captain america Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hi guys, I imagine that most of you have gotten your King Crabs by now. I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that the next kit to be offered will be the Blueberry Crab (Gosu doppleganger) in September. Stay tuned!

tekering Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Preliminary color check... Not sure about the orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) nailed it on the purple/pink. I agree, orange doesn't quite pop enough, looks a little to yellow. Looking forward to seeing the next update! Edited September 3, 2017 by derex3592 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really, REALLY looking forward to see how these babies turn-out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekering Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think I've found a much more accurate orange now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekering Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I have more reference material to share, especially for those of you who ordered multiple sets. You might be interested in making a mass-production unit, for instance: ...or perhaps even a Macross homage...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podtastic Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The bottom right (red) is actually a colour scheme I considered. Needs some white in the mix I think though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekering Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I won't have any progress to show for the next few weeks, I'm afraid. The animatronic Yoda I'm working on has to be submitted by the end of the month to qualify for our annual modeling contest, and I don't have much time to devote to anything else...!

tekering Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Sorry, my Invid projects have been temporarily shelved while I focus on displaying my collection for the local news media: It's been a very time-consuming process, as you can well imagine.

locidm Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Wow! Insane collection. So this is where the awesome N-scale town diorama is housed! Very nice. Given Tekering's locale (Japan), it's interesting how much of the collection come from sources based on Hollywood productions (Star Wars, Star Trek, terminator, iron man, avengers, etc.), and relatively small percentage based on Japanese materials (Macross/Robotech and Godzillas). There are nice Kaijus but no soul of chogokin (except perhaps the ships?) and super robots. The TF collection seems to be most prominent given it's sort of both Japanese and American. Definitely awesome setup. Two/three rooms of just toy displays. I wish I have room to display half my collection! The media will have a jaw dropping day!

Actually, I've got hundreds of anime figures still in storage -- Sailor Moon, To-Heart, Haruhi, Hatsune Miku, K-On!, and less innocent stuff -- that must safely remain out of the public eye. A significant part of my business is teaching elementary school girls, see, so I have to be concerned with my professional image. Even the more sexualized Evangelion or Ghost in the Shell figures remain in the closet (along with a hundred Mobile Suits I just haven't found space to display). Not that it mattered, really, given how totally clueless the reporter was. He'd never seen Star Wars, never even heard of Macross, and standing before my wall of Transformers -- mostly G1, Animated, or movieverse characters -- he turned to me and asked "Are these all Gundams?"

What a waste! You’d think they’d send someone with at least some knowledge on the subject matter to do the interview! The reporter probably didn’t appreciate what she was seeing, at all. I hear you about the figures. I got questioned once over a very innocent looking Minmay figure fully clothed in her signature DYRL pose. You’re wise to do what you did.
