Ah, here's the paint guide I was looking for - it was back on page 7 of this thread. Mark in Okinawa

I've seen Rustoleum Painter's Touch Navajo White as a recommended base color. Gene's recommendation for Tamiya TS-7 racing white is a bit lighter but still a nice off-white leaning towards a very light tan: http://www.baecklund.eu/scalemodels/gig/herbie.html Mark in Okinawa

Good point, though it makes more sense to me that the Y-wing would have that option for diorama purposes than the Falcon... Not complaining though! Now, who will have PE for this on the market first, I wonder :)

Very, very nice... Not sure I understand what's going on with the engine vents though - all that detail inside the vent, but the screen part that goes over it is solid and opaque... Hmm.

My email to Mr. Holm: Mr. Holm, As a sci-fi scale model builder and Star Wars fan I was disappointed to learn that, due to the licensing agreement between Disney and Bandai, retail online hobby shops such as HLJ.com and 1999.co.jp have been prevented from selling Bandai's Star Wars model kits...

I don't know about how affordable it is in bulk, but Loctite 5 Minute Epoxy comes in a self-mixing syringe. It has two special tips in the package that attach to the syringe, and the epoxy mixes inside the tip. I used some just last night, and it works great...

Re: 3D Printed Kit - Cosmo Dragoon - Now Selling! No worries - I've given it some thought and decided I'm going to replace that piece with plastic or metal tube - I would probably have done that anyway. I'm considering sanding off the screw heads and incorporating real screws as well, along...

Re: 3D Printed Kit - Cosmo Dragoon - Now Selling! Got mine today - holy cats this is a big gun! One part broke in shipment - that long rod - but it's an easy fix (or I could replace it with a metal rod if I have to, no biggie). Thanks for producing these - I would say they are well worth the...

My wife says I have a package at home from one Mr. Mike Salzo - I wonder what that could be.... (woohoo!) :D Mark in Okinawa
