    Me too. But glad I made it in for the 1/48 scale one.

    it sure did say 31/12/13. Wonder what that means. Maybe a fan based short film? It did put the disclaimer about HG and it's copyrights and all. It can't be anything more than you tube clips... for now.

    Whatever method and techniques the Capt'n uses, no detail is lost. no panel line or rivet gets erased. I have seen the detail in the commanchero gunship kit, even those thin fragile pieces come out finely cast.

    Me too. I was hoping to be able to get another but finances are tight. I had envisioned one built unmodified, and another in a diorama. Set in a swamp, its coming out with weeds and green algae falling off it as it surprises an unsuspecting group of freedom fighters. Ah, but it was just a dream. Hahaha.

    Not bad Photoshop images. It really gives you a good idea as to what it would look like one is all painted.I can imagine some battle damage and heavy weathering.

    I just found this in one of my macross books. Maybe it helps fill in the dead space up top.

    Start off at the price you paid for it at least. That way you don't loose out. If it's been 5 years or more, consider the inflation value and the rise in cost of living. lol. $30 Hahaha

    I always wondered about that. Thank you. That's awesome, I have 2 bottles of the plum crazy color, when I was "crazy" about Mopars.

    Hey Captain, what do you use to "glue" the wood together? Did you use putty on the feet/claw section? Great job so far. Good job choosing the reference illustration, I know how difficult it is when looking for consistent art from 70's and 80's cartoons. Keep up the good work and the inspiration.

    I would suggest some panel lines up on the top. Most large armored vehicles are not made in large parts. More like a few panels to ease repairs.

    Do we post our questions for John here?

    Jasonc and exo have them on shapeways, but as 1/55 scale. Not 1/48 scale. Plus, reading through the "interest" thread, there is only 1 example of the shipped product, and it's not a good review. Other members were happy with their figures, but none actually posted pictures of them.

    Awesome, downloading now. For those who need a spanish translation, I volunteered my sister to help out. Just PM me. lol.

    I bought one from a member here a few months back. I should really get off my unemployed butt and start building. (or get a job)
  15. coronadlux
    Do we have the desired 30? A nice ride armor figure would be great to place in a diorama.Hope there is a chance for one.
  16. coronadlux
    Sweet. I would really like to know what makes the Captain tick. Anxiously waiting til tomorrow.

    As promised, more pics. Here is the cockpit: Here's what I have to work with with the front part. I have already started the epoxy work. This is what ideally, I would like to end up with (forgive my amateur photoshop). Thin out the side profile a bit (red lines) Build up the walls with room for the cockpit to slide in. and of course, redo the canopy, unless my old one will work.

    So after assessing the extent of the damage, I'm stuck with a very sad front end. I will spare you all the sad photos of it.I removed all the clay, broke it some more in the process. Yes, lots of cussing and swearing because I was almost there, I could see the end of the sculpting tunnel. The fun part would begin, assembling and painting. But, that's life. Good news, I went ahead and decided to build the cockpit interior separate from the chopper. That way, I would be able to paint it outside and insert it into the model afterwards. I also made the trail rotor blades and hub. I also started sculpting the front again. This time using 2 part epoxy which should withstand another unfortunate enemy attack. Kids are fine, wife is good too. Kids learned a good science lesson. Radiation + resin= fumes. Fumes + human does NOT equal super hero that can fly. Hahaha. More pics tomorrow after I work on it some more to fool myself into thinking it's ok.

    That is one awesome build. But, after all the hardships, finding, buying and collecting loads of 1/200 scale destroids, why would you sell it? Yes, space is an issue (I have that too) but I'm sure you could find a spot for it. I'm sure that aside from all the years spent building it, you cannot honestly count the cost of materials used for it and recoup the costs. I would just think long and hard before deciding to sell it.
  20. coronadlux
    Agreed.
  21. coronadlux
    Wow. I might have to find me one of them models to build. I do sympathize with you and the resin problem. My first resin model ended up through into a box to be forgotten. Hahaha
  22. coronadlux
    Any skill level 2 enterprise model would be good to get his feet wet. Or, a 1/100 scale macross model... just saying.

    By the way guys, a strong word of caution, NEVER EVER EVER microwave resin, or modeling clay. My wife told me that the microwave started emitting strange smoke, and when she opened the door, it all came out in some toxic (presumably) cloud. She immediately took the stuff outside, opened windows, turned on fans and took our nephews outside. Whatever it was, she has a headache and was nauseous for an hour or so.

    So, coming home from a job interview, I was thinking of spending some time to scribe some panel lines and rivets. Then, this greets me! Seems that while I was gone, "someone" decided to blow up a "toy" by using the microwave. Oh brother. Who ever knew clay would expand so much even after it has been baked. All I can do is sigh, and see what I can do. This might actually be good since I was wondering how I was gonna have a friend mold and cast it. He wouldn't be able to do it as a whole. Here are a few more:

    THAT's your man cave? Holy cow! Mine, if you can call it a cave, can just fit a workbench and my tool boxes. Great work btw.
