@tekering I live in the PNW and see cars that beat up daily. No huge claw marks but definitely random panel colors and tons of rust. I think it’s looking great! Oh, and thanks for the kind words ✌️The panel lines on this are so shallow so cleanup on those was a little hairy. Also the decals went down better than anticipated. I get so nervous applying them. Definitely a something I need practice with. @Thom yeah this is my second ARII ship in the fleet. The sculpts on these are laughable and if you squint really hard they look great! Hahaha. Besides that I think the tiny SDF-1 that comes packed with it is the best part.

I went for the Bernard

Not sure if there is an existing post for these kits so please delete if redundant. Preorders are up for the Moderoid Mospeada cyclones. https://www.hlj.com/moderoid-mospeada-vr-052f-stick-type-genesis-climber-mospeada-gsc18995

Hahahaha I do have a pickle coming up next though so there’s that. Lol

Post pumpkin pie final touches. Don’t mind the table cloth. Lol Was so excited to share. 1:144 LED Mirage V3. Will try for a better natural light pic in the morning.

🤣

Wow, that’s looking great!

I agree. These smaller 1:144 scale Volks kits have plenty of nice detail. They really pop once you hit it with a panel wash. That pearly semi transparent plastic is really nice. I wish it was slightly more transparent so the frame colors would show a little more but I’m still loving it. Ethereal is a great description and I hope I do it justice. I just need to stick the landing. Fingers crossed. 😊

Looking good!

So close. Decal time and then final construction!

That’s cool!

Hahahaha. Face palm… yeah that would be a great way to make the tent and cables. Sometimes I forget that materials other than plastic can be used to great effect. Also readily available. Thanks for that suggestion. Appreciate it.

Wish it came with a ⛺️ Maybe some creative could make a 3d print?

Yeah… Hahaha. I see, that makes way more sense.

I think Electric Indigo mentioned seams. I was thinking about the larger gaps by the wing area. Anyway, thanks for the info. 👍
