    AKA Gundam.

    If they do go with being able to produce it, I would say have it just after they found a method. That way, while they can produce it, it's labor intensive, and is going to be slow for the foreseeable future. Just because they find a way doesn't mean it needs to be easy, and it doesn't have to be all at once; perhaps enough to start outfitting a squadron's worth of mechs in a given space of time. It could also prompt other powers or interests to either try to gain that advantage for themselves, or try to sabotage the NUNS' efforts to produce it, That could make for some interesting storylines in of itself.

    Another possibility: they make a breakthrough on fold quartz production in some manner. That, or they produce fold half-gallons.

    Glad it worked for you!

    Be careful of that though: too long and the parts can warp! That's how I lost the booms on my Matchbox SDF-1! O.O

    Just need to let the base dry; I applied Realistic Waterâ„¢ by Woodland Scenics: May do some refining work on panel lines (nose is a bit lacking on them), but I can do nothing more with the color. It is what it is, and I'm not fighting with this anymore. My reference (courtesy "crackerjazz" on RPF):

    Try putting the head in the freezer for a bit; that may make the joints brittle enough to pop apart.

    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:
  11. pengbuzz
    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.
  18. pengbuzz
    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!
  19. 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.
  20. pengbuzz
    Does it transform? O.O
  21. 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!
  22. pengbuzz
    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.
