Work on the Bronco II continues. Base coat, panel lines and decals done. Surprisingly the 42 year old decals held up perfectly after a coat of gloss Mod Podge - 0 breakage! Next it was time to dirty her up a bit. One of my favourite things about anime mecha is the fact that, because they are imagined, there is a lot more freedom in weathering them. Here is a first pass with an oil dot filter. You can see the difference between the fuselage which has the filter and the engines without: And here the engines have been done: Next up some selective paint chipping.Not sure which technique I'll use for that yet. I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

If they do anything more with Stranger Things I think it will centre on the story around the man in the mineshaft and the origin of that rock, and maybe what happened to Henry between that moment and his becoming Papa's pet.

I don't really use the like feature either, preferring to actually comment. It's not a major concern, it just struck me as odd that there was no way for me to see who had liked posts, and I got curious as to if that was how the software was designed, or an admin. choice and what the reasoning behind it was. Now I know. Thanks all.

🙄 I suppose I just can't understand the mentality of some people 🙄 I mean, honestly . . . Why?

Definite preorder. I figure translators will likely only get better, so even if the translations are problematic now . . .

Oops! wrong thread.

Holly Crap! That's awful.

That makes sense. Hadn't thought about it that way.

I mean I could understand concealing the identity if it were an up/down vote, but what is the down side of a member knowing it was me who liked their post? Or me knowing which members liked a post I made? It just seemes an odd decision to hide this information behind the word 'Somebody' - i.e. 'Somebody liked a post'. Has identifying people who liked a post caused some sort of trouble in the past? Just curious.

Slow and steady wins the race!😉

@tekering That's definitely a unique addition to you collection! Good luck with the restoration. Still working away at the Bronco II conversion. I installed some magnets in the rear bottom of the wing openings and the rear lower claves to hold the legs in place whe in fighter mode, I also added some much needed panel lines to the top surface: And with legs engaged:

I'm guessing a Saturn 5 rocket, specifically The Appolo 11 launch vehicle.

And both the Daedelus and the Prometheus would 10+ meters, so I'm pretty sure they're both out as well.

Wait, the hint says 'it's a 1:48 model' At that scale an SDF-1 model would be 25 Meters long! Somehow I don't thing anyone on these boards is THAT crazy.
