Knock Knock Knock!!! LOL!!! Nice vid John!! Thanks for sharing with us! It's nice to hear the stories of the origins of how people get into this! Those indelible images of your Dad when you're younger tend to stick with us. The modeling relaxes most and brings us back to a nice carefree time!! Nothing wrong with a little rant now and then BTW....is what it is....nice restraint too!!! Time and place!! : Now get this done so the MF can get done!!! LOL!! Yup, my shelf queens are growing here too!!! ;D

Todd: have no fear I will be back at the Falcon soon. Very soon. I don't think the RX-78-2 will take that much of my time to finish. I am about half way done with the preliminary build up.
Steezy: You got that right. I am ordering up two or three bottles of each color except for yellow. Not much yellow on him.
thanks Noc5659!
Mr. Natural: Had a Godzilla movie marathon last weekend. Good stuff!
Cool updates John - I just managed to watch all three now. That is one HUGE kit. I like and could identify with some your reminisces about model building, I think those are common themes for many of us.
Can you confirm that the head could be replaced by "mine" ? Same neck ? Or even the chest, is that how it's done in yours ? An upper part for your chest ?
Really asking myself if detailing the chest was a good idea. I plan to obtain a Megasize model one day so... Why not modify it to have the "manga" version ?
Yeah, there is no paint on it yet. I just wanted to go out and play with the camera a bit. I am about to do some before shots, so I will have something to compare it to once painted.
I am going to put this one on hold for a bit. But only for three weeks max. I have some paint on order and I want to finish up the Mercury 9 by the 20th. I also have a practice project to do for the paint on this one. That kit is built up and only needs paint so it should go fast. Just a weekend or two.
