    Amazing work - I will definitely come back to this for inspiration when I build mine.

    I just build this model, minus the lights. Looks great, very inspiring.

    Very cool! Please keep posting updates. Can't wait to see the final product.

    Cool color scheme!

    This is great. It is really helpful to see all the stages you are going through. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I have the kit on my shelf. It definitely makes me want to take it out and get to work.
  6. Steve71
    Amazing! Are there any kits left for purchase?
  7. Steve71
    I'm in!

    Amazing skull. I can't wait to see the finished fighter. Very inspiring.

    I'm definitely interested in this monster, and I mean monster, too.

    Amazing. Inspiring to see what you are doing. Thank you for sharing your project.

    Love to have one. If there's any left, can I sent you paypal like the last Inbids I ordered? It's like Christmas in August.
  12. Steve71
    Just saw this conversation. Can I still get one? New to this, but have paypal account.

    Are there any kits left? I'd love to get one.

    Just amazing work. I always liked that helicopter and now I like it even more.

    I've always had building my own Breetai on my list of projects - you set the bar high. That looks great. Well done and thanks for sharing.

    Amazing work. It makes me think of the 30's and the air racing craze at the time, though the VF-4 is a lot sleeker than a Gee Bee R1.

    Not sure what I can add that hasn't been said before, but looking at your images makes me respond. That is incredible. Thanks for sharing - It is so cool see a labor of love. Very inspirational.

    Great work. I have that kit in my closet and your build definitely makes me want to move it up in ranking for what to build next. What do you do to get the great panel lines?

    I'm a noob, too, and I find I have the most fun when I allow myself to suck. I botched a car a while back, baaaad, with the paint. BAck in the box and will deal with it later. Oh well. I get to learn about removing paint. I'm guessing you have learned a ton - and that's success to me. Then, when it really does turn out, it's all the sweeter. Keep modeling and thanks for sharing your work. I haven't had the balls yet to do that - compared to the most of thes posts, I think my stuff would look like it was painted with crayolas! (and I know the guys are pretty cool about supporting new modelers, too.) Soon, though, I will - maybe my old 1/100 Vertitech I started.

    Ahab, Now that is sweet - I think the Phalanx is underappreciated (at least I did at first). I have only just begun to think about the state of the mechs. Pristine, battle damaged, and now reconverted wrecks! A damaged Monster screams waterslide potential to me. Those are some big cannons/covered slides. Of course, one Zentradi fighter, nose to the ground and skeleton in body armor, small mimmei toy in his hand will have to be somewhere in the mix. Where did you start gaining the sculpting skills? I know I can get some basics at a local community college, and I like having teachers and projects to get me started. Your thoughts/experience...
  23. Steve71
    I'm definitely a jump in and learn along the way type of guy. I'm assuming I'd be working up to the build - and think scuplture garden - mechs you can walk around but not climb in. I even figured I could combine the two and use the animals to create a sense of scale. Or maybe make little 1/4 cars, so people get scale that way. Skills needed: #1 Welding, and how cool would it be to be welding parts for a Tomahawk, even at 1/4 scale? #2 - structural design so I don't kill myself under a bunch of crumpled metal. I could go the almost all plastic route, with metal support, too.
  24. Steve71
    No denying the nuts part, but I knew learning to weld would be a part of the project. Welded tubular steel - my first direction to go. Thanks. Check out my hero, builder of the Forevertron in Wisconsin: http://www.neatorama.com/2007/09/11/forevertron-worlds-largest-scrap-metal-sculpture-by-dr-evermor/ This guy was getting all the heavy machinery from a plant he worked at and turned it into great scupltures.

    Okay, my dream is to buy a small farm, mainly for the barn, and just paint, sculpt, etc., and write to pay the bills. I have two scuplture gardens in mind (If you're going to dream, put in the details). the first is animals of the african plains - giraffe, elephant, tigers, etc. The second is a Destroid Park. So, my question is, how would you build a 1/1 scale Destroid? Two immediate thoughts are pvc tubes for light framing and metal for the legs and core. Have some sort of simple turret like mechanism so the torso can move. My guidelines - for fun and need to survive all types of Minnesota outdoor weather. Your thoughts on buidling a 1/1 Destroid (skills needed, construction technique, resources, etc.) and what should go in a Destroid Park. Okay, 1/4 scale - that's more like it.
