Hello everyone!

Well I am starting a new thread for these sets. For those of you who have purchased or are familiar with the ground support vehicle sets I have done previously, I also announced in that thread An upcoming Military vehicle set. Well I am now taking orders. It would have been sooner, but I have had a large number of Custom order lately (usually happens after Wonderfest) and I wanted these to be ready to go! I have also been recovering from surgery the last few weeks so for those of you who have been patient and supportive, Thank you!

The sets are available in 1/72 and 1/48 scales. The set will consist of 1 M-299 jeep, 1 XM-3002 Low Gravity Jeep, and 1 APC. I previewed the jeeps at Wonderfest and they sold out pretty quick. I'll give about 3 weeks for orders to be placed and delivery will be about 2-3 weeks after that. I already have the molds done. so I wanted everything to be ready for this one. So Please let me know what scale you would like and how many. I can also add extra vehicles if desired.

And now Pricing!

The 1/72 set will go for $60.00 and the 1/48 scale will go for $90.00.

Prices do not include shipping and handling. For those of you who are outside the US, i will calculate individually but for orders taken inside the US, shipping and handling will be $15.70.

I will use the flat rate shipping.

So With all that said Here are a few pics of the masters, and One of the jeeps I did for display at Wonderfest For those members who got your there at Wonderfest, Thanks for all your support!

Sorry for the quality of the pics they were taken with my old camera. I'll post new ones of the first few castings this weekend

These look awesome! Keep up the great work! I'm glad to see after all these years you've taken up the challenge to get these vehicles done. There's been several people who started and weren't able to carry through. - MT

very nice ,I need 1/60, how to buy this

Right now the sets are in 1/72 and 1/48 scale. I've been getting a lot more requests for these in 1/60 scale. So here is what I'm going to propose. If I get 30 or more requests for this set in 1/60, I'll go ahead and make the masters and produce these. So if anyone who wants this set in 1/60 scale make yourself heard here on this thread. once I get 30 or more requests, I'll make it happen. I'll post pics of the APC casts in the next 24 hours.

Hope all my Macross Worlders in the U.S. have a great Thanksgiving Holiday

I have to shelve mine due to I'd been transferred to another work place and don't have the time to finish them.

I'd be in for a set in 1/60, but 30 orders??? Hope that happens, but if I knew better, sound like an "I don't want to make them in 1/60" goal. <Sigh> Please keep me posted if you do decide to do 1/60. Thanks :)

It is happening. I know it's been a wait, but there has just been more demand for the other scales. My apologies guys. I have some 1/60 valks that need some love. I was just throwing out a number there. I will make it happen even if I get 10-15 orders. Once I get all the other orders done, I'll get the masters made, and then send them to EXO so he can do his magic.

Trust me the whole point of this endeavor was to make these available in multiple scales for everyone.

His 1/72 Raptor is simply the best resin kit I've every built. Just magic.

I may have to get one of those. I did a 1/32 scale Galactica hangar and now have been asked to do one in 1/72. It's still in the development stage, but having a model for scale always helps. I may post that progress on another thread.

Just an update for everyone who has ordered the military sets in 1/72 and 1/48. Talked to the caster and I will be picking them up next weekend. I will start shipping soon after. If anything changes I'll let everyone know. I apologize for the delay but I've been traveling a lot for my job.

Thanks and feel free to pm me with questions.

Finally got the kits from the caster. And now the bad news... another last minute business trip. I will be in Nashville next week,I will start shipping as soon as I get back. For those of you who have prepaid, I will be contacting you individually. I apologize again everyone, but on the bright side I may have enough frequent flyer miles to come to the next MWCON!
