Tonight I airbrushed Model Master Acryl Camouflage Gray and did a gloss coat of Mr. Hobby Aqueous Clear. I removed the masking and did some touch-up painting with a brush. I need to find my big blacklights. This is just a flashlight. The sexy flesh-colored parts behind it are my Nadia figures...

Over the New Year's holiday while staying at the in-laws' place, I got started on this snap fit Enterprise E. We've got our own room at that house and I have my own hobby work table with some basic tools and supplies to work on models while we're staying there. This kit needed some sanding and...

My friend from Arizona flew to Japan and arrived Sunday morning. We spent the day together, hitting up the nerd shops together. From HDA Modelworx, I bought the Paragrafix photoetch set for the 537 Refit, the Paragrafix photoetch and Green Strawberry photoetch flux chillers for the 537 Reliant...

I've already attached the pylons to the nacelles. Plus I don't live in America and I'm not sure what sort of equivalents to Purple Power or WD-40 are. If I was to go the chemical route, I could try using Zippo lighter fluid since that works very well at removing difficult price tags and stickers...

For my Reliant, I have the official AMT aztec decal set. For the Refit, I have the HDA Modelworx aztec decals. I am planning to get HDA's aztec decals for the E as well. Several years ago, I was working on the 1:1000 Refit by PL and had some decal screw ups. Some of the decals on one pylon...

If you can get a hold of it, Creos/Mr. Hobby has a series of acrylic gouache weathering paints and a special solvent for it. I don't have any of the paints, but I use the solvent with Turner Acrylic Gouache paints I can find easily at stationery stores here in Japan. I recently used it for panel...

Yeah, I was implying that these are all the larger-sized kits. Currently I'm doing the 2500 E, but I was asking about the 1400 E in regards to the 1400 C & D, 537 Reliant & Refit. I have Tenacontrols lighting chips to do the E or the other ships. I think the Refit will require the most amount of...

I'm not very big on Gundam models and in fact I've downsized much of the Gunpla I know I'd never get around to building, but the Zetaplus is pretty cool. I like these old Gundam Sentinel kits. R2-D2 sofubi by Kaiyodo My friend gave me this old legacy Macross kit. It comes with a 1:144 scale...

Well, I just have to ask. Was it indeed a NICE PRICE?

Hey, I know this is an old thread I'm resurrecting, but I am late to the party. I had seen some of the posts back when you were updating this, but yesterday I went through the whole build process on here because I have this kit and am interested to start working on it sometime soon. You did a...

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...
