harlock movie looks spiffy

It does look good, and I like the tie ins to SBY with the type 99 space pistol in the scenes there, same type of pistol from Space Battleship Yamato. And I saw what you did there, SBY-2199 is plastered all over Japan, hard to miss one of the biggest shows in Japan with all the advertising the re-invisioning of that show has had, and I think we may see more with the new Harlock movie. Just placed an order a few hours ago for the Yamato itself in 1/1000 scale, if will be 33.3cm long when built.

I have to hand it to Bandai, they made the build of these models such that they are strongly built almost liek real ships with all the "bulkheads" that are part of the kits as compared to the old kits of the 1980's which were simpler, hollow shells and easy to break apart, just the small bits can break off, but the majority of these kits will take a pounding during a move far better than older kits.

Stop pounding your ships.. even more ships?! 33 cm long... wow.. epic.

I'm totally not following your blog any longer. My wife threatened me with divorce if I were to buy the Yamato fleet and you with those gorgeous ships are not helping .

M.

Largest ships in my present fleet are 35cm, 38cm and 39cm, Yamato is the 33cm beast.

@Comrade, not looking to hurt my ships, just glad that when a move comes up, they can handle it.

@Miguelsan, Is hard to fight temptations like this!

I have added paint to end the over shiny effect of the colored plastic

I actually have a place to dock the ships once they are done and still look at them too. New shelf unit for the models!

I am arguing with myself internally as to leave the AT-43 walkers as is, and explain the different pattern of camo, or just do my own camo and decal them as the other units have been, and maintain unity of theme?

Leave them as is for now, they are the remnants of a destroyed guard army that have recently been combined into your platoons. The camouflage they have will get repainted to match yours, the request paperwork is just tied up in imperial red tape.

So, there is a vote for the leaving 'em be for the time being, they are in winter camo, WW-II Russian style 2 color, Olive and white, and an Oxide red-olive color,

Thanks Cam, the next part will be painting it and the other big carrier, I did find out the tri-decker is for early 2014 release, so I just have to wait till next year for the ability to make a green/blue/lavender colored carriers, as the green one launcehed interceptors, the blue one launched torpedo bombers, and the lavender one had the space stukas. LOL!

My source still has just episode 1-22 and has yet to get 23-26, I want to see it all so much! Yamato itself in the 1/1000 scale arrived earlier so i have that but they were sold out of Type 52 cosmo zero for Yamamoto's fighter, I got Kodai's Type 52, and Kato and Shinohara's type 99 fighters

The space stukas look great, and the carrier is interesting, not sold on how the decks stack, but maybe with the paint on it might change my mind.

Odd thing is, they really did have multiple decked version of real carrier5s in the 1930's look it up on wikipedia, apparently they did try it, then went for the mono deck any way.


So, here is the other carrier, the Polmeria, but I call it "star-fish" it has the big cannon in the center. the clear yellow plastic needed a few coats of white paint behind it.

The capital ships are 1/1000 scale, and the littlest fighters are the same scale, the larger wing fighter is more like 1/144 or so scale. The 1/144 scale planes come with capital ship[ models,. so far the fighters for Yamato itseld are 1/1000 and 1/72 scale kits.

As the father of three, one of which is an aspiring midget, I feel it necessary to tell you size doesn't matter.

hey mate... i just wanted to say hello after a long (in my view too long) hiatus...

and that i am eager to see some heroic scaled models done by you...all these starships...tstststs
the last ones i don´t even pretend to understand... they look way more alien to me that is good for my health

cheers, vik

I'm liking the "flying wing" shaped fighter. Look forward to more.

@Theo: Size matters when placing things on a display shelf!

@Vik: no worries, once I am done painting the carriers, I have a lot of Amexadian soldiers to paint, great coat heavy weapons to build and paint, a company of Kruegerian elites to build and paint and their titan as well.

@Dr.H; It is a homage to the old German planes, DWG-229 LOL! Ho-229?? The space stuka is easily also likely to replace the DBG with Ju for the 87, all the Gamillon planes are using German WW-II numbers with different letters in front

Ahh, I didn't really look at your numbering of it closely and I didn't know the designation of the German flying wing so it didn't ring any bells anyway. It's always been the flying wing to me...

The space-stuka also looks cool, as did what that is obviously a homage to.

My October set to get once it is fully released

Thanks Vik! I also got my paint drop today, 54 colors and they even sent me a plastic caddy box for it!

....

er....wow mate... you are sure rolling the dice now...one of these days i need to invest in dropper bottles instead of pots... really... that is the future...

the GW pots are 12ml for 4bucks USD, these are 17ml for less than that, so more paint for less money, a little less, but still, less money for more paint that will last me longer. I can now toss the GW colors that have gone clumpy and will not water down any longer.

i think you will do great out of this new paint range... blending will be so much easier... out of pot painters like me never really get donw that lane so good and easy...

and well... of course almost any range is cheaper and more inteligent than that of GW...but that goes without saying

These will be used well for the Kruegerians and the Leviathan and the other models I have to work on.

Envious of the paint set for sure. I'm not sold on the droppers as I always squirt out more than I'm going to use.....that just sounds wrong for some reason .

and you just got back from church theo naughty now go drink a bloody mary and say hallelujah (kidding of course)

never tried dropper bottles but i think i would use too much too fast as well.

You weren't one of those guys who lowered Uranium rods into tanks wearing short sleeves and hairnets were you?

The dropper bottles allow me ot do one or more drops on the pallet, add water to the brush and see how thin or thick coat I want to apply, much more control of the paint than GW pots where you dip the brush, an have to worry about over dipping, and then wiping excess off on the lip of the pot, which may dry and not regain liquid status, etc.

Another advantage is the pinhole opening which helps keep the paint from drying out. I got one from 2009 as a sample from my old Oregon FLGS which still is liquid, and the older paints Dave sent with the plastic emergency drop he maileed me and I have no idea how long he had the paints but they too are still viable whereas the GW paints seem to harden up in a short time if you do not use them fast enough, worse if partly used. :(

And for 3.29 a bottle of 17ml compared to 4.00 a 12ml bottle of paint from GW one comes out ahead buying these dropper bottles if you are doing the hand brush methods like me, the HD series can be used in airbrushes they say,

Neat new paint range. Yes the good old bottle dilemma. If GW paints came in dropper bottles I wonder how the argument would change. I pour mine (GW) into empty dropper bottles. I could just switch ranges, but i already have 80%~ of gw's its cheaper to just replace what I run out of.

Well with new paints, I expect new painted models.

Droppers are the way to go, I'll never buy a GW paint again myself.

I paint from the pots
I also lick my brushes which caused me to glue a brush to my tongue a few weeks ago
I really need to change that habit.

ach... fond times... i still recall that

I found their Pheonix red dries as close to the color of the plastic of the red carrier to be a more perfect match than wazdakka red, I find this as awesome sauce!

I quit licking my brushes, but I still use my lips to form them

Technically it was while trying a new riveting method, so I took one for the league .

For all the years o messing around with my little plastic guys I'm still quite the newb, and do lots of stupid things.

Glad I am not the only one.

First pilot that forgets to fold his wings is going to be in big trouble

Those are some badass ships Shaso! Love the Carrier especially.

@Vik: I decided that paint would be vbrighter than the grey decals that came with the carrier kit. That flying saucer is actually the detached bridge for this beasty;
73cm of superdreadnought class warship.

@Theo: Got that right! as you can see there is a central elevator and 2 side elevators for the carrier.

@Dave: Thank you Dave! that ios so far the longest of the ships I have collected, the starfish of doom carrier is 383mm to the red 390mm total length.

Sad that AT-43 is OOP due to Rackham not staying alive, or selling the IP to an active company, so more for the Khadrovian Highland Tundra camo pattern have arrived.

Hard to believe that they each are spawned by the same plastic model maker, the Great coats are purely WGF, and the others are also made by WGF for DFG and the differences in design do show through like night versus day

THe difference is all in the design. Mark from DFG is a designer, the other guys make models for war games. Just like the Leviathans, Mark designs and engineers the pieces to be functional (even though they are scifi). Where the other guys make guns with barrels, ammo hoppers and a stand, mark looks into recoil and how the crew will need to be deployed to design the weapon system. Not sure how much technology goes into marks work, but It looks so much more functional.

Nice dump.
Lots of nice walkers.
I thought, when you talked about them before, that the AT-43 things were for Dust. Now I see the boxes, they are different companies.

Well, Mark has won me over! I will buy his "Protectorate" troops when eh gets to making them. The designs so fit my Konfederacy and will be the latest of Khadrovian gov't design protective uniforms and weapons.
The Cadian/Tau influenced uniforms will be older units, but new uniforms will be the platoons of the Protectorate style ashanka helms and masks

They were kind of competing, and the release of the Dust stuff made Rackham change th game from Alternate Timeline 1943 to After Trauma 43 and out in space setting where the descendants of space colonists became the UNA, Red Blok and ONI, the Therians were what became of the folks who remained on and developed on old Earth and came seeking out to make the big change to all life in space. Dust stayed firmly in Weird War-II and beyond.

Yeah, Dust is historical, with the addition of the alien element that gives unlimited energy to diesel tech.

Either way, I like how well the other models fit into my scheme and planned forces. Man I may have a parade that stretched out in units and vehicles will take the length of the house to do it justice, I may just have to borrow a game table and terrain at he store in Princeton and just snap units after posing them on it, put them back and pose the next units/vehicles.

Keep paint off this keyboard eh? it's not a pallete

As carefully as I could, I brushed around the stars.

Yes, some cleanup is needed, but hey, same deal with Forgeworld and they charge a LOT and do nothing to clean their models before sales, I miss Old Crow for making affordable resin models and eh actually took pride and cleaned the parts before shipping them.

That is the plan, clean keyboard , avoid glu and paint on this one.

well the group shot is up plus a surprise on my end of the world i think you might be pleased by this...

paint on keyboard means your busy at hobby time the glue i can under stand i keep that stuff far far away from my keyboard

First Earth Fighter kit built in 1/72 scale, engine vents are mobile, and the kit is sleek, decals will be a pain as they need to have the shark mouth cut to fit the vanes up front as you will see.

AMX-40 I played in WoT as with the Char B1 Bis, I turned one into a Malcador Defender

AMX 40 is a gakky tank in that game imo and yeah i totally forgot that..

Bandai proves plastic can be highly detailed and superior to resin, shame GW can't figure that out so easily, and also affordable, the 40dollar ship sets work the cost per ship down some.

So, I got the striders/walkers from Poland and they are rather nice, with a big looking head at that. I have added pilots to the AT-43 walkers with cockpits that can be opened, I suspect the glued shut ones have no seat to put the pilots on. So, no pilots to show in Dotch Yaga, Kossack, or Hussar walkers

So, now the casnnonade armed sierp or soon to be renamed with BT-, A- and or KV- as the Dotch is big enough for the KV- prefix!

Yeah dude, you need better lighting. I'd suggest a daylight flourescent tube and at minimum an OTT lamp (wait for a 50% off coupon from Michaels to get a deal)- I got mine on clearance (previous years model)

It looks like you need somewhere between 5 and 20% light grey in the bluer paint (fang) to match the lighter one. If that's what you are trying to achieve...

Nice haul of not-FO minis.

I added a darker gray and got a closer approximation to shadow gray, now adding the green to all presently shadowed minis, and will also work on alternate bits of the Dust models, I also got started on the 3 platoon command squads for the Amexadians company I got from Defiance (My UAMC minis).

Then, I shall add the black squigglies to all of them!

Paints looking good.

Great haul of mini's. Love them. See several I could definately use. Really love the Servator! classic.

Any tanks with 6 Bren machine guns is not one to laugh at , but that comes close.

That's my only problem with Brother Vinni's Protectrons, is the extremely fragile hand parts- I see yours already broke too.

The Russian NI tanks saw actual military action, they were also tractors with attitude added, but were more scare and ruse tanks than actual battle tanks.

dsteingass wrote:That's my only problem with Brother Vinni's Protectrons, is the extremely fragile hand parts- I see yours already broke too.

Nah, the hands I got are pincher like claws, he did not go this time with the 3 fingered models, the ammo feed for one of the police bots snapped, but was easy to fix \. I was surprised the hands of the protectron were simpler 2 vise claws and not the ball with three fingers, maybe he redesigned after some complaints?

Mine had 2 pincer claws too, but one always breaks off. I of course lost them and tried to remake them from styrene, but with such a fiddly bit, it didn't have much of a chance of sticking.

Huh! so small, I had not realized it snapped when I moved him with the other bots! I will have to make other hand /claw arrangements

maybe make the claws from staples? or paper-clips?

what a splendid suply drop shaso!
so many cool looking models and you already have such good ideas how to use them in your army!

as for the color issue... can´t help you there...i am not that mixing type of guy...straight from the pot...that´s me

Of course! first comes finishing the paint, then decals, then weathering, rust and mud and dark wash

I'm not a fan of the hands on the walkers, seem a bit pointless with the shields. But that's not your fault.
Look good otherwise.

oh...a new diggi cam too... that solves the riddle of the better pics too...

I also got a new LED day light bulb to take pics under, so the images will really pop out, plan to take update pics today and pot them.

All the new stuff you got from your government back pay makes me wonder if its obmacare crippling the government, or your check .

Whatever the magic, your pics are looking so much better, now we just need to find you. Keyboard that is paint resistant.

Why do so many people think that Obamacare is some socialist free Government healthcare? It's actually not, it's a free market solution, but they called it "Obamacare" to make people dislike it by name association alone. All it does is make the crookiest of crook insurance companies stop selling snake oil policies.

Wrap your keyboard in clingfilm.

In the UK we have one hell of a support system and National Health system. Of course it is a mile from perfect. But we are lucky in many ways. Just never really worry to much about if things go "wrong". We are kind of covered. Trust me its not perfect but its got many upsides.

In fact as far as I am concrned, I would have preferred single payer health care as we really do not need to spend twice as much on millitary as 9 other nations combined.

That buggy is badass! But it needs an autocannon or Heavy Stubber up top! Hasslefree makes some great stuff don't they? Curse these Damn badass British mini companies!! I also like how you varied the camo markings on each walker. Much better than the old US Cold War woodland scheme..they went to great trouble to camo all the tanks exactly alike.

That's the jeep, any other angles would be great

I have the some off-whites that will make for good belly colors for these flying armored beasts.

Good good.

Blue rotors? Will they get yellow tips? Because all helicopters have yellow tips on their blades, so you know just how close you can get to them without getting a free hair-cut...

Also to the belly colours. Will the blades get the same treatment, I've seen that done too?

No yellow tips if your dumb enough to get close to a rotating helicopter without ducking low then you get the special haircut to prove it.

They look great in your camo scheme. Can't wait to see the leviathan dressed up

Also to the belly colours. Will the blades get the same treatment, I've seen that done too?

Civilian rotor blades get the yellow stripe/tips as most folks can't be counted on to duck

They look great in your camo scheme. Can't wait to see the leviathan dressed up

He gets a bigger version of the storm trooper camo

Lovely stuff; Tanks, Walkers, 'Copters and Hasslefree, you can't fail but be impressed

I was going to come back and say that most of my model helicopters have them, but as it turns out, of the ones that aren't packed away it's only the Bell 47 MASH and the Apache that have yellow tips.
However, you go looking for Apaches on google and I only saw one picture where it had yellow tips on. Must be an old thing then... *shrugs*

I do love the copters they look awesome.

All looking great.

Thank you! My IG is a very well equipped force as you can see!

They did make them pretty nice, if not honking huge like a Valkyrie

I like the white belly, although I think you can clean up the delineation line a bit

The clean up will happen, is just that the white linen underbelly was needed.

Lots of progress.
Liking the nearly white undersides of the choppers.

I'm still mostly excited by the Major...

those heli´s look great... but tell me... why white bellies? why not grey ones? i thought aircraft usually gets them bellies painted grey as the sky is rather more like grey than an off white?

Wowzers, lots of walkers

Especially liking the vanquisher and the spider, and your pics of the helis have convinced me, I've been toying with the idea of grabbing one of those for a while, nice to see more pics of them.

Well, you will see more of her in this post!

1980's Soviet Helicopter used a off white as to why? only the Soviet Airforce knows

So, I was having trouble with the fact that Captain Isseki (Not Batou) had normal looking eyes, so I did some drilling once I found the white round stock plastic that fit the bill and now he looks more like he ought to

The Major, which Dr.H has been anticipating wildly! Based on all we know, the one person the Mad scientist will wish to avoid having anywhere near his labs due to her innate badassery and force of her will

Touch ups with fine brush needed, yes, but hey, worth it as I have top notch agents here now.

Woo Hoo.

Good job on the eyes too, that is the only proper way.

The Scientist would be very interested by the Major (I have plans for Tomliand Bodyguards for him ).
And of course there's her extra curricular activities to consider...

But yes, she would be the one person to completely scupper all his plans...

those eyes i have to agree are brilliant!!!

Well, she is a one woman wrecking crew, worse when she has her whole team in support of wrecking jobs! Being an Inquisitorial agent as she is for me, her Adamantium will is likely to be the bane of many heretics.

Viktor von Domm wrote:those eyes i have to agree are brilliant!!!

I have 2 colors for the eyes, the sides will be chainmail and the lenses Mithril Silver for the extra shiny!

Major will get her signature red eyes and purple hair as per S.A.C. In the first movie she had black hair and ice colored irisies

Yep, you don't mess with someone that can, not only hack her way through pretty much any computer firewall, beat the hell out of any number of martial art programmed robots, but can (just about) pull the hatch off a tank!!!

In the manga, she can change the length and colour of her hair at will (and has clothes that do the same). As well as using many alternate bodies stored in safe houses.

She has also shown a propensity in other movies to jump and ghost all through the cyber-net at will. How do you fight someone with so much at her beck and call and skills, and abilities? try to find her? in cyber space she chameleons more than her cyber bodies! In real world, all those bodies are not all the same build, she has even gone to child bodies and snuck about unnoticed!

If caught by your character Doc, I dare say she is so scary good at what she does that depending on how much she wanted to study him, would show if she took 15mins to 24hrs to dismantle his entire set up as she has in the past shown the ability to wreck large facilities or short out some dude's personal head ware. Why else would Batou refer to her from their shared past as Queen Kong?

There's a great bit in one of the manga where Batou interrupts some of her "recreation" time and she hacks his arm and punches him in the face with his own fist (and he's supposed to be almost as good a hacker as she is...).

They used it in the anime, possibly 2nd gig she made him feel stupid as they were discussing why hekept using weight lift equipment when his battle frame was already tweaked to top strength, just he was in habit mode from his old human body. He chided her for not getting a male frame and she was showing how she did not need to switch frames as she was more comfortable in her female battleframe, and hacked his arm and upper cut himself, he was surprised and a bit mad.

Yeah, true.


It's been a while since I've watched them... now there's a thought... I'd have to start with series 1 though.

So, did more color works on the agents

Looking good dude.

So loving the GITS reference models, so sweet. Had to go look up some episodes.

Colour choices are working well.

Great work shaso the eyes are wonderful. Also I will have to watch GITS now, I have the original on VHS in the garage, afraid I haven't done too much anime since I got married. My wife is not into cartoons

the fur coat on the major will look really cool...and pruple hair looks sexy!!!

I'll bet you're enjoying the break from blue camo eh? Loo-kn great so far!

@Cam; I had to grab them as I do enjoy that anime.

@Dr.H: I am using online screencaps for color references hehehe!

@Theo; Oh you can also sometimes catch it on Cartoon Networks, late nite adult swim or Saturday is their anime schedule and this show is a major rocker or was.

@Vik; The Major is the gal with the purple hair, the boss of the good captain in the fur lined coat., LOL!

@Dave; I think you might also like the direction the twins are going Dave.

I was also going for "Smashee, smashee!"

More colors to make the metal look rusted and worn of course, brown leathers will be included, different than the approach you took Dave but I think will be interesting. Thanks for that vote of confidence as I know you are also a big FO-3 fan!

Yeah..I like it a little

Hoping FO:4 is also good

It HAS to be, Bethesda will be putting every feature they have plus some new ones into it.
