sbantonelli Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Excellent news! Where did the ES-11B come from?
derex3592 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Mr. Captain America was nice enough to find me one copy he had around. He made the kit a year or so ago.
505thAirborne Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Today was a good day...... A very good day, I'm rather a tad jealous of you! Hope you find the proper purple paint and shows these darlings off as they are completed.
derex3592 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Oh don't worry....I'll be posting in progress pics over on the workbench forum.
PetarB Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 The ES-11B is a gorgeous kit. You can see my build-up in my signature below.
CoryHolmes Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 It's okay with me, Cap'n. I'm in no rush. ... though if audio works better, a video series showing how it's done would be best...
sbantonelli Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Mr. Captain America was nice enough to find me one copy he had around. He made the kit a year or so ago. Congratulation! That's one of my favorite kits. As for you, PeterB, your Cat's Eye is the reason I never post pictures of mine. Curse you!
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) i envy you derex3592 Captain, thanks for shipping my kit to EXO, he got it in the mail today. Much Appreciated!!! Updated the sales thread that there's room for 6-7 more kits to be made if the numbers are met and to post here or pm you directly. Edited January 23, 2014 by davidwhangchoi
shdwfx2000 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I'm down for one. And of the second go around if all we lack is another, I'll take two
derex3592 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Congratulation! That's one of my favorite kits. As for you, PeterB, your Cat's Eye is the reason I never post pictures of mine. Curse you! This will probably be the exact reason I never post pics of mine...LOL...we'll see.
DarkArchon3000 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I'm more than happy to order another Pinky to help out for another round. Please count me in for 2. (Envisioning diorama of Pinkys smashing broken Aoshima Legioss parts)
Ghadrack Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Woohoo I've been somewhat off the grid for quite a while, this was a nice thread to come back in and see. I'd be interested in a kit if there are any still available. -Zach
PetarB Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Got mine. It's a little smaller than I expected, but it is absolutely gorgeous. Congratulation! That's one of my favorite kits. As for you, PeterB, your Cat's Eye is the reason I never post pictures of mine. Curse you! No, no, no! The more the merrier! I always love seeing other people's build-ups. I wish there were more...
neptunesurvey Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Got mine. It's a little smaller than I expected, but it is absolutely gorgeous. No, no, no! The more the merrier! I always love seeing other people's build-ups. I wish there were more... I believe my Cat'e Eye build is in the Workbench thread somewhere.
dkev Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Hello Captain Got mine in the Office Mail this afternoon!!! Thank You!!! Dkev
Squigglysquid Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I'm probably breaking some rule making my first post here, but I like to lurk about the internet looking for cool models and things of beloved Macross, and I happened upon the モスカト stuff and went "ooooooh"...which led me to stumbled about here a bit before finding I could...BUY ONE?! =D Can I, can I? The craftsmanship is AMAZING! Anyway, I should be asleep now, but if I could find myself on a list for one of these, that would make my day! Cheers!
captain america Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 Well it looks like the 6 slots filled up mighty fast! If I saw correctly it's: Cesar Enriqueshdwfx2000 (2)Dark Archon3000 (2)GhadrackTHOR Guess I'll go ahead and order some of that fancy resin and get my a$$ in gear
Jasonc Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Still waiting I'm still waiting on mine as well. I was hoping I'd get it today, so that I could start to work on it.
mechaninac Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Still waiting for my Pinky Crab to arrive...
sbantonelli Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Mine came today. It's an exceptional kit, thanks for your hard work!
Tober Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Captain's crabs have spread to Australia.

Thanks derex3592 Got any suggestions for the lavender color?
Squigglysquid Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Well it looks like the 6 slots filled up mighty fast! If I saw correctly it's: Cesar Enrique shdwfx2000 (2) Dark Archon3000 (2) Ghadrack THOR Guess I'll go ahead and order some of that fancy resin and get my a$$ in gear =\ Copy, I write too much... Can I please get in on this? I'll take sloppy 7th's if they're available, or if one of the guys with 2 would be willing to let me join I'd be most appreciative...
Ghadrack Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Woohoo, glad I made the list. Shoot me a pm and lemme know if the old payment method preferences are still intact or how and when you want payment. Really happy to see you back on a macrossworld project Captain!

You know there are going to be stragglers...
DarkArchon3000 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Captain, I don't mind giving one up if necessary so that Squigglysquid can get one. We've all been Invid deprived for too long. Edited January 25, 2014 by DarkArchon3000
Squigglysquid Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Captain, I don't mind giving one up if necessary so that Squigglysquid can get one. We've all been Invid deprived for too long. arigatou! Seriously, I definitely appreciate it. If the molds will allow for 7 then I don't want to take from anyone else, but I'm grateful you're willing to let me in if that's not an option.
derex3592 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) So today I went to Hobby Lobby as they have a decent selection of the Vellajo acrylics I've been looking at. They didn't have the purple colors of course, but MegaHobby carries them online so I ordered 1 of each of the following to try. Royal Purple, Purple, and Violet. These seem to be the best bet for the Crabs so far, as Tamiya and Testors do not offer a suitable dark NON pearl purple. I purchased one bottle of Vellajo Neutral Grey just to see if it airbrushed nicely for me. It does! I thinned it with distilled water as per the Vellajo website and it layed down nicely on some spare parts I had lying around. Looks just as good as Tamiya IMHO. They have something like 200+ colors in their model paint line with FS standard colors and lots of other cool colors as well. I may have found my new favorite paint. We'll see! So when I get the 3 purples in I will put up some pics of paint tests and let you guys see what you think. More to come. Edited January 26, 2014 by derex3592
derex3592 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Picked this up today to soak all my resin parts in. Hopefully this will prevent paint not adhering to the parts on down the road.
