That AT-AT kit by MPC comes with turrets and Snowspeeders. Those Snowspeeders are supposed to be in-scale with the AT-AT, and IIRC those Snowspeeders are kinda close in size to the 1:144 Snowspeeders by Bandai. The thing about AT-ATs is that since it's a movie, the scale can be whatever. The...

I have no idea about Green Stuff paints, but Alclad Aqua Gloss is specifically made to be applied over their chrome lacquer paint. Sometimes you do need to clear coat a chrome surface, for decals and such. I dislike those metal colors by Mr. Color. They're gross because they just keep coming...

Yeah, but Tamiya acrylics just smell so delicious. I don't know what it is about that smell, but it has a slightly sweet smell. At least that's how I interpret it. I personally don't care for Tamiya acrylics. The range of colors is rather limited, mostly to Tamiya products. It's great if...

I think it was on Pinterest where I found a fantastic build of this kit with Han, Luke, and the gang in the cockpit. It looked fantastic, including lights on R2's head. However essentially the cockpit we see in ROTJ is similar in size to the Millennium Falcon and the scale of this kit has the...

This incident happened in November and was in the news for a while. https://mustsharenews.com/online-seller-scammed-returned/ Mercari is an online flea market that's pretty cool. However a dishonest buyer who bought a Tamiya tank model demanded a refund and he returned an entirely different...

Alright lads, over the weekend I took my Wave metal cutters and shortened that landing gear by several millimeters. Since it's pewter, it was soft enough to cut, file down, and drill holes into the parts. I used my pinvise to drill a 1mm hole into the middle, then CA glued a brass rod to connect...

The landing gear is pewter, so I could probably cut its length a bit easily enough. I'll give it a shot. The way it plugs in makes it obvious as to the angle it sits in. If I can adjust this, I think it will look better.

Are you sure? Shouldn't the fuselage be level with the ground, instead of the nose up in the air like that? I was afraid that it might be back heavy before the final assembly, but that isn't the case. Instead, the nose gear seems to be a bit too tall.

So... I guess I'm done? What do you think? Is the front landing gear standing too tall?

That looks fantastic! Good job, Blake! I need to finish my Y-Wing. I'm getting distracted with other modeling projects...

That is so cool!

Although it is in Japanese, you will see a section of the instructions with a list of parts with corresponding prices. It will also have an address to send requests to.

Thanks for the offer. I've no idea if the proportions are the same. I'm gonna use Vallejo acrylic putty and see how it goes. I love that stuff since it doesn't disturb the paint job. It can be easily wiped away with water. I can hand-paint the Mr. Color gray paint that very closely matches the...

I've attached the canopy. As you can see, there are gaps. I really wish this part was resin instead of having to cut away a bunch of excess vinyl. Now I need to somehow putty this in.

Here's my update. I've finished fashioning all of the piping. I'll need to do some detail painting inside the cockpit, then attach the canopy. After that, all I will need to do is attach the nacelle pylons and I'll be done, I suppose. This is gonna be a filthy Y-Wing. I tend to overdo the...
