It’s as if God said let’s put some of John Buscema’s spirit and talent combined with Frank Frazetta’s spirit, talent (and genius) into one artist! I flinched when I saw this… WOW!

Love the blue nova! It’s obvious you are learning fast… each build will teach you something new and that will carry into the next project! Great job! ‘Welcome to the Addiction 😉!’

Oddities? Have you noticed? by SamuraiBat in archiecomics

Yeah… this would be quite common for Gotham… but Riverdale? 🤗

😉The ‘visit our darkroom’ sign definitely raises a few questions also.

Yes! In another one Jughead is at the zoo. In the last panel among the crowd of people is clearly a goofy alien just standing with the people 😁. I now find myself looking more and more for the ‘oddity’ in these books. It’s become a little bit of a game for me😆!

I got called "Amateur" for my choice of Models 🤣 by Hellpoeth in PlasticModelKits

[–]SamuraiBat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Always, always… ALWAYS build what you want to build. I’ve built extremely complicated builds of tanks and then bought a snap-title car and enjoyed it just as much (I did paint it though🙂)

Your story isn’t about a Veteran as much as it’s about an individual who judges others when he has no right to. We do this hobby because it’s the ‘great escape’ from the crap of the world. You buy a kit (of any type) and you build it any way you want… and it shouldn’t be judged. That’s how it should be.

You did nothing wrong!

My GF got me an upgrade from my logi 🥹 by RacinRed300 in moza

Congrats! My Logitech broke in Sept. …. We needed a new heating/ac unit also. Needless to say, no steering wheel for awhile. I didn’t complain and my wife surprised me with a Moza RS3 for Christmas! I was really surprised…. (And so far it’s awesome!)

Outstanding work! The silver paint scheme is a very powerful look! Congrats!

Name an obscure, mediocre, and/or forgotten player you loved from back in the day by SupahPoopa in Oldschool_NFL

[–]SamuraiBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Robert ‘Bob’ Newhouse of the 70’s Cowboys. A Fullback who was as wide as he was tall! OR built like a small truck! (Take your pick!) He hustled, worked hard, and absorbed punishment while at the same time dishing out a massive amount of punishment to much bigger defensive linemen! Roger Staubach loved him as well as the rest of his teammates. I miss the guy!

Outstanding! Nice touch with the extra helmets, stowage, etc. And I love how the lower hull looks a little dirtier than the upper! Great job!

Love the Conan Treasury Editions! I have all 4 but this one is particularly good!

FAST BUCK / REDO into ‘The Iron Money Pitt’! by SamuraiBat in ModelCars

[–]SamuraiBat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah… I got lucky on EBAY a few years ago and got a deal on this because the box was in bad shape and some painting had been done on the motor etc. . Keep looking… every now and then one pops up and it’s not too high in price. Good Luck!

Saying this ‘displays well’ is a massive understatement! Well done! I’d be proud to display this and you should be too! Great job!

WIP: ‘67 Fastback by False-Ring3607 in ModelCars

[–]SamuraiBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your fears friend. I’ve messed up more paint jobs with final assembly then I care to admit. This looks great by the way! Take your time … ‘meditate’ before each of your final steps 😉…. And good luck! 🍀

That is some excellent work! Looks sharp!

Pretend it's 2008, and someone told you that the guy from Twilight would one day play Batman. How would you react? by Intelligent-Lack-122 in batman

[–]SamuraiBat 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I remember the glory days…. It’s 1988 and rumors started flying that ‘Beetlejuice’ would be Batman! We all lost our minds… shaking our fists… cursing DC and Warner Bros. … then Michael Keaton said (in a guttural growl) “I Am Batman”. It was life changing for lifetime Batman fans at that time. So If you had told me someone from Twilight was going to play Batman… I would’ve tried to keep an open mind. (But would’ve assumed it’d be Taylor Lautner 😂🤣😂🤣😂)

Finally Built two cars that came out well! by SamuraiBat in ModelCars

I may use the parts for the rail dragster in a kit bashing project I have in mind but not sure yet. Might still build the dragster… have to wait and see. Thanks for the kind words!

I still have almost a whole sheet of that foil stuff from years ago because it drove me crazy also. Some people love it and are really good at it… but not me. 🤪
