer. I made a mistake and thinned it with isopropyl alcohol, which turned it to goo. Instead of throwing it out, I added half again an amount of lacquer thinner, which fixed the goo, and thinned it out for a clean spray. Results below.

Good feedback, it would look nicer. But engraving panel lines is above my skill level on organic surfaces, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So I go the easy route and extrude details. On a hard-surface model, panel lines are much easier.

Yeah, you have to give him credit. But it is tough to achieve. I wonder what would be the set up to get a result like that safely.

Some stuff I've been working on. A test print in 1/48 scale.

My own CM's Guld! Some projects are grail items, some projects are for a challenge, and some are just things you never imagined possible. But isn't that what a hobby is for? I've been too busy to hobby very much, but I wanted to print this guy. I had a couple of frustrating print failures, but as usual, it was my lack of experience. I haven't printed a figure this big, and all it needed was stronger supports.

Now that, I don't compehend.

I always wanted to do that effect for the SDF-1 cannon. Is it a Tesla coil? Someone explain to me how safe that is? Is there no heat melting the plastic?
