Pat S Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Thought some of you would get a kick out of these... Check out the Green Legioss detail pics, I'm still amazed! The only one not built by Jung is the red Legioss.

gnollman Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Damn... some hot models! I'm not too knowledgeable about the Mospeada kits... what kits are those in the Green and Blue detail pics? Quote
Solscud007 Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 God that Imai kit by jung is so pretty. Even Kin's Paper model puts that alpha MPc to shame. Quote
Pat S Posted August 23, 2004 Author Posted August 23, 2004 I'm not too knowledgeable about the Mospeada kits... what kits are those in the Green and Blue detail pics? Those are 1/48 IMAI Legioss kits. Quote
promethuem5 Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 yowsers.....those are simply fantastic. those are some very beutiful pieces you have there Quote
Pat S Posted August 23, 2004 Author Posted August 23, 2004 God that Imai kit by jung is so pretty. Even Kin's Paper model puts that alpha MPc to shame. Awww, if you can find one that doesn't break out of the box, I think the sculpt is pretty good. The pics would look a little better if I waited to take pics after I learned how to transform it and lock the tabs down too. Quote
EXO Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 I actually prefer the MPC sculpt more, aside from the huge feet. The hideous seam lines on the MPC stand out so much next to that kit though... Great collection Pat S! Quote
eugimon Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 hmm, the MPC looks pretty good up there... fighter mode is still a mess though. and those are some great pics! thanks! Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Whoa. I like how you can make out their faces inside the helmet. Nice stuff! Quote
SDFcommander Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 WOW Pat S Those Ride Armor/Cyclones kits are a sight to behold Thanks for starting a separate thread to show these babies off! Do you know if Jung id doing any more he can let go? ...come on Toynami, please work on those qc issues I would love to have a MPC Cyclone too along with the Shadow Fighter and Beta Quote
Pat S Posted August 23, 2004 Author Posted August 23, 2004 I don't know what Jung's up to now, you can reach him by sending a PM to Jung. Quote
Mechafan Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Those are some great pictures. I enjoyed them all. Excellent work you have put into those kits. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 freakin awesome!! Can't expect less from jung!! Quote
Kin Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 WOOHOO HOT!! Man cool models!! Even a toynami can't beat the IMAI and Jung's skills Quote
bbarr97 Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Did anyone else notice that the 1/48 Imai kit is the SAME size as the MPC Alpha? I was under the impression that the MPC Alphas were 1/55 in scale but they look more like 1/48 instead. So the final question is. Is the IMAI model off scale or is the MPC Alpha off scale? bbarr97 Quote
zeo-mare Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 god those are fantastic looking. very nice collection. how much did you spend on these anyhow? chris Quote
Myersjessee Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Gorgeous! Stunning! AWESOME! ...its interesting how similar the Toynami MPC turned out next to the IMAI... Quote
Gabe Q Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Those look very nice. I not a big fan of Mospeada but those look awesome. Just out of curiosity, how long do you think it takes an experienced modeler like Jung to build one of those? I mean, it takes me anywhere from 30 to 40 hours to build one Hasegawa valk! And my results suck compared to his. Quote
jenius Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Is the IMAI model off scale or is the MPC Alpha off scale? I believe the correct answer is: Neither one is correct. Both kits are somewhere between 1/48 and 1/55. Somebody on RT.com did the math for us and we figured that 1/55 would be a bit smaller than the MPC and 1/48 would be a bit larger than the Imai. Personally, I love the MPC sculpt. I own the models to make all three of the Legioss but damn, after seeing this I'd never be happy with my own attempt Don't hold the MPC's fighter mode against it based on the comparison pic, the front "fins" are still pushed down instead of being in their proper position making it look kinda sloppy. Looks like the back flap that fits the shoulder mounted sensor (whatever that thing is) fits a lot better on MPCs and the front fins are anime correct on the MPCs (as far as their folding behind the mech in battloid). For a model, those Legioss are super impressive though. I never understood where they got that center missle stand and top mounted gun though... those don't appear in the series do they??? Does this Jung character still build and paint models for people? Maybe he can do my Legioss too! Quote

Does this Jung character still build and paint models for people? Maybe he can do my Legioss too! Interesting. Thanks for putting me in the know on the scale. It still looks like the model and the MPC are exactly the same size height wise though. I still have three of those IMAI models waiting to be built. Quote
trueblueeyes Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 I'd love to know what colors Jung used on Stick's cyclone and armor. I can't seem to find a color I like that really looks right. Even following the directions on the instructions, the color just doesn't look right to me. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Melissa Quote
jenius Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 (edited) Interesting. Thanks for putting me in the know on the scale. It still looks like the model and the MPC are exactly the same size height wise though. I still have three of those IMAI models waiting to be built. Yep, don't get me wrong, they are both the same scale. It's just that they're both like 1/51 scale if you want to be overly proper. That's assuming the math done on RT.com was proper. Obviously that makes it close enough where if you said it was either 1/55 or 1/48 you're close enough to being right where no one will argue with you on something this small. Then again... these MPCs have pretty tricky transformations and maybe the person who did the math just didn't extend the toy out far enough and it really ought to be 1/48 scale. Let the debate live on.... Edited March 24, 2005 by jenius Quote
sktchrtst2002 Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Wow! Very sweet pics of both. I saw the MPC at COMICCON and noticed the *stomach* seemed to stick out too much underneath! Heh, seems it doesn't need landing gear! But thanks for the photo show there! Maybe someone will buy both, take the best features, and make the ultimate resin kit. Quote
ComicKaze Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 It'd be awesome if you could find a Gakken toy and get him to do it for you like that custom one we saw earlier. Quote
Hoptimus Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Thanks alot. Now I have to go home and watch my entire Mospeada DVD set again. I love this series. Those kits are really well built. Quote
Jawjaw Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Nice pics. I love Jung's work, Mospeada, and good pics. I also like the comparison pics. Neither the Imai or the Toynami is close to perfect. Both do some things well and others things not so well. I like the MPC, though, but wish Toynami spent a little more time making the fighter mode look better. Quote

I may just sell my VF-1 Masterpiece set and have the 1/48 Yamato and Masterpiece Alpha compliment since they are very close to scale. Thanks! Brad Quote
captain america Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 I like the MPC, though, but wish Toynami spent a little more time making the fighter mode look better. They did. If anything, Toynami improved greatly on the fighter mode of the Legioss, and it's immensely nicer and more accurate than the Imai model... They also "borrowed" the kinked-LEX and extended wing planform from my 1/32 model, but that's another story alltogether. For what it's worth, the fighter mode will always be arthritic at best; it's just a byproduct of that design, and to over-emphasize the fighter mode would just result in an Armo-Soldier that looks retarded and unflattering.

I dunno if it is better. I mean the landing gears are a little small compared to the Imai. Imai fighter mode looks really sweet. Quote

I may just sell my VF-1 Masterpiece set and have the 1/48 Yamato and Masterpiece Alpha compliment since they are very close to scale. Well, i guess another way to tell would be to see how natural 1/48 Yammie pilots look next to the Alphas. Quote
Pat S Posted March 25, 2005 Author Posted March 25, 2005 You guys haven't seen Jung's red Fuke fighter yet have you? The one on my website now was not built by Jung. I'll have to snap some more pics with all of them together soon. Quote
Pat S Posted March 25, 2005 Author Posted March 25, 2005 I forgot Jung already posted pics before he sold it. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...66&hl=pics&st=0 Quote
