  1. Mud is done . Check out the sag on these tracks. The benefit of link by link construction. I made the mud out of a mix of acrylic artists texture paste mixed to my liking with Tamiya XF62 olive drab. The paste is like thick white paint so it lightens the OD to a great mud khaki color.

    That's awesome!! :o

  2. I thought Shawn specifically asked the members not to post recast threads?

    But maybe I misunderstood.

    I thought it was more like "tone it down for a while", targetted towards models AND toys, but I may have misunderstood also.

    Since I keep being too late and missing out whenever an original pops up for sale, like Valk009's, this is tempting :unsure: ... I would still fork over for an original at asking price though, like Valk009's B))

  3. :lol: OK, HWR MKII & Viceland, you guys win :lol: I went and get a new camera this weekend. So I experimented a bit with the macroshots and this is the result. The VF1 seat.

    Glad we could be of service :p ... you have reacted well to our peer pressure, you are now totally under our mind control :ph34r::ph34r: You will receive further instructions once you have taken many more excellent pics of your 1/48 UD, please standby.

    ;):lol:

  4. ...and I would hardly call this a kit-bash <_< , even though a few parts from other kits have been used due to their convenient shape (saving the time of having to sculpt them, which he proved by now he would have no problem doing), this is a fine example of pure scratchbuilding and sculpting talent B))

  5. I went over to John's to pick up my 2 Regults this week-end, and man are they awesome!!! I got one with clear parts and one with solid parts, although I don't know if I'll build the one with the clear parts "clear" yet, it has a lot of potential for a really cool effects.

    The pictures John posted of his built-up Regult does not do it justice whatsoever, I'm not bashing John's picture taking abilities here, just saying how much better it looks in person. I can't wait for the add-ons, but John's REALLY busy as I saw in person, so we'll all hafto be patient and let John breathe a little.

    John, thanks so much for welcoming me into your lair once again, and thanks especially for making these incredible kits for Macross and CaptainAmerica fans alike!! :D

  6. Awesome Monster man. I'm pretty speechless at its size. 1/72 scale. What is the weight of that thing.

    huh... it's 1/100 scale, read the first post again.

    Still very impressive, but I'm gonna be patient and wait for that "other" Monster in that "other" scale that should be discussed in "other" threads only.

  7. Just got a crappy camera and I can't decide between a new camera or a Resin kit from an ATLAS battlemech from Armorcast. BUT i also used my old reflex. See if I can scan in some pictures

    OK Jade, forget the battlemech for now and get a decent digital camera... please!!! :lol::pB))

  8. I'd like to nominate jezter101 to the list, excellent at fixing International Postal Fiascos, A+++. Lets just say I wish my new Hase kits could collect frequent flyer miles :rolleyes:, they only travelled about 27650 miles to get here!!! :blink: (Singapore-Gatineau, insert Postal Office screw-up here, Gatineau-Singapore and finally, Singapore-Gatineau)

    The following MW Greats have been mentioned here many times over, but I would like to add some more kind words towards Mike (mslz22), for making a Rebel Scum's dream come true, and Gene (haterist) for changing the way I display my stuff for the better.

  9. Funny, Jeffrey sent me a message last month saying he needed at least 20 orders before he could get production restarted on this kit.

    Anyways, something like this is already in the works by Neova, and it seems it will be direct from G-Systems, no middle-man.

    A flaw was found in the kit by jadefalconguard, he and Neova are co-operating to document this and submit a fix to G-Systems and hopefully get them to modify their masters before they go ahead and make new molds for eventual new kit orders.

    See this thread...

    From what I can tell, Neova was asking for a minimum of 15 orders too, he already has 7 to 8 orders, maybe more, but nothing official anywhere I could find. I have also shown interest to buy 2 kits, but haven't received a reply from Neova as of yet. In fact, Neova hasn't posted on MW since the end of March. Jade is inquiring.

    I myself would rather wait a bit to see if Neova and Jade are successful in getting improvements done to this kit. I can be patient, can any of you?

    Jeffrey had also assured me the special hardened resin landing gear can handle the load no problem.

  10. Are we starting a waiting list for these kits?  If so I want on it.

    Guys.  This board is really rockin'.  There is so much talent here that keeps growing and getting more sophisticated every year.  All my favorite projects to watch are on this board.

    Keep up the great work. I never even knew about that Aerowing kit.  And I spend hours on the Spachip modeling boards.

    Here, here.

    I love these scratchbuilding/build-up threads, I just eat'em up and learn as much as I can from them so I can apply any new ideas and techniques to my own projects.

    Another thing I love is encouraging the "Garage Kit" industry by buying little jems like these created by extremely talented craftsmen, I am therefore in line behind Coby and Grayson if you ever decide to make this into a kit :p

  11. This is what you mean right? How big is it built up? Maybe Mechleader can answer some Q's

    From the Mechleader collection, top left

    ¨¨¨¨Thread Highjack

    I'm currently gathering any God Phoenix reference pics (a la top, side, front, back, bottom view type, cutaway, perspective, etc.) and ship dimension info. PM or e-mail me, or just post them here.

    If you're patient, something might become reality by late fall/early winter 2005, prolly bigger than the Imai kit :DB))

    Sorry for highjacking your thread negrag :unsure:

    End of thread highjack¨¨¨¨

  12. Maybe someone touched on this earlier, and I won't be the one to go through a 26 page thread to find out, but has anyone kept a tally on the overall total Yammies owned by MW members that posted thier #'s in this thread? It would be interesting to find out what global % of Yamato Macross toy released stock is owned by MW members.

  13. Actually, I think Neova wants to approach G-System about letting him fix their UD masters and get them to make new molds so new kits can be made available (especially to us :D ). The actual casting would be handled by G-System, thanks to efforts made by Neova.
