  1. Looks perfect. How did you dirty up the gray coat?
  2. 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!
  3. Have we seen updated images of the cyclone in bike mode?
  4. 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?
  5. I've been looking for generic glow in the dark decals similar to these for a long time. Anyone know where to find some?
  6. 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.
  7. Wmkjr, Thanks for posting the Daicon video. It is a lovely classic with a lot of history and backstory for Macross fans.
  8. Nice work! How did you make the pikot seat? Sculpting for styrene scratch work?
  9. I got the special parts version.
  10. Nice. Those rough lines on the legs and shield, are they to give an organic biotech effect?
  11. How about a flat circlular base or square like this? http://www.e2046.com/p/6762
  12. 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.
  13. Fantastic! Gorgeuos!
  14. Looking forward to seeing it transform. You'll have to make us a video.
  15. Here's an updated video. I think its a lot better now.
  16. Did someone ask for Nausicaa love?
  17. Lovely paint work.

    Hi-Metal R

    So these are web shop exclusives for sure? No amiami and the other usual shops?
  19. Dang. Warhammer guys can really paint. I watch some of their tutorials, although I know nothing about it.
