    Yes I am!! It's my first time scratchbuilding/sculpting a figure. It's my interpretation of a 1/60 DYRL? zentran (I'm doing it the same height as a 1/60 VF-1 v2.

    Well, a couple years ago (more than a couple) I started sculpting the Mospeada Iigaa and Gosu, but the Captain also started sculpting the whole Inbit line :D And Sean can sculpt any subject while he is sleeping so I put them on hold.

    Here is a crude mock up (I've done more progress since this pic)

    This is looking great, Ignacio. Looking forward to seeing more updates on it

    Public Service Announcement for anyone who is having their Roy sent to Tenso for shipping to the US

    It looks like Tenso *finally* made DHL a standard shipping option, which is nice. Earlier this year you had to submit a special request for them to use it. DHL and "Surface Mail/International" are the only US options right now. Here are the price breakdowns:

    • Package Handling Fee: ¥1150
    • DHL: ¥5525
    • Surface: ¥2900

    The handling fee is added to any shipping option you choose, and their shipping rates tend to be a little higher than you might find elsewhere. It's how they make a profit on giving you a free domestic shipping address. These numbers are typical for Tenso, but I wanted to pass the info along for anyone who hasn't used them before and is thinking of doing so.

    Thanks for that. I got shipping confirmation from AJ, and I sent it to a Tenso address. I hope their shipping rates to Chile are around the same you listed there.

    Cute, but a total rip off. At 129USD, you'd probably be able to build this set using real Lego's for the same amount of money. Download yourself LDD or Stud.io and you can rebuild the set based on the pictures. That's what those Chinese knock off companies do anyway with all the HOT sets on LEGO Ideas.

     

    That's why I'll never buy a product from them. They rebuild sets based on pictures the original creator posted, and the result is just garbage. 

    Since most designers don't post pictures of the internal structures, the copy cats have to improvise. What you get are disasters like the Lepin Gundam.

     

    I know. That's why even though those kits may be tempting, I never actually buy them
