    I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind. And if I'm wrong, you can tell him to blame me.

    Talk to Arbit; I think he designed some in 3d print...

    I have an idea to restore the horror aspect of the Xenomorph:

    Interesting...

    Looks incredible!!! Moving forward, if you ever do this one again, I would recommend installing/ replacing the joints from the start, and reinforce the areas where they attach. I'd also recommend replacing some of the "arms" for the transform with metal rods or something. Just a few suggestions, as I'm not aware of a more modern kit for the Cyclone/ Ride Armor.

    Looks familiar somehow....

    Just loving this!!! I think a gentle drybrush with some silver in a few key places and it's good to go! Nice job with this!

    Right? I could buy a Power Warrior for that amount.

    Much like Shadow Chronicles...

    I think I'll just watch the first two films and call that good.

    Right? I'm not a firm believer in super glue's shear strength, even with baking soda reinforcement.

    Yeah; that happened to my Leigoss transformable fighter, and ultimately led to its' demise .

    Awesome! Looking forward to that. Just be careful on the joints for that figure; from my experiences with Imai's Mospeada line, they're really brittle and fragile. O.o

    Looks really good! One thing I might suggest is an oil wash: thinned down oil paint applied into crevasses and corners to bring them out more.
  15. pengbuzz
    Weird. O.o We'll have to wait and see...

    BTW: from what I found out today, Round2 is reissuing the models: https://www.culttvmanshop.com/PREORDER-VINCENT--The-Black-Hole-reissue-from-Round-2MPC--Price-TBA-PREORDER-RESERVATION_p_7859.html

    That reminds me: sometime I gotta scratch up V.I.N.C.E.N.T. ...
  19. pengbuzz
    Yeah; we get to see how that began to disintegrate:
  20. pengbuzz
    Sorry; I meant your current project. O.o Sometimes my brain vapor locks on me while typing!

    That was just luck: I had the clear soft inner plastic tray from my Koss KTXPRO-1 Titanium Headphones, and the part where the earpieces sat provided me the shapes for both canopies. A little heat for the upper one and a wooden sphere helped refine it further (I prefer "soda bottle plastic" when possible, as it can be ridiculously thin at scale and still look much clearer than styrene. Also: clearcoat doesn't bother it!). No problem! Curious to see how yours comes out! :D

    Calling this one done; 4 years is long enough: It's now up on the shelf (will build permanent stand later, after I've had some time away from it); next project, not sure of at this point. Finances are tight again and more uncertainty in the air about the future.

    I gave up on HLJ. TOo much in the end, and wait times... nuff said.

    This leads me to question the use of plastic parts in the joints at particularly high-stress points: many of them are supporting quite a bit of mass/ weight or are under considerable tension/ strain when moved. As for the dyes being used on plastics: it depends upon the dye and the process. Some dyes can inherently weaken the plastic based on their composition, while heat and other processes can disrupt the polymerization chains in the plastics. Even dye concentration in the wrong amount can be an issue, as dyes are a chemical and plastic is a complex mix of chemicals based on the polymerization of petroleum products. For any dye attempt, I would recommend trying to test it first to see if it will create an issue later on.

    Guess she never has to worry about Macross collectible preorders, huh?
