I'll take the cockpit model and dump Lisa (I'm already married ). Lookin' good. I think Winterdyne has a good idea - keep building the whole plane ! - MT

Looking great guys! I'm having "Kung Fu" type flash backs into the 80's . I'm eyeballing these when they're available: http://www.hlj.com/product/AOS04193 I had the PAC-48 a long time ago. Honneamise - you're still alive! How'd the massive IJN Yamato come out? Post some pic's! ce25254 - My children were drooling over the big G'man pictures! About once a week the Japanese monster movie DVD book comes out and they argue over what we're going to see. I really feel sorry for Tokyo getting smashed to pieces all the time . That reminds me, I gotta get all the Godzilla movies from 2000 onwards for my collection. electric indigo - I never saw the series. Any special points to the model. I almost bought one on looks alone. Back to my studies... - MT

It was worth the effort I would say! Looks great! - MT

That looks awesome! I think you did a really great job on it. And unlike some of us, you're actually finishing you're project! The line art you referenced I believe is for another type of lift; not an elevator as on the sides. The large U.S. amphibious ships have similar passage ways. The one in the line art has some kind of lift in the middle like a winch or tow unit it looks like. The other line art does not have those marks on the elevators. I think you're about done. - MT

Hey, where's my 1% for 1/200 scale stuff . - MT

Hey, he is still alive! Looking great! The control room looks realistic. - MT

My advice, spray it outside (even in cold weather is alright) then quickly bring it in and stick it in a closet or a room no one is using. The fumes can still be strong so make sure it's not your boiler room . I hate airbrushing, even though I have two sets. When I can get away with it, I use a rattle can. Enamels seem to hold up better to wear anyhow. Less mess and cleaning too. - MT

I've been slacking lately. I got the retract system going and have stalled a bit working on it. I'm doing some studies right now and I also got my VS Airsoft tank in from Toyeast.com. It's a Leopard 2 A5 that I'm converting to an A6. NO ONE had any A6's in stock and some one said maybe April. So I ordered the A5 and I'll lengthen the barrel. I'll probably weather it too because it just looks to clean. I also got the accessories and linked tracks. It's a really awesome tank! - MT

It was a machine gun so it fires really quick - yes . - MT

That's coming along great. - MT

I can't vote again, but my 1% is up there in spirit! I've got some I did in Corel 8 (yes, I'm too cheap to upgrade-but the newer stuff still reads the older). - MT

Thanks for sharin' man! I haven't built my Hase Valks, but the parts and detail are not the same. I thought the same thing too. It does look cool though. I like the crane detail; it's a different approach to a stand. - MT

That looks good. I've got an old super O missing the leg fast packs and heat shield. I'm thinking about trading it for something newer or a Yammie. I'm a model guy, what can I say. - MT

I think kids aren't building anymore, but us older guys are making up for it with a vengeance! There is always a replacement product for something on the market, even leaded petrol! - MT

Mine would be REALLY custom since they are 1/200 scale. Like I would do the artwork and utilize your printing capabilities (I voted). - MT

Great detail work! - MT

That's looking better everyday! You're definitely on the right track! 1/144 is great, it's just not Nichimo 1/200 - MT

Rotorhead, thanks for the tips! By the way, yes, the hanger doors will be motorized (low tech, easy, and I've already got the gearheads), the stabilizers are already retractable, and it will have one Airsoft cannon on it (too irresistible). I'm keeping away from pyrotechnics on THIS ship; too much investment! Past projects had rockets though! - MT

About the star destroyer, dang! That thing must weigh more than a person! The Enterprises looks great! Kylwel, if you wanna destroy a model, just glue it together and throw a few fire crackers into it - it's more satisfying . Seriously though, great weathering. - MT

That's fantastic, even so far. VERY original and a nice break from the Valks (as much as I love them). - MT

Looks great! Thanks for sharin'. "Moscato is a pimp..." Crack dealer,maybe. I bet he puts some in the resin to boost orders. That "new resin smell." And oh yeah, he is a great sculptor too! - MT

There's no school like the old school I say. But I have enjoyed the other series as well. Besides the original, I think MF is getting things back on track from all of the mystery magic mumbo jumbo. Macross is about culture, war and big robots (over simplified)! The other stuff was fom drinking too much saki I think - MT

Welcome Cranky (I hope you're not always like that ) mslz22, what's the other kit you're possibly working on if there's enough interest (VA-3)? - MT

I hate legalese. It sucks in English, it must really suck in Japanese; and then which character set do you use? Keep on pouring! Don't let "the man" get you down. - MT

I was wondering if you were still alive? That looks AWESOME! The pictures are fuzzy, but the weathering on the sides and markings look great! Are you going to weather the deck area too? I think the F-14 is too big though - MT
