nautilus Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Actually, I'm experimenting with a bit of both. Base colour, then lining and then tomorrow I'll go over with a weaker mix of the base coat, just to tone it down. I'll then finish off with weathering powders/pens. As for the coolant, that leg's never been the same since Roy gave the poor pod a whack in the shins. Edited November 15, 2012 by nautilus
Smut Peddler Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 I gotta find a display case this beast will fit in
nautilus Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Praise from a variety of Caesars here... Thank you very much. Anyway, apart from adding Mars-like terrain, the job is done. Tadda! I'll just add one more thank you to Mike - Mr. Dream-maker hisself. Edited November 18, 2012 by nautilus
MechTech Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Great job! That came out museum quality (which thankfully we don't really have any of these to contend with ) Thanks for sharing your build! - MT

nautilus Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 The base is 60cm wide and 40cm deep. As you can see it is almost too small. In hindsight, 80x60 would have been better, and I might unscrew and remount in the winter. And 80x80 could be modded into a Zentran symbol with enough room for pod and pilot, easily. As for the arms, in the end it was a brazing rod down from the shoulder to gun for strength, and some wicked tough epoxy. Though I did screw the shoulders for that extra beefy goodness.
Kremmen Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Great work, nautilus! Mine arrived today. Just unboxing and leaving it at that is impossible. IMPOSSIBLE, I tell you. Thanks Mike, awesome kit.
nautilus Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Great work, nautilus! Mine arrived today. Just unboxing and leaving it at that is impossible. IMPOSSIBLE, I tell you. Thanks Mike, awesome kit. Amen, Brother. This was supposed to have been my Winter project, but unboxing led to a photo. which led to an inspection, which led to a parts count, which led to a 'little' de-flashing, which led to general clean, which led to a single test fit, which led to a whole heap of stuff.
mslz22 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Holy cow, that was fast! It looks great, and boy it towers over everything......I like the red accents on the arms and stuff....
nautilus Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Like I said to Wasabi, I had meant it to be a Winter project, but when it arrived, it was so well cast, and so inspirational that I could not stop. Even Her Indoors did not object to the time being taken. I've never had such a feeling of contentment with a model before - even with the errors I made in building it. Truly, an inspirational model... Now, if only you'd put your Regult back into production next Summer.... Or, even better a QR! Or a Or a Scout Pod. Or a Nousjadeul-Ger. Or, best of all a 1/48 Quelle-Quallie ROFL Edited November 22, 2012 by nautilus

peter Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) Holy $hit man, that is truly epic. Awesome build. Do you have any of his 1/24 VF-1 Valks by any chance? I'm curious to see some builds of that. Edited December 3, 2012 by peter
nautilus Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 I'd have loved a 1/24 VF-1, but I'm a recent arrival here, and missed the boat on that....
Smut Peddler Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 My package arrived yesterday, thanks again mslz22
Smut Peddler Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 A 1/48 Gnerl and Quel Quallie would be awesome.
peter Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 I'd have loved a 1/24 VF-1, but I'm a recent arrival here, and missed the boat on that.... :(/> Ask him nicely to re-issue it......and ask for a Strike Package + weapons set
Smut Peddler Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Just curious about what's on the table now ? The pods are amazing, hoping for the rest of the pod line up down the road. /crossesfingers
mslz22 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Posted June 11, 2013 The last 6 months has been tough on my time, my youngest daughter started preschool but that yielded me less time than i had before somehow. The summer may not be much better with 2 kids at home for much of the summer. Fall things get better, younger one starts "real" preschool and will have 3 6hr days to work on stuff, that of course includes casting projects for other people which funds a lot of other stuff. I need to prioritize these, and some will not make it at all and some will be years away, but here is the wish list... 1/10-1/12 inbit shocktrooper 1/48 TV Q rau 1/24 Fastpack armour and mislepack 1/72 monster TV Sdf-1, very big hopefully at some point. 1/48 destroids if no one else winds up picking them up. Keep in mind i have some BSG and SW stuff in development too, and i am always switching back and forth between scratchbuilds, casting and build/paints for people so nothing gets done as quickly as i want.... Feel free to give your input and help me get focused on one of these.... mike

Feel free to give your input and help me get focused on one of these.... mike Dont know how much help I can be because I'd buy all the 1/48 offerings and especially that 1/10 inbit. Hmmm I guess my vote would go to the 1/10 inbit first since there is nothing like it available any where, and your 1/32 version looked amazing. Edit: I'd be all over that tv SDF-1 as well Edited June 11, 2013 by Smut Peddler
mslz22 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Posted June 11, 2013 Quick calculation would put the 1/10-1/12 scale inbit at 20 inches tall........that may be something i need to see happen...

Major Tom Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 I'm looking forward to the big scale TV SDF-1 and 1/10 Inbit
nautilus Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 1/48 TV Q rau... I can't find a better reaction, so I'll Spartacus this plea for the QR.
