Royal Space Force- The Wings of Honneamise on BD in october
arbit replied to Marzan's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
My little display. I probably need that model.
-
I've always been interested in building the ATAC and the Flash Clapper. Not many good toy options for Southern cross out there...
-
Pinned and cleaned 1/15 Nadia and Jean as much as I am willing to do. The Krylon primer really brings out the pinholes... But I am no perfectionist. They look fine at eye level. Lets see what some sanding and more priming does for them..

She doesnt look much like Sheryl to me. My wallet thanks you.

Proxybidding from Japan. I also got the Neo Atlantis Skyship for JPY5,000 I'm on an old-school Gainax resin binge.

Awesome. Show us the cranks. Not really sure how that works. I guess you're past that point, but I found some mini-hinges at HLJ. http://www.aber.net.pl/upload/pdf/6c4a02eedba4f9c59c72b14f9297705b.pdf

I dont have a scale either, but I had assumed it was much smaller than it is. I wasnt interested in a little trinket.
-
That's a cute little gunship. I wonder if it can be made with a closing hinge? I wasnt interested in this before, but I just realized its 1/72 and includes pilot figures. I thought it was smaller with no pilots. Must have...

Looks perfect. How did you dirty up the gray coat?

Cool. There are so many FSS Volks kits. One day I will study up on them. I'm getting into my first resin kits with some small projects. I need to get the learning curve up for some bigger projects I have in mind. First up the the Garfish II, which I assume is an homage to the Mospeada Garfish. Bottom line: Gas mask and lots of sanding. Noxious stuff!

Have we seen updated images of the cyclone in bike mode?

Interesting. My Master Paint Booth lighting has a blue tint, I often paint blind, cant even see the gloss coats going down. I've actually modded it to give it separate switches for the light and fan. I wonder if I need to mod the leds as well in order to see the gloss coats better. Whats the best background and light combination to see the clear coats?

1/48 MOSPEADA INBIT KIT REVIVAL?

Looks fantastic. Very nice! -
I've been looking for generic glow in the dark decals similar to these for a long time. Anyone know where to find some?
-
Doubtful

That was the one thing I modded on my Kai kit, I sanded away the chin guard on Nausicaa to get a fuller look. Other than dropping her on her head while clear coating she came out okay.
-
Wmkjr, Thanks for posting the Daicon video. It is a lovely classic with a lot of history and backstory for Macross fans.
-
Nice work! How did you make the pikot seat? Sculpting for styrene scratch work?
-
He rocks it!
-
I got the special parts version.
-
Nice. Those rough lines on the legs and shield, are they to give an organic biotech effect?
-
How about a flat circlular base or square like this? http://www.e2046.com/p/6762

Ghost in the Shell Live Action - March 31, 2017
arbit replied to Mechinyun's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Finally caught up on GITS. As a long time fan, I expected the worst; but despite its flaws, I actually thought it was well made and respectful of Oshii's vision. Obviously it had nothing to do with the manga. Main flaw for me was that damned body suit. Just doesnt look right and ruined all the main action scenes. Either use a different actress or get a different costume suitable for Johansen. Otherwise, Ruper Sanders took it very seriously. I would add that his Snow White and the Huntsman was a fantastic movie and an equally serious effort, with a huge Miyazaki homage near the end (for those who care). I would like to see GITS redone as an anime, but based on the manga style, rather than Oshii's realistic style. It would be a totally different and welcome experience. -
Fantastic! Gorgeuos!
