  1. Probably challenging enough that I wouldn't recommend it as a first build.
  2. OMG, the paint job on that plane is just wrong... And so are a host of other significant details, but that's another story altogether. Somebody wake me up if they do a D variant.
  3. **Author's own opinion. No value assured, no liability assumed, does not constitute legal advice.** People can do whatever they want with their property, whether that entails reselling it (or at least trying) at an exorbitant rate, giving it away, or even destroying it. Don't like the price someone is selling THEIR property for? Make a counter-offer, or don't buy it; simple as that. Oh, and as far as this notion of "buying/hoarding/reselling" goes, I can only laugh because 9 times out of 10, people lose money on kits they decide to part with. On the issue of boxes, I guess I'm something of a contrarian because when it comes to a lot of vintage Macross,Mospeada, etc models, I place infinitely more value on the box/artwork than the actual kits within, which are, in my opinion, junk.
  4. Ditto. Most. Epic-est. Moment. Ever. The new V puts me to sleep, and if it maintains this pace, I doubt it will last a whole season, to say nothing of a second.
  5. ...And the 3 final pages
  6. Oh, and here are the destructions for the Regult. Enjoy!
  7. For what it's worth, I have one Graug remaining that I'll post in the FOR SALE section later... Just in case
  8. Especially if they would've tried to do it with sock puppets! Granted, with CGI now, I think that it could be done both faithfully and realistically... I'm thinking back to how they got Yoda to saber-fight in AOTC; the idea would have seemed propostrous to most of us, right up until we saw the little green bugger in action... And then all doubt was erased. Ever so slightly off-topic, has anyone picked-up the Gentle Giants Kraken figure? Been searching for a review of it, but decent (non-official) pictures are all but impossible to find.
  9. I was an avid enthusiast of Greek mythology as a boy, and I can tell you quite sincerely that the Kraken is a creature taken from Norse mythology, not Greek. In the original story of Perseus, I think that Cassiopeia offends Poseidon with her vanity, prompting the latter to unleash a sea beast called Cetus (not a Titan by any stretch), who can only be appeased by a human sacrifice (Andromeda.) The original movie was essentially a mish-mash loosely based around the story of Perseus, with much creative re-writing. I really did like that particular rendition of the Kraken though; probably one of my all-time favourite monsters as a child. In fact, the original Clash of the Titans film departs rather wildly from the original mythology in soooooo many ways, but was still pleasant to watch. This newer rendition looks like it will also not be faithful to the source material, albeit in different ways.
  10. See first post of this thread for info. Kit is now officially sold-out.
  11. Received ok, and shipped! Oh, and the run may be sold out; will confirm shortly...
  12. Yes, I strapped your kit to a postal snail and shooed it on its way last week! 4 left...
  13. Wow, just... Wow!
  14. All current orders processed; 6 kits left.
  15. Much like what we have now. I too thought that the pilot should've been longer, and allowed for a more progressive revelation of the hidden alien agenda; perhaps a 3 hour intro wasn't cost-effective. Either way, it was... Fair. Nothing special, but I'll keep an eye on the show, just in case it does get interesting.
  16. New molds from the existing masters... With a few touch-ups and improvements.
  17. Hi guys. I'll be shipping the first batch of models today. ( 9 kits left.)
  18. "*muttermutter*" is not my next project Actually, probably the Ka-'Tsai (Cat's Eye.)
  19. Hi guys! Sorry for not posting sooner; I've had almost a dozen models already cast since last Friday, I just totally forgot to post in the heat of the action... And Halloween candy. Anyways, those who are ready to send payment may do so at any time, here's the shipping info to add to the kit price ($140) Shipping within North America, up to 2 kits: $17.00 International up to 2 kits: $35.00 Paypal fee: 4% So for 1 kit shipped in N-A, the total comes to $163.28, and for Int'l, it boils-down to $182. I will process orders on a first come, first served basis until the fifteen models are all spoken for. As always, questions are welcome, ad if you require my private payment info, please contact me via PM
  20. Did they operate the F-14D in Zero? I seem to recall them only having the A model.
  21. Hi every one. Just wanted to provide a quick status update: molds are almost done, and decals should be in transit to me as we speak. The first castings will be ready by Wednesday, and I'll probably be able to ship as soon as this coming Friday; will have shipping prices by then. Please stay tuned
  22. I keep looking at this stuff every once in a while, but anything even remotely good enough to produce "no sanding necessary" parts to model-building caliber is still about 15K and up. The technology is almost there, but the cost still has a ways to go, and frankly, hand-made parts might not be micro-milimeter accurate, but they're a helluva lot faster and cheaper... And where static models are concerned, some of the very best stuff I've ever seen was done by hand, and often just plain looks better than something computer-generated...At least to me.
  23. It looks like there's sufficient interest, so I've started prepping the parts for molding. Let's hope the decals also come through.
  24. Probably not for another 2 weeks, provided that I get enough interest to green light the project
