    Try putting some kapton tape over the surface of the print bed, and then scratching it up with a piece of sandpaper. Works for me when I do 400mm wide PLA prints at work.

    Aside from wether or not we get SDFM/DYRL merch in the US, I'm somewhat hopeful that merch and releases for other series might be showing up. For example, perhaps international distribution for upcoming Delta Merch, or an official English sub release of Frontier.

    That's pretty much the whole point of the human bits, and there's a bit of payoff further down the road when the two paths intersect (not really a spoiler, because of course they do).

    Just got the COBI Yamato in the mail, built the COBI Enterprise (CV-6) already and was fairly impressed.

    Well, definitely needed that bit of good news today after finding out I'm being let go in 5 weeks.

    Could be that styrofoam is only an issue when heated, out gassing or the like.

    It’s unlikely they would have bothered making new molds for vacuum formed plastic trays when they already had molds for styrofoam trays for the 31s.

    Not terribly high-resolution 3D print, unsmoothed. It is in color though, so there is that. Probably would have been cheaper to pay people in some 3rd world country to print resin castings, and would have looked better.

    Would the two of you have your little spat in PMs next time please?

    The VTOL/STOL requirement really ought to have been stuck into a separate airframe from the general-purpose airforce and carrier fighter. The number of limitations it puts on the overall design, even with the lift-fans and VTOL system itself being optional to install, are significant.

    When I did topcoating on my transforming VF-27 model kit, I found the best way was to half-transform it. Just unhook everything and splay them out as much as possible. Then shift things and give the spots that were shadowed a touch-up.

    No thanks, I'm good with the ¥29,440 one from HLJ. That 20% off coupon made it a lot more reasonable.

    ~4-5hours to build the Saturn V. Impressive kit, huge, sturdy, looks good.
  14. Sanity is Optional
    About 1.5 hours in and 1/3rd done with the Saturn V. Time to take a break and go play with the cats though.

    HLJ assures me that all the ones they have in stock were verified by Arcadia, however I did check the leg. All good, though the extension on the right side leg is incredibly stiff.

    Finally got in the Saturn V I ordered a little while ago, plus the freebie carrot house kit. Guess I know what I'll be doing tonight.
  17. Sanity is Optional
    Got a HLJ PW shipment, plus an order from LEGO.com in today.

    Some white poster board for background, and a couple of swing-arm lamps with daylight led bulbs will do the trick, honestly.
  19. Sanity is Optional
    How is the Hasegawa 1/48 YF-19? I have one in my backlog, plus the photo etched add-on kit.
  20. Sanity is Optional
    Yeah, DYRL is much more popular in Japan, and Roy is less popular in Japan. Plus COVID hit (and torpedoed international demand).
  21. Sanity is Optional
    Already requested shipping. Looks like the wings are a bit different to allow a fixture for the Lil' Drakkens to peg into the wing root where the tip folds down.
  22. Sanity is Optional
    I'm guessing an extra zero got added, and they're ¥2,300-¥2,500 (about $22-$24).

    More likely the guys behind the CG models decided to re-use the model on their end, just sticking it in a new location.

    I've been shipping my stuff out regularly, but I have definitely been taking advantage of going past 60days to fit in the odd item that doesn't release quite in time. For instance, both of the new Bandai 1/72 Delta kits and the Metal Build F91 still haven't released yet, but all 3 are slated for March...
  25. Sanity is Optional
    Yeah, not up to LEGO's brick quality, but worlds above Megablox. On a 1-10 Megablox to Lego scale, I'd put them around a 7-8?
