  1. You're right. I didnt use a wet coat. I was trying to cloud the white base coat. And I am not sure how quickly I can build up layers safely with that approach. It's a matter of needing years of experience.
  2. Progress on my Garfish. Finished drilling and customizing for the lighting, and began pinning and putty. (Using Diluted White Putty, seems good). The final two halves wont get putty because fiber needs to be installed after painting in this case (typical sacrifices needed for wiring), so I have made them as perfect a fit as I can for final step of pinning and super glue. Nadia and Jean are back with a white base coat, after stripping and repriming. None the worse for wear, expect that I still dont know how to paint, as you can see (why do I get that rough grainy texture?). This time I plan to gloss the entire figures to avoid peeling problems during masking.
  3. Your circled ones look like trainers. The rest look like 25's and a Cateye, and there seems to be some type of odd shaped Monster at the stern. But too fuzzy to make anything out for sure. What do you see?
  4. Nice work Thom. Will that be visible once you close it?
  5. Looks like you guys are all ready to go. The Eye of Sauron looks great. Got an LED for it? Make sure catwoman doesnt eat the candy all at once
  6. How much does it weigh? Looks like 2-3 kg.

    I hope those metal joints are black die-cast, not painted black, the paint will chip.
  8. I wonder if Forbes knows what their doing. Anime is NOT cool
  9. Same here. The floating tablet seems about 5cm wide. It would need a pretty big kit to swallow that, and still weigh only 250g.
  10. hee hee heee. That's cool. I want one!
  11. Is that a levitating valk?
  12. I couldnt intelligently say, but from a civilian's standpoint, seems to me that Destroids are mobile artillery designed to lay down heavy fire on the enemy and then move. They would be no good in hand to hand with a fast moving mobile force. However, the Destroids mobility seems good for quick re-positioning of heavy artillery in response to enemy heavy repositioning. They would demolish a normal tank group.
  13. Wow!!!
  14. Nice metalics!
  15. He means NZEOD.

    Dont forget my favorite, the Phalanx. And cant wait for VF-2SS.
  17. You guys can borrow my Nerf Gun repaint. Nice card board work. In my house we call it Old Man Skills. But imagine if 4-yr olds had the skills of adults to make their arts and crafts. I guarantee they would blow us away. Man, the dreams I had as a kid, with no abilities to match.

    Ewwww....That looks like the OP. But the in-anime version(s) look more "normal".
  19. Its really cool that you focus on rare mecha.
  20. They could have planned to fund it all along, but reached out to fans to reduce their investment as much as possible. But do those fans share in the profits from the ancillary toy, music and video sales?
