  1. Another possibility: they make a breakthrough on fold quartz production in some manner. That, or they produce fold half-gallons.
  2. Glad it worked for you!
  3. 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
  4. Just need to let the base dry; I applied Realistic Water™ 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):
  5. Try putting the head in the freezer for a bit; that may make the joints brittle enough to pop apart.
  6. As I described (and suspected).
  7. 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.
  8. Just remember one important thing:
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. ^ The definition of epic.
  12. That's basically what I did when I modified my G1 Devastator: made a waist, pelvis and articulated thighs w/ knee joints.
  13. I've heard of it, but I know LA totally awesome is safe for plastics; not sure about purple power.
  14. 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!
  15. Sounds good.Iif you have any concerns about the process, you can always test it on a piece of sprue from that kit first.
  16. 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!
  17. 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).
  18. *wonders when the next sequel to Record of Lodoss War will be butchered made*
  19. They should probably do the "face" as a separate piece.
