It's a bit difficult to tell from those extremely low-res pics, but it doesn't look like he painted your kit... just panel-lining and decals.

Is that what you were expecting?

Every part is painted. I asked him to give it a very clean anime accurate look that pops when it's on the shelf. Bright colors, etc.

If you look closely you can see how he used light grey against white on the armor to give it depth.

The pictures are crap. I'll try and get better ones when it arrives.

I get a renewal yesterday. Looks cool, but man is it junk compared to the current level of DX's.

Did someone mention F-14 landing gear? 

BTW,  I have these in uncompressed form if anyone wants them..

 

My best part of the summer was getting to familiarize myself and get flght rated on several WW2 planes.    For American aircraft white is the predominant color for undercarriage,  best guess on my part is to make any leaks or other issues readily apparent during  visual inspection. 

And cracks. It used to be standard to paint interiors/roll cages in race cars white for the same reason.

And I bought the first box set release with the upgrades...

...then a yellow set...

...and then I gave up trying to keep track of all the goddamn repaints they put out.

Quick questions... 

Were there any issues with the VF-1S Hikaru Movie Valkyrie or Strike Parts set?

Define issue.

-Are you asking if it has widespread issues that were common? The answer is no.

-Are you asking if there were the same random QC issues you will get with just about any product the answer is yes. 

Your chances of getting one with a QC issue are the same as with any/every other toy.

During the whole backwards number thing, I kept wishing someone would go and spray paint Bandai's corporate logo backwards on the back-facing side of their headquarters, just to exemplify how stupid their "symmetry" argument was.

Very cool...I want one...

I bought a PG Char's Zaku II and a Unicorn today. This may get a wee bit out of hand.

I'd spend $450 on a Aoshima 1/48 before I would spend $450 on this thing.

Yeah, that is surprisingly softly detailed for that scale. I’m curious as to the price, though, I missed that

$450

Unfortunately it looks junky.

Heh. You guys make a good point. That's a choice I would have been okay with too.

They could have cast The Rock. NO one would have noticed.

Perfect Grade RX78-2 Unleased. I comissioned it. I don't have the paint skills. Or the time.

Because I was asked......and to drive @no3Ljm crazy..........completed PG RX78-2 Unleased pics. Sorry no high def.

Up next, PG Perfect Strike!

When did shows get so afraid of recasting?

Right? They should have pulled a Bewitched.

The Expanse Season 6 is coming December 10:

 

It's been a minute since I read the books.........but that looks like a big departure to me.

I really, really like the Expanse but the last season (the Naomi Nagata show) was a mess IMO. The book it was based on was balanced between everything that was going on because everything is important yo the story. The show spend way too much time on the Naomi Family drama and it took away from everything else. And then they jammed a TON of important stuff into the last 10min of the last episode that was hard to understand. 

I have GOT fears for the last season.

Discuss or rant to your hearts content on the 31AX guys. 

Edit: I'll most likely get Mirage's 31ax with the her Grandparents namesake itasha, however will have to see if a bundled set will follow with the Supers (or not). 

 

I'm fine with one AX just to have the design. But, I'll get another and that armor. I passed on the last one because.....orange.
