Updating the Models Section


Myersjessee

Recommended Posts

I wrote this in another thread, but I don't think people saw it. Starting with 1/72 scale....here we go (after this I still need to cover all the other scale items....Lets start making lists and getting volunteers! )

Just wanted everyone to know I have started working on redoing the models section in MW. It's still in the works, but Ill be looking for people who have some of the rarer kits who would be interested in helping us post content. For each kit I'd like to post:

1 Cover art (high res)

2 Instructions (complete)

3 Decals (high res)

4 Kit (pieces)

5 Completed kit photos (by MW members and particuarly well done ones from magazines (if we can...not sure on this...copyright and all))

6 Feedback/Reviews (looking for more of the Amazon 1 Paragraph here)

So...

A) how does this sound?

B) I'm going to need help. Starting with the 1/72 scale lists I need a lot. If you have any of the items below and would be willing to scan the above items, or you have finished one and would be willing to share pictures please drop me a PM and Ill start a running list of what we need/have. I'm hoping to finish a couple sections a week. THANKS ALL!

I need: (may need more, but off the top of my head I don't have)

actually Jesse, I was looking a bit back, and there are some pics missing in the Nichima (sp) 1/200 kits for box tops i think, and I have a bunch of them.... I also have a scanner, but I;m kinda busy so if you figure out if some of the pics are misisng, let me know and I will hook you up with what I can.

There are a lot of pics already...and I'm going through what I can to figure out whats missing...which is why Ill probably take it one vendor at a time and which is why I have not listed all the old standbyes...ARII, IMAI, Bandai etc yet..I know we have alot) But, I do want more data then we have for some. All the box covers, and high res scans of the box art, instructions, kits, decals, etc. Start thinking about what you have that we are missing. Also...what model companies am I missing? (thanks in advance)

Prometheum - perfect. For now, just start by making a list of what you have and posting it here. Ill compare with what we have and you can start scanning the missing or low res stuff right away. When its ready Ill send you my email.

Grayson - perfect...and the canopy masks would be great too!

THANKS!

I'm more then happy to help. I've now got a new personal email address. It's choff at bellsouth dot net. However I've been very busy with work since the first of the year and I think it's likely to stay that way for a while. So I'll be a little slow. Just let me know what you want and I can try to photograph a few kits each weekend or something.

Carl

D'Stance instructions are here:

Do you or will you have access to pictures that were posted in the old forums?

3 Bad Men in a Hidden Fortress had a GREAT web page with some stunning pictures of their completed kits. I've lost the links and the pictures so it might be possible their web page is still out there. I believe the link and maybe even some of those pictures were posted in the old forums.

I would love to see the 3 Bad Man kits. I heard so many great things about them but have never seen them or even know anything about it other than the fact that they made some great VF-1 battroids. :o

I atually got a very rare recast of the Three Bad Men VF-1S battroid and it looks fab B)) The style is different than of the Bandai or Hase kits!

Cool... that may be more rare then the original. I've seen several originals but to be honest I don't think I've ever seen this kit recasted. I'd love to see what you got. Could you post a pic?

Carl, do you or actually... anyone here have a picture of it built?

Ever since it was mentioned sometime ago I've been looking for information on but have found none. Could anyone describe it? Is it fixed posed? :huh:

Can someone please post pics of these kits?

Thanks

I thought I had pictures of mine posted here somewhere but I don't see them now. What you really want to see if the pictures of their completed kits. They had a dozen GREAT pictures on their web page which I had saved at one point but when I lost my last job I lost access to those pictures and the link to their home page which is probably gone by now but if one had the old link it might still be possible to find the pics in the internet archive. I know the link was posted in the old forums but I think Shawn is the only one with access to them at the moment and he's got very little free time so it's anyone guess when or if he'll have a chance to look for it. Till then I'll take a pic of mine to post. Give me 15 minutes. I think I know where they are at so this shouldn't take too long.

Carl
