Grayson72 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday. Well here is the update most of you have been waiting for. I have pictures of the design modifications for the ground vehicle sets. I will be ordering the 1/48 masters before the new year. Please add your 2 cents because I hope to get enough opinions so that any modifications can be made before the masters are ordered. So please tell me if these are better or if anyone has an idea for an improvement please let me know. The 1/48 Set is coming as soon as the designs are approved by the majority. I will then post in the toys section for the 1/60 and see if more interest can be generated for that set. Then I will move on to the Military and Civilian vehicle sets. So make your opinion heard! Thanks All I have also redesigned the fuel/water trailer. For some reasons the JPG came out bad. I will try again later but the 2 halves have been eliminated for a capsule type design. Oh sure, make it easy on the 1/48 guys LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundrayeti Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Oh sure, make it easy on the 1/48 guys LOL Sorry Grayson, Someone had to be the guinea pig. I DO eventually plan on fixing the 1/72 scale though. I'll be sure to take care of you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundrayeti Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Well If there are no comments or objections the 1/48 masters will be ordered tonight. Once I get them pictures will be posted. Here is the pic of the water/fuel tank modification that didn't come out before. Hope everyone has a safe and Happy New year!

tundrayeti Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Okay everyone the 1/48 Masters are here! They look really good and the updated modifications work really well. Okay well on with the eye candy. First the boom truck. This sucker is HUGE! i have also included some comparison photos with a cel phone and a 1/100 scale boom truck. The cab will be CNC machined like it was on the 1/72 set. I will also be machining the boom itself so that it will have more details such as being able to extend. If you look at the parts photos you can see I actually made the piston work. Next the rest of the set and some shots of the other parts. So please post your comments and/or questions. I will now start making the molds for these and start to accept payments for the preorders. Anyone else that is interested can still get a set, just send me a PM.

claude grant Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Though this really is an underappreciated service that you're providing, there is no denying the fact that the end results are of some seriously well thought out, expertly executed, and desirable pieces (really diggin' the gunpod carrier!) from the Macross universe. So in that regard, a sincere THANK YOU from me for the work that you are doing for the fan community. Please keep this service going if you can. Pm'd you about some things as well.

Thanks for the compliment Claude. I pm'ed you back. I'll try to keep it going as much as i can. Anything i make goes into the next project and so on. Thor and I have a lot of stuff on the drawing board guys, very exciting stuff keep posted. can we get pricing on this thang? I mentioned it earlier Kicker but it was a little vague. So the price for the set of 7 vehicles will be $200 plus shipping and handling. I am also making the vehicles available individually. The boom truck will be $42 plus S&H (hey it's frikkin HUGE!!!!) and the other vehicles will be available for $28 each plus S&H. This set is really looking good guys, I will post pictures of the parts as they become available. Thanks again for the support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) I will for sure want to pick up a couple or three of these in 1:60...and a VERY big thank you from us Macross fans! I am REALLY stoked about the civilian/military vehicles if you decide to do those next! Edited January 14, 2011 by derex3592 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundrayeti Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 I will for sure want to pick up a couple or three of these...and a VERY big thank you from us Macross fans! I am REALLY stoked about the civilian vehicles if you decide to do those next! The next set will be the Military vehicles such as the m299 jeep and the low gravity vehicle, and the APC. The set will be smaller, probably one apc and 2 of each of the jeeps. Don't know if the 1/60 set will make it, even with the posting in the toy section, not a whole lot of enthusiasm. So for now the 1/60 scale ground support set is on hold until there is enough intrest. (sorry 1/60 guys ) Next step in the process for the military set is to design where the part lines will be. Everyone will be able to have their say in this process. Then I will try to do the civilian vehicles as well. So please keep suggesting vehicles and ideas guys they all help make the end result better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundrayeti Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Okay everyone! Here's a preview of the first vehicle in the next set. The m299 jeep. Please let me know what you guys think. there are 2 assembled pics and one showing all the parts. Comments and suggestions are very welcome! Also anyone who wants to get in on any of the ground support vehicle sets please pm me and ask questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
