That's supposed to look like this, isn't it? I mean, I can see some similar design cues, but... it's not nearly as good as their Logan, even. 🤨

 

The Auroran is a VERY complex design: the kind of project that separates the pros from the amateurs, much like the Bioroids and the Spartas. It's one thing when they can copy someone's homework (albeit badly, most times) but when they have to figure it all out on their own, it's usually a clusterfrack. 

Rrrready!!!

Closer to 39cm when complete.

14 in so far. Will we hit the MOQ to proceed in time?

Loving the Schpertor, Bruce!  You continue to knock 'em out of the park. 👍

Test-fitting painted parts, removing the last of the masking tape... 🫣

Damn. 🤕

I don't think I scrubbed or sanded these resin parts enough before applying the primer.  Three layers of paint peeled off in an instant! 😓

AAAAARGH!!! I hate when that happens!

I recommend that my resin kits (heck, ANY resin kits) be scrubbed with an old toothbrush and rubbing alcohol prior to painting. Thoroughly. It's a very effective degreaser. Also, if I don't remove the masking right after painting, I will lightly run a sharp blade over the mask line and peel the tape diagonally to avoid it pulling up paint. I'm sure you know this Ted, but others may not, and if I can save them a few tears, so much the better.

Also gotta love this part of the "lore"(?).

Like: you know what is super aerodynamic? A huge a** radar disk. Lol.

The Omega is good re-interpretation of the Iota legioss but this one is just a complete train wreck. 

 

 Seriously! 

FWIW, I solved the "improved maneuverability" issue like 20 years ago by incorporating thruster nozzles (static and dynamic) in key locations so the Legioss would have full nose-authority even at zero airspeed. Peeps gotta try harder.

Its good more and more Mospeada are coming out.  

 

Kinda looks like something Rey would see in a dehydration-induced hallucination during a sandstorm. All it needs is a sword! 

Kidding aside, I get that they want to produce new merch, so they need "new" designs, but I'm really sorry, the design is stupid. The AWACS idea with a radar dish is a good idea, but the wings with the blasters don't fold-away neatly enough in Diver or Soldier mode, so they just hinder movement. The jousting lance looks ridiculously out of place (not to mention horribly balanced!) And those canards... yeah, let's put those in the most awkward location possible to create massive lateral blind spots for the pilot! They could have simply redesigned the LERX to make it different, be useful, stow away neatly in Soldier AND not hinder the pilot's visibility. Also, alot of you who've been around here long enough know I'm not just talking out my a$$, because I have a reputation for back-engineering a lot of those Anime chicken scratchings into functional, physical models. Whoever did this simply wasn't trying.

11 so far!

This is just my 2 cents but it would be the cherry on top of a huge sundae, what about including a launched armo soldier from one of the bays as an accessory? It would make a static model to breathe life to it.

-Do you have any idea how tiny that Armo-Soldier would be in 1/1000?

I would be willing to pay if your intention is to make all the capital ships in that diagram unless you've already have done so and I missed out, oh well. 

-Someone needs to do a forum search.

~35cm would not be 1/2000 scale for the Ikazuchi space carrier from Genesis Climber MOSPEADA.

Per Artmic's settei for Genesis Climber MOSPEADA, the Ikazuchi space carrier is "a large warship with a total length of nearly 300m."

This is referenced in B Club Special Artmic Design Works, MOSPEADA Complete Art Works, and a few other publications.

1/2000 scale would be approximately 15 centimeters, not 35.  A model with a length of approximately 35cm would be 1/857 scale.  

To make a long story slightly shorter, the Artmic stats don't align with the visual proportions of the line-art. Back when I made the Regults, I based the mecha size on a baseline, which is the Zentraedi soldier. If a soldier can't fit in the mech, the stated sizes are irrelevant. Similarly here, I had already made the Horizont and Garfish in 1/350, starting with the Legioss as the baseline. The fighter has to be able to fit in the Garfish hangars, and fit just so beneath the Horizont's lower hull and between the crew pods. 

Working from this line-art illustration, you can roughly make-out that one Ikazuchi launch bay holds 24 Armo-Soldiers.

Now if you take this other animation style sheet shown below, you have a decent idea of the proportions of the carrier, based on the other mecha.

Knowing that I have to cram 24 soldiers in one bay, a bay must be a minimum size, so either I must deform the ship, or upscale it to make it proportional. If you look at the image below, it shows you how big the Ikazuchi would be at 300m, and the bays are just way too small. Consequently, I have enlarged the ship because physics. I did goof though, the actual kit scale would be 1/1000 and not 1/2000. Fixed that.

Recon type?? 

And the horridly comical dilution of this once great Anime continues. 

4 so far.

Greetings everyone, I need your help! As I teased on Facebook a few of days ago, I'd like to offer the following modelling project: a 1/6 MOTOCYCLE FREAK YERO-TYPE armor + accessories set. This would be similar to the original MOTOCYCLE FREAK released almost 3 years ago, but with the following detail revisions:

-revised front helmet for the YERO-TYPE

-green-tinted visor

-new face sculpt to more accurately represent YERO

-the carabine parts (stock. barrel, sling) replaced with a 4-battery (HBT) pack

**Kindly note that an MX02-A body figure and body stocking will be required (not included) to complete this figure. **

To make this project happen, I need a MINIMUM of 12 orders (non-negotiable). If you're interested in obtaining a kit, you will need to PM me to let me know and I will compile a list. I will let the project run until January 3^rd (inclusive) 2026, at which point IF I have enough interest, I will send out payment requests and start the project. If you can, please share about this project on other pages, and even other sites, just please be respectful of the rules where you post. Ready, set... go!!!

Bumpers! Did anyone end up finishing their kits? 

Currently being offered. Need to hit the MOQ of 12 before Nov. 10th.

Update from MEP toys. According to the website the hope is produce a 1/48 scale Hovertank.  To fund, there will be clearance sale on his old stock and then a kickstarter.

Carlos has my blessing to back-engineer my Tanku-Robo model if it will help produce a faithful figure.

Simply fantabulous!!! I do so enjoy seeing people bring out the best in my kits. 

Greetings @everyone!

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm planning a re-issue of the 1/350 STARFISH (MOSPEADA Garfish) kit.

@tom do Just PM me.

@captain america: Is this still available for purchase?

The Limited Blueberry Type is cancelled for lack of interest; the standard searchlight version will be shutting down production in the next week-10 days.

Destructions are ready to download!

Hey guys!

While your PHAT LYNX kit is equipped one full salvo of missiles (and the markings associated therewith) you also have the option to order extra missiles, should you require them, or just to show-off its massive 44 missile load-out!

All paid orders have already shipped; will hold the ordering window open for a little while longer.

1/72 vs 1/48

Hey @everyone say hello to my little friend... and he's not so little! At over 30cm tall even without the antenna extensions, this kit's shelf-presence is second only to the massive Graug. Behold the 1/48 PHAT LYNX in all its glory!!! The kit holds together pretty well, even with just hot glue, despite its 1.2kg of weight. Kits start shipping next week!
