Mal's Projects: Cylon Raider "Scar" - Mobius 1/32 full build
I needed a bit of a mojo-cleanser, and I took a swing at modifying the Mobius 1/32 reboot Cylon Raider into "Scar." In here is the look into the box and then some high-level looks at the modifications and build. Some successes, some misses-of-the-mark, but it was a journey I enjoyed.

Mal's Projects: (1) Unboxing: Space 1999 SUPERSWIFT 1/72
Просмотров 2303 месяца назад
This is an unboxing of a 3-d Printed resin kit of a Space 1999 SUPERSWIFT model. The Superswift is from the "Bringers of Wonder" episodes and this thing is a beast of a kit. This is one of those subjects I've desired since I first saw it, and I finally have been able to acquire it. This is what I see when I go into the box. If you're interested in acquiring one yourself, it comes from Bill Alte...
Mal's Projects: (1) Hera Syndulla's "Ghost", Resin kit from Randy Cooper
Просмотров 2984 месяца назад
This is a 1/96 Resin-cast of Hera Syndulla's "Ghost" ship from Star Wars' "Ahsoka" series. This version is different from Ghost as seen in StarWars Rebels, and has the Phantom II shuttle, replacement for the original Phantom which was destroyed in the series. This is not a 3-d print, it is a kit that was scratch built and patterned by professional model maker Randy Cooper and his skill is evide...

Slightly non-traditional vid for me, I was getting little bits of time here and there, I just combined them all into one. This was a fun little project. Learned much.. more to learn.

The next project on the table is the Tamiya Corsair in 1/48. As always, starting with a look in the box and thoughts for plans to handle the build. Spoilers: mostly out-of-the-box, no resin or upgrades, just whatever scratchbuilt or detialing things I can do with on-hand materials.

The T28 was a assault gun like the Stug III, SPG's are things like self propelled artillery.
I do believe that "bedroll" was a tarp. I wouldn't want to use a bedroll that had been constantly rained on and splashed with mud ewww.
He probably gets that symmetry by mocking it up in a 3D rendering program and then mirroring it then uses either a CNC to cut a positive or a 3D printer to print a positive then makes a negative mould of that.
I didn't know anyone made large kits for Battletech, I've wanted some for years. Every time I see the Gundam kits I'm like man they need Battletech ones. I went over to look at this guys page and he threw in the towel in July. Says he will only fill orders for ones he already has moulds for which I was bummed about. He didn't have any models I was interested in enough to pay $100+ for. I am looking for a Thunderbolt TDR-5S and a Firestarter FS9-H. I guess I will keep looking and hoping.
Understand. He DID have a Firestarter.. take another look. If he doesn't have any more I might have one still in my stash. I'm pretty sure I grabbed one.
I am really glad you persisted with this. I bought this model about s few days ago from Andy'sHobbyHQ. I don't know precisely when I will be building it but I will remember these videos and will come back to watch them again just before.
Thanks.. I am too. It was work, but I'm happy to have come out the other side. :) Good luck!!
what's the name of this special metal parts? this is some addons? becouse in a box there is only plastic parts, where i can buy it?
Do we need glue for this
Yep., very much so.
I need this model despite the fact I own the same in scale 1/6 rc..very good and detailed job 👍
Oooh.. Rc. nice! Who makes THAT one? :) Thank you for the feedback!
@syrmalcolm this is a vario helicopter kit
Nice!! I had one of their Apache kits years ago, but my flight skills at the time would have turned that into a pile of shattered parts and hopes. LoL
This looks great... I used rattle can hammering effect overall to match the studio model and then shaded.
Thank you for that! Nice idea!! Mine was rattlecan Leadbelcher. I'll have to take a look at the hammering effect for future projects. Thanks!
I've built this kit multiple times throughout my years, and it will always be my favorite F-8 kit. I'm always on the look out for another.
Thank you! I will admit that I am happier with it than I expected to be, and it does look nice on the shelf.
Raised panel lines are more prototypical but recessed panel lines are better for thd modeller to show off detail. Thats how I look at it.
That came out really nice
Thanks Finn! I definitely had fun with it. Appreciate it!
Thank you for the positive review! I look forward to the magic you will do on it. Please keep us updated. :)
Thank YOU! it's a wonderful kit and I've loved this subject since I first saw it. You can count on me posting how I get on! Thanks!
@@syrmalcolm did you get instructions from me yet?
I did! All good and ready to go!
@@syrmalcolm is it ok to share this video?
If you want to, of course. It's public. :) I'm no pro..but feel free.
Brilliant!! I thought I'd start mine (1 of 2 - both good price) before I start an assembly line for the squadron of Eagles I have accumulated. Just opened one of them and was disappointed to see it won't display 'nicely' with the Eagles as it is on the stand. Searching builds to see if any hiccups etc (RUclips is great for that and thanks to all who take/have the time to post videos) and found your video about Landing Gear!!!! Just what I need - an Idea and inspiration on how it could be done. Love the perfect placement for a 'tricycle' configuration. I guess I'm off designing and then see how I go with a 3d print effort. (no spare parts or the like) Great job and MANY thanks for taking the time to video, edit and post the build.
Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it! that was exactly the same reason I went down that road, I wanted to display next to my Eagles and I don't have the "airspace" in my house. All I have is shelf-space. Good luck on yours!!!
Amazing figure model! Ambitious project, good luck!! 😮
Thank you.. this is gonna take a while! :)
même si Monogram est une marque ancienne ,à leur epoque ils ont fait des modèles vraiment en avance sur leur temps. La qualité était là .j'en possède encore de nombreux à monter, mais je ne m'en séparerais pas car on peux les améliorer avec des photo découpes pour les cockpits. Donc ce sont de très bonnes bases . Superbe ce montage .
Je suis d'accord, pour l'époque beaucoup étaient très bons. Merci!
Awesome 👏
Thank you!
Absolutely dislike this version Nautilus. Goofy looking design.
'A hack having fun'. The way it should be! There's plenty of insanely detailed and skilful builds of this kit on modelling forums being documented, then just stop mid build. I think too many modellers fall into the trap of chasing perfection at the cost of enjoyment.
Tamiya really should do a retool of this kit. The other 1/32 F-14 (Trumpeter, Revell) kits have significant issues. This could be a halo kit.
Just building mine and I had no issue fitting the metal wing support piece. Slotted on nicely with no force required at all
Mine is fine too.
Hey Mal, as you were thinking about adding smoke. Found this: ruclips.net/video/8oNMnFIC4Ys/видео.htmlsi=BhOxuUeCQOCS3RvM I like it :) but with smoke you have to keep in mind that the smoke will drop down somewhere. So by doing this too often the smoke can / will create a layer of the Smoking liquid on the model
Thank you! I did a "Ghost Rider" cosplay where the skull threw smoke, and the way I lit it, it looked like flames. This is kinda what I was thinking of doing here as well. You're right.. definitely need to be aware of the residue and how that will build up. It's entirely probable that, while it'd be cool to have, it'd only ever be turned on for like 3 minutes over the rest of the life of the model, so... is it really worth it? : ) Thanks!
It would be REALLY amazing! But I am with you, would it be worth the effort.... i honestly do not know...as it is not only the Smoking machine itself, but also the preparation of the kit.... and as you mention, how often will it be used.... :-/
Nice kit, and if I remember correctly Space is one of your favourites :) looking forward to this project of yours with hopefully plenty of videos :) :)
Oh yes, you remember correctly. I guarantee I'll document the journey. Thank you!!
Well somehow missed the beginning where you mentioned it 😂 oh and nice weapons and armorin the back 😊
hah.. thanks. That's my "other" hobby.. :)
That is awesome! I loved Space 1999 (not as much as I loved their previous series 'UFO' but I did love it a lot)
Thank you. Same for me!!
Very cool find! Yet another epic project for us to delight in as you build it up. I've never seen this before, but I haven't watched Space: 1999 in its entirety yet. Doing an image search brings up some good pics of the filming model with its big spindly legs, I'm gonna say this is the granddaddy to Red Dwarf's Star Bug shuttle! Happy modeling!
The swift and the superswift just had that 'coolness' factor for me when I was a kid. I loved it. It's going to be fun to do, just the dry fits are showing good engineering and fit. I just need to get time on the bench! :) thanks and take care!
It looks like I sent you 2 sets of engine inserts by mistake. Did I send you the instructions?
I was wondering if that was intentional. There was not a set of instructions in the box, no sir. Thanks sir.
@randallcooper3559 as the comments in your videos are deactivated, I have to take this chance here: WOW your kits are amazing! This is such a great work of yours!😊😊😊
Wow! 😊 wow unboxing Video and wow to the kit 😊😊😊
Thanks.. really looking forward to working on this one.
The details are just, like you said: wow! Thanks for adding the link to him. His other kits look also amazing. Really looking forward to you working on it :)
That is an incredible kit, happy modeling!
That is exactly my thought at looking at it too! :) Thanks!
look forward to the completion
Thanks.. this one is going to take a while. I'd like to give it the attention and work it deserves.
Fun little Fiat 💥👍💥
Thanks! any opportunity to learn new things...
Yes it was entertaining. Thanks. The 4 decals might go to the center of the rims. The cover of the box is showing it :)
Good catch.. obviously, I missed that. :) thanks!!
Glad i could help :)
You're right, decal number 8 goes on the hub caps.
I'm waiting for mine in the mail. I got the pe set from microscale, made in Russia, it's coming from Kazakhstan, won't be here for awhile. Thank you for this video
thanks.. I hope you enjoy it!
Just caught up with this; always great to see a Monogram 'Classic'(?) getting a shake! Regarding the grey colour, it may not be 36440 but it makes the VF-84 markings pop like they never did before! Great job. 👍
Thanks! I appreciate that. I did have fun with it, to be sure. Some of those old kits just need a bit of love.
And now to something completely different😊
so very right.. I mean.. what the heck? :)
That is another point i love with your channel: you are not only focusing on one specific "topic" like others do. And it seems you are having your joy in doing so ;)
Thanks.. It's all about learning new things, yea? :)
FIAT- Fix It Again Tony! This looks to be a really nice kit, should be a fine build.
We'll find out. :) I don't normally do cars, but it's good to try new things. :)
This gonna be a good one! I gotta get one sometime 'cause my mom owns a pearl white one.
haha Nice!! We'll see how it goes!!
Man you did a fantastic job here.. Looks beautiful. I'd love to have some completed models like this, but I don't have the patience to complete them. I have a Meng T-90 tank model that I started but did not finish. The tracks give me so much trouble.. anyway, I really enjoyed this series, thanks!
Thank you so much for the feedback, glad you enjoyed the series. I will admit this one was a bit of an exercise in getting over frustration to be sure. :) LOL
This is so cool, I wish I had the skill and patience to complete one
Thank you. It all comes with practice. This one drove me crazy and took a lot of time, but for everything, there is a first step, yes? :)
I say jump in. The good thing about models is they realistically don't go bad, meaning they are plastic and not like it will rot away like a hamburger. If you can't find the time to finish it when you're half way through just put everything either back in the box or in a plastic bin and store it until you can finish. I've done that several times. Happened to me with my Warhammer 40k Vindicator Laser destroyer model. Lost steam about 30% through it and stored it for about five months and then came back and knocked it out and it's on my shelf.
This! Is worth trying! Every model teaches you something.
Intresting kit. The tiny pieces must have been a pain in the a.... thanks for that video :)
Oh.. they were... but it was entertaining. :) thanks!!
@@syrmalcolmthat is the most important thing! And for me it was entertaining to watch :)
awesome.. glad to hear. Victory condition met. :)
Yes sir! Everytime ;)
Hi. Can you explain how and when you use micro mask. It never works for me.
Sure thing. I tend to pretty much use it only for clear masking. For the most part, I apply it with the tip of a cocktail stick, and use the point to trace around the canopy edges, then get big drops to fill in the big open spots. Sometimes, if it's possible, I'll mask with tape first and just use the micro-mask for the edge. I could also do a vid of just how I make it work. I'll see if I can make one in the near future. Thanks!
Just found your channel. I'm back tomodelling after a 35 year break. Have you done any Eduard models? Great detail for reasonable prices. All the best.
Nice.. hope you enjoy it! I haven't done any Eduard kits as yet, but if a subject comes up, I'll definitely give them a run. Take care and thanks.
Aha introducing your 4 legged supporter? So cute :)
She was insistent on getting into the act! :) Thanks.
Great video on a subject near and dear to me! Speaking of large Battlemech kits, did you see Max Factory has a 1/35 Dougram (Shadow Hawk) scheduled to release in May?
I hadn't.. I'll have to look. Thanks!!
Outstanding, sorry im late to comment.
it's never late, I always listen to feedback. Thank you!
Good review, I hope he has one or two left to buy.
Thanks! Good luck!
Mech!!! :)😊 Customization!!!😊😊 Nice unboxing Video. Now I cannot wait to get mine ;) postponed my shipment in order to combine it with the SRM carrier ;)
Yeah, I have in my head a lot of "field repair work" in a dio.. we'll see where it goes! Good luck!
I love all the modern Japanese kits and I have plenty of them. But it's hard to beat those old Monogram kits. The finished model looks great, even if you do have the wrong grey. With those enamel washes you need a gloss finish to get them off easily.
Thanks for that.. ! appreciate the feedback!
Great diorama. 🎉 Can you tell me what LEDs you used? How many volts
Thank you! I used simple 3v leds, fed through a regulator. Stupid simple. :) thanks for the feedback!
definitely like the mini led idea Im making Academys m3 right now. has some interior
