The bling must go on

Well, it's been again quite productive day. In fact, I have almost all of the PE done! The tool and cable clamps are not so horrible, I think the Tiger 1 was a good practice and now I know the subtle tricks how to assemble them without too much fuss, while of course some are still quite annoying!
But what's more annoying is how oversized some of those Voyager details are... no matter how I look at them, they just seem like 1/32 scale, or even bigger. Eh, there's not much I can do about it now, but definitely not cool!
Also, last time I said I won't use the highly praised MXBon black superglue because it's not available anymore. Well... and this is good news for everyone interested, the Black Widow CA from AK Interactive IS MXBon! I'm 95% sure it's the same CA, just with a different label - the bottle is the same, consistency same, it dries slowly giving you ample time to position PE in place, and it's very "soft" and easy to wash away with debonder. So everyone looking for the perfect black CA - here's your answer! 😊
And last but not least, I made the biggest investment into the channel and bought an iMac Pro. I think it's gonna be a good companion, because I already tried video editing and well... it exports videos about 30x faster than my 2017 Macbook Pro. So stoked, and it's made possible by all of you and people watching those videos! So thank you!!! 😊😊😊

Uh, I think there's just one model and you can pay extra for better spec. So I bought it in stock configuration, it was also an unpacked piece which was displayed in the Apple dealer store, so it was on a 20% discount!

Uncle, which spec iMac Pro did you get? (And do you still have both your kidneys?)

Life's already so much easier with the new computer! Thank you! 😁 That JT is the one I'm using as reference for details, flame cuts, welds, everything. It's the same 331 I'm building, displayed at Aberdeen. Of course I won't paint it in that made-up camo tho 😁 It will have a 3 tone ambush like it originally had

so happy you upgraded the computer! Good on ya! The jad is looking amazing. those flame cuts and welds are looking extra clean and hyper real. Will you camo it? i love the contrasting colours on this one: https://tinyurl.com/y36xa7ex
