Quite an expensive purchase but it looks so damn awesome at this size! So glad I finally got one: ThreeZero Armored Trooper Votoms 1/12 Scope Dog

Mine here has the issue. But it stands well and if not for this forum here I wouldn‘t have ever noticed there is something wrong at all. I think it‘s about if you’re a perfectionist or not. As for me, I don’t care and I’m totally happy with it.

Arrived right before Christmas 😄

Thanks! And yes, the Tomahawk does fit in nicely with my Frontier DX valks on display 🙂

Finished my work on the Tomahawk today: Panel lining, water decals, smoked gunbarrels, slightly dusted feet and a final matte coating. As I don't like the huge markings on the U.N.Spacy Destroids I went for a N.U.N.S. version with smaller ones.

Mine arrived too. Think I gonna give it some panel lining and a matte coating. And gladly I have some left over decals for the VF-0A, these seem to fit 😉

Love this one, but unfortunately I would not have space for displaying it. But anyway, thanks for the inspiration: 😉 This one may fit somehow.

@ThomWow, you lift her high up soaring in the sky. Wenn I look at my heavy chogokin Yamato it looks like it’s grounded on those flat stands.

Ok, now I got him 🧐😇

Don't know what to say! This is so cool. All these little details. A bit sad you gave Roy no airtime 😉(or did I miss it?)

@electric indigoShe's looking great! Your first post some time ago made me watch the series so I can say she really looks like the original.

@arbitThanks, I relly totally forgot about that tank. Can't even remember spraying the camouflage. Concerning the pickup you won't see a vehicle in this configuration on my country's street either. I'd love to get this one for real. For the Paint job only three colors (champagne metallic, black and clear red for the rear lights) were needed but my main fear was how to get the color evenly on such a big surface with TS spray cans. Never sprayed such a big parts lately. In the end lots of sanding and several thin layers worked out. By the way I went with a matte finish for the body so the chrome parts stand out a little more. A hassle were the parts that come fully chromed like the rims or bumpers which should be partly or completely painted black. Getting rid of the chrome without damaging the surfaces was no fun especially on those partly painted parts. Here's a pic before clear coating: Here some more, but I don't know, on the pictures if you look closely the color does not turn out as smooth as in reality at all 🤔

That are some awesome builds and projects you guys shown here over the past months. I tried to follow up but now after going through this thread I see I missed out several of them. With several interruptions I'm glad I was able to finish my "little" project today which had started beginning of January. After a long time not a static model but a RC pickup truck: Toyota Tundra High-Lift from Tamiya. Good thing was that I had lots of drying time before adding each layer of primer, color or coating to the cab so I'm really pleased with the paint job in the end. And while searching for my old 4-channel receiver I stumbled over my next project: A dusty 1/25 RC Panther - Started building back in the 2000s but somehow never finished it. Details like smoke on the gun and exhaust pipes as well as panel lining, weathering and clear coat are missing and I have to rework some of the decals, too.

As far as I'm concerned their stocks came in approx. 3 to 6 weeks after the item was available in Japan. The Gullzwerg Kit for example, I think it was available in Japan around beginning of December, I got the in stock notice end of January. Or for Metal Build Freedom Concept 2 I got availability beginning of October, I think in Japan it was in store around August/September. Then release date for the DX VF-25 Worldwide Anniv. afaik is May 2022 in Japan, Hobby Frontline lists it with May-June. But as I'm located in Europe ordering from them prevents me from high customs charges and increased shipping costs if ordered directly from Japan. So it is worth the wait.

Yes, it’s a mouse pad. It was included as a goodie from the shop I ordered from 🙂
