You can put me in for a special wing! The resin got my curiosity and additionally the low visibility drone could benefit of the white base color

That's a pleasure! For enamel paint, sound pretty safe. The painted ghosts are using Tamyia TS spray which is supposedly "hotter" than enamel. The color chart is quiete simple, the main body use Mica red (TS-85 sprayed in a can then airbrushed), 5 canons in Gun metal + some black brushing, all the inside such as landing gears, missile bay is white. At the rear, the reactors have been tricky. I will have a few pictures soon to show the result! Looking really nice with its deadly friends Can't wait to see the built too! Everything is perfectly right, don't worry. The clear parts are exactly as you described them, clear on the visible outside areas: easy to refined with sanding/tooth paste brushing etc. Apply a gloss coat when satisfied with the finish. The interior is cloudy, and a simple gloss coat should make it less cloudy. But you don't really need to worry as this side is supposed to be painted so it represents the details of the eye. See ? Let me know

Unless you aim at a total of 365 parts, you are right on time!

Thanks for the reply, and as the others said: WOW!

Thank you for the feedback, I am looking forward for the built progress now! Just a piece of warning concerning the UN spacy kite logo: the glue is super strong, so be careful when applying it. You can put a gloss coat before applying the sticker/mask. I did use the kite on top of the white primer, and still have some primer chip out.

I really like the number bay, did you use some decals? Or you have just painted them?

Didn't know where to put this kickstarter project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1094489804/formbox-a-desktop-vacuum-former-that-makes-beautif Still more expensive than buying of Ebay an old dental vaccum former, but interesting! -
This one is more like red Ferrari! Don't make it orange!

Not really fan of this valk, but any custom build is a pleasure to follow!

zooming in the 2 last closeup pictures, and still discovering new details! Amazing work and painting

That was not so recently, how can time passes so fast... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=39470&p=1246175 The fix really help the wing not moving the 7mm backward when in normal mode. But it doesn't "lock" it in place like a true design should have been

I will also be looking closely to what you come with. I recently post a quick fix solution, but a more robust one, with click stops would be really something!

Just updated first post: "The production is complete. Shipping has started for Unpainted version. Painted Ghosts scheduled to be available in late May. If you want to secure a kit of the 2nd batch, you can order for Unpainted or Painted version now, I will have a few plastic parts in stock the 14th of May." Also User Manual can be read online here. This is a colored version. Note that a black & white paper version is included in each kit.

Is it this one ? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=36970&p=1265532

Still looking very sexy in these close pictures

Plastic welding glue and it would be as tough as new. If you want this part in metal, that's a completely different story. Making the shape is pretty easy. I don't know if this part has threads but making a screw thread in steel part is difficult and requires very good tools! The option is to make it in brass, but printing brass is more expensive. So check for screws first!

They look big enough for 1:60 spanner! Nice work Jasonc!
-
Truly inspiring! I can't wait to see you building the inner town now!
-
Will do! I will PM you some info Monday
-
Hi man! There is still a few painted kits coming soon that haven't been sold or reserved, so you are still good to secure one.
-
Painted version a bit later, hopefully in 2 weeks, except those who ordered extra painted figures )))
-
I need to finish 3 more kits. For the most part, I have already test fit them, they need a last check. In the mean time I have some UN SPACY kite logo masks being sent to me so that your painting job is easier. I will receive them tomorrow hopefully. Shapeways parts received, I did a fast check and everything seems good. So all in all, I will have the whole first batch sent by the end of the week. You will receive a PM with tracking as soon as I got them.
