    Well after looking at the Gamila pics again and again, I finally broke down and preordered the Polmeria class also. That is quite a bit of plastic + the bonus kit for under $40. Gives me hope that the Domelus III won't be too bad ( price wise) after all. Chris

    They are said more or less. One by a possessed character and the other by the one that reads the book and is describing what may have been released. Chris

    I know right! Can you believe you where holding off watching now?! Lol Chris

    Thanks guys! As much as I loved the little 1/100's take on the design, I've really come around to preferring the 2199 design. They are VERY similar but have some differences. The 1/100 looks a little stubby to me know. Chris

    Just got back from it. My wife and I loved it. There is a little fan service after the credits too. Chris

    Hey William, thanks for the compliment. I've heard a lot about the Alclad line but I have never tried them. I know a bunch of people want to use them for the new 1/72 Gunstar kit. Need to get around to mine some time too. To answer your question about the light grey parts in the kit, yes they are supposed to be bare metal. I think on my Yamamoto I'm going to use the Chromed Silver that I used on the stowed version above. Chris

    Fantastic!! The Domelus does look like Styrene too. Not crazy about the Polmeria carriers....though they do look a lot bigger than I expected! The Gaiderol is already on preorder and I was hoping they would make a Meltoria class battle cruiser too...my favorite with along with the Gaiderol's. insta buy for the Domelus III and the Meltoria So we know the Gaiderol will have Kripiera destroyers, maybe the Meltoria battle cruiser will have the UX-1 included too. The pictures I posted above are my builds! The details and panel lines aren't too bad, especially after a primer coat, base coat, clear coat ect. Chris

    Thanks Myk and everyone, when it comes to the Cosmo Zero it really is a labor of love. One of my all time favorite fighter designs. Chris

    My wife and I are big fans of the original...well the whole trilogy TBH. We are probably going to go see this tonight and are glad to hear all the good buzz it is getting. Also heard there is something to see at the end of the credits. Chris

    Hey guys, just finished my first 2 Cosmo Zero's from the new Space Battleship Yamato 2199 I had posted these pictures in the Yamato 2199 thread but thought they would be missed since many of you may not watch the show....Shame on you if you are not it is an AMAZING remake!! the Cosmo Zero design has been one of my all time favorite sci-fi designs since I was a kid....it's just so aggressive looking. The inflight Alpha 1 is painted in Testors MM aluminum and Tamiya flat red and Yellow. The primmer I used was Gray. The storage mode UNCN fighter is Tamiya chromed silver other colors are the same but with a white primer. The difference can be seen in the exhaust nozzle of the inflight Alpha 1 since that nozzle is silver. The overall difference isn't that big...the UNCN one is a little more bright particularly the reds and yellows since I used the white primer. Next up Yamamoto's Alpha 2 (orange nose and white trim for those that don't know) and then my custom Cosmo Zero painted like a WWII Zero to go with my 2 Harlock SW-190's that I painted like WWII German FW-190's.

    Here are my 2 Cosmo Zero builds. The inflight Alpha 1 is painted in Testors MM aluminum and Tamiya flat red and Yellow. The primmer I used was Gray.

Wasn't sure if this would be allowed in the models section since it's not Macross. If it's ok then I will post there so others can see that may miss them here. Chris

    Where do you see RDM say, anywhere in that article, what's wrong with JJ Abrams Star Trek??Like Azrael said, he is just talking about the mediums and the limitations there in. Chris

    If anyone has more than 1 VF-171CF and would like to swap for a VF-171EX (at no additional cost except shipping) let me know. I only want one 171 and decided I would like te CF better than the Alto EX. this would be a prime opportunity for anyone that wants an EX but doesn't want to pay extra. Chris

    Never looked in this thread before so sorry if was already mentioned. I'm watching the movie Arthur Christmas with my kids ATM, and during the beginning Christmas delivery sequence when the one Elf is jumping through the kids room that has all the noisy toys you can see a VF-1S toy lying on its back on the floor.

    Ok I'll bite. PM pretty please. Chris
  17. Dobber
    That is if GRRM ever finishes the damn series! LOL! Chris

    Yeah book 5 was really good, but book 4 was.....I don't know. Just got really sick of Cersie. Book 4 was definitely the weakest book so far, IMO. Chris

    The one I'm building with the folded up parts is slightly modified. The hinge parts are, IMO, way over sized. Hell, the lower stabilizer touches the ground when it is folded. There is just no feasible way for thos hinges to fit inside the very thin wings and stabalisers. I trimmed the wing hinges and just scratch built the stabilizer hinges so the look more realistic....to me anyway. Chris

    Nah, just left the canopies untinted. Also got my rerelease of Yamato herself, I wanted to take another crack at her, and am slightly disappointed with it. I was hoping it would've came with the decals that should've came with it in the first place, but was instead included in the UNCN fleet set 1. They were not added to the rerelease. Chris

    Bare metal. I'll post pictures of my first 2time that are nearly complete...just finishing the decals and pilot. 1 is Kodai in flight with the heavy assault load. The other is the UNCF (prototupe) in the folded up configuration. Also just got my 2 Yamamoto Zero's. 1 will be Yamamoto's Alpha2 with just missiles and the other will be a custom painted as an old Japanese A6M Zero...a through-back like I did with the SW-190's. Chris

    Soooo glad I got this and the S when they were I initially released. Don't have to go through this crap again! Chris
  23. Dobber
    A pre-sell out for the pre-order! Lol Chris
  24. Dobber
    I never did get to see the final season. I remember it was moved to some obscure time slot without much notice + I was going to OCS so I think I noticed it too late. Chris
  25. Dobber
    Man, I'm going to have to go back and watch DS9 again. It really did become one of the....if not THE best Trek series. Hell, it even had Kirk! Chris
