Captain Angel Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 (edited) It'll be Uber expensive, no doubt, but after seing the skill with which alfred was making the FALCON (**** you, your C&D, AND the horse you rode in on George lucas!) It'll be worth it... *drool* Edited February 20, 2004 by Captain Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southcross Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 So how big is this gonna be? I think 1/100. LOTS 'O Resin In comparison to size, is it gonna be as big as a home desktop printer? nah, at 1/100th scale its gonna be fairly small. If its true to scale its going to be 8.844" tall, 16.181" long, 3.84" wide. maybe the size of a very small personal printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundamhead Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 (edited) WOW! Thanks for the interest! Well let me clear a few things first of all. Alfred Wong did not create this model. I did, my name is Joe Belding, but I run around as 'Gundamhead' on a couple of sites. I made the most accurate Monster model to date in my opinion. Your dimensions are nearly spot on. My model is 16.15" long (not including the engine plate) and 10.15" tall to the very top of it's rear humps. Most pictures of the Monster have him positioned in a semi-squat, mine is standing. He's about 4" acrossif you don't count the arms, with the arms he's 10.5" wide. Certainly not a small model. The model shown is a model I made, molded, and cast for myself. It is solid and a ton of resin. That model weighs about 5.5 lbs. I took these newer pictures with the 1/100 Macross Factory, a 1/100 Destroid Defender, a couple of 1/100 figures, a 18" steel ruler, and a 1/55 bootleg Valkyrie toy. I hope you will be able to get a good idea of the model's size in 1/100. It is big. http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/zaku2ace/...u2ace/my_photos I sent SMT the master of this this kit. If I remember it's about 53 parts. I sent a decal sheet that included several nose arts. I included a fictional history sheet for all those nose arts. I included instructions. Now I do not know if SMT will offer all of those things, but I really hope they will. They were fun, and in my opinion gives the model a bit of personality. I do not know anything more than anybody else what SMT has planned or how much they plan to ask. I do not know if it will be solid. Your best source for info is to contact SMT.

Sweet-1 Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Trust me, I've been a customer of SMT for a while and an admirer of GH for just about as long. This will be a great kit. Contact Colin (SMT) and let him know about potential kits, he's a super nice guy and always finds time to reply. Gundamhead and Alfred Wong designing for SMT, life is good.

Grayson72 Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 (edited) The chunky plain one was the 1/72 wonderfest one . I'd kill for a nicely molded 1/72 monster by this guy. Edited February 21, 2004 by Grayson72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dax415 Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Just thought I'd share this response i got with everyone else.... "Hello, thanks for the interest in our kit (pictures will be up this week). Price is not set yet, but expect around the $150.00 USD range." Sincerely, Colin Omilusik Scale Model Technologies www.smt.theshoppe.com Hopefully all of this will happen soon maybe enough orders will come in to lower the price or at least not have it go up drastically.

ChristopherB Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 No news yet, apparently. I checked the website again this morning, and unless it is a typo, the last update posted is from (13) months ago. "Latest News and Press Releases PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: Update for March 2003." According the most recent e-mail from (1) month ago, pictures should have been up by now, but I didn't see them.

Less than Super Ostrich Posted April 5, 2004 Author Share Posted April 5, 2004 Man. I'm getting a little frustrated. I was hoping this thing would be ready by now. However, I guesss a couple weeks late is nothing compared to the "Tanmen fiasco". I have lots of ideas on how to provide some more detail with some engraved panel lines and other greeblies.

one_klump Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 ok, hmm, the brute is close, lets see if we can seal the deal... Will the arms/cannons be poseable? I can deal with the legs being in a fixed position, they have alot of weight to hold up How many parts are we talking about here? main body, cannons, arms, legs? Plus, this will be my first resin kit, so I am a newb on painting resin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
