  1. Thanks Valkyrie312. I just received an email from ToyFreakz to that affect. Ahab-
  2. Welcome Nvncibl, and good luck.
  3. How is Toy Freakz handling this development? I've yet to receive a cancellation notice. Has anyone else, who ordered with TF, received any info from them?
  4. Ahoy! Here's a small lighting test (only two lights) I rigged up for the ARMD carriers. The antennas are made of alluminum: .5mm (O.D) and .3mm (I.D) with a 10 mil fiber optic running through. Each carrier will feature several illuminated and gimmick free antennae/towers/greebles etc. As for the fiber optics, I found 10 mil to feel the most scale. Of course I will mix it up with some 20, 30 and 40 mil depending on the function of the light. Each ship will also feature stobes and navigation lights (with a little help from Trek Modeller!). Note: If you don't click on the image, you'll really have to squint to see the lights...but they are there! ....and more red than they appear in photos. BTW: In the first image the lights are off. Thanks for lookin'! Ahab-
  5. Welcome to the forums! Looking good so far,
  6. Try Montana Colors spray paints. They have a variety of high quality colors and sizes (up to 600ml cans).
  7. It may be a little tough on the wallet, but a 1/60 mom's kitchen would look great along side a couple 1/60 escort valks...Just sayin',
  8. Pre-ordered the new Miracle Vehicle Voltron yesterday...I'll finally get my mitts on a large scale Diarugger!

    Can't wait to have this thing in my mitts!
  10. Hey, that's a good idea! The monster and the regult are, more or less, kits. Eventually, if the interest is there, I'd like offer these mini mechs to those interested (along with the TV carriers in 1/2000 scale). Cheers- Ahab
  11. Thanks! I'll use hollow brass if I can find a gauge small enough. If not, I have steel rod that will work.
  12. Hey All, Here's a small update. Been nibbling on the ARMD's and SDF feet, but not really enough to justify a post yet. The mini monster is coming along, though. Since I'll be casting at least 4 for the displays, I'm only sculpting one arm and one leg. I'll mold the pieces and cast enough for the whole cast. Til next time...
  13. Nah, you can have one too....provided your priorities are as out of whack as mine !!
  14. Yeah, it was pricey, indeed. It was about $2300 shipped when I purchased it a little over a year ago. As for updates, I'll have some progress pics in a couple days. Been working on a mini-monster and ARMD details. Work and taxes have derailed my progress the last couple weekends, but I'm back on the horse! Cheers-
  15. Good job! The Phalanx is my favorite destroid (well, as least a close second to the Monster).
  16. Have you ever seen Mospeada? Back on topic, the VF-4's cluncky battroid mode is beginning to grow on me. It feels like a good ole' throw-back to the 80's robot...cause it is, I guess. No Lucas style re-engineering here. It is what it is, and there's a charm to that.
  17. In Los Angeles, whenever there's a power outage, everyone panics and races to the store and buys up all the water and batteries. I feel like the guy who was stuck at work and got to the grocery store late to find nothing but empty shelves.... Enjoy your water !
