    As I described (and suspected).

    As best I can tell from watching extreme closeups on several videos: the front is one piece, and the back of the head is a left and right piece that combine to form the entire back half. It looks to be glued or sonically welder together; I recommend you go slowly and use caution.

    Just remember one important thing:

    More progress on the 1/72 shuttle: Stand is pretty much finished now; also finished the thermal blankets on the OEM pods: Still working on the tiles for the bottom; had to fill in part of it because the lines went off on bad angles: Yeah, it's kind of messy; I give up on trying to do any "clean" builds: More mess decals: Finished spacelab: Trying to source parts for a poseable CanadArm; we'll see how that goes. Meantime, finishing work on the Top Gun F-14 (not too happy with it but I'm not redoing the b*****d again. 😠 If it sill looks too dark, I'm painting the friggin' thing like an ice cream truck!!! I also need to photograph the 1/537 former cutaway TOS E, but I've just been unmotivated to do that.

    I think I'm just going to wait on this one.

    Well, the cruise wouldn't be named for it; it would just bring people there. As for leaving: nope. Although jerks who act up on the island would be given that as a punishment.

    ^ The definition of epic.

    That's basically what I did when I modified my G1 Devastator: made a waist, pelvis and articulated thighs w/ knee joints.

    I've heard of it, but I know LA totally awesome is safe for plastics; not sure about purple power.

    Right; that's why I suggested stripping it, and why I also suggested testing the stripping on sprue. I'd truly be upset with myself if something I recommended ruined a project on someone else!
  12. pengbuzz
    Sounds good.Iif you have any concerns about the process, you can always test it on a piece of sprue from that kit first.

    Does it transform? O.O
  14. pengbuzz
    I've tried that, and it never worked well for me. I think you'd be better off priming over clean plastic than a surface like that, as the paint has a much better chance of staying on the model!

    If you're planning to paint that model in classic colors, I strongly recommend you strip the metallic finish off it before the attempt. L.A. Totally Awesome!! cleaner removes chrome safely and effectively; just let it soak overnight in it (available at your local Dollar Tree or dollar store).

    *wonders when the next sequel to Record of Lodoss War will be butchered made*

    Anaheim should have stuck to sponsoring The Mighty Ducks.

    They should probably do the "face" as a separate piece.

    Much like Acme in the Looney Tunes series...

    Mobile Suit Gundam: Any Joke You Can Think Of Was Either Already a Mission, Story Or Trope In The Gundam Universe.

    Mobile Suit Gundam: Operation- One Trick Pony.
  23. pengbuzz
    Yeah... I think by now, the One Year War has been fought and refought so many times in the various series, that Amuro and Char are probably receiving royalties.

    Thanks MT!! That was the idea! On the note of finishes: I recently found out about a company called True North, that is making a lot of the colors Model Master used to (before Testors punked out), Here's their link: https://www.truenorthpaints.com/ AFAIK, the paints are alkyd enamels, but they have a pretty good selection. I found this site via a review linked on another forum: http://www.modelwarships.com/reviews/misc/True_North/TrueNorthPaints/TrueNorthPaints.htm (NOTE: don't click the link the review has to the site: it's an old link that bounces back to modelwarships.com. Instead, please use the link I first posted)
