tundrayeti Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Hey everyone. I have been Collaborating with NeptuneSurvey on a 1/350 Bug Eye theater scout. Well i am now in the casting process, and will have this avaliable at Wonderfest this year. Anyone interested in getting one please PM either Neptune or Myself. Below are some of the cad pics and the Master before finishing work has been done. I will post some updated pics this weekend. Prices for this will be posted once Neptune and I get everything sorted out. Enjoy! Edited May 3, 2013 by tundrayeti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbantonelli Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Could you show a picture (cad or resin model) of the rear, where the engines protrude from? I'm curious because I have the 1/720 model and never liked how the designer left that part "open" to the interior of the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put lots of greeblies atc. I also added the missile launchers behind the "tanks" I'll take pics of the master and post them tomorrow. in the meantime, here is the CAD version.

Ghadrack Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Woot met up with Tundrayeti at Wonderfest and picked up my kit! It is pretty monstrously huge! Also ran into Vakyrie, MSLZ22 andNeptunesurvey. My wallet is having seizures it's been hit so hard today . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunesurvey Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Here are a couple of pictures of the bugeye standing. As you can see at 1/350 it is not a small kit. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tundrayeti Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Its always great to meet some of the folks here on the forum is person. Now I have a little bonus to add to this kit. First off let me say how awesome this community is. everyone here is all about making this hobby and being a fan of macross the best experience ever. I have to give Props out to MechTech and Valkyrie. MechTech has given permission to include his 1/350th scale armored Valkyrie with this kit as a Macross World exclusive. And while here at Wonderfest Valkyrie gave me the molds for it. I Cant say enough of how awesome some of the folks here on the forums are and that is what makes some of us keep cranking out goodies for everyone else. Lots of talent out there and its great that we all help each other out. I can tell you from personal experience, that the rest of the garage kit community is not that way. i have seen a lot of petty backstabbing and other nonsense, which is why Macross World will Always be my home and the absolute best community to be a part of. Thanks for the support everyone! Now payments are now being taken for the bug eye. Price Is $200 plus shipping. Thanks again guys and let's keep making more cool stuff!

AndrewDrexler Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 E gads, what a monster. Is there a provision for a flying stand of some kind, or do we need to make our own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad_Syntax Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Awesome! However, with the great success of the Robotech Kickstarter, and basically ALL of the macross stuff coming out in 1/285, is there any chance for a 1/285 version? Also, any way to have a straight top down render of the model? There isn't a top down view of the cyclops anywhere on the web Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundrayeti Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) It would be a MONSTER!!! Bit if you get enought guys together willing to schuck out $350 or mor a pop well then maybe I might do it..... All kidding aside, that would be a tremendous undertaking. The labor alone would make that kit expensive as all get out. Edited May 20, 2013 by tundrayeti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goobermunch Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 If you've not checked out the Kickstarter, I'd encourage you to take a look. These folks are CRAZY! Uhm. Since I'm one of them, I guess I'm crazy too . . . . --G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great to chat with everyone over the weekend, i can't believe how fast it went by, it's blurr. Can't wait to dig in on mine sometime this summer maybe after i recover from Wfest and get my back orders on stuff out the door... thanks again mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
