This is post is over 10 years old, taken at my old apartment at the time, but these are the only pictures I have at the moment. It's more than doubled since then for sure. God, help me...

Yeah, F-104s have super tiny wings. They're nearly just flying tubes and it's a mystery how they can stay in the air. I saw one in-person at the JASDF AIr Museum in Hamamatsu about 9 years ago and got to sit in the cockpit. They don't even stand very high off the ground either, really. I have...

Well, I dunno what to say. I have the F-104G kit by Hasegawa and I do not see any injector pin marks on the wings. Unless the F-104C has different toolings for the wings, I don't know what to say. So you have a Kinetic 104, but you attached Hasegawa 104 wings to it?

This thread has motivated me to I post some images on my blog of some modeling workbenches of people in Japan and how they overcome the more confining areas due to limited space. (No account or login required to leave a like.) I saved these images from Pinterest...

I use Tamiya's light curing putty to fill in injector pin holes. Edbert, is that the 1:48 or 1:72 F-104 by Hasegawa? I have both. I'll have to take a look at them when I get home this evening. That is a pretty lousy way to go, with those on the outside. Not typical of Hasegawa, from my...

Well, golly. I don't have any photos of my nerd cave's workbench because it's just a jibungous mess at the moment, but I do have some videos from 2022. The first one is of my model stash. Next is of my workbench, supplies, etc. So this modeling/gaming/computer room is where I spend my free...

"Suddenly, Worf has a purple space bazooka!"

Thanks for the info! Yeah, it's so cool. Finally a Starship Enterprise that looks like you could poke someone's eye out with. Unfortunately, all the movies it was featured in sucked. Yeah, I think even First Contact sucked. I'll stand my ground on that opinion.

That subterranean crap weasel hasn't responded at all, so he's gonna contact PayPal tomorrow. This crap really sucks.

Etsy is now saying that the shop is now unavailable. I told my friend that he may as well tell the guy that he'll file a dispute on PayPal. If that doesn't motivate him, nothing will.

So my friend heard back from the decal guy on Etsy. He said he was in the hospital dealing with a stint. ORLY? Does that sound familiar? But right after he heard from him, he got a notice that the decals have shipped.

I finally took a final photoset of my Y-Wing build and updated my thread of it here.

I finally got around to doing a final photoset of this build. Here it is on my Tumblr feed.

I can usually have luck soaking parts in Coca-Cola. It's slower, but gentler than using bleach. Hasegawa makes a chrome stripper liquid, but that's probably not easy to come by outside of Japan.

You're welcome! I wish I could remember the name of the place, but it's a national retailer. I haven't lived in America for over 13 years. Office Max? Office Depot? Something like that. I live in Japan and I use Fine Molds laser decal film. It's so nice and thin, slides right off of the backing...

Yes, I think you are lucky. This "Oh I was hospitalized because I had my appendix removed...AGAIN" or "Sorry I've had a lot of bad things in life happening and I'm full of the sadnesses because my mom died AGAIN" or "Look, I've gotta go. My brother got his arm caught in the microwave and my...
