The figure is in scale, and from Exo? Yes and yes! Just a heads-up guys: the order window will stay open until Friday night, so any last-minute stragglershave a couple of days left. Casting is nearing completion. Soonly, people will have crabs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a marketing perspective, this makes the most sense. First-time customers like myself will likely want a Moscato kit in-hand (for a clearer idea of the quality of the product, the time-frame involved, and the work required to construct and paint) before shelling out considerably more money for the next one...

They are my hands down favorites. John does an absolutely wonderful job with the complex curves and lines of these mecha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain america Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Good news, everyone!! The Mini-Me's have arrived and I've begun shipping! A huge thanks to Neptunesurvey and Exo for their contributions to the Space Crab revival! I've included a couple images of the Blowsperior figures, which are simply gorgeous! I also took a comparison pic with my 1/48 Legioss cockpit to show what a properly scaled mecha/figure looks like. Also, I will launch the King Crabb revival project on Monday. I understand that some of you who are new to my kits will want to wait and evaluate my work on the Pinky before investing further, which is very sensible. Not to worry, I will leave the order window open a little bit longer this time around. On that note, I'd like to wish you all an excellent weekend.

Incidentally, is your properly-scaled 1:48 Legioss to scale with your 1:48 Invid kits? In other words, did you significantly upscale the Crabs as well, or is their scale based on the official anime stats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mixed-bag: the Gosu had to be upscaled by virtue of the fact that it too has to house a human-sized pilot, so it's very close to the height of a Legioss--as it should be. The other crabs are a little larger than spec, but just marginally. If you look at the "Crab family" pics earlier in the thread, you can see how they al relate to each other.

tekering Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 So, Pinky arrived this morning... and immediately, I set to work assembling him. A pin vice and a Dremel made it easy to drill holes to accommodate Revoltech joints: These parts provided a secure means of connecting the various joints together, so the figure could stand unassisted. They also provide a great deal of articulation! Pinky can even be posed in flight, provided an appropriate stand is available. I've still got to attach the guns, before I go about disassembling and painting him... Pinky should keep me busy for the next week at least. Bring on the King Crab, Cap'n!
