    I would start off with offering Soldier mode and see what type of demand there is... After the baby crab of course!

    I'm starting to think that this may very well be needed. Perhaps after the Eager (Baby Space Crab)

    The Imai kit is actually touted as being 1/48... In a world where a fully-grown adult male is 4 feet tall. I loathed that kit so much when I was a kid: the engineering really fails on so many levels it's not even funny. The non-variable 1/72 kits are not only better but also probably the best plastic Legioss representations.

    Destructions! Will try to have a couple of completed cockpit shots by week's end. Enjoy

    2/3 of kits shipped. Will have destructions ready early next week!

    Hi guys! Just wanted to let you all know that kits are all cast and will start shipping next week. Molds have held up quite well and so there's a chance I may be able to get a couple of extra castings with a little luck.

    Beauty pix :3

    Funny that you should mention that fibrous pattern, I was contemplating something like that for all the crabs, but since it wasn't really clear with regards to the line-art I decided to err on the side of caution. The Curio-Craft model has better fingers, but that's because I had to re-sculpt mine at the very last minute.

    Muahahahaha!!!

    Er, back on the topic at hand... I'll try to have some full-frontal King Crab pix up by Friday. Molds seem to be holding up well and should hit the half-way casting point by the end of the week.

    If enough people want in, I'd be down for it.

    Soooo the casting has FINALLY commenced this week. Will be at ComicCon all weekend, but wanted to at least get a pic of my crabs out there for everyone to see... Orange mousse flavor

    Very interesting question! Never a whole mould, but there have been rare occasions where a cavity within a mould will not yield acceptable castings and so a particular part will be set onto a different mould box with a corrected position to yield better castings. The frequency of these events has dwindled over time: lots of practice and experience has all but done away with these problems although there are some shapes which I sculpt that require more study in able to mould/cast properly.

    Test-shot is the very first casting where you trouble-shoot, see if the vents and gates are sufficient, need to be enlarged or new vents added to prevent air pockets or decrease pour time. Also, the castings will be in a color other than gray for production

    You mean Reflex Point?? Actually yes!! Thanks for reminding me, the molds are almost done and I already have test-shots and preliminary casting started. Castings came out beautifully

    Gorgeous counter-tops!! And those inbits are pretty nifty too

    Thanks for posting this Exo, this guy has mad skills... And patience! *Bows before serious modeling talent.*

    Arguably, the photochopped image makes it look far stubbier than it really is. You'll see when the first test-shots are done and I can show it with all its parts. In the meantime, buckler action!!

    While this deals with the original series, the guys in this video (the first guy in particular) lay out the framework for Evangelion extremely well. The first guy knows more than he lets on about the esoteric symbolism in the series, definitely worth a watch.

    Masters are... Complete. King Crabb lives!!!! A few pix of the masters below. I left out parts like the fingers and canopy hatch joint mechanism because they're very frail... And pics of the buckler are coming, I just wanted to let the primer dry. I made the neck such that you would also be able to pose the head looking up (in flight) and came up with a foot design that allows you to get a really wide stance if desired. The cockpit... That f$*&@ing cockpit... I actually came up with a mechanism that kinda makes sense for the seat lowering, but boy was it a PITA trying to make sense of that whole clusterfrack of improvised Anime style sheets. They really winged the mechanics in this series more than in any other that I've seen... Anyway, I maded it work without butchering the design too badly. Will begin mold-prep tomorrow and that should keep me occupied for the next week, give or take. First castings are not too far-off

    From what I've gathered, EOE isn't an alternate ending to the TV series, but merely the external events that unfold, unlike in the TV series ending which was in Shinji's mind. The new films are actually excellent, though the events of the Human Instrumentality Project unfold differently. Very differently. Regardless, I highly suspect that it will all end up the same way, since that's what the whole story is about.

    ...Too soon? In my opinion, this is one of the very best anime storylines and deserves its own thread. Last I've read, the fourth and last film in the series is slated to open in winter 2015. Of course, the project has been plagued with delays and so who knows... Any rumors for the upcoming film? Upcoming products? Existing products that you'd like to share with fellow MWers? Let this thread be dedicated to the Rebuild of Evangelion and eventually, it's final chapter.
  23. captain america
    Masters are now done, primer is drying. Aiming to post pics tomorrow, fingers crossed!
  24. captain america
    Just a quick heads-up guys: the masters are almost done but I won't be posting an update this week as I'll be at Otakuthon all weekend here in Montreal.
  25. captain america
    Better to contact me via PM if you want something since I don't check this thread much.
