  1. 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!
  2. 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).
  3. *wonders when the next sequel to Record of Lodoss War will be butchered made*
  4. They should probably do the "face" as a separate piece.
  5. 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)
  6. Yeah... and I spent a good hour and a half coming up with all the drivel I posted as to "why my people do not speak of it" Sadly... it's probably still better than most of the crap that comes out of Hellyweird nowadays. Yes; I considered those things and that is why I would be dismal about anyone in the west even trying. On another note: instead of "speed running" all the greatest moments of an anime in an "adaption", they'd be better off doing what the new version of Dune did: spread it out over a few movies. But I can imagine most studios wouldn't want to commit to that for several reasons.
  7. "Stealth"? In my culture, it is expressly forbidden to speak of that... "motion picture". Amongst my people, just theh mere mention of it is considered a vile criminal offense, with the heaviest of penalties and sentences imposed at the sound of even hinting at it. Let me read to you an excerpt from The Annals of Pengulus Baratis, The Great Peng:
  8. I'll agree; One Piece does a good job at that for the most part. I just cringe anymore when it's announced a studio "has an adaption coming". I remember reading a supposed version of "the upcoming Voltron movie" (yeah, the original was King of 100 Beasts GoLion) that made me glad it went back to development hell. I think I know the answer already, but I'll just ask anyways: why do they ignore the source material when doing this? I know some stuff may not translate well into our culture or may be too weird/ perverted/ violent/ other-reason-I-can't-think-of-right-now. But in much of what I've seen, these things are barely recognizable from their sources and in at least a few cases, are practically unwatchable (imo). *praying they never try a live action adaption of Macross Plus*
  9. Do you know if they currently have any flights or cruises out to there? Asking for a friend...
  10. Got another one; this time for the 22 inch (1/537) "Cutaway" TOS-E that I designed. The ones included in the first issue weren't accurate, and these are for folks who bought or already have that kit:
  11. Do you think anyone here in the west has any idea of how to do a successful "live action" version of an anime? I think even One Piece has its' issues, tbh...
  12. Yeah, that would be this (description of "Iron Type" in lower corner of four boxes): https://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/imai/imai_main.htm and this (main list): https://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/imai/imai_main.htm
  13. UPDATE: made a stand for the KBoP- assebly (pieces are oak): Paintin (acrylc): isplay ill try to get better pcs this evening; vry rough night tnight.
