  1. Yep, I was hoping I'd see a correction of that closer to the launch date. Can't believe no one else has said anything to them. Of all the other non-sense extra markings, they omit the one that is actually in the cartoon?!?
  2. WOW!!! I absolutely love your builds Electric Indigo - they are so clean and flawlessly smooth - your paint is just so awesome that it really gives the tiny model a real sense of scale. Plus I love the subject matter you always choose. Thanks for posting because I can get my fix by living vicariously through you - I have such little time to model anymore and trying to go through a basement renovation means I won't have a workbench for at least another year
  3. I hope its compatible with the original Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS 4 stick and not some special AC version of this same stick. Anywhere does it say its compatible with all T-Flight HOTAS 4 sticks?
  4. No Black Friday sale and $34 shipping to Canada (Aces at War Bundle) - that sucks!
  5. Oh thanks, I didn't realize the Aces at War didn't include the Seasons Pass. I do want that art book though, so I guess its $30 for the art book? How much is the seasons pass separately afterwards? What does the seasons pass include that would be in addition to the game - I don't go online to play.
  6. Hey did the Aces at War Bundle just go up $10 to $89? (I thought it was at $79) Does anyone think there might be a Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale on this?
  7. Hey, I never noticed before, does it have side covers? Yes, the lack of ejector triangles is pretty un-forgivable.
  8. I love decals, its my favourite part of building the model - it was one of the original reasons I got this kit. That's said, its sitting in my stash and haven't been built yet :P
  9. Do you have a link for this company? I'd be interested. I have the Lepin old UCS Falcon (from a awhile ago) and the new Lego UCS falcon now too, does Lepin make a version of the new UCS Falcon?
  10. Thought exactly the same thing! Would love to get Hasegawa on board for some of the more futuristic aircrafts in the AC series!
  11. Hey I'm starting to like that special Cosmotiger (I'm not sure what its called) but that awkward dark grey gangly fighter with all the huge oversized missile pods - does Bandai make a model of this? Btw - is anyone else getting this 0yen on all HLJ prices tonight?

    Hi-Metal R

    HLJ kept freezing and hanging. First 404 error then 503 error at checkout, then sold out - boo! CDJ sold out as I was checking out too. Luckily Amiami let me get one through. This was a tough one so far. Not happy with the new HLJ site either.

    HLJ is giving 404 not found with that link!

    Is there a better search button than the one at the top right hand corner for HLJ? It used to be the search at the bottom of the page that worked.
  15. So there's no special bundle with the old/updated HORI flightstick? It's fully compatible with the existing Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 4 right (no special AC edition)?
  16. Wow, nice announcement. I still wished that at 1/48 scale, they could have molded a little more details onto those pieces (and the Valk in general) - a little disappointed that there wasn't the molding detail that is present in the Hasegawa 1/72 models. They could at least make the optional hands jointed at the fingers, its a huge toy, you'd think there would be more advances from the Yamato 1/48 days.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Wow!!! So much orange (my favourite colour) that has to be in my collection. Been waiting for Chuck's for too long now and it doesn't disappoint. The Heavy Armor is just so over the top sillyness that I just have to have it - unfortunately it doesn't look very "Macrossy" but I guess its where everything is headed designwise. (moar must be stronger!!!) Any dates on the pre-order for these two beauties?

    Hi-Metal R

    Now that's what I've been waiting for!!!
  19. Don't worry about it, you'll love it. I did it without numbered bags at all, they just had them in different bags mostly according to the pieces not to the steps. Its part of the fun of lego.
  20. Amazing Arbit!!! Congrats on an amazing build. You can be proud.
  21. What?! That can't be the Hasegawa one could it? It looks horrible. Very disappointed. They look like "bandai" landing gears - argh.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I did, but I got it in the first batch way back when it was initially released and I ordered it within the first minute of the pre-order.
  23. Orange peel is when you are spraying too thick of a mixture. You need to thin down the paint more and spray in lighter multiple coats instead of one thick coat. Generally, there are other factors too like too low of PSI when spraying can contribute to that too or the substrate/layer underneath wasn't prepared properly. Painting is kind of a "voodoo / black art" I still find that sometimes I do exactly the same thing as I did before that turned out great didn't turn out another time. Good luck and don't be discouraged. The beauty of the MF is that its so weathered you can turn it into an effect.
  24. I just love how clean and smooth your paint finish is - fantastic!!!
  25. Gorgeous electric indigo (amazong paint scheme, turned out fantastic)! What kits are those? Love those Sabbs.
