“Tip-to-tip, Kallus”:

I usually painted the smoke on the outside to better hide and obscure the HUD lines.

Pics (towards the bottom of the linked post): Scroll down further, and you’ll see another post of the kit on the actual figure. You will need to paint the little tabs white on the top of the visor though.

Airbrush is probably preferable and less annoying. I did each of these via hand brush, but the Tamiya clears are a royal pain to hand brush. (And I’ve hand-painted a ton of customs over the years.) Have to dab or tap the clears onto the visor, instead of the typical brush stroke. Set the visor down on a white background or white paper towel too while dabbing in the smoke paint. That way you’ll be able to tell how much of a tint you’re applying. Very easy to go too dark with the smoke tint. Then just finish off with the clear color you want.

There’s a way to make the HUD lines less obvious: 1) use rubbing alcohol to remove the silver paint on the INSIDE of the visor. 2) paint outside of the visor with Tamiya clears (color of your choice and smoke paint). 3) the more Tamiya smoke you apply, the less the visor will be translucent. I kinda got better with each attempt:

^*Yep, felt unrealistic that they’d have to make any kind of decision that quickly. I can point to a very obvious real world comparison, where a country did NOT rush to retaliate before making sure to have all its facts straight first.

Have you gotten a Tread yet? Back to the Legioss, Sentinel did do a bunch of nice tweaks to really compact the fighter mode and to shrink down the length of the nosecone in soldier mode. Yeah, it's a bit of a messy underside. But at least, it sorta makes sense that the intakes and exhaust all follow one straight path. Also, really wish they had painted the pilots.

Why do I suddenly want to see panoramic shots of the Scottish Highlands while twirling around a katana blade?

Just finished A House of Dynamite. Pretty intense film. Just not sure how I feel about that ending.

I hate myself. Someone combined city pop with Hornet’s catchphrases (Hollow Knight/Silksong):

A key drawback is that the borders kinda obstruct your view more than the old Detolfs (Detolves? ).

That bloody sucks! 😡

^^ I remember trying to do that pose years ago with the Yammie 1/48’s.
