2024 Summer SciFi Sig

[Twokidsnosleep]

Are you ready? June 1 to Sept 30

[Stokesy44]

I want to be involved but have no kit



I want to be involved but buying a new kit breaches my new kit ban

[RangerNeil]

Looks like I finished last years one just in time.
Now - what to build for this year???

A Fantasy figure might be worth a try
You got a good month to wrangle a kit or find a printed figure

Here's to buying no more kits this year

[DBMiller]

I'll be there.
I've just started working on last year's build again after a very long absence - but I'll be there.

I am thinking I have a see-through Thunderbird 2 somewhere in the stash. Just got to find it. Also.got a Space 1999 Eagle but thats a BIG beast and I'm rapidly running out of display space......

[digger303]

Not one SiFi or even fantasy kit in the stash and to go further being totally unadventurous no paper panzers either

Well you got a month to get one
Hence the warning

How about one of these Super cool evil Red Skull guys from Marvel

[smokeriderdon]

Hmmmm, what to choose. It will depend on my current and next projects status. But I have plenty of choices from Star Wars to Trek to 1999 to BSG etc

The force is strong with this one. I kid you not but I've just been voted employee of the month for March and the award comes with an Amazon voucher. I've picked out a history book and am reviewing a choice of Bandai kits including the A Wing, Y Wing, AT-AT and various figures. The Y Wing is the favorite at the mo....

Well done. It's worth it being number 1
In fact my daughter also works for Amazon here in OZ she just landed the ware house managers job and has been there for about 3 weeks and has observed morale is low across the board....

The Y wing builds into a VERY nice kit - my son-in-law just finished it. He's about to start the B Wing.
I worked for Amazon for 2 years - employee morale was never a high priority for them. LCY3 got blacklisted by HGV1 drivers because they spent so long waiting to be processed and the "Leaders" were kids fresh from Uni with little idea of how things work or man management. It was luck of the draw if you got a good or bad one. Amazon doesn't have to word "retirement" in its vocabulary - they class everything as "employee termination" - .no matter why you leave the record just says you were terminated - quite a few young ones who left for other jobs had difficulties over this. That said I enjoyed the time I was there.

[Twokidsnosleep]

You cannot go wrong with a Bandai kit, they are fabulous

I kinda want this figure now



He had a really cool car in the movie as well…supercharged V16 coupe, double rear wheels

[Twokidsnosleep]

FYI, and a bit early in development
The powers that be are discussing a Fall Figure Fiesta sig
Perhaps incorporating some live online portions if we can swing it

Now that sounds like an excellent idea

[Twokidsnosleep]

We are half a month away…be prepared!!

[Stokesy44]

Woohoo!

Great video. And I have a kit ready

[RangerNeil]

Always prepared - the Airfix "Space 1999" offerings are enroute already. Would have gone for the 1/48 Eagle in the stash but theres nowhere, yet, to put the finished model.

[Twokidsnosleep]

Good job guys



June 1st-Sept 30, 2024 Summer SciFi Spectacular

[Tomcat64]

Nice work on the video

Since my "no more new kits" resolution this year has already done this


I've splurged on a new kit for this one - if it's here on time I'll be stoked

[Twokidsnosleep]

I just got my kit all ordered up.
Not quite what I was originally planning but should be cool

Cheers mate - I actually tripped over a link to one of the other ships from the series on their website and went a-searching

[smokeriderdon]

OK, once I finish the Phantom, I think I shall break out my USS Excelsior for this.

[Twokidsnosleep]

Good to see kits getting organized.
This is a 3D printed motorcycle from the second Tron movie was going to be my project



And a light set from Amazon




BUT
My little printer cannot for the life of it print a part square. The sides will not match up and the base is too wide to fit on my printer’s build plate at 100%…it needs to lie flat.
This is a super complicated print and the parts need to align perfectly, no fudge room here





I might try reducing parts down to 1/12 scale and try again. I had a good system of sequential parts printing before I started to look closer and see things were muffing up. So I have wasted time, resin, effort and money
I have plan B enroute

[Stokesy44]

I shall be tackling this beauty from Bandai.

Its the perfect kit for Bandai. With all the exposed surface detail there are very few of the trench like panel lines that plague kits like the X-wing. It will be out of the box but its a cracking kit so it should build up into a nice model then I'll dirty the hell out of it as befits the rebel workhorse.

[RangerNeil]

Tempted as I was by some of those Gambody .stl files the lack of a 3D printer ruled them out. So I managed to bag these for the build:



I've got the MPC Eagle in 1/48 - but I am seriously out of space to put the finished kits!!! These will fit in available gaps.

[smokeriderdon]

OK, so this is what I will be tackling once I get something done with the Phantom or Hustler.





And I have the Aztec decals...



Amusing thing. I put this kit up for sale at one point and people kept bugging me to sell them just those decals. I was like pffffttttt, no. Then I have the kit without them. NOPE. LOL

She's supposed to have trans-warp drive.

Aye, and if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon!

Does the kit come with the little computer chips that Scotty stole from her main drive?

[Twokidsnosleep]

I am away this weekend, but the sig threads shall open up soon
Dive in if you are ready!
