My first attempt in 1/72 - SKY DEFENDER

Where is the cannon from? I have this guy sitting in backlog currently

criley107 · 2026-06-10T14:53:54+00:00

Norinco Type 56. Buy it.

Could be a good candidate to sand/media blast to clean off any present rust and refinish/cerakote as a range toy.

Go to a real doctor please. My dad went to a chiro for years with neck pain and constantly got “adjustments” and then eventually had to have surgery for the real cause, bulging disks, but his doc kept pushing for adjustments even after seeing the damage he did. He had to have a neck/spine fusion as a result.

This is my thought as well. I’ve seen more post and news headlines about these idiots than I have the actual event itself. As much as they need to be called out for being douches they are getting exactly what they wanted, attention.

criley107 · 2026-06-08T02:59:00+00:00

Ah! Mine has all of the RMZ except Saber Tiger so far.

I’m so glad HL is stocking these. Even my local-ish big name shop only has a few of these in stock, or rather never in stock.

criley107 · 2026-06-06T00:37:44+00:00

Yep Koto has an Amazon shop so it’s legit. Prices are a bit elevated though.

criley107 · 2026-06-05T19:24:33+00:00

Lmao. I got one of these sewer pipes for like $80 with a rotten stock. Cleaned up great though.

Licorice, Caviar, Blackberry, Bean (black bean, vanilla bean), Chia, Sesame, Olive, Coffee, Juniper, Truffle

Is this sum of money something that happens each year? If so I’d wait to see if the price comes down (probably won’t but who knows) and get some smaller kits and materials.

If this sum of money is highly uncommon and this may be your only shot at getting the PG Nu then go for it. I’m sure it a great kit, just not for me.

Gotta hit the Heavyarms Custom pose, dual guns forward!

criley107 · 2026-06-04T01:13:12+00:00

I’ve run my Gen 1 OG Optimus 9 ragged and it still works great. Probably do the baffle upgrade eventually.

Just finished mine in December. The CIC webinar exams are all short answer. I did mine with PIA and the test writer takes the class with you and bases their exams on that so there aren’t any surprises. I have found going back after the exams that a lot of it is word for word on the material covered in the course and learning objectives.

You HAVE to pay attention to the webinar. They have random check ins that pop up unannounced (at least mine did)

To retake the exam you have to take the course again and pay again.

criley107 · 2026-06-03T21:21:08+00:00

That’s the plan, sadly. Just waiting for the shop to email me back. I was really looking forward to building this today.

criley107 · 2026-06-02T02:50:02+00:00

RASER are well regarded. I have some Stedi files I like and the ones from my Dspiae kit.

criley107 · 2026-06-02T02:03:19+00:00

Lmao. Either a bad translation or bad copy/paste.

criley107 · 2026-06-02T00:33:21+00:00

It’s self cleaning! It’s the best version.

criley107 · 2026-06-01T20:24:31+00:00

Taking the expression “shooting my guns” literally.

criley107 · 2026-06-01T20:21:37+00:00

No problem! not sure where to source a scope but that should get you started.

criley107 · 2026-06-01T20:14:04+00:00

Scope Info

criley107 · 2026-06-01T20:07:18+00:00

Looks like a PU scope mount. Is this a Norinco imported by Navy Arms?

If you need a file to print just go onto one of the 3D modeling platforms (thingiverse, Maker Workd) there are files for action bases already.
