This was hand made.

Wow! That's more of a posative response than I was expecting. I'll go digging for the original pattern tonight.

Wo Hoooo!

I can see you making several kit's off of this. Maybe a Hikaru Pilot figure could be done in the future too. This project really has me excited.

This is a really awesome model. I had no idea there was this much modeling going on outside the "model" section of the board. (Stupid me I guess. )

I was trying to be nice about it.

It sounds like a one-off kind of project to me really.

Oooh! Along with the cockpit, are there any landing gear references? That would be cool IMHO and then I would definitely need two!

I have to think that because these are space only, landing gear wouldn't exist on them. I imagine that they are hung from racks like Tie-Fighters in Star Wars. At the most they may have some kind of extending slabs that can be magnetized for storage and maintanance.

I have to make changes. I "retired" the first version. I'v got a few ideas running through my head for it.

Works for me.

I haven't seen on in a long time. That build up looks great.

When I was doing this the first time, I was asked to do a cockpit. At the time I was adamant about sticking only to what was seen in line art and in the animation. That wasn't very much... I have since been enjoying John's interperetations of the Tactical Pods and Destroids. So for me the cockpit will be the biggest challenge. (Mainly in design not execution.) It would add to the final cost in the end though. And I would really have to consider what to do with the glazing.

The Lancer is manned.

The price might be about $65-$85. Not sure. Definately less than $165.

lol, I want you to keep going and build a full 1/8 valk... exceptional work there!

That would be a cool idea...

I only just now poped my head into this section of the board. This is one of the coolest projects on the enitre board.

These will be sold through Hobbyfan right?

So should I do a version 1.5 of my Lancer II kit? I'm thinking that I should update the detailing to Capn' America's style. I could invent a cockpit as well.

I have one spare classic Regult and spare Zentran pilots. Seated and Standing. They're not cheap but they are NICE!

I am in both as a matter of fact.

Great news.

I'm looking for the Hot Toys Colonial Marines. I have a Drake coming but would like one of the other guys if possible.

Thanks.

Doesnt matter. Bandai doesnt know how to do fine details and panel lines like hasegawa. Im sick of them producing only snap kits that are

LIE! Have you looked at the Hardgraph line of 1/35th scale Gundam ground subjects? They are nearly on par with Tamiya.

They can do it if the want to.

EDIT: Managed copying sucks. I long for the good old days when we bought media, not licenses.

This was NEVER true. Video tapes, audio cassettes, CD's and DVD's were license purchases. The labels owned what was on the media. Not the "buyer". The difference now is that digital copies can be identical to the originals. This is what made the studios nervous in the early nineties when cd burners came out. And when DVD ripping software came out the movie studios were sueing the poor Nordic kid who wrote the program.

The studios need to get innovative with thier licensing structure. And start making compelling media while thier at it. I never rip off a great band. But I will never pay for the popcorn garbage that plays on the radio.

Still waiting for my larger scale Viper toys!!

You'll be waiting forever mate.

The film grain in Galactica is added in post. The series is shot with HD digital cameras. The Miniseries video quality isn't quite as nice as the rest of the seasons.

I don't like the Microsoft culture that comes with Xbox. Most of the fans are pretty much like the dick jocks in highschool. The MS campus is very much like that.

What MS is doing in with the HD format war and thier screw up with Vista is making me very anti-MS.

I have a close friend who works for them who owns a Mac. So he can't be all bad.

Just make the helmet addition for Kamjin in his Glaug and do another run.

It's confirmed over at QJ.net that PS3 will be getting DivX support in a future firmware update. Yay! I can stop tryin to convert my videos to MP4.

I'm in for one.

Euro=1.470939usd at the moment. New record almost every day. Nice for me so far, but on the other hand who knows what will happen in the long term. I have my opinion about what is happening to usa, but that's not to be talked about here.

The short answer is a messed up loans situation with housing. Then there's the trade defecit. And the ever expanding number of wars.

But the Regults are super cool. I'm happy that the Canadian economy is doing so well.
