Wicked Ace Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Who is working on this? In case anyone reading this thread isn't familiar with the "Thunder Hummers": Edited February 1, 2008 by Wicked Ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) you posted a link without even grabbing a jpeg of it?.... how cruel I'm not good at the internet. Also, in my defense, someone else found this and sent me a link via PM on Macrossnexus, but by the time I was able to post up, here, the picture was gone.

Graham Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Wasn't XStoys working on one at one time? Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Wasn't XStoys working on one at one time? Graham Is XStoys in Hong Kong? The reason I ask is that the two pictures accompanying this in the original link sent to me are of a vehicle with Hong Kong license plates.

Wicked Ace Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 When I started this thread, I swear there was a work-in-progress picture; it was also on Macrossnexus. What I can't wrap my simple mind around is why the bloody hell someone would post a picture of their custom project on the internet, then pull it down when fans of the work want to view it. Pardon me while I go and smack my head against the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN_MARINE Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 well... there's this: though that's about as far as i got. i'd say that's about 3 years old now does that bust the urban myth? maybe i can get back to work on it... maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This person got a little further than you did. Maybe you can get back to work and post some pics in this thread.

EXO Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Like Sithlord, I think it's kinda funny that out of all the people that saw it on nexus and here... no one downloaded it. Isnt Graham in HK?

nightmareB4macross Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Exo, Wait a minute, first you kill the 1/48 line and now you're killing the 1/48 customs? Oh, for shame. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicked Ace Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 There is hope, if the person who posted the Flickr pic replies to email. Hopefully, this individual will post up here with pics (and a spatula to scrape the egg off my face). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirohawa Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Maybe it was alligators in the sewers! Maybe it was an elf or a LEPRECHAUN... Or maybe it is a Yamato Prototype. Maybe one last hurrah for the 1/48 line. Was there any text or kanji on the picture? Yamato has released primered pics before haven't they?
