mslz22 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41638&hl=monstar You can really make payments any way you want, the installment idea was just to spread the payments out for those who found it convenient. thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkArchon3000 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 This kit looks Amazing! Third payment sent today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasabi-san Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Had an epiphany regarding some sort of WWII-style nose art for this...Monster. Poisonous spiders! It would be a perfect homage to Mr Mike. Something like: "Ms. Arachnia" or "The Black Widow" etc. Some Petty or Vargas pin-up girl in a black dress or lingerie with accoutrements like little red hourglass bows on her black stockings, or a big red bow on the back of her black dress. Any thoughts? "Frank's Pet" or "Frankenstein" just doesn't seem as cool...big, green, HWR Monster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslz22 Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 First kit shipped, even with the rotocasting and attempts to save weight, this thing is still 16lbs packed up!!! More leaving soon. thanks BTW love the idea of spider nose art, i will run it by my buddy Jason who is doing the art! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasabi-san Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Mike, I could draw something up for you if you'd like. It would be an honor to do something in return for all of your hard work. Lemme know. (Edit:) Would you want something in anime style, or "real-type?" I can do either. 8"x10" color, then scaled to decal level? Edited November 12, 2014 by Wasabi-san Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Tom Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Just got this package today. First impression is ... It's freaking big!!! check for all the parts. Very good casting with lots of details. You can see rivets up close. Needing minor clean up on a few small flashes. Amazingly light on major parts done by hollow casting ........ Well done. I'll let the pictures do the talking..... (with small gashapon monster and takatoku 1/240 monster for size reference) Edited November 16, 2014 by Major Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasabi-san Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Picked mine up yesterday. As soon as I got home, the box was opened and parts were laid out on the coffee table. BIG! It took a little bit to figure out were everything goes (guess I didn't know the design as well as I thought). It even includes "eye" pieces. The wife walked in to see me on the floor with models, toys, and the Perfect Memory book spread about, trying to put everything in the "exploded view." She then asked; "WHERE are you going to put that?!" I replied; "Not in the closet." She rolled her eyes. Two questions though: Where do the three, flat, angled, "forked" pieces go? Are they the hinges on the rear hatches for the howitzers? Were the range finders/sensors on the front of the arms and on the sides of the main hull part of the kit, or do those need to be scratch-built? (Items #54 in the 1/200 Bandai kit) Impressed as usual. Thanks for all of your effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neko_fr Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 wow! very impressive!! I'm eager to get mine, just have to send the third payment (plus shipping, of course...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Got mine, but haven't opened it yet. Need some "me time" or when the wife steps out so I can sneak it into the Macross Room.. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaldar5 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Can't wait to see some properly scaled 1/72 dioramas with regular 1/72 Valks.So rare to see pics of Glaugs and Monsters properly scaled with Valks. People never realize how friggin big they are.And if you are attempting to "sneak in" a 1/72 Monster without your wife noticing... um... that might not be the best plan.

neko_fr Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Lol My wife will be mad! i forgot to say :third payment already sent, but I need to know the shipping fees. I want this one so bad! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0nk Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Any word on decals and instructions for this Monster? Some of us are less intuitive than others.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslz22 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Instructions will start sometime after the 1rst of the year, waiting on the decal file. Sorry for the lag in response, kids have been sick for 2 weeks (one after the other), and now are home for almost 2 weeks for the holiday, amazing how fast a month can get diced up. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neko_fr Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi! just a word to say thank you!! The beast has arrived! And just on January 7th, for my birthday. It's monstruosly awesome!!

mslz22 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 decal art and sizing are done, waiting for a test sheet to give the OK to do the full print run. Instructions are delayed just a little bit for a variety of reasons, bad weather is really impacting me at the moment, mostly around lost productivity on all fronts, lots of time home with the kids with no working.

Steve71 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Amazing! Are there any kits left for purchase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslz22 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Still available, PM me, but i am taking about a 2 week break from casting while i wait for better weather. Nothing like a record breaking cold winter to take the wind out of your casting sails if you know what i mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslz22 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Decals are at the printers, don't have a solid ETA yet but they are there! Also i will be sending everyone, along with the decals, castings of the vents that go on the side of the body. Went to get ready to paint the body and realized that something was missing. I could not cast those into the body because of the rotocasting, likely would have bubbles in those. So left them off then just forgot about them! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Can't wait... these are free right for the ones that got them already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
