Skull-1

Tried to snap the gimmick seat into the Battloid not realizing it doesn't click. Bang. Back hatch gave way and I ripped the hinge off the tail bar pivot. Facepalm. Thought I was gonna have a stroke. Patched it it together but it will never look right in fighter mode again without a miracle. I need a replacement part badly.

You're welcome, bro. Hope you get that head laser fixed! I broke the backpack hinge on my Myria Super J 1/48 last week so it could be worse.

$287??????????? OMG... No way am I buying this. Way too rich for my blood.

Lots of us are dumping our 1/48s. Prices seem reasonable. I saw a guy in For Sale with a lot of them listed...

I am open to selling everything. I am downsizing my life. These things live in storage, out f sight, ignored. No point in keeping them. Any reasonable offer will be considered.

Definitely a good idea. What are these 1/55s going for nowadays?

Send a PM.

Lol, that was the plan for the 1As but it never happened... The custom bug is kinda' out of my system.

Sure explains why I am broke now!

I've lost my mind. Really. Why did I buy all these? What do I need them for? Facepalm. I actually have MORE I just got tired of carrying them upstairs. I want out! Help! LOL

Lol. I am about to move which will mean getting my collection back out of storage. Gonna open my boxes and lay everything out then post ads by type. I think I will have stuff of interest to many.

Good info. Thanks, all. Watch for stuff to start popping up there soon...

Thanks man. Lol. Do we even have a classifieds section any more?

I quit collecting. Now I want to dump pretty much everything. 1/55s, 1/60s 1/48s. I have boxes full of them. I even have four M&Ms in each size I think I want to part with. I also have lots of ROBOTECH stuff (Alphas, SDF-1, Zentraedi pods, etc.). I will lose money overall, but they just sit in my closets in plastic tubs doing nothing so why have them? I spent my life acquiring things with dreams of a nice display room Now I just feel weighed down.

Looks great!

Ah that reminds me of my Tiger Meet that I sold. I miss that thing. It was pretty cool. Good going.

1/55 with the thigh mod is the shizzle.

Great example of how sunlight turns them yellow, not heat or humidity like some try to claim. Excellent picture.

For 1/48 Yamato I go with fighter. Everything else I pretty much like Gerwalk/Guardian mode.

Be careful using inkjets. The ink fades with exposure to light and you will wind up with a dull or nonexistent decal. I try to use laser printers when I can. I don't have the fancy machine like Devin had so it is the next best thing. I've been told the decal paper can damage the printer but haven't seen that yet...

Less is more in that regard. Yours is spot on here.

You are right about the upper intakes. But that is one of the last things to be done. I am trying to decide if I go with a decal, paint, or pencil shading there. I put the decal on to see how it looks. I am leaning that direction for sure... Thanks for the compliments.

Thanks guys. The right arm doesn't match the left in the photos because I was experimenting with a different color scheme. I will fix that. Much left to do on it. - Canopy - Nose Blisters - Swivel Thigh - Various Filling of Joints and Screw Holes - Foot Thruster Mod - Arm Slider Filling But it is getting there... The wing mounted magnets are working great. I learned a thing or two doing those.
