Thanks for sharing that! They have some AWESOME stuff at that site! - MT

Yes, it does move. It can get loose like the old styrene joints do, but I'm sure you're gluing it. Keep us posted! - MT

So if I ever go diving with the Capain's watch on, it's good to know it will live longer than I will at that depth! I can't purge my eardrums anyhow. But the watch and band looks great! Great Corsair 505th! Derex, the A wing looks great! Keep us posted on the SDF-1! I too built mine back in the 80's. Surprisingly, most of the pieces (emphasis on the pieces) survive on my son's shelf. I scored one on ebay for $50 and I'm waiting to build it "right" with lots of details. The Hasegawa kit looks nice, but that whole front end thing puts me off it. I think this is STILL the best injected kit of the TV version in cruiser mode. - MT

Cardboard may not work well, especially over a foot in diameter. There's too much flex in it, even after gluing a sheet of styrene to it. I'd recommend something stiffer like plywood or thin MDF board which can still be cheap and bought usually in smaller sheets. Whatever the case, you will want to seal it with a clear coating from moisture and give the other medias something stable to stick to. - MT

You know what that diorama needs? GODZILLA! Whoops, wrong thread Seriously though, that would look great even with some LED "candles." But I'm sure you're gonna whip out the micro chip controller. - MT

It looks great! The shading is a nice touch. - MT

That came out great! NZEOD is a nice guy! -MT

That TSM deck looks great! - MT

Like valhary said, scan it and then you can rescale it either on your printer or photocopier. Test print and cutout with plain paper. I can't make any suggestions for scaling since each company scales differently in the same way not all shoes sizes really are what the box says. - MT

The watch looks great John! I bet it withstands a lot of punishment! Great looking kitchen and miniatures NZEOD! The back lighting in the kitchen is a nice touch! - MT

Thanks for posting that Derex! It gives better perspective of their size. Just like clothes, not everybody uses the same sizes or scales the same making you have to try stuff on or open up a model box. - MT

That doesn't sound right. I have 1/72nd scale sized figures printed from Shapeways and all the detail was in them. They also have 1/350th armored valks slightly larger than a quarter up on their store. - MT

That looks cool, but would be a masking nightmare! I haven't seen the series yet, but these look more like air show birds than military air frames. - MT

That looks great Arbit! That will look great when completed. I have the 1/350th Yamato I'm waiting on some time to build, but I think yours will end up better. Those Thunderbolts look really good Joscasle. Nice n clean - at least for now. - MT

Hey, he's still alive! That Monster is looking GREAT! - MT

I think the purpose of the thread is mostly photos. It looks great! If this was a feasable project, your work would be used to help sell it to actual buyers. - MT

Thanks for posting the photos! Some real cool looking stuff coming out! - MT

I think WM Cheng is right, but it still looks good. It's been too long! - MT

Yeah, don't forget about us! It's looking GREAT!!! - MT

Nice!!! It's coming along great! - MT

Welcome! Your work looks great! The paint scheme and weathering looks great! - MT

Some great stuff guys! I gotta get my head out of the books and back into some building! - MT

I always hated Humbrol paints because they were solvent based enamels. But the clear acrylic stuff in the video is being used EXACTLY like Future floor polish. It is even being dipped and airbrushed straight out of the bottle like Future. Not only does the label say acrylic, but the speaker in the video says the same. The texture and thickness does not look like any clear coats I've seen. It HAS to be another acrylic version of Future. I bet they even rebottled it! - MT

Yeah, slide covered both points. Sometimes it's the decals or new tooling (which is costly). Usually, HLJ is good about mentioning new tooling, though. Try getting the part numbers and going to Hasegawa's site. That may clear it up for you. Ther good part about 1999.co.jp is that they have sprues pictures. That may give you more clues too. - MT
