  1. Thanks Mike i´m glad you liked the heads :D .

    Actually yeah Jerry sold most of my recast stuff in the USA back then. I really like the 1/55 so yeah pretty much everything i´ve done has been for those.

    Did do some VF1S heads (1/48) too.

    I´ll shortly update my website ( as well as i can lol i´m not a web pro :D ) I´ll post on MW some of my stuff when i have some armor complete. First will be the Ostrich.

    I want to do some custom stuff on that like that antena and maybe even make some structural change. I always though it should be a tad bit fatter for example.

    Also the ARm armor i want to modilfy. never cared for that very breakable clip.

    I would love to see more custom 1/55. Strange thing is that i haven´t seen a lot of my armor painted and such and i did sell a lot of those back in the days.

    I really like jung´s customs too . I still have some custom decals aswell, someone made those for my elint seeker/Ostrich conversion kits .

    Can´t for the live of me remember his name :) i´m getting old lol :p

  2. Hey there. i just came back from my very short summer hollidays and saw this post.

    I got to say that looks great all the stuff you've done on these 1\55. Actually back in the days there were 2 Rob's doing some recasting so it can get a bit confusing heh.

    I'm obviously the Rob from Robsthingies.com and yes i'm getting back to recasting i actually (re)did a whole lot of molds already but this is your thread so i won't talk about

    That . :D

    I guess everything is invented already LOL. the other day i was casting the arm armor of my Ostrich and found that it won't work for some reissues and such and

    was thinking about changing it to a clip on system like the Elint armor has but i suppose this is that same system right? I'm going to make it so anyways as it IS a better system.

    BTW i spoke with EXO about what can and can't be sold and i understood as long as it is modified it's okay. They don't permit the strait recasts anymore though. In the end everything is based on

    the origenal stuff so with that rule you couldn't sell any parts at all i guess. Luckaly it doesn't seem to be that stricked. Pardon my english it's not my native lenguage. :)

    Again i love seeing the 1/55 getting some love at it's still my favorite. Keep these custom 1/55's going .

  3. Hi there. wow always cool to see that stuff heh at least what i see there is partialy my recast right?

    The legs look like origenal parts . I know i was experimenting with color casting but i don´t think i ever got it that right hah. :lol:

  4. Hey guys.

    Hah yeah it was because of you Mazinger that i came back to Macross and casting/customizing/recasting.

    I can of course understand the issues with copyright i guess when you have to draw a line you have to draw it.

    Havn´t seen anyone using their licences to make more chunkey monkey´s or their armor´s heh. *Hint to Bandai* :p

    I guess ill have to start customize the chunky monkey stuff hah.

    Thanks for the explanation Exo. I also wanted to continue the SDP but i saw a beautifull SDP already . is the SDP actualy copyright?

    Wasn´t that a fanmade ?

    AAAh yeah ValkyrieExchange , there was Jerry´s site vf1x i still have great memories of the time i was in LA for the MW con.

    Must say i wasn´t at my best back then, ( probably some of you guys that met me there noticed ) one of the reasons i left Macross then i had on my shoulders already when i was in LA.

    I had a hugh depression back then that lasted about 2 years. Darn thing about these things is that you don´t see it comming.

    At least i didn´t.

    The other was more simple ...cash hehehe Macross was becomming a big money pitt , new toys comming out and all. Was constructing

    my new house back then too . Resin and molding silicone was pretty expensive 10 years ago ( at least it was here ) so i just fell in the black hole hahaha.

    Oh well lets see what we can make heh.

  5. Okay i´m not showing anything here but i just wanted to say hi to every one as i´ve been away for a loooong time (what 13 years now?)

    Not even sure if the old guys from back in the days are still here .

    I didn´t realy know where to put this as there seems to be no *general talk about whatever* forums unless i just have a bad eye sight hehehe. :)

    I do have a question that you could consider belongs here, What happend to all the recasting stuff that always was on MW? i see it´s forbidden now?

    Are there any threads explaining to how this came to be? i can´t seem to find them. I did find some threads about how i fell in the macross black hole ahahaha .

    I liked that. B)) .

    I was contacted for some of my custom heads and armor recasts last week and it kinda tickled me to get back to my old hobby. Hoped to relive some of those ol

    glory days heh :lol: . Seems like those are gone then :wacko: .

    BTW mods if this is in the wrong section then i´m sorry, feel free to move it .

    Special greetings to Shawn and Graham who i see are still here after all these years.

    Greatings to Everybody.

  6. Okay so i know this is an old thread but i just wanted to say WOW, very beautifully made .

    I started this project like 10 to 13 years ago . Never completed it .

    I don´t think mine would have been as good as this one though. I always tryed to keep the casting side of it in my head.

    Great work.

    Rob

  7. Hi guys long time no see.

    My 2 cents would be that mask and ventilate as if u use that mask but use the glue/resin/whatever stuff to long without venting u will breath it in still afterwards when u take it off.

    This is a very good and informing thread and should be taken very serious.

    I know what im talking about ;) So do they .

  8. okay i dont know if u know of it but the registrar im with actually was now is registerfly.com but as they are beeing closed down im transfering my domain elswere ,so

    WWW.ROBSTHINGIES.COM is NOT working for now im opening this domain

    WWW.ROBSTHINGIES.NET as a temp messure ,it might not be up yet so please be patient.

    I also am trying to renew the site so it can be some time before its back on.

    Thanks for the interest.

    Rob

  9. Hey guys.

    Actually isnt that big figure cast in yellow there also made be me ;) ?

    Long time no see guys :)

    Btw ill check my leftovers i might have a 1/48 recast somewhere. Still i didn't recast the eye piece in clear resin so that has to be painted.

  10. Hello:

    Now seeding:

    Macross 7 series including ova s , movies, a few extras

    12.35 gb, so this could take a month.

    Macross :  DYRL has beed seeded, so that just leaves Macross 7 series.

    Macross Zero and Macross 7 series can be also downloaded with these macross bittorrents.

    So, basically that's all the Macross stuff I have.

    I was thinking once all the macross stuff is seeded that if someone else would like to download, then they could make a request on this discussion thread and anybody who has a copy of the requested file could also use Azureus software and the macross bittorrent to share macross stuff.  I would stay online as an Azureus file server, but other people would be sharing their internet bandwidth and downloads would be much speedier.

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Currently seeding bittorrents:

    1. Macross games

    2. Macross miscellaneous (paper models, manga, pictures, etc.)

    3. Macross music (sdf, m+, m2, mdyrl, m7, etc.)

    4. Macross miscellaneous Video (20th anniversary, mecha graffitti, etc.)

    5. Macross: Do you remember love? , Flashback 2012, DYRL extra videos

    6. Macross Zero Episode 1-5

    7. Macross 7 series including ova s , movies, a few extras

    389569[/snapback]

    okay i always use azureus so i will download some stuff and let that on my server .

    i just pluged a new 160 gb drive so that should be able to hold some stuff.

    i could then throw it on an ftp server if u want but the upload here in spain is low (like 20KBs) (like 200kbits/s) so u can get like 700 mb overnight but if there are more then one connected well u can gues :)

    ive been away for a year or so but as i finaly moved in my new house i will have some more free time *sigh*

  11. Athlon T Bird 1.2

    Geforce 2 64MB RAM vid

    512M DDR RAM

    So basically, not a real pump system, but itdoes the job. Looking to move into the P4 arena soon and possibly aPCI Bus vid card. Would be nice.

    This render in general was 3000 x 2000 so it took a long time. Was trying to get it to squeeze as mcuh detail out of the render as possible. The one posted here is a reduced copy.

    Using Mental Ray with Caustics and GI, Ray Tracing and well.. basically,every feature pumped to the MAX. Wish it had HDRI.

    :Dat

    hmm yeah the newer gf 6800gt should be transformable to a real quadro fx4000.

    i think those are only in pcx not sure though.

    btw that gf 2 should be a brease to change it into a pro card.

    and allthough the benchmarks are not totaly real when you change it to a quadro you notice a big increase in speed when modeling , at least i did with my old gf4 ti4400.

    hmm all that stuff in mental ray im not sure how to use it yet as for now im still learning how to model and dont want to spend to much time (that i dont have) yet on learning how to render.

    that time will come :)

    i am thinking on how to do a proper daylighting though as mine stinks ;)

    hey thanks those pics will most likely help me out also on how to model the parts together as for now they all hang in the air lol.

  12. only thing i can say is that the best experiance i had with clear resin was with epoxy resin not the polyurethane one as the one i tryed out did nothing but give bubbles.

    can be it wasnt compatible with the rtv i used but the epoxy didnt minded it ;)

    the mold burns out quick though as its really nasty stuff.

  13. omg dont you have a rar file with alot of those type of renderings?

    btw what kind of pc do you have? 14 h for a rendering ?wow you must a buttload of bitmaps and lightefects in there.

    my pc specs.

    p4 2.8 ht 800 fsb

    dual band 1gb 400mhz ram

    graphics card fx 5900xt>softquadro fx3000

  14. doh?? if i ask that to my wife there will surtainly be no more sdp project.

    you know why dont you?

    cuz i would be dead thats why :D:D

    come on fulcy dont sweat it ,i cant help it that this stuff shines more :lol::lol:

    now way that this is cooler then fulcys stuff im sure his stuff will look more pro then whatever i can make of this :lol:

  15. ow come on dude 10 years?? :lol:

    ill finish my house by the end of this year most likely and then i will spend alot more time on this project .

    i too hope ill finish it :D
