    You know what would go great with that Macross, but that they probably will never make? A same-scale Supervision Army gunboat!

    Hey guys. The deadline for the 30 spots will be upon us in 5 days and from the looks of it, interest for the project has stalled. I will ask all those members who want the kit to let me know if you approve or reject the project with a price increase to accomodate the lower production volume. If there's a unanimous yes, I will start on the 30th. If not, I will consider other projects.
  3. captain america
    Quite right, I corrected it.

    If I were to do a run of 22 in stead of 30, it would raise the price from 292 CAD to 390 CAD (290 usd), a rather significant price bump. It would have to be approved unanimously by the 22 already aboard or it all falls apart.

    I'm digging the choice of colors, and thankfully there was no mixing required.

    See first post. I'll take a deposit to secure orders and commence work, say 200 CAD (153 USD) and the balance just prior to shipping.

    So far, 20. The problem with leaving it for longer is that after about a month, people become distracted, forget, or commit to other purchases and then comes the chore of tracking down the members that don't visit MW frequently to see if--after all that time--they're still committed.

    I'll leave the thread going until the 28th. If by that time it hasn't hit 30 I'll call it a day.

    Holy cow, that's awesome... And shocking! That Kamjin would allow his Glaug to fall into such a state of disrepair!! Seriously, that is one impressive model. May it strike fear into the rest of your kits for generations to come!!

    Actually, all the Legioss toys/models, save for the Toynami (1/55?) are undersized for any kind of adult human pilot. Having scrutinized the line-art at length I can tell you that even the original stated dimensions for the craft are stupid small for any pilot bigger than a 10 year-old child. According to the stats, a 1/32 Legioss Armored Soldier should be 27.5cm tall, but mine is almost a full 10cm taller because I designed the whole thing around the pilot. The whole "line-art accuracy" thing is irrelevant: being hand-drawn, the shapes and proportions vary wildly in all modes from one illustration to another, so it comes down to picking what version you happen to like more than another.

    Personally, I don't think that the DYRL color scheme gets enough love.

    There would be a deposit when I'm ready to start and balance due prior to shipping as with my previous project. There are already 20 down of the 30 needed, so it depends on how quickly I can fill the remaining slots. I reckon that there are still quite a few people on vacation and possibly not checking the site regularly.

    Figured I'd post a couple of pics of the venerable 1/32 compared to some of the more "classic" Legioss offerings. I was asked why I felt that the market needed yet another 1/48 Legioss, as there were already many offerings available from Imai, Aoshima, CM, Gakken, etc. I will just post comparison pics and let you decide for yourself. The Toynami MPC is essentially a revised Imai sculpt with improvements over its predecessor.

    It will very much be an Armored Soldier kit, but based on the overall proportions of the 1/32 model. That being said, the proportions will allow a more astute modeler (with some scratchbuilding skills) to make a fighter if they so desire. It will NOT be transformable.

    I am using my 1/32 design, shrinking it down to 1/48 precisely because it works
  16. captain america
    That thing could potentially be a thing, but first the other thing has to be a thing... Otherwise that second thing has nothing to link to 1/32 would have been nightmarishly large for a TREAD, but 1/48 is still borderline feasible. I intend to base the Legioss on my 1/32 model proportion-wise and can make it such that, while not actually variable, an astute modeler could build it into fighter mode with a few updated or scratchbuilt parts. Assuming that demand is there, of course.
  17. captain america
    Keep the demand coming, guys! If you need to, share the word, send the link with your friends!

    One step ahead of ya man!

    About the same height as the King Crabb (Gosu.)

    http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=42820 Now's the time. Also, 1/48 is also (probably) a more realistic scale that could eventually lead to a compatible TREAD.

    Hi guys! As promised, I am putting forth the final pitch to gauge interest in a 1/48 Mospeada Legioss soldier mode (hereinafter referred to as Buster: Henshin Robo) resin model to accompany the Crabb army which I made a little while ago. I would also make all three head variations: Blue, Green and Red to allow for more versatility in the collection. Kit would be free-pose type (build it in the desired pose only) although certain joints will allow for minimal re-posing. Decals and markings: I will do the artwork, which I will then offer as open-source so that you can download and print as you see fit. This is going to be quite a bit more of an undertaking than most of my previous models, simply by virtue of its geometric complexity so you'd be looking at a $292 Canadian price-point (about $222 US) plus shipping. I would need a minimum of 30 orders to get the ball rolling so ask yourselves: is Buster right for YOU?
  22. captain america
    Yes.

    I had a few things in mind. I was planning to give the 1/48 Legioss project one last try in August. Other possibilities are -1/72 Dragon II -1/72 Q-Rau -1/3000 Macross TV version -1/9 MOSPEADA And of course, there's always the possibility of re-issuing a classic like the Regult. It all depends on where demand takes me.
  24. captain america
    If you guys really do want MOSPEADA stuff, this is me firing a warning shot across your collective bows! I intend to offer-up a 1/48 L3g10$$ soldier kit in August which I will post in the workshop section. All 3 head and decal variants in one: express yourself or forever hold your peace

    I'm both pleased and impressed with your work so far, Mintox. Just got back into town a couple days ago and I'm itching to see more!
