specr0101 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hello, I notice quite a few resin models that were made from the Macross series. But has anyone ever made the transport plane that took Misa to the Grand Canyon? If not, that would be a great build for the MW master sculpters Any inputs? Thanks!

MechTech Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I always wanted one. I seriously considered doing one myself. I've put it off because I'm working on a LARGER project. If I did one, it would be in 1/200th scale to match the rest of my scratchbuilt/Nichimo models. If anyone else is serious enough, I'd do it. It would be best to have someone else cast it due to logistics on my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson72 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Nah wouldn't be interested unless it was 1/72 scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobywan Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The one in 1/72nd used to be in my to-do list. I would get one if it were on par with the Ghost kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specr0101 Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hmmm, so who else would be interested in a 1/72 scale transport? Maybe if enough people jumped on, then someone would carve a master. ANy takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson72 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Well I think all our master sculptors around here are busy with current projects. Honneamise with the Ghost, MSLZ with the Monster and the Captain is busy as well. Honneamise would be my first choice though if he was willing to take it on next.

specr0101 Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Honneamise would be a great choice! His ghost is well mastered. I wounder if there is images of the plane to accurately scale the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe Q Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 You gotta strike while the iron is hot! We're in the golden age (mini-golden age?) of custom Macross kits so let's keep pushing the sculptors to crank em out. Later on, they might lose interest.

cobywan Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I have a start to the CAD file I was going to use as a pattern. I can finnish that up and pass it on to whoever wants to do the master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honneamise Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 That one is a cool subject, the more I look at the artwork the more I like it, but at the moment all I can think is "has to be 1/72" and "1/72 - too big for me right now" - need a much bigger pressure pot for things like this and more experience of course. Still, great little shuttle. I guess it will be about the size of the Cat´s Eye or slightly bigger, so it COULD be done in this scale. With the spacious fuselage it should be hollow-cast for reduced weight and this would allow for a full interior..... including Misa and optional shield for her chair.... OK I have to quit and go on with my molds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain america Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Yes quit now before you start another project and nearly bankrupt me! 383221[/snapback] Seriously. That shuttle would be something like 64cm long in 1/72 scale; about as massive as the Monster. A kit that size would be a logistical PITA.

Who can handle molds this size... maybe some 1/350 battleship manufacturers (but those guys are WAAY too serious for stuff other than their ships I suppose ) , but still, this thing is not only long but wide too.... guess it´s nearly impossible to cast... and to pay the exorbitant price it would require! Even 1/144 would be BIG, maybe 1/200 is theonly way to go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Obscure hunh? Well if ya like obscure what would ya say to seeing some of the DYRL Meltrandi Capitol Ships done up in Resin?

I'm sure if someone produced those and did a good job and didn't charge $200 for each of them I'd pick them up. But definately not on the top of my wanted list.

Grayson72 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Oh and Honneamise, I'll need two of those rabbit ships, one in flying mode one with legs extended and Ostrich boosters, can you send those out next week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Q Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Grayson, why don't you start a 'most wanted' thread? People can request their most wanted model and that'll give the sculptors an idea of the demand for certain subjects. The top few choices can get voted on. Just an idea...

nightmareB4macross Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Grayson, why don\'t you start a \'most wanted\' thread? People can request their most wanted model and that\'ll give the sculptors an idea of the demand for certain subjects. The top few choices can get voted on.Just an idea... 383372[/snapback] Not a bad idea. You could then assign the jobs to sculptors (if they have time and are willing to take the job). Will there be a limit run of kits? If you keep the number to a minimum you might be able to junp to the next project quickly, and keep the flame going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azrhino Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 honneamise, Why not make the transport shuttle in 1/1000? That way, it would be in scale with the Oberth, would be small enough for your pressure pot, and would be easier on our wallets. If my calculations are correct, it would come out to about 1.8 inches / 4.5 cm. You could have a whole line of small ships and transports. Think of the diorama possibilities!
