    I never was a fan of the Nobel, too much facial hair😒

    I think it looks great and can't wait to see it. This and Lego batman are the most exciting things dc has as far as upcoming movies.

    At least it was the red one.👍

    I tried getting tickets this weekend, but there's really only one theatre within 50 miles showing it and they're only doing one showing a day and they were all sold out. Some of the reviews are saying its bad, but still the best of the three films made, so I might try and see if it's still showing this weekend since I have some free tickets to waste.

    As far as cutters I still use a set of cheap finger nail clippers, but a good set of nippers can't hurt. If your hand brushing skills are great then you may want to use citadel paints for warhammer and other games, but don't run it through an airbrush. Tamiya is really good if you use an airbrush, but not as good by hand.i don't really care for enamels much since they rub off as easily as acrylics. Laquer paints are getting easier to find in hobby shops now that model master started to bottle them and they stick well to plastics and primers but they don't do well by hand although they can be easier to clean up and if you use an acrylic top coat or future before a color change you can erase mistakes with a mild thinner. You may not need primer, but it helps if the kit has moveable joints.

    So it looks like no one really went to the movies this weekend and suicide squad is #1 again, but with only $20 million U.S. and that's maybe the lowest I've seen a #1 film earn on a weeken in a while. At least it's not as depressing as poor Ben Hur not even getting second place and for the extreme budget.

    I don't know how the monster helps with school prep unless you count fighting off bullies or geometry lessons on figuring out how much space you need for display 🤓 either way nice promo.

    So Kings Glaive was sold out and I was offered a free movie for a late birthday gift, so we went to see suicide squad. I mentioned earlier I wouldn't pay to see it, due to the ratings and some of the talk online and due to the fact that no one I really knew well had seen it. I actually really liked it it was a lot of fun for me and my daughter. It wasn't perfect, but the good far outweighed the bad. It also didn't feel as choppy as most reviews have said. I do think some scenes maybe we're cut short and feel awkward and I have to agree that it looked like Batman was trying to take advantage of Harley and can see how someone would make that mistake if they hadn't heard it explained. There also seems to be a problem with editing in these dc films to the point of directors having to explain things like why the jokers teeth are messed up. Another problem I had was that I hated Killer Croc. I also hated the flash, and his overuse of the lightning. I did enjoy everyone else mostly.I think waiting on this helped because the explanations put things together better. Anyway again I really liked it and hope and extended cut has added parts to the scenes to put this film together even better.

    I really love tekkaman blade. That's one of my favorites of the 90's. Anyway if you think that was tough to get through, I just finished the old Fist of the North Star. There are so many recap episodes I started fast forwarding them. At the episode in the high eighties there are five recap episodes in a row and then another couple a few episodes later. There is also a lot of fluff episodes and somewhere along the way the dog is never seen again. I don't think it died and maybe it was left at a village, but I must have not payed attention and just didn't notice or forgot until around episode 95 or so. I started Fist of the North Star 2 and am a few episodes into that and still no dog even though it would be older by that point.

    I also think waiting a couple weeks to a month and the prices go down a lot. The character kits will start around the $40 U.S. range and will drop to the $20-$25 range with free shipping most of the time. It helps to know the standard price and give yourself a range of how much extra you would want to spend and see if it comes to that cost or even less and also if your orders qualify for free shipping.

    I don't mind him sounding old. I think this is embracing the cheese of the old show so it needs the king of cheese🧀

    I heard about this on the radio this morning. Sounds like they got as many of the old actors as possible for the voices.

    I had the same thing happen with the only one I ever bought. About a couple of weeks of being on a shelf the polycap in one of the legs split apart and when I picked it up the leg would just fall out of joint. I think they sized the pegs bigger than the caps slightly and cheap material added to the problem. My older smaller banpresto is a bit flimsy, but still holds up not only that but looks better since the panel lines aren't upscaled.

    I read an article on ign that said that same thing. He sounds really angry at wb and even hated the contracts he signed limiting his activities. Maybe he won't sign on for the role of it comes up in future films.

    Don't forget about the loose polycaps trying to hold up that weight💪

    I saw the trailer and I'm not sure if I'm interested or not. I just hope it's not a tease like contact.

    The ca may cloud the parts more. I think a gloss coat or future dip will help with some minor blemishes, but it will still be clear white. Try experimenting on a piece of sprue before doing it on that big expensive kit.
  18. Big s
    I wouldn't try it unless you can still take the kit apart and let the glue dry on the joint before assembly. Otherwise a thin gloss coat may be better.

    Have fun with the gifts and happy birthday👍

    I doubt the max will sit on the shelf for 3 or 4 months.

    I still say for those that have a glaug or regult, they make really good storage units for extra hands and the heat shield or other smaller parts.

    I miss the mechanical details of the old mg inner frames.

    The baboon butt custom is a great kit, and I like the gaplant as well, but you may need to toughen up the joints. A bit of ca while putting in the poly caps helps a lot.
  24. Big s
    I've been wondering about that one, the Char and all the macross ones. The figuarts are really bad with the whole teaser thing. I almost forgot about Char's horse.

    Is also disagree with the chunky monkey. It was great for its time and there was no real competition, but I think it's more for the extreme collector or someone with high nostalgic feelings for it. It's not really a must have in this day.
