niVL@Boy Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hey Guys, this is still on, my wife just had our 2nd baby over the holidays, we are back home and after a week break i will be back at work on this for a very early spring release, likely mid march. Once the molds are done i will take orders until those molds are toast, which will likely be a pretty short run since this is pretty big... thanks mike Hey..congratz on the new family addition...will be eagerly waiting for your return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaDragon Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Hi Mike, Sorry to be late, but I've only got intermittant use of my computer due to family circumstances. Hey Guys, this is still on, my wife just had our 2nd baby over the holidays, we are back home and after a week break i will be back at work on this for a very early spring release, likely mid march. Once the molds are done i will take orders until those molds are toast, which will likely be a pretty short run since this is pretty big... thanks mike Awesome! Congrats to dad, on his second time (dad squared?!!?!?!), and lets not forget Mom who did, after all, have a fairly major part to play. Like the man said, "there is nothing more important than family". Graham. Edited January 16, 2010 by DaDragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mslz22 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hey Guys, the baby has kept me busier than i expected as well as some delays on another huge project that i have been doing for WonderFest. I do still fiddle with it from time to time but I don' think i can expect major progress until after Wonderfest. But his is still on and right now should be my major focus after Wonderfest. So much of this is done it would be a shame to not to finish it, in fact most of the heavy lifting on the rework is done, and the finer detail stuff is the part I enjoy doing the most so i am still motivated to get it done, time just flies by with a baby in the house..... thanks again and sorry for the delay is updates... mike Any new progress on the monster?

Ghadrack Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I was just doing a little work on my Version 1 yesterday and thought I'd check in on this thread. Look forward to seeing your next progress update. I'm planning to hit Wonderfest this year, you going to be bringing anything to display?

mslz22 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 It should be just about 1/16 scale....it makes the monster look tiny... What scale is tha AT AT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghadrack Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Oh hey, and someday when you get the bug to do another Macross project, that 2500 scale SDF-1 would still be pretty darn awesome, Yamato's 2K scale wasn't really reasonable for anyone other than the ultra-fan with deep pockets, at least one other guy talked about doing a 2500 scale kit and decided not to. I know I still want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslz22 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 It's always on my mind.....I was really, really thinking about a 1/2000 TV one...I have a guy that does 3d stuff for me now for some of the more complicated stuff, in fact on the big AT AT the neck, drive units, and a handfull of other parts are "grown" parts. I also did a 1/12 TOS BSG viper and almost 1/3 of that was "grown" parts. Now that we have worked on a few projects together we have a good groove going where i can do the bigger stuff with traditional methods and really tricky stuff gets done in the computer. I really need to hammer out this AT AT and the monster and think about what comes next, I have more ideas than i have time is usually the issue with me.... mike Oh hey, and someday when you get the bug to do another Macross project, that 2500 scale SDF-1 would still be pretty darn awesome, Yamato's 2K scale wasn't really reasonable for anyone other than the ultra-fan with deep pockets, at least one other guy talked about doing a 2500 scale kit and decided not to.

That 1/12 viper kit is incredible. The build up that I think Moffeaton? is doing with the LCD display in the cockpit is really incredible stuff. I just wish I had room for some of the cool stuff you've done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
