    Ok, some work on the Enterprises. Pepper your angus, this is going to be a *itchfest and a total hate-build. Great place for an injection pin, thanks. I'm wondering why they decided a seam was needed right down the edges of the pylons. Or the secondary hull needed 4 seam lines in a very inconvenient place to fill and sand. Or have a seam in a really hard to reach part of the ship. Folks, the USS Puttyprise. It was nice they gave us so many options, but the numbering and instructions were a bit confusing. One of the nacelles needed super human strength to close. Snap fit my muscular buttocks. I haven't used this much hardware since the 537 Refit. More putty I wasn't even going to bother building the Botany Bay (Kirk should have torpedoed the thing), but decided may as well dig it out while I watch the putty cure. Meanwhile I'd been so spoiled by my airbrush, I'd forgotten how thick rattle can paint goes on.... Ended up with some paint drips. Back to the Puttyprise and seam lines I can't unsee. More putty after the primer. And back to the NX. Tamiya Flat aluminum with some opacity on top of Tamiya white primer comes out like pearl. I'll have to remember this when I build another Refit. More sanding. Back to the NX.... Some detail painting. Not lighting it but it would look good lit. I'm not filling anymore. I know the seam line is there, but I'm choosing to ignore it, lol! OK, back to the NX.... This is going to be another lazy build... Almost no sanding or filling. I'm hoping my sins will be hidden behind wallpaper Aztec decals, hahahahaha!

    Transformers!!! I love G1 but the new Netflix series is falling a bit short for me. I finally got around to building the little Yunagi that came with the 1/1000 Yamato (not the one in the photo). One of the laziest builds I've ever done. I forgot where the instructions were but didn't have a lot of problems figuring out how it should go together. I didn't primer or paint this thing apart from the white bits, and that was just Tamiya white primer. After that, I just hosed it down with Tamiya Clear from a rattle can, threw the decals on, a bit of Tamiya Panel Line and then Tamiya Flat Clear. Probably the quickest and laziest builds I've done recently, and it didn't come out looking like a potato. Also, it might be the only Yamato series model I have that has anything close to anime correct colors. Still irks me that it doesn't really scale with any of my Yamato models. The Botany Bay is the side ship that reminded me I even had the Yunagi. This is just after the gloss, decals and panel lines.

    Did the voice acting improve or did you just get used to them? 😁

    Those are cool...I love mechs with katana like weapons.

    It feels like it's been forever since I built anything, but at least I have these two on the work bench. My sciatica has been bugging me so I can't sit for long periods of time. Picked this up at Michael's for $23 with the 30% off coupon. The last TOS I built was only 1/2500 scale and it was already packed with more detail than I knew there was on the ship (always just looked like a gray blob to me on the show). Got this as a freebie for buying something else that was really big and really dumb, and definitely beyond my abilities to do justice (any guesses? Lol!). Will post pics of that later

    I keep saying this is awesome, but I don't know what it's from, Hahaha! It's not Gundam is it?

    @Return To Kit Form I love it when builders throw in a story.... It's like 3D fanfiction. I got a bit carried away once though and it almost turned into a novel.

    Me too. I thought I was going to get NY'd by them, started reading some really horrible reviews, and I was peppering my angus for the worst..... Then yesterday I got notification that it shipped.

    Would have been an interesting cross-over/plot twist.....the kids of stranger things turned out to be the children of the original GB, lol!

    How's everyone's experience with My Kombini? They said it would be available 25Jul21, it's now 27Jul21. I paid the balance owning (for shipping) on the 23rd. I know, it's only been two days......just that I got *ucked by NY, so I'm a bit nervous about pre-orders.
  14. peter
    Lol, I had a feeling it was one of the originals. Nice touch.

    I love the custom Texas decal on there. Subtle enough that it still looks like Star Trek, but when you see it, you think "that's *ucking awesome"

    Ok, I'm really itching to build my 1/48 now.....

    Those are really cool mechs....the gun barrels and brakes...wow. As a gun nut, I have to say they look incredibly real. They even look worn!!!!

    I swear to God MechTech, you can make anything.

    Couldn't possibly be worse than the 2016 version. Who answered the red phone?

    Lol, good to know. I was excited at the thought of seeing GT-Rs on the big screen, but when I saw the neon lights, the NOS and the attitude, it was a big WTF moment. There's more value watching un-subtitled Best Motoring or Options videos.
  21. peter
    WTF, are you serious? Lol, that is brutal. Might skip this one then, doesn't sound like something I want to watch. The Netflix "Gen 1" TF series also turned into a steaming pile of excrement. Getting bored with TV.
  22. peter
    Found it, lol!

    I've seen scalpers defended....even here. I can't say I agree with that sentiment. Watched a youtube vid on a Japanese fan trying to order something on pre-order night....forgot what it was, definitely Macross related. He managed to score one, but he said he wished scalpers would die, lol!

    This post will probably be unpopular, but here it goes. I consider myself a car nut, (or at least I was in my younger days). Was big into car culture back in the late 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, went to more than a few Tokyo Auto Salons, owned two NSXs, drove my fair share of GT-Rs, Supras, RX-7s, 300ZXs, GTOs....and I have never watched a single one of these movies in it's entirety. I got about 15 - 20 minutes of the first one then binned it. Car culture wasn't anything like that where I grew up (Canada), and it certainly wasn't even close to that in Japan. I don't know if the subsequent films got better, but I thought the first one was garbage.
