    I'm a bit excited for the revive line but it's still not origin

    to me what it seems to suggest is somewhere there's an underground facility that hicks and Ripley are stuck in, almost kinda bio dome like and the company is trying to reverse engineer and possibly tame zenomorphs. that's how the concepts look to me.

    Weaver NOT doing an alien film is like Arnold not doing a Terminator film............it just wouldn't be right when you've already been in all of them in some fashion. I think visually, Blomkamp can wow us with effects and environments and all that fun amazing stuff. Hell, iMax? Ooooooooo. Storywise....it's just not scary anymore. It's gotta be something different, really really different. And how can you top and max different after 4 films? ......techincally 6? We had the intro into our nightmares with Alien.........we had the edge of your seat wanting to cry cause there's a hive in Aliens......we had a twisted animalistic style in Alien 3......we had whatever the hell Resurrection tried annnnnddddddd we had 2 AVP films we wanna forget. I want to see what Neil can cook up I REALLY do wanna hope for the best cause I think he could do something amazing. He wowed me on district 9, but he dulled me in Elysium. I'm looking forward to Chappie, but my expectations are low. Also, he has to sign Michael Biehn. He was pissed he got axed in Alien 3 without a single thought. They obviously can't bring Newt back, but dear god bring back Michael he deserves it.

    My kit came in 3 days ahead of time way to go Fedex for once! I had to paint the feet so far....I didn't like the stickers I felt like they'd fail me pretty quickly so I took out my semi-gloss and going over it then I'll clean it up so it's less messy, not to hard to do. This kit will so need a wash when it's ready.....oh yes, it will reallllllyyyy need a wash.

    I may have to back this up being an X fan and liking that design.

    no it's an acrylic. 75% of the model was used with acrylic, all the trim pieces were a combination of lacquer and enamel to perform the reverse wash to get the right pattern of color for the raised details. I've never see it before it's just so odd. its almost like you can't clear coat anything when you use a combination of paints to ring out certain things of a model kit.

    gotta build on it right? he's a man of simple tastes. now it's knives....then gunpowder and finally gasoline!

    no idea what just happened. I got 2 problems, 1) I got a gater skin like cracking going on with the enamel black after I sprayed a semi gloss over the kit tonight. 2) Some reason the white boosters on the backside have become slightly pinked due to somehow red paint SOMEWHERE possibly on the clips spread onto the parts. Just a bit bummed that now this is looking really amateurish.

    Well no ones been commenting so I guess I will. Gotham has had it's fair share of hits and misses....stories like the Goat or the love triangle that's brewing for Gordon, would be some of the misses scratching my head while the 2 part story of Scarecrow was a hit imo. This week was really a mixed thing....we're given a glimpse into a new origins of the Joker, and lemme tell you, big step away from The Killing Joke. I dug it, I thought the kid playing the Joker was great. He used a hint of both Nickleson and Ledger that's a nod to them for sure.

    because dearka has to serve a purpose?

    well, I just bought the 1/48 Next Generation Ingram. I like the overall look a lot. If I dig it, I'll get the anime versions.

    thanks. Caught a couple of scratches during assembly cause I hadn't clear coated the entire kit yet. Usually I wait until I know it's done, then disassemble it into sections and spray. I seem to be missing a PC-2 for the left leg at the knee area. Either I lost it or I put it on an area of the kit that didn't need it. I'm noticing I seem to have a PC-1 still left, but I dunno where the first or second would go too....I think 1 was at the bottom of the crotch for the action base....not sure. For now I have a PC part from another kit that's finished acting as a substitute. problem is it doesn't fit to well and the leg is extremely flippity floppity.

    Well, here it is so far....

    I didn't realize this, but it would explain a lot, but Krylon unless otherwise stated is actually an enamel base paint. Interesting huh? Never knew. I'm taking a chance and I did what I could to salvage the two parts that got nailed best I could....this is where it kind of pays to be in the job I'm in....we've been messing a lot with plastics and shaping recently for a proposal project demonstration and been doing a lot of tap plastic runs. Anyways, I think I might of fixed the parts just enough to make them useable, then I resprayed the gold and clear coated the about an hour or two ago. While that was going on I took one of the other pieces with the krylon and sprayed it, let it cure for a while then went up to my room and tried my hand at the wash. It worked! It gives it an interesting brass look despite it originally being gold. I think this is due to the flat black having some kind of an affect on it. Either way I didn't have much to touch up and I think it came out rather nice. So right now the other parts have been sprayed and later tonight I'll start to clean the parts off of their excess paint and maybe I can finally assemble tomorrow!

    scrapping my Sinanju. Everything went fine until this morning and now all my work has gone to waist on 2 parts. I was doing the wrist parts and the enamel black I used clogged my Airbrush even after using thinner mix cause it's way to thick unlike Acrylic. It came out really goopy and spotty for what paint applied. So I wasn't happy and wanted to clean it off. Instead the enamel thinner I used to clean the black off ate right thru, doing damage to the clear coat I put on, the gold, the previous black and even the plastic is now partially warped. there's no way I can get replacement parts for this as there's no blue-fin logo on it. It'd be faster to buy an entire new kit for it. But broke until next month.

    I got it off with a flat head. My idea failed so I repainted for a reverse wash using Lacquer Gold, which right now is being clear coated. I was gonna do yellow but guess it just seemed to cheesy in the end. tomorrow I should be able to do the enamel gloss black. I mean in the end, even if I used a flat red and yellow they'll get glossed up with the clear coat.

    I basically finished painting my Sinanju. But now my iwata's cap won't pop open it's jammed. I dunno why either, no dings on it or anything it's just stuck after I did a round of cleaning. Either way, I had to completely repaint the red and black of my kit. I was NOT happy with the turn out after I did the next round of parts which came out rather smooth and vibrant. The difference? NO THINNER MIX RATIO! Here's the torso section after a complete repaint. That sucker looks smooth! I'm going to use an Enamel Yellow so if there's any mistakes it'll be an easy clean up with the lighter fluid and it shouldn't do any damage to the black. Luckily there's not a ton of these trim parts that need to be done.

    quick question can't remember if this was covered. The new AV-98 Ingram kit that's out based on the live action adaptation, some sites list it as a snap together, others say it's a glue together. Which is it? Depending on that I might put it in my backlog of kits.

    He'd be a good fit for the role, I can see that. Tom Cruise for Rameriz? I doubt it. He wouldn't take the role unless he was gonna get 150% of the film being about him. But I get what Lambert is saying. Why? There's no point in doing a reboot unless you're gonna make it different. Which, whatever they do, will stomp all over the original and be bad. Just the fact that they'll have characters like Rameriz and Kurgan says it right there. It'll be nothing but a modern re-hash. Also, no Queen, no good. What are ya gonna do? Have Adam Lambert in it give a weak ass styling? I hate that guy.

    I had to go through a company called Blu-Fin which I think was suggested here. But I think the only way you can use them is if their sticker is slapped on the side of your box. But I'm not 100% sure. I do know you need a picture of the kit box, your receipt and picture of the broken part, and the coresponding part # like F1-8 or D-12 etc. Usually if it's your first order it's free. But if you use their service again or the kit is beyond the 30 day warranty for free replacement they'll charge you accordingly for the part and the shipping. And shipping is a pain. I ordered a replacement part in October and didn't get it until January. It's case by case, order by order basis. Mine looked like they just took it off the mold and snipped it off the runner, put it in a baggy then in a bubbled packet and off it went. I didn't get any information until it arrived. If you don't follow their guidelines exactly they won't even bother with you. HLJ might be able to help you. OH! I found this tonight and I'm kicking myself as this would of been perfect for my sinanju

    means can be either or. it might not come straight from the normal factories or could acquire somewhere else. usually if it's gone they'll list it as discontinued.

    well I scored. I found flat, satin and gloss 4 bucks a pop. I picked up satin since that's essentially semi-gloss and gonna see how neat it is. apparently what I'd been using in the past has been enamel and explains a lot.
