    Your file did not die in vain! Nice job on a tough subject. I have to agree with the weathering comments too; it looks great! - MT

    You still use the same decal paper with a "best" setting. It's a glossy media, not pourous like papers so you should be good to go.- MT

    The decal is no problem: http://www.micromark.com/clear-decal-paper-for-ink-jet-printers-5-sheets,7942.html Scroll down for the other decal accesories like fixative, dull coat or Solvaset. The vinyl will be a problem. As soon as you mentioned the figure, I thought it would be vinyl. The decal is on a polymer film and the vinyl is flat (matt) surfaced. It's like putting a piece of glass on sand, the shiny part stands out and doesn't lay down, sometimes holding air bubbles underneath. Maybe a clear gloss coat wherew the tattoo will go and then laying the decal on top of it with a flat coat to make it look original. But vinyl is flexible; too much flex might crack the clear coats. What about actual inkjet tattoo papers? Here's some other ideas I serached for there's tons, but most are on hard plastic - not porous vinyl. Hope that helps somewhat. - MT http://www.onesixthwarriors.com/forum/sixth-scale-action-figure-news-reviews-discussion/564676-my-experiment-applying-tattoos.html

    Looks like they are pre-painted - MT http://www.tomytec.co.jp/gimix/lineup/jet/ult01.html

    Looking great guys! I've gotta get my schoolwork sorted out so I can build a model again! Thanks for posting photos. Having styrene withdrawls now - MT

    Adding silver to the head clear parts is a great idea. I like to use the same technique myself. - MT

    NOBODY is swooshing this around! No matter how big a muscles they got! Seriously though, it looks great!!! You may be able to use metal hardware internally and A LOT of cement to weld it together! This project is going to cost some serious dough and time! - MT

    Yeah, it's looking great! - MT

    Aw man, I can't tell you how many times becuase of my angle, I missed the Dremmel chuck digging in to my work! It does suck! Hopefully we'll have some pictures soon? - MT

    Che sembra fantastico! That looks fantastic! Nice toning on the panel llines. - MT

    My son said "that looks too cool, I wish you could buy that! - MT

    Great observations! I didn't know that about the F-18's rudders, but I guessed it right knowing the aerodynamics of it. I'm familiar with the weird things deltas have to do. Our F4D / F-6 at the museum is one of my favorites. We also have the X-32, both of which use "elevons" as control surfaces. The F4D (Ford) also as inboard devices near the engines. I think your display is gonna come out awesome! - MT

    That looks great Nyankodevice! Nice changes to the proportions and adding articulation. Can't wait to see it finished. - MT

    The Magnagaurd looks cool with the modifications. The changes work with it! - MT

    Hey Grayson it's: http://paxmuseum.com/ As long as the Nov 6th photo is up there, it shows part of an early SH-3 Sea King we just moved into the hanger last week! The Director of NASA was our key speaker and everything went great! That actual building may not be open until Spring - date still pending getting displays and some of the basics sorted out. - MT

    Is your friend kicking himself in the butt now? It looks great! Nice photos too. You can never have enough Tomahawk! - MT

    That's looking great! It's big enough to put a small fire extinguisher in and hang it up on the wall in your kitchen like Max had on hand when Millia started a fire in the kitchen - MT

    "These are not the droids you are looking for..." They're looking good so far and the Falcon stand is going to be interesting. How much weight is it handling? - MT

    Congrats Jefuemon! They came out great and look really good together. Hopefully you have a shelf reserved for them some place. - MT

    That work looks awesome!!! It will be great to see it printed and in kit form. Nice execution of the concept! - MT

    If you go back a couple pages, this guy used blue (and other colors): http://dorobou.blog.so-net.ne.jp/archive/c2305690677-1 -MT

    Welcome to MW Dragon! The model looks great! The weathering adds realism to it. I've always loved that mecha too. - MT

    Someone took a LOT of liberties with the front half of that shuttle (and a few other things). Outside of being a nit-pic, it looks cool. - MT

    A shuttle casket / space launch would be interesting. Reminds me of Spock being shot out in a photon torpedo (I know, my geek is showing). A guy in our modelling club (we also meet in the museum) completed an aircraft carrier complete with all the planes. He asked if he's a "prolific builder" now When I bought the 1/350th Gallery Models (Trumpeter) LHD-1 Wasp, it came with EVERYTHING so now for a fraction of what I would have paid for in bigger scales or taken up in room, I have an amphib ship, 2 LCACs, 2 LCUs, flight deck equipment gallore, several tanks and wheeled armored vehicles, artillary, and several Marine aircraft! I agree, smaller is better (and they can't bury you in your model). - MT

    That came out gorgeous! The interior looks great and an area that often gets left out with this subject. The outside looks great too! - MT
