captain america Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I'm digging the choice of colors, and thankfully there was no mixing required. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Capt approved! I must be doing something right! yes indeed! I despise mixing! In other news, this came today. They keep makin em and I keep buyin them! Edited August 17, 2015 by derex3592 Quote

Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 priming and sanding, sanding and priming, yaaaawn..... Looking good!! Any progress with the baby crabs? Quote
derex3592 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Not yet. Had a crazy work week last week. Quote
Xigfrid Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 One leg fitted.... Which evil's one is this leg? Quote
Kylwell Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Industria Mechanica's release of Kalamity's Briegel, hunter edition. Beast of a kit. 1/35 and HUGE. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Some progress today on the scout pod, which is ready for paint...would've been more progress had I not been out of every single color paint I wanted to paint today. Oh well. Maybe next weekend. Also in case someone missed it I am looking for a set of the thigh parts for the baby crabs which were left out of the kit by mistake and the molds have since been thrown out. I have a post over in the wanted section if any of you Mospeada guys can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. :-) Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 A painful reminder of why I stopped buying Revell kits. I should have just saved the money towards a down payment on a motorcycle. Quote
MechTech Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Looking good guys! What's bad about the kit Schizo? Revell has some good 1/144 stuff, especially the Euro ones. It might be another companies original mold? Revell Germany even has original Matchbox molds in their line.- MT Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 My research suggests this kit is a Revell original dating back to 1983. If you told me the mold was 32 years old I'd believe you. The amount of flash, scarring, and warpage is ridiculous. There are sizable bubbles in the plastic and the fit for most of the parts is dubious at best. It's even a Revell Germany kit, and the quality is this bad. But I do love me some Concorde and nobody else has made a kit for Concorde. Local hobby store had this lying around so I figured "why not". Suffice to say, I remember why I stopped buying Revell kits. When I'm finished with this thing, I'm tucking it in a corner where no one can see how much extra work I'm gonna have to put into it to make it look halfway decent. Quote
spanner Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 founds these old kits buried in storage the other day.. both are in decent shape still but I think the Messerschmitt might be missing a few parts which were used on another kit. Decal kit is way past its use by date I think. Might bin this one. haven't built a kit in a long while but I think I might give the Tomcat a go! Missing one of the pilots again I think went to another kit for what ever reason but everything else is still good. Decal sheet might still be useful.. maybe. Looks ok. Quote
Cesar Enrique Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Testing the lights on this vf-0s hasegawa, old kit. Needs some touch ups for a proper photo shoot. Quote
batcode Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 looks very nice, the lighting looks great Quote
spanner Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Testing the lights on this vf-0s hasegawa, old kit. Needs some touch ups for a proper photo shoot. cool idea Cesar! love the engine effects! Quote
Thom Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Despite the fact that I never seem to finish much, here's another build on the table... The Colonial Battleship Zeus. The backbone of the Colonial Fleet at the outbreak of the Cylon War, they stood against the relentless tide of Cylon ships until the Raiders appeared in heavy numbers. Without fighter protection of their own, the Atlas class battleships suffered greatly - until the refit. Later ships than the Zeus had their hulls lengthened and flight bays fitted to either side, creating what would be the epitome of Colonial fleet technology for decades to come - the battlestar... So, here's the WIP of the father of the battlestar. Quote
spanner Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 is that ship a scratch build? Looks fantastic! Loved BSG! both the original and the remake! Quote
Galaxy_Stranger Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Testing the lights on this vf-0s hasegawa, old kit. Needs some touch ups for a proper photo shoot. How did you set that up? Is there a switch or do you plug it into a wall? Quote
Jefuemon Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 ~I'm all about that base, 'bout that base~ Didn't do any building during August, but for a good reason. Parents were here for most of the month, and hadn't seen them in about 5 years. These should go fast, hopefully have everything done by the end of the month. Then no more group builds!!!! Quote
derex3592 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 what is that Jefuemon? It looks cool! Quote
Kicker773 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 They are the bases for the Macross model kits Quote
Jefuemon Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 what is that Jefuemon? It looks cool! They are the bases for the Macross model kits Yes. Those are the launch bases for the 1/144 scale Digital Mission kits. Going to do them in 2 batches of 3. Quote
Thom Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Those bases look great - and intricate! And no, not scratch built. It's the Moebius kit. I just made it shorter, narrowed the head and am putting armor and shuttle bays onto the sides. Quote
Cesar Enrique Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 How did you set that up? Is there a switch or do you plug it into a wall? They are micro leds, I make my own sockets to receive watch batteries and added 3 mini switches hidden in the fuselage. I will upload pictures soon. Quote
Urashiman Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 Holy ... I've been building this one like 3 times and everytime it ended up really bad, followed by a nice flight into the trashcan or having fun with fireworks A painful reminder of why I stopped buying Revell kits. I should have just saved the money towards a down payment on a motorcycle. Quote
Mintox Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 I have no idea where to post this so any admins please forgive me if this isnt appropiate but... my VF-1S Super Valkyrie won 1st place in the local WASMEX model competition. Link is here (the photo wasnt taken by me so its not the prettiest) : https://www.facebook.com/110571395688465/photos/ms.c.eJxFkluOxTAIQ3c04hUC~_9~;YtObiqj~;RkY1NUnU59XxiZRnSf~;oDZ0AsSCi8qXjO0S5pBAVw7oJqWK4s6LH4Wlo89fRjXGCT4gRqAHEJJkUIXKGwWhBvinUxxWMUh6BHkQuOokfogmsAttWfIyzpBAlw2LQEIJhS9cba5dCaYmGfAsC5S48lf5YUQY~;noggSYKun6BRTX2ABIJxho5BPgXcx51AfYB~_4r6WqFgTexbQXHGxb9yxIPIM2LfPDaH8WbFt5qahRsGnNcsLlemYkZ8yNld9~;FHKNrQ~-~-.bps.a.1305858426159750.1073741833.110571395688465/1305860129492913/?type=1&theater Quote
Thom Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Man, nice work on that VF!! The win was well deserved! Quote
Xigfrid Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 In general when I work with big pieces in WSF plastic from Shapeways, I really don't like to work on them: WSF is such a tough material that the sand paper get used way before the plastic has aquired the desired shape. BUT sometimes when I work with smaller pieces, WSF is so fun to work and scult ! Just a cutter and get the details to popup, get rid of a small chip there and there. Having fun with RC cars and my latest project in WSF, still preparing for painting, these will be slow. Quote
MechTech Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Cool applications Xigfrid! Congrats Mintox! Glad to see somebody representing Macross in the community! Looks like you had some good competition too. - MT Quote
