mslz22 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 I really don't know what the PD scale is, it's studio scale for whatever that is worth, I would guess like between 1/3 and 1/2 scale. It's way to big to be 1/4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslz22 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Got the first rough in pics for the standing pilot from the sculptor, need some smoothing over but he's getting there. I hope to finish up the last little bits on the actual boss pod today and get them in rubber this week. The pilot will be available as an add on when it makes it's way to me. thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astralith Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 You know if Ray Harryhausen could have gotten his hands on models like these maybe we'd have had a Macross or Clash of the Titans Bionoids live action movie in the late 80's and maybe a CGI remake by now. Mslz22, your next project must be a working time machine... 1:1 scale. (not instigating an HG rant here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mslz22 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Nothing to show today but wanted to post that this pattern is done, and the last of the molds have just been poured.....hopefully they will all work. It's a big relief to get those done! I got held up a little bit with another round of Probe Droid casting, those are done , I have a couple of standard pods to ship out this week then i should be able to concentrate for a few days to build the first kit... mike Edited July 16, 2012 by mslz22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mslz22 Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 All the molds are done and I started a test build right before my vacation, I'm back now and just getting back into the swing of things today. I have a few odds and ends on other casting work to finish up then i will be able to really devote some time to getting this off the ground. Still waiting on some pics from the sculptor on the pilot figure, it's a bit overdue at this point. thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking for something that I could use to gauge it's size. I'm amazed I saw it at all with all that epic gloriousness in front of it.

mslz22 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'll start taking some orders after i finish this test shot. Little more work here, I finished up the first foot, painted it up and secured it to a working platform, secured from underneath with 2 countersunk screws. There is no detail on the bottom of the feet, I did not see any possible way that something this giant would be able to be securely displayed with any part of the feet up. Also note the main cannon barrel, it's cast with a 3/8 hollow brass tube in the center. This will need to be trimmed in the front only, the back part will pass thru the cannon support and into the main back cannon thingy. thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
