I wonder if, at some point, you may have accepted a friend request from a cloned account. Check your friends list, see if this person's name shows up twice. This could explain why mutual friends don't see her as active.

Favorite Obscure or Discovered Music Album

I've been obsessed with Within Temptation's Hydra album since i stumbled across it a month or so ago: -
I remember Mr. Glass on Barney Miller, but Firefly is where I feel I really know him as an actor. This one has hit me pretty hard.

The Space Pod Crab 03 kit contains ABS plastic parts to build 2 models, one partially made of clear plastic as a gimmick. I decided to build the two models one-at-a-time, to make it easier to deal with parts. I started by clipping the parts from the sprues, fixing sprue scars, putting together sub-assemblies and fixing seams: I then began painting with AMMO of Mig Jimenez and Tamiya paints:

I am seeing so much excellent work in this thread. Keep it up, everybody! I have been plugging along on my builds, and documenting with photos, but I haven't been good about posting the photos here. Sorry about that, let's see if I can make up for it. Here are more photo's on the First Order Special Forces Tie Fighter: Here is a completed solar panel / radiator: Red fuselage parts, with pre-shading that didn't really show up very well in the end: An then I forgot a about taking photos for a bit. Here is the finished fighter attached to the kit-supplied display base, to show just how much detail gets covered up by the attachment: So I made my own with a brass rod inserted into one of the thruster nozzles of the fighter: I tried to give a shadow effect to the kit's sand dune base buy spraying white primer on one side of the dunes over a brown primer base... ...but it didn't show up at all after painting with sand yellow. I then mounted the fighter and the sand dunes to a wooden plaque that I stained with Tamiya clear smoke acrylic paint. Here are the photos of the finished item. Edit: Some of my WIP photos show up with skewed proportions. Does it look like that for anyone else?

That really is excellent work! Good job on lighting the Batmobile, and the display base looks great.

Wow!! I like it. Very interesting combination.

Wow, that is really good!

It's too bloody hot in NYC for painting, so I'm currently at an impasse. I am planning to go to science-fiction/fantasy oriented model show in a couple of weeks, and I wanted to have both of my chosen kits ready to enter in their contest. Now it looks like I'll be lucky to have one complete in time. However, I do have some progress to show from the last couple weeks, mostly on the TIE Fighter's cockpit. I decided to cheat a bit and use the kit's stick-on decals for the cockpit (it comes with both stick-on and waterslide). I don't think it will be too noticeable once the fuselage has been fully assembled around it. The parts were painted AMMO gray over Testors Super Fine primer. I will probably apply a bit of panel line wash before adding the pilot and gunner figures. The solar panels / radiators / whatever Disney calls them this week were painted with Testors magnesium Metallizer and buffed out with a cloth wheel on my Dremel at lowest speed.

That looks great, Wayne!

Like I said, there was some clumsiness involved on my part. I think it may have been a mistake to make my first attempt at the technique on something so small. In any case, my red color coat went wrong, and I need to strip the acrylics off and try again.
