    I hate to ask, but link for pics? Couldn't find the box art in question (me dinosaur, rawr...)

    Watch Vin Diesel show up as Ramirez...

    Making a note of that as well; I finally got my money back from TFkingdom via Paypal, (NOTE: DO NOT USE TF KINGDOM FOR ANYTHING FOLKS!), so I'm compiling my own list of rip-offs and such. Thanks for the heads-up Gidiot!

    Sounds like perhaps the bottom of the box got damp or something like that. And yeah, the white detail ones I wouldn't have; sorry I misunderstood. I wonder if the decals would work if they were soaked in hot water for a considerable amount of time (10-20 minutes)? Only thing I can think of right at the moment, but I'll see if I have any other ideas...

    Cooked right on? Wow... I've only ever seen that if something seeped onto the backside of the decal paper (had that happen once with a clearcoat spill), or the paper wasn't printed with the water soluble adhesive. Tell me what decals you need and I'll see what I have in my stash. Also, maybe some of the gang here can help out...

    Looking forward to Batman, but I'm not sure about the Superman series.

    After seeing your previous work Photogirl, I'm looking forward to your progress on this project!

    Ah, thanks.

    Please forgive my ignorance (and late post on this), but I was re-reading this thread and came across this. statement What exactly is "5-1-1 (unless you mean the traffic and travel info line in the US)?

    The longer looking one looks better, IMO. Looking good all around, MT!!

    Here are some I have; please forgive the condition of the boxes, as I have moved 3-4 times in the past decade and I'm lucky to have them at all!

    Agreed; I would say the only time it wouldn't is if they were telling the story of how they got to that status, complete with bad mistakes, high-cost failures, monumental screw-ups, and other such things that made sure their position was earned rather than just "a kewl club" as it were. Those skills need to cost much training, pain and injury, the lethality needs to have been learned through rigorous discipline and enduring the consequences of not heeding that discipline, and the secrecy must come with a high price (loss of friends, loss of family, loss of identity, etc.) There's a reason Master Chief in HALO is a bada$$ and his story is replete with tragedy, failure and sacrifice. If the "Breakers" are to be that kind of special, then that kind of horrible must await them, IMO. Yeah, pretty fan-fic alright. Although if they wanted to be authentic, that tech was probably built by the lowest bidder and breaks down every other mission or two. (not to mention the black paint was watercolor and even the first good humid or foggy day will ruin their camo. O.o :lol:

    I recall that Guld Goa Bowman was not only the pilot of the YF-21 but also one of its' designers (if my sources are correct). Is it possible his background had any influence on the exterior design (even though the Meltran used that suit and not the Zentran forces)?

    ROFL!!!! I would say it's desperation on HG's part, but since RT doesn't exactly contribute all that much to their finances, I wonder what's driving them here? Especially given that with the aforementioned deadlock broken, trying to compete with BW isn't a necessity really. Or, I'm completely missing what's going on here....

    The older Bandai 1/72 kits do need work. The new Bandai 1/72 kits... good grief.

    Please, by all means! That original stand is nobody's friend, and it's hella weak! o.o And admittedly, I got the stand idea from you when you mounted the E-A on that board! So, let me return the favor! Here is the graphic I used, in case you need it; I also did the "A" version in case you need it for the other one:

    Well, BW now being able to do the release would be (at least IMO) impetus for them to consider doing a new animated series for SFDM. Update the story a little bit (tech, terms and whatnot, maybe push the timeline a bit into the future like 2099 instead of 1999 for the launch of the SDF-1) and tailor the dialogue so english and Japanese dubs would work.

    UPDATE: Got the stand built for the 1/537 Refit- The stand is a solid metal rod that runs from the bottom of the base (wooden board), all the way to the upper inside of the impulse crystal on the saucer. The rod is fixed in place on the board with a generous helping of Plastic Welder, covered with a styrene tube to disguise it as well as reinforce the connection. Also too the opportunity to make the stand into a "display" (just need some acetate for the "screen": The stand is strong enough that I can safely set a full Pepsi can on the saucer, bump the table, and the model will not wobble whatsoever. That will make sure no other incidents happen to it. I'll try to get better pics a little later; right now, the light is crummy and I need a better backdrop! lol With that, the 1/537 is finished; this iteration began in 2011 (it was a smoothie, which is why I didn't want to make it into anything else!), and it represents the culmination of 40 years of attempts to build this particular model (1/537 AMT). Thanks for watching folks!

    Well, if you think about it: gravity would be pulling on those guns and the actuators/ motors to aim them would be under constant strain to keep them pointed forward. Perhaps the artist felt that the captain would order them pointing down to relieve undue stress on those motors.

    Okay...don't say I didn't warn you guys; There you go.

    looks like the "blah" is working fine so far, Shawn!

    First post in the Workbench since the migration!

    You may want to replace those pegs with either a stronger styrene or possibly ABS.
