Just call me Ray

This actually reminds me of the first design proposal for Mitsubishi F-2A. Really.

I must say I'm impressed with the final product, but I'm also really impressed with the attention to detail included in the base kit itself and just the attention to design the 2009 movie people put into the ship. The detail of the individual phaser turrets in particular is just freaking insane! 🤪

The Monogram kit of this subject has always been one of my favorite kits of all time - but this is like the Super Mega Ultra Superman Incredible Hulk Ferrari Lamborghini version!

TWO 23's?😧

the 32 48 or 72 kit?

A decent Concorde again, preferably in a large scale but I'll take 144 A 1/72 BUFF

Stupid question is that a reinforcing joint on the vert stab? Given how old these things are I can believe it.

I'm pretty sure there are aftermarket parts for the 1/72, and also there've been a few 72 kits out there before they started routinely pulling the turkey feathers off so you might have some luck there too. I'll get back with some better research.

I've been recently laid off from my job (tutoring) and I'd appreciate any job search help you can offer for a remote position job (no financial/otherwise handouts, just looking for a new job)

I don't know how many of you end up with toys around the house, whether as part of collections for other hobbies or just for the sake of the kids. But I swear toys are about the only things that use C and D cell batteries as pretty much everything else has gone with integrated rechargable packs. I just found a large store of C cells in my basement, got them for a couple of battery operated dome lights that I think we ended up getting rid of. Put some batteries into some Nerf guns I have because wth am I gonna do with them otherwise?🤪

...so I understand that this post is a year old (yeah I don't come here much often :p) but it says "Publications" on my graduate school certificate so....

...so...does Tyler Rogoway scope out ARC then? https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/36009/f-102-delta-daggers-weapons-bays-combined-rockets-and-missiles-in-a-feat-of-cold-war-ingenuity Asking because I submit this as evidence that I'm seriously convinced he does.

Hmmmm...can't quite put my finger on it but I'm getting incredibly strong flashbacks to a certain other hobby very relevant to this particular whole entire forum thingie..... *randomly sliding decals everywhere nightmares*

To be honest here I'm not sure what you're getting at. It's been my observation that there are brands that have better consistency, some more consistently better (Asian brands, for some reason, although it seems like culturally they care a lot more about super exacting precision, i.e. Gunpla etc, also Czech brands but I always say the Czechs just seem to make the best stuff on Earth) some more consistently worse (*some* brands from behind the Iron Curtain although it seems like everyone's pretty much caught up, plus I know I'm going to get flak for this but Airfix, Italeri and Testors seem to

Generally true but it also does put you in a bind. You can do everything right to grow traffic and it can still take years. Many of the YouTubers I talk to, they tell me it took them a literal decade before they started seeing real ad income. Some people "cheat the system" (or at least try to hurry things up) by being a sponsor themselves to advertise their channel first, but I'm guessing funds are a bit tight to be able to do that and/or that's a bit counter-productive. Plus the channels that mostly do that, even when they appear to be done by individuals, usually have big bucks behind them b
