I'd most likely get a set. I'm not a big HMr collector, so I'd probably only get one, but as with anything, it really depends on the price. As @Sanity is Optional has already said, I too, am a little worried about the materials. 3D printed material, even when it claims to be ABS like, doesn't hold up to that. There are materials that have the same properties, but those are quite pricey. As it is 3D printed, as long as that brings down the price, I'd still like to decorate my only HMr. Now, if you are considering a 1/60 kit, that I definitely can get behind.

That's cool and all, but honestly, if he has a panel, that'd be the only thing I'd be interested in seeing there. Aside from that, maybe getting an autograph would be cool on a poster, but meh. I already have a couple.

I'd have to watch the older version that I have to do some comparisons, but I believe I found a couple parts that may be in question. In seeing this new release now twice, there seems to be a couple parts I don't remember from the original. I know the part where they inserted Sheryl Nome's earrings into the stand that Mao is in front of with her parents was inserted way later on, that is in this one, but I gotta confirm if there is, in fact, scenes that may have been cut from the original.

Oh, I don't see my anticipation going away for this release. I have a feeling they didn't show it at WF due to the updated version of this, and in looking at the new pictures, this looks like it's one of the more final designs (not final, but closer). It does look like the gun may not be closed inside and/or locked in. I don't know if it has a retracting handle, but that could also be a reason, not wanting to break these parts. Also could be the same thing for the rear wheels, but from this image, it does look like they should be about 3+mm longer. The front gear doesn't look extended right, but maybe for the same reasons as the gun.

I was disappointed with the no show at Wonderfest 24, but hopefully it was due to getting to this point.

You may want to post this in the workshop.

The videos are actually quite inspiring. It did remind me of what I really want (just a really tough, sturdy version). I did start working on the space for the leg inserts. While I will be using something almost the exact same for how the legs slide, I'm going to possible use a guide system that may be totally independent of the frame itself, something that one can put the legs into the slider (which will have tension points), and make that a unit in and of itself that then is attached to the body. That will allow better detailing to be done on the exterior of that, and allow the builder to create the right tension. It may also allow, once I spend time, to look at materials that will allow better tension without as much wear and tear. Project isn't dead at all. And thank you for sharing those. I do have those kits. I should actually build them at some point like this guy did. Also, thanks to the rest of you. It's all of you that keep me inspired and makes me want to get back into what I'm doing with this. I'll probably need someone to sculpt out a really good Kei and Olson for those options, as well as decals when that time comes.

I wanted to leave it a bit vague. I'm sure people who saw this were thinking valkyrie related and whatnot, so I didn't want to ruin the surprise. The kit is literally only 4 parts, so it's a very straight forward kit.

Wow, I'm really impressed with the detail in these. Are these going to be static models, or will you be making them to have articulation, like rolling wheels, folding wings, and maybe the ability to make it with landing gears up or down?

So, while I was going through aisle by aisle at Wonderfestival Japan last month, I happened to stumble upon one of these. I thought they were sold out, or was told they were, but I managed to score a 1/1 scale swan mic that Basara and Mylene use in the series

Ugh, I should've been clearer in my editing. It's ordered from someone that gets them. It's preordered and will be enroute, LOL. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd take some time to picture all the books, mooks, and so on, but at the same time, since 99% of them are probably already documented online, I don't see a reason to. Nevertheless, it's cool to look inside of many of these from time to time. I should probably do the same with all 100+ posters I have, but same dilema.

I have a few of these books, but may be looking at getting some more of them. I like that they have the crossover work showing really detailed images. I have the Patlabor crossover enroute now, but here's the ones I have...

I hope you don't think that I was expecting them to be a certain way. They look great. With small scale prints and figures, they almost can't look like they're anime accurate. Have you seen Arcadia's Macross 7 characters? They have the shape of the figures, but not too accurate face wise. In any case, I know you've been working on the other things. It's all looking great. Can't wait to see what you do next with these and your future projects.

The bike design looks really good. All the figures look pretty good, too. I like the riding/stationery options. As I do like seeing the Guld figure, Isamu's pilot face looks a little off. It might be the eyes. However, as I print these in small scale, I don't go for super accurate figures, as the painting process is impossible to get them anime accurate. For that, these are great. Awesome work.

I guess I can now look at getting an SDF-1. I keep putting it off due to not being as interested in ships as toys, but every once in awhile, I feel like I should just have one. In any case, as I was at Wonderfest, I'm a bit disappointed in Arcadia and what they had on display. They didn't even show the Lynn Minmay figure, and I was waiting on that one just as much as the others. That is an easy money maker.
