How is the progress on the factory going? So are you still going to make the 1/18 scale YF-19 or VF-22 .... lol

For those of you who do not have the monster, jump on this, its an awesome kit, if the kit will come out by Dec I might jump on a second one.

Seems like a lot of people lost interest in the Factory, i am just about done with them, if there is a revival of interest in it i will mold and cast it for sure, i still want a handful of components for myself......

Just post some pics with your advances and let the interest rise by itself... :rolleyes:

This had dropped off the forums, there has been some renewed interest, any idea on what the price on the re-release might be if you do one and the time frame, I know you have had several other projects on your plate. (I wish I had jumped in on an gniw-X when you did those:( )

The 2nd run is still on the table but i have been just non stop busy...really for the last 2 years or so....I think the 2nd run will be limited to just about 10-15 kits and that will be it. I do really want to get back to some Macross related kits soon, time just goes by so fast. I just got back from my first vacation in a few years (disneyworld with the family) and did a lot of thinking when i was out there, i want to start doing smaller runs of more specialized stuff including the factory, which i just pulled out for the first time in about 6 months.....

In all likelyhood it will be spring before i can get to cast the last run of these, casting time in the winter is limited and i have some other stuff that needs to be cast up before these, including the factory. I am spending the down time on some scratch build projects, 2 non macross, and 1 BIG macross scratchbuild that if there is enough interest in will be a kit.......

Any updates on this?

I would be interested in a kit...last thing I saw it was ~$300 (USD?)...

Are any piccies available of the kit?

Does anyone know of any 1/72 Zentradi Officer Pods (Glaug / Marauder MAD3R - Macross / Battletech))

Welcome Cranky (I hope you're not always like that :rolleyes: )

mslz22, what's the other kit you're possibly working on if there's enough interest (VA-3)? - MT

IIRC a certain large transformable living quarters was mentioned. ;)

Cranky spots are still available, i guess i should start a running 2nd run list in the thread, the price will likely be about $275.00 + shipping (about $20.00 fedex in the usa) that includes the decals. Thats only $25.00 more than the last run due to resin cost, increase.

I will look into the VA-3 if John is not going to do it, I have a number of "dream" macross projects, the SDF-1 in a large scale is one of them, but the one that i am most motivated about right now is a 1/24 scale VF-1, I know not another VF1 but right now i have been feeling i need to focus on getting on a project that i am really motivated about, otherwise they seem to fall to the wayside...plus i may have help with the VF1 project so all the scratchbuilding would not be left up to me alone, moving the project along faster.....

If i wind up kitting the VF-1 the first thing i would want to do is get the basic VF-1 up and running to allow for the lowest price point for people who want one, from there i would like to start addding the super armor etc....I don't know how many people would want a VF-1 let alone the Elintseeker in that scale, but it's something i would look into......

I would jump on the 1/24 VF-1..... But mike would you consider making a 1/24 VE-1 Elintseeker? That would be crazy or even a VEFR-1

At least with a VF-1 you don't need to make special molds for different types except 2 seaters which isnt that big a difference. All the extra stuff is just bolt ons.

What ever you make I'm sure it will be great.

Hope I'm still #2 on the list for the Monster Mike! Looking forward to getting my hands on one of these babies.

Also a 1/24th VF-1 sounds pretty damn cool. I'm interested although I would like to know a possible price first before I commit and say I'll take one.

AS for the VA-3 I would love a couple of these. I do resin casting part time, and would be interested in casting it up if need be.

Mike, I bought your X-wing kit just after you'd taken it over from Scott and added the new wing joiner which was a nice touch; I was pleased with the quality. Great to see you've done something about some of the accuracy issues since then too. FWIW I reckon the wing chord is slightly short also, but not by a lot, maybe 3-4mm - I just built my leading edges up with a couple of strips of styrene, easy.

How did I get so off-topic? I was going to say - if I'm not too late can I please, please be on the Monster list too? I love that thing.

Also, a 1/24 Elintseeker or Strike or Super would be killer. Or even a D. Or especially a Super Ostrich, LOL! Definitely a stock ship is the way to go first off, but you could do modular conversion sets pretty easily, right?

Cheers,

Martyn
