Super glue will NOT bond vinyl parts - ACK!

So stuck at home getting over covid and thought I'd catch up on some kit building. Had a Billiken Godzilla '54 kit made from that notorious gray vinyl GEOmetric used back in the day (that super glue would NOT glue together) and decided to give it a soak in degreaser and see if it would make any diff...

Nicely done! The one Paradise I kick myself for not picking up when they were still in business. This goes for a pretty penny now!

Re: What are you building instead of Wfest?

Almost finished my Fewture Zeiram 2. Made a nice little base for him today. Just a little detail work left. It's been sitting half done for far too long. Just received my Fewture Zeiram 2 from Shopping Mall Japan last night (Fewture just did a limited re-release). Fantastic sculpt and casting! My T...

Re: Did anyone purchase Galileo's "Vastatosaurus Rex" ?

Sad. Sad that he ruined a good thing for himself and sad that people got taken. I agree, I think a lot of guys have big ambitions and then the orders just overwhelms them. IMHO from there they just can't keep up, can't stop taking orders and in the end - run. I guess you're right. :| I think all *c...

Re: Did anyone purchase Galileo's "Vastatosaurus Rex" ?

Why does this happen to really good, trustworthy sculptor/producers sometimes? Do they get burned out, a big head, or what?

Re: SHIN GODZILLA ****spoilers****

The only thing about this I thought was really cool was his oral beam. The rest? Talk, talk, talk! Maybe all those potlitical board meetings meant something to the Japanese, but (alas) not to me.

Re: Kaiyodo 20cm Godzilla re-releasing in July 2016 HLJ

Oh, I bet these are in the regular Kaiyodo/Billiken/etc. vinyl. I've heard kits referred to being in "soft vinyl" before in Japan and I knew for a fact that they were reg. vinyl. For some reason the japperknees sometimes refer to it as "soft".

That is terrific, dude. The vehicles and people really set it off and give it some scale.

Is Krabbits really the name of the co.?
