Poor Toynami - coming out just in time to get lam-basted by Bandai on the same scale . . . http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TOY10632&mode=retail

Yep - GREAT post. If you're a brush-painting enthusiast you can brush on Tamiya acrylic primer as well - correct? After painting, I use a soft brush to shade the colors with a weathering kit (powders) . . .

Looks like a piece of garbage to me. Not saying that to be nasty, I mean it LITERALLY looks like a piece of space garbage in orbit. Maybe it's a camo mode . . .

What is that last picture supposed to be?

Amazing. What was his cost for this kit?

Great pics - great work...

Spider-Man: Homecoming, in theaters July 7, 2017
DarrinG replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Never saw any of the LAST Spider-man reboot. To me, Toby Maguire IS Spiderman. Next you'll be telling me Ben Afflack (quack) is going to be Batman . . . -
My gut says we'll see the Olson special to milk the mold, and then the two M. Lovers - and that's it. Can't see them going all the way to Nickick and beyond. Well, maybe Nickick too. Hope they do a 1/48th Legioss next, with this kind of quality. The BOX! You're going to love the box . . .

Or in this case - just SAP : /

You'll really like it G. Except for some messy paint on some metal parts it's really an A effort...

Yes, different sizes, and all Regult pilots would have to be about as tall as a VFs lower leg to squeeze in. I guess the animators wanted some creative freedom to make things more scary. After all -- jumping up and down like a little kid just to see in the canopy glass isn't nearly the menacingly affect as standing high over a VF-1D GERWALK cockpit ready to strike down . . . ( you of all folks should be familiar with that scene : O )
-
Making a Regult pilot work inside the cockpit would give away the anime magic: That in reality, he would be no taller than a VF-1's knee cap . . .

It does help - thx. Some of the ball joint systems I have worked with, the socket will unexpectedly crack - and need replaced. Which would be painful if its already been mounted in and painted like you've done . . .
-
The eye looks great that way. I will not be doing LEDs in mine so maybe I will try the same as you. If you have time, please post some more detail about which joints you switched for ball joints . . .
-
LOVE this. The 'panel lined' look is amazing. Its hard to tell whether is was brush or airbrush painted - looks like the best of both techniques. I can see the ball-joint added to the back heels - nice. Why did you decide to use a piece of sprue for the eye instead of the one included? Color?

Yike - little too small for 10,000 yen. Something closer to 1/48th scale and I would have picked it up...
-
OK - thx
-
GREAT work on the Su-7. I don't care for the Hannibal version that much, I like the original Atlas design much better. And 1/72 seems a little small for that mech. I AM still looking for a few of the old 1/48th Kaiyodo resin kits tho, like the Type Zero and Phantom . . .
-
Looks good to me. Cheaper than the main release, and coming with the special tubing parts . . .
-
Does anyone have any idea on how big this old resin kit stands? I really like the sculpt . . .
-
Can someone offer more info on this? I've always liked the O - and this seems like a good price, with extras. It uses the same box art as the Bandai release though - is it a knockoff? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MG-PMX-003-The-O-1-100-model-kit-BY-DABAN-MODEL-Metal-Detail-Up-energy-pipes-/321588403132?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ae0299bbc

Just picked up 2 of these with all the add-ons. B E A U T I F U L !! Very fast shipping too. These are MORE than worth it - and that is a great discount. Get them . . .
-
I already made a background for it . . .

So let me get this straight -- You can get an all plastic RS version for $125 --- http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN16399&mode=retail OR A half die-cast version with awesome packaging for $115 --- http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bandai-Chogokin-Spec-XS-11-XFMA-09-Draguna-Falguen-JP-/351375603726?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51cf9e380e ?? The SPEC version is an AMAZING piece. Not sure what appeal the RS has other than for completists . . .
