It looks very subdued in those colours, I dont mean I dont like it its very different. From first seeing the thread I was thinking oh another sundowners type custom, how wrong was I . Great job.

That could be a great thing for some one looking to get into film work. Heck Im interested how do I enter ?

That could be good although throwing High calibre actors at a script doesnt always make a good box office hit..... Ehem!! Burn After Reading !!!!Cough!!! I want that part of my life back and the money I paid too.

Looks well done to me. You managed to get the Skull logo on the back in one peice

I have a firmware that performs rom dumps to memory cards. IIRC you can also put UMD video through it.

If you can find it the best rattle can type paint is called Krylon, it is also called Plasticote in some counties. Plenty of colours and also a good Clear Gloss version as well. Good work and go for it on the next one

One word FAME WTF I am old enought to remember this when it came out in the early 80's OMG why. Jumping on the High school musical bandwagon.

Paper printy goodness I love paper craft.

I guess its the second one to have ever been made

As if you better check the bulb in your lamp as I know you'll need it to light up.

Im fairly sure that if you made PE for the Vf1 you'd sell it especially if your work is as good as for the VF25. But I recon if you did decals for the Yammies you will be on to a winner

If the UMD does turn out to be region locked Im fairly sure I can be copied off and re-encoded so that you can watch it off a memorystick, IIRC this is something a friend of mine has done before.

Theres nothing quite like the noise that comes from the Pachinko floor in the arcade in Shinjuku when all the business types finnish work and put all their hard earned into getting trays of silver balls, that mix of techo/idol pop and metal pinging mixed with the hum of neon.

The Chunky Mafia are proud of you Good job there and a nice alternative paint job.

Looking good, sometimes it pays to walk away for a bit. I've not touched my work now for several months, although I have moved house and started a new job so have not had time to unpack or work on anything, but I have several ideas running round for when I do recomence work. Had I just continued I would have not have though up a couple of them.

For those who are interested, I once went for a job at Ral Partha and ultimately ended up working at a similar company, to cast your own figures in the same way you will need a smelting pot to melt the lead or Ralidium, we used moslty ingots of plumbers solder as it doesnt have any flux in it. then you'll need a centifugal casting machine these are esentially a mechanisum like a potters wheel with three clamps on to clamp down your two part mold and ahole in the lid to let you pour in you mix. The big part that'll set you back the big bucks is the compression plates that heats and cures your un-vulcanised rubber disks you will make your molds from. We used to place the masters on the base and then cover them with the top part compress heat and then cut sprews into the mold. the center part has a plug put in to form the pour and spin chambers. The only problem is you will need to use actual metal masters. This is only an issue if you dont have metal originals to cast from. We made lots of space marines and some orcs, I wanted to make some Battle tech stuff for personal consumption but was never allowed to by the management. Shame of it is I should have just done it on the sly Most of our centrifugal casting machines came from a company in New York state, You could probably with the exception of the vulcaniser make all you need from junk or other such stuff. You could consider using Silicon RTV instead of Rubber as this would be easier and allow the use of non metal masters. Some of the casting kit has been on eBay in the past.

Im sure that many of us here would walk there if we were guaranted it would happen.

Eat tungstun death missiles

There is some outstanding work on that site.

Heck I'd settle for a set of 1/72 ones

Great find there old chap. This is the only Wave 1/72 I dont have I got a few of the standard Kai but nothing with the sound boosters There are quite a few mods there over the standard issue booster model. I agree there should be more love for this one A Yammie one would be great. Thanks for posting

Is HG or its posible parent company listed, I mean if it is buying shares in it could get you an insider view and if enough people from the various fandom comunites we caould actuall influence at board level.

mmmm interesting. I'd love one of those in a nice large scale, as would everyone. Im fairly sure that is the only city 7 model ever made, coolio

Looks Great to me, more pictures please.

Chances are that this will be as good as the original first run, so if you didnt get it last time round best put your name down. Could this indeed be the start of a regular reissue thing, I dont know, maybe, but only if the molds hold out
