Dusting your molds with talcum powder works wonders as well.

If you are going to use a PSPorno machine you had better get a stand because you need need the other hand for a hankey.

On a side note. Meyersjesse has a great relationship with us MW people. He brokered several deals for us over the last few years. We all trust him implicitly. I'm sure we would all be happy to pay him a litte for his services. He's a totally upright guy.

Put me down for another kit. That's a total of two for me.

I probably made 40 to 50 Lancer II kits over the years.

Seattle!

Look at the other thread to see it next to a Hasegawa Valkyrie.

That ban was lifted years ago. There may still be some residual effects from it, but I don't think anyone can continue to point to it as the source for lolicon. Wow you are both bull-shitting really hard... Really? I guess I didn't read that when I was boning up on Manga in the mid eighties. I'm so sorry.

The depiction of underage female sexuality in Japan has to do with the ban on depicting adult body hair in Manga and Anime. You guys should really read up on what you are fans of.

I am in for one.

TV.

Way off track guys. I would make a valyrie as best as I can as small as I can then shrink it.

I can shrink rubber molds. So making nice tine Valks is not a problem. I concur about the sewing needle as a scribe tool. I figured out what makes it so great. When you break them they shatter at the breaking point. Not bend like other metals. That means that they are almost as hard as carbide.

TV version. Those are some nice panel shapes. Great choice and craftsmanship.

Serenity is finnished. Any tinkering being done now is just really tight refinement. He could do it if he stuck to the layout that the previous director put down.

That depends on who you are selling it to. If only 50 kits are going to be made I would just spend some money and have one of these guys cast for you and keep the original. I don't want to just throw a random number out there untill I go through it myself.

If you want to do it I suggest selling the pattern to, or cast through Federation Models or another caster. FM has a rotocaster and it does quite nice work. I say don't worry about the casting issues. There are many options. If you build a matching ARMD model it can be cast quite affordably.

Woody?

All you need to do is get a machinist's square. That is a very usefull tool to have for about a hundered reasons. You should have one. If you don't...get one. http://www.geocities.com/budb3/arts/toolm/sqrbvm.html

The pods are just crammed in right now. I have a seperate part for the extension arms. It will be an optional position thingie.

The model is almost entirely laser cut plastic. There is some styrene strip and a couple of watch gears too.

Here's an update on my model; http://home.comcast.net/~cobywan/Images/Ga...alactica008.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cobywan/Images/Ga...alactica009.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cobywan/Images/Ga...alactica010.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cobywan/Images/Ga...alactica011.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cobywan/Images/Ga...alactica012.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cobywan/Images/Ga...alactica013.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cobywan/Images/Ga...alactica014.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cobywan/Images/Ga...alactica015.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cobywan/Images/Ga...alactica016.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cobywan/Images/Ga...alactica017.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cobywan/Images/Ga...alactica018.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cobywan/Images/Ga...alactica019.jpg
