Thank you guys ! Pre-orders are still open until approx 1st of August. It is still time to grab one!
-
We also added clear canopies to the drone, mine was semi opaque because it was printed in FXD, but later they will be casted in crystal clear plastic. A few shots with painting:

I don't have a lot of things related to Macross yet. Later maybe

I have collected a great portion of the $50 deposit, but still missing a few of them: please check your private messages to send your deposit. This is important that you pay the deposit soon so that all the material can be paid without second thoughts and have this project to be as smooth as possible! Thank you!

Wow! Really nice portraits! I like the idea of the book, something we can carry with us when we go far away from our collection! I usually take pictures with my phone and go with it, but these valks deserve High Resolution ! -
Ha yes, I see now I knew this kit but didn't know it comes with vehicules. Certainly something to queue in my todo list for 1/60 scale. Are you doing this diorama for the Macross convention, looking forward to see how it turns out, but already nice and it reminds a great scene!
-
Hi valid! I didn't know about the "macross hangar" do you have any info about it? I could be interest to make a few of these vehicles in 1/60 scale!
-
You can grab one from shapeways anytime, they are really nice, apart from the "cleaning the wax from the wheels" part
-
Of course you can, it costs $30 more for the painting, to be paid at the same time of the second half payment
-
Aaajin, I just checked and only the head is rotating, the arms are fixed. Anyway Isamu is so awesome that he can ride with its teeth!
-
I have sent to all pre-orderers a message with a llittle resumé of your order, let me know in PM if everything is correct.
-
I am a bit exited: we are good to begin the resin kit thanks to wjrmonkey's last pre-orders and thanks to all the earlier ones! The pre-orders are still open for those on the late until we start the injection, which is approx 3 weeks after collecting the pre-payments. I will begin to collect the $50 deposit and contact informations in PM.

Glow In The Dark Paint Question (Clear/Transparent)
Xigfrid replied to no3Ljm's topic in The Workshop!
I buy from "Glow in the Dark" the pigment that I mix in "2 Ton Epoxy" which is crystal clear epoxy. I have used their Ultra Green V10 and their Ultra Blue powder and I am pretty happy with these. The Ultra Green V10 tends to glow bright for 10mins, then very dim and dimmer over the whole night. The Ultra Blue dims quicker and extinct after 5-6 hours. When I mean "dim", it means you need to be in complete dark to see the light. I found that the Iphone torch can charge instantly the pigment, so it is very convenient to obtain a bright effect anytime ! I have read reviews of their paint and they seem to work greatly also. But keep in mind that the green will be always the brightest and longest, blue in second and other colors would dim and extinct very quickly. -
1x anubis20 (+1x painting) noted! We need 2 more before unleashing the production!

I didn't know about the moving arms! I will test it once the bike is dry though. Cool8r, I modeled the 1/72 scale version and I have checked the tolerances, they are good so I made it available on my shop. I have also put the 1/48 scale. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/xigfrid3dshop?section=Macross+Plus+bike&s=0
-
Feasible, any interest for a 1/72 version?
-
Kurisama has already made the 1/60 and put them for sale in his Shapeways shop. Leave him a PM if you want the 1/72 version. Let me know if he can do it ortherwise I could make a 1/72 version. In the mean time, the prototype is getting more colors. It is still in process though.

Painting is not my best skill, I am working on it Still looking for a descent Lucy! If you spot her somewhere on ebay/amazon/hobby shop, let me know! Probably I am going with one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-72-Preiser-72403-Girls-Figurines-ORIGINAL-BOX-/291434402659?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item43dad81363 I used Frost Extreme Detail, mostly because I have never tried this material before. I think the quality would be almost the same as in Frost Ultra Detail. Testing Isamu on his bike, he is firmly sit, but so alone right now
-
Received it today, and I am pretty happy with how it comes ! As usual, the tight tolerances made printing residues to stack between the wheels and the motorcycle, so patience is required to inserted a wire in between and slowly remove all the dust that block the wheels to turn. here is the free front wheel! Next step: masking the canopy and have it painted!
-
The resin would be dyed so it would match the anime red/orange. The basic kit can easily assembled and requires only detailing, like painting in metallic grey the reactor, black band on the middle of the drone, black strip between the upper and bottom sides of the nose, the red stripe on the upper cockpit, painting the inside cameras, etc That's the most that I could do. Jasonc is doing the painting job and he can explain better than me.
-
Hum that would be to my Paypal account, as usual I will invite pre-orderers to send as a gift or to add the 4% to cover paypal fees. I still have to give my email in private message as soon as we reach 12 pre-orders for each scale or 23-24 total pre-orders.
-
I am taking pre-orders. The kit is $85. Plus $30 for optional painting if wanted. Plus shipping from USA. Unfortunately I don't know the rates for Indonesia. I will ask a front payment of $50 to secure a pre-order, the rest when the kit is ready to ship.

That's a good idea indeed !
