    That sucks. Live and learn I guess. Maybe you can recast a piece?

    I see people also use Revoltech or other ball joints. Seems doable.

    I'd want to put strong friggin magnets at the ends of some of those ball joints to make them poseable. What do you think?

    The enamel must have melted it. What was the material... Soft stuff like an o-ring?

    Great paint job. Very professional. While you're at it with your own kit, I noticed you had the same problem with your canopy as I did. It doesn't close flush with the cockpit. I think its a mistake in the mold. To fix it, I sanded down one side of the swivel joint before encasing it in the body. You have to figure out just which side and what needs sanding. It should close perfectly.

    Could you give a few snapshots of your peg tools and how you trim and place them?

    To me, the Spartan's the best HM-R yet (Along with the Monster). Great detail and panel lines and decals. They didn't cut corners on this guy. Best of all, we have new modern metal joints.

    Thanks Derex. Did these Invids need pegs to attach the parts, or just super glue?

    More photos please. Zombie Attack! Been watching the Walking Dead, so I can appreciate this a bit

    Totally agree. Respect! Rebuild! Revival! Reboot!

    Could you give us a video of your process and tools? That would be instructive.

    Never built a resin. I need to learn quick so I can trade in my Matchbox Invid.

    Taking a look at my Yamato kitbash idea. Unfortunately, the base of the 1/700 IJN Yamato is too wide for the 1/1000 Space Battleship Yamato, although according to the scales it should have fit since the Space Battleship is bigger than the IJN. Seems that the SBY is designed with a thinner hull. Comparing it to my 1/500 SBY, the IJN base is actually a perfect fit. The gun barrels also look great. But the bridge seems too small. It might actually be okay. Not sure. I need to think real hard about whether I want to do this. Is it worth it? At that size, it would have to be fully electronic. But are the scales all messed up, or just right? You guys decide. And just for fun, guess which is my favorite?

    Could you find this link?

    Yessssssssssssssss. Please.

    That's the idea. But in my Bandai 1/72, the gears wouldn't fit. Seems there is more space in the Hasegawa 1/72. I might try the 1/48 just to avoid the pain, but I really dont want that giant.

    Well, if we can fit a motor in the valk, it would have to fit here in this 1/72. Seems the Hasegawa 1/72 and 1/48 have the same structure. But I've never built one. If anyone knows, I need 6mm clearance for the motor and the gear; More would be better. I would rather do a 1/72 than 1/48 if there is space. I also wonder if the circled part can be dremmeled away. Not sure what function it serves.

    Thanks. All good now. My Podcast manager was still showing the old feed address. So when I unsubscribed, and resubscribed, the feed updated to the correct one.

    Anyone else not getting the podcast on their Android feed? Its been out for a few months. I use Podcast Republic.

    The final colors may be different than the display pieces. Seems to me that the Spartan was more pea-green at the Tamashii stand than the final shade.

    Xigfrid, you have the rarest customs. This makes me want to do a motorized valk. Dorobou used the same gear idea from the Nautilus and applied it to the Tomcat. Any of you guys know if this might fit in the 1/48 or 1/72 VF-1 Hasegawa?
  23. arbit

    Hasegawa VF-31

    arbit replied to seti88's topic in Model kits

    Does that include the color schemes?
  24. arbit
    Well, it is an Elint, but other than that I dont know. Nice work. What's the scheme called?

    A little airbrush practice with my daughters Beargal. Just beginning to get the hang of it.
