  1. CorssAir, Great finish on the YF-25 Girl. I'm sure you will now do the Falcon justice. If you're going to repaint it, don't bother stripping, just give it a new black base coat and go from there with your white/grey. You'll capture all the panel lines without any headaches with the old paint.
  2. Man, you should be really proud! It's no easy feat to design your own transforming valk. Great job. Now I want to see you transforming it live on video
  3. Nice Legos! The kids have finished their job and now its my turn. I chose the 1/144 Paragrafix set because it seemed easier. For the kids fun factor, I'm planning to let them to control the lights with a bluetooth app called ArduDroid and a bluetooth card for the Arduino. Seems doable, but I have some studying to do... Check it out on youtube it's pretty cool. I've primed the entire sheet of PE with Krylon Colormaster (supposedly for plastic and metal). Its a short cut to make things easier, and then I'll snip them off. As we all know hobby primer wont work with PE, it peels and rubs off too easily, so lets see how Krylon works out. Seems okay so far...
  4. Together at last
  5. What caused the light to diffuse? The glue? I use PMM fiber with the smallest amount of epoxy to hold it. But it looks like your space is big enough for SMDs anyway, so that's a better way to go.
  6. Managed a 1/15 diamond.
  7. Back to my little lady of pain. Maybe the third time is the charm. That's french purple and lilac, concepts I was previously unaware of...
  8. I told my wife just last week that I am dissappointed in women, because the views on my youtube mecha page are 100% male. Is my hobby that unappealing? That's funny. Its great sharing hobbies with our kids. Just don't be dissappointed if they dont share our interests sometimes.
  9. You think Max dipped the canopy in Future?
  10. The final 3D designed gears are up on Xigfrid's Shapeways store. Xigfrid has worked really hard on these. They are only USD 4, so I hope you will give him your moral support for his efforts! They are extremely sleek, and slimmed down to require the minimum drilling. He has designed them to make it as easy as possible for others to install, with both the gears and rail. You just need to drill their position and install with a 6mm motor and M2 nut (6x7mm motors will also fit). No scratch-building is required. I will make a new thread soon for installing mine once they arrive, and I will be happy to help anyone install them.
  11. Nice videos Kuma Style.
  12. I want red and black. These are blue. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-72-Scale-US-Navy-Air-Force-USAF-F-4J-Phantom-II-Model-Water-Slide-Decal-1-72/173285015737?hash=item28589780b9:g:20AAAOSwqxRa1S5f
  13. Finished some bits and bobs.
  14. Which decals did you get for the blue langley stripe? I also need a red langley stripe if you know which fighter has them (For a Focker, Max, Hikaru Ranger Team I am working on). Edit: Actually I have some blue-ish Langley stripes from the F-14A Tomcat. But I can't find red ones.
  15. I've decided to enroll in a 3D MAx course this summer, which I believe is the same as Sketchup. And this is my Ghost. I got the awesome retractable gears version! I still have Isamu's Bike and Sharon to paint one day, when I learn how to get a glossy coat down
  16. Xigfrid has gone out of control!!!
  17. Nice scheme. Another NZEOD Special!
  18. No need for a refund. It's a fair price. Thx.

    You guys need to understand how tech-challenged I am. But where there is a will to build Macross, there is a way. I've dowloaded the Free 2017 versions, and got some tutorials in my Youtube playlist. The guy says he will teach you Sketchup and "treat you like a complete idiot", which sounds about right...
  20. Oh man, I know that feeling. After all that work, you just want to get done, and leave the painting to the pros!
  21. i ordered a couple setss. Looking forward to them.
