    Looking fantastic, is this for the Toynami Alphas or for the old GAKKEN Legioss? Now, we need to see some hands.

    What series is this from? I like the design & color scheme a lot.

    Well, at least my Maia Alpha fighter isn't alone anymore. I wanted to see if I could match the paint used on the MPC with my Poseable Alpha... sadly it worked until it didn't. I had initially nailed the colors, that purplish/lavender color is Purple, Rose pink, a dash of red and some midnight blue all mixed up. The daker shade is Navy blue, black and a dash of purple. Everything looked great until I applied some clear-coat, I knew it might darken things a bit, but that purple is darker than I wanted it to be... #%$@! In the end, this old Alpha Poseable served as a test bed for A) could I match the colors, B) could I make the air-intakes look like a Shadow type and C) is this worth trying again on a Beta or another poseable Alpha. The answer is yes, only next time with an airbrush, properly made decals, Tamiya/Mr. Hobby paints and something other than clear-coat or just be really careful next time in the future. @nightmareB4macross That custom VF-1S keeps getting more impressive with each new addition.

    To be honest, just the intro alone is quite creepy & eerie, between the music & visuals.

    Last Sunday's episode was by far the best so far. Everything is starting to come together, the Native Americans, showing how Pennywise arrived on Earth and why he can't leave Derry was told very well. I'm ready for the next episode. That bathroom scene... Yikes!!!

    Those look great, if only they were the Expeditionary Force type like the ones used by Maia's Alpha/Legioss.

    I forgot I had a spare Metallic version of the Poseable Alphas (Not a fan of the Metallics), so it's time for a new paint job. Just like the MPC Betas, disassembly is super easy, barely an inconvenience. I stripped the old paint off, then primer, next step is some more ultra fine sanding before painting. Just curious, does anyone here still make custom decals?

    Looking good, what scale are these?

    I lost interest in this show by the end of episode 2 and really had no desire to watch the rest. It sounds like I didn't miss out on much.

    If anyone wants to grab a VF-31A cheap, 25,000 yen from the SAHRA store. Bandai DX Chogokin VF-31A Kairos General Type | Mandarake Online Shop
  11. 505thAirborne
    Yes.
  12. 505thAirborne
    So, is this another TWE for the 31A or a standard release?

    Just watched A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE. Overall, a good film, minus the ending. The ending gave me the following reaction:

    I prefer forums, especially this one. I've never met any of you in person but oddly enough, just about all of you feel like people I'd hang out with. Social media like FB was kind of cool in the beginning, now it's just a black hole of weirdos, bots, AI trolls doing their best to stir up anger & political division no matter what you post. I used FB for years for my Helmet business but deleted the entire account a few years ago, the SPAM and troll/bot accounts became more that I wanted to deal with. Twitter (not calling it the current name) was a dumpster fire by 2020, I can't imagine what it's like now. Instagram is decent but I pretty much avoid that one too. This forum and a few others have felt like a home away from home for years now, a major thank you to @Shawn for keeping MW alive & well. In the end this Forum rules, we're all a bunch of Macross, Anime, Sci-Fi, fantasy, toy collecting, model building, art loving fans, dorks, nerds and some cool kids mixed together. I'll take this every day over a social media site with billions of strangers and bots. Stay classy everyone!!

    Watched episode 1 of Welcome to Derry... so far, it's ok. Some shocking & creepy scenes but the creature that may or may not be Pennywise was a mood killer, felt out of place and not what I was hoping for. That said, I'm ready for episode 2.

    We all need a good laugh once and a while. Good job SNL!

    When I was a little kid, early 80's, there was a picture of KISS on the back of a SHOGUN WARRIORS comic my brother had, their faces in full makeup used to scare me then. Of course, later on as a teen working in retail (1994) with guys in their 30's, I was properly introduced into Pink Floyd, U2, Zepplin, Beastie Boys, RUSH & KISS. KISS has some amazing songs and a stage presence that dominated. RIP ACE.

    Hi all. just wondering if these parts can be 3D printed. I recently got super lucky with an Aoshima Legioss & Tread set. Sadly, the plastic on the Tread (oddly not the Legioss) has not held up over time or the factory plastic was a bad batch. Either way, these parts are for the back of the legs and used for Bomber mode. Both literally shattered with minimal pressure applied, they are glued back together for now. Crazy how my TOYNAMI Beta's have, fingers crossed, not had this issue. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Damn good show. 4 episodes in and enjoying it a lot!

    @xwing The "Beast" looks great, it's a good day to be a Mospeada fan right now! Also, the STAR WARS ROOM sign is a great touch. That stairway in your house is giving me flashbacks of a place I rented back in Reseda, CA years ago. @Mog The Red Tread is underrated, and more pictures are always welcomed!

    I've never read the Stephen King novel, does this RUNNING MAN trailer appear more accurate to the book? In the original film everything appears to be solved in a few hours, not being on the run for 30 days.

    Newly acquired Aoshima Legioss & Tread. Just a quick pic. @jenius Your YouTube & Anymoon reviews are spot on for the Aoshima version, I've only had the Toynami's prior and while this toy has its own QC issues, this Legioss is wielding two guns, arms up, legs locked in place because of the ratchet joints and hands that actually grip. I am thinking of either a Low Vis Navy custom or Maia's Alpha/Beta combo. RT Shadow Chronicles was a dud, but her color scheme was awesome IMO. However, finding her decals or stickers would probably require customs to be made.
