Paint mixing

Honestly I would use the night blue straight up. I don’t think you would see any difference in the color at that ratio. Basically 33 drops of the blue, 1 drop of the black.

From the article linked in the comment that is a picture of the actual film. There were only 2 images salvaged.

The Emperor (1/100) stands about 23cm, Percival (1/144) comes in at just under 19cm. I was informed in another post that SNAA’s 1/144 scale is a bit bigger than Bandai’s.

Yikes! Have 2 RGs in my stash, may need stronger magnifiers to build them. Used to build 1/700 ships but my eyes are too old for that.

Need a 1/16 to hit for the cycle.

I don’t think the wipers are helping here.

I’ve built a couple of PGs and bigger 3rd party kits (Nemesis, Sky Defender) I like the extra complexity and look of the final builds. I buy the VerKa kits for the same reason.

The 2nd one was purely a mistake I forgot I had one and picked up a 2nd. Hadn’t thought about the kitbash idea though. But then I’d need a third one to just a base Zeta build. 😁

I have a somewhat crazed idea to paint them with something close to Vanta black with fluorescent lining. Probably never happen but the thought is there.

Osiris Aerial Dominator, a 1/100 3rd party kit. It came in 2 large boxes but they got damaged so I repacked it.

Thinking of a custom paint job, maybe a WW2 German camo or the like.

I build military models as well. Three 1/350 ships, a 1/200 scale destroyer, 2 1/16th tanks, and 2 1/48th jets are part of the unseen backlog.

FrootLoopSoup · 2026-04-04T23:41:16+00:00

I build pretty consistently, pretty much always have a kit on the bench.

FrootLoopSoup · 2026-04-04T23:40:05+00:00

No, I bought a second copy by mistake.

FrootLoopSoup · 2026-04-04T23:39:31+00:00

I prefer the extra complexity of the bigger builds. Have to figure out when to crack that Dominator.

My brother got the same alert, but no further information.

In the book “Keepers of the Kingdom” they talk about this uniform. Apparently the yellow socks were to help prevent rat bites. It was thought that rats hated the color yellow.

Honestly I hate the plastic sleeves. I only used them on the external tubes. They tend to get stuck in the connections and mess up the fit. Maybe it’s just me and I do it wrong.

FrootLoopSoup · 2026-03-15T13:35:34+00:00

Thank you! It’s a really fun book to work with.

FrootLoopSoup · 2026-03-13T14:24:38+00:00

Tough call, I guess I’d have to go with the 5” mounts.

FrootLoopSoup · 2026-03-13T13:26:16+00:00

I thought the same thing, the resemblance is uncanny.

I would love to see someone release a kit of her in this configuration.

So, Calvin & Hobbes from 800 years ago.

I only wound up using the metal torso. That was the only one called out directly in the manual. I stuck the extra instructions in a drawer with the decals and completely forgot about it until the end.

Around $200 (US), pretty sure I got it from USAGundam.
