    Nice save/ work on these, WM!! And thanks! It's still kind of a work in progress; glad the references are of help to you!

    Much appreciated Steve, but by the time I read this, I had already done most of the work in masking tape: Had to do quite a bit of research on this one, as the colors looked gunmetal grey in parts of ST:TMP. I found color pics of the filming model here though: https://www.collectormodel.com/round2-models/4487-polar-lights-model-kits-ktinga-the-colors-man-the-colors-pt-1/ and https://www.collectormodel.com/round2-models/4500-polar-lights-model-kits-ktinga-the-colors-man-the-colors-pt-2/ I still have several small details to add in; those are ongoing, as is the installation of windows (not 11, thank heaven!). Stay tuned...

    So I'm guessing that running freecell using Threadripper is a bit pointless, huh?

    Well, when you have Jim Carrey as Kirk, I figured what's a little non-canon?

    Don't get me started on THAT little b@$7@rd. I'd sooner see Badgey make a return.

    And her replacement...

    Maybe we'll finally get G1 Jetfire now?

    Or too much alcohol/ mind-altering substances for the designers. 🫥

    I've found leaving old decals in moderately hot water for 6-8 hours can rescue them. Then it's just a case of sliding them onto used decal paper from a fresher kit and mixing a solution of white glue and water to adhere them to the model (did that for a couple of kits recently).

    1/55's revisited

    Looks like they reworked the heads.

    I would recommend that whatever shade of white you paint the VF-1S, add a slight bit of pearlescent white to it to give it a slight metallic sheen, even when flat coat is applied.

    NEXT PROJECT- STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE K'TINGA CLASS BATTLECRUISER (1/537): This one literally just came in today; box was sealed in the original plastic. It's a 1984 reissue, but that makes no difference to me. The top of the main body in back is somewhat flattened out and needs some heat-reshaping, but the plastic is in excellent condition. No brittleness or cracks; it was sealed and kept out of sunlight. Decals look a little aged, but they shouldn't be too much of an issue. I know this model has some accuracy issues, but some spare styrene and a couple of modifications should resolve that nicely. As usual, I'll be doing a custom stand for this on,e as the stand kind of reminds me of a light blue Doritoâ„¢!! Stay tuned...

    Keith Richards will live to document the heat death of the universe.

    At least it isn't the old 1/650!

    Sorry the freezing idea didn't work out! When you do get the head apart though, if you dress the seam edges carefully with a needle file, it should lessen the visibility of the seam line when you reassemble it.

    Sorry, my source indicated thousands; maybe I need better sources. Seriously though: I agree that overkill by several hundred is about as bad as overkill by thousands. I guess it would just be a preference of how many smithereens you'd prefer to be in. 😛 An all hands on deck, the $#!7's about to hit the fan event. FRMville.

    The one overriding problem with a PMC vs. a Zentraedi force is that even the smaller Branch Fleets consist of thousands of ships. The larger Main Fleets are composed of millions of vessels, and all of these fleets have some pretty heavy weaponry that comes with them, both ship-mounted as well as launched mecha/ fighters (As @Seto Kaiba has pointed out in previous posts). Given that UN Spacy/ NUNS has had one hell of a time even defeating a smaller fleet in times of crisis and that most PMC's are not all that large or well-equipped as NUNS, I seriously doubt that they would do much to "hold the line" against much except a small rouge force of malcontent Zentraedi or pirates.

    Good! BTW: We've been trying to reach you about your Valkyrie's extended warranty.

    Yeah, the Glaug is really coming along nicely there, Papa Rat! What matters here the most is enjoying what you're doing; that translates into how the model comes out in my opinion. With all the grief many of mine suffer, I think they could use a drink or two! O.o

    No, I tried scratchbuilding my own some time ago, and it died. I posted it here on Macrossworld, and was quite perturbed abut it. :(

    Cat's Eye... groan.
