  1. oh crap, that's right, it's tonight, guess i better dvr it since i have to work. 357936[/snapback] Oh oh oh checking torrent sites now..... On the flip side they have just got arround to showing the first half of series 2 on the U.K sat channels. the first one is on over the weekend. Shame Ive seen them already
  2. Damn, someone focked up that the illustration on the second pic. Still would like to see these come to fruition. 357500[/snapback] I quite like the green, it would look great on a green Joons coloured Valk or the custom valk with Zentradi colours and logo.
  3. Wow I thought I`d seen all the kits in that series.
  4. Yeah a gashapon sized Vf1.. That would be nice.
  5. I want to see your chess set. cant help with the battletech Crusader as its the one I could nt get. Got most of the rest. If you are really stuck send one over to me and I will get my old boss to cast you one He makes centrifuge casts in lead and silver.
  6. Nice! I thought about a CF GBP Valk some time ago. Dang you beat me to it. Good Job
  7. Well some one called it the Zeros on t.v last night but some are still calling it the naughties. kinda sounds a bit sauded to me on par with swinging sixties. I dont know you decide.
  8. Happy new year to all Macross World. Hope it was a good night for you all.
  9. Not sure if its been asked but does any one have the line drawings for the VF-17 at all. I ve had a good look through my collection and cant find one.
  10. This Cain is certainly unhinged enough to do that sort of thing. Kinda like to old one he was not fireing on all cyliners, but more John Waynne in space though. Eaither way I think a few people are gonna die, toasters as well. 6 days and counting Depending on where in the world you are. Happy New year to you all.
  11. Hell they`re all Cylons the only real people are the Cylons.
  12. Thanks for the info Captian. Well i ws thinking that the catalyst may be the key to it all. I was mixing in 100g ammounts ( I didnt want to make too much in one go ) and the instructions said that it should be mixed at 2 - 4% well according to the info sheet that was 80 drops of catalyst. That ammount turned it into a lake. So I figured that next time I would use less say 60 drops. If it dosent start to go stringy in a few mins then hopefully I will be o.k. The manufactures web site is partially down at the moment so I cant get to talk to them. Looking at the whole release agent area what is best. I have heard it all from Dont bother to use cooking oil from a spray can to go out and get silicone relese spray. As there are several Professional casters here at M.W I think I would trust you guys more as firstly you do it for a living and secondly you have had experience casting the sort of stuff Im gonna cast, not like all the other info I have got from people casting model trains and Dungeons and Dragons figures
  13. Woah I thought that sort of thing was reserved for Brighton and some parts of London or San Francisco if your American. Seriously I thought Shefield was above that.
  14. I have just had an idea for your next project one of these :- Vf Girl

    Valkyrie Girl

    Excellent work. I have always wondered why no manufacturers have ever made these. After all there are pictures of these "mecha" allover the place. Well gashapon would be an extremely usefull source of these type figures for raw parts. There are lots of girl Gashapon colllections to source from.
  16. Well this year when I was in Tokyo every day I saw this girl who dress like that all the time she looked like the flower girl in M7. My friend who lives there said she is like that all the time she has all the dresses and hats and always carries flowers and her frilly umbrella. unfortunately I didnt have my camera with me when ever I saw her. Next year I will get a photo of her.
  17. Well I dont think my 3d modeling skills are up to scratch really. What I really meant by my post was for the other readers to know what you were after. Just one thought though Have you got a list of the craft you have used so far ? I know that in the last few hundred post the info is there but may be it would help as more mortal types, you never know one of us may be able to supply you with pictures etc.
  18. Warming up my torrent computer now. Hopefully someone will post it quickly so I can get it here in Blighty.
  19. Well I did a test cast using my RTV using some plastic pipe for mold wall and the cast up side dowm method using some molding clay as a negative for the pouring funnel. It cast up o.k apart for a few voids which didnt go off. I can asume that these voids are due to fixing problems with the activator it was very hard to get it to stay mixed. The docs with the silicone said it had a pot life of 30 mins and a curing time of 3-4 hours at 60-70 F . Well that was bull as it started to go off in the pot while I was still mixing in the activator. I was working in my outside workshop in about 6 c so I thought I should have had longer. Well anyway this method my not have been the best but as I only needed one cast from this mold so if it fails after that then no worries. Yesterday afternoon was spent kneeding moldling clay and rolling it all into a paving slab sized block. I have now made new molds which are shuttered in and sealed. I am going to cast the first sides tomorrow and then using the same shuttering the other sides as soon as it is ready. I think the two part molds are the best as they allow you to fully cover the casting area with release agent whereas the tube type, where the mold is not fully cut in half it is always the risk you have missed a bit. It certainly is a lot more costly when you have to pay for your own casting supplies and get more inventive casting non regular shapes. I love the smell of latex gloves and disposable plastic cups NOT!
  20. Looking good so far nice colour and yes they are huge they are a nice kit though.
  21. Found this on a web site I sometimes look at It shows a flash movie with some cos play charaters in most of which are not Gundam, but the best one is right at the begining. You will need to look at it with I.E and not Fire fox as it dosnt seem to work otherwise. Worth a look though cosplay
  22. Maybe you should post here what exactly you need to be before you can be called a DEV, that way it might reduce the confusion e.t.c Also if some one then discovers that they have something to offer and could become a Dev then they will know.
  23. No worries. The DRM can be got round ( sometimes )depending on the format they post it in. If there is a need for web space then I could help provided its not 100`s of megs. we have a fair bit of space on our web server at work but I cant nick it all with the avatars and eBay pics and my holiday snaps sooner or later someone will notice. Good job Im the web Dev and server manager, I get to doctor all the ISP reports before my boss sees them.
