Yeah, pretty sad for Shapeways. I think their service of buying prints was killed by the amount of personal printers available. That said, their nylon prints were done by an SLS (not a personal nylon printer) style printer, which is in the amount of $10K to own. There are other printer services that have these, but you need the file yourself.

I wasn't sure if I wanted one of these when they first came out the first time, but at some point, well after it was released, wanted one. With this release, and the price being low enough, decided to get one of these. If anything, the stand looks quite cool, so I'm happy about that.

In having the Japanese Blu ray of MII, that was a really good quality version of the OVA. I always felt that it was the definitive version to come. Being that it looks almost like it was done in the past several years (minus the fact that it's all hand drawn), I was thoroughly impressed with that version. I'm excited to see how this goes. So far, I'm quite impressed and I hope this can truly be the definitive version. I will have to say though, the biggest joy out of this is the Subtitles, but even more is the English dub. I love the original voices, but the English dub is like the best of bad dubbing, and it carries its own epic seal of approval in that sense. I definitely plan to do a watch party when it's out.

These are really cool. With only a limited amount of Japanese I can understand. I was only getting about 25-30% of what was being said. It's great to finally get it all. Thanks!!!

I've been able to get back to working on this project, and I am pretty happy to say that there's some new parts being done. I still need to sort out what I wanna do with the feet and legs as far as giving them a bit more articulation, but there's definitely enough references and designs out there to pick one. Originally I was going to do this with a 2.25mm thickness, but with the better material I have, I make it thinner, at least in the main body. The legs will probably keep the 2mm, and that should work.

I haven't cared too much about watching these on streaming, but I was a bit happy to see this post, hinting at working again on physical media. Courtesy of Bigwest's Facebook

I never got that Milia was saying that Max was beautiful. As a Zentran, those weren't words they would know, and even if she was able to learn human language of Japanese, I don't think her extremely limited knowledge of culture would have her respond like that. I think she was either just repeating it because she didn't know what that was, or was repeating it more inquisitively.

Being late to a party to enjoy the party favors is better than never coming. I hope you were able to find one.

That is pretty much me as well. Although, while I do have the Ostrich and 1D, I got the 1D simply for the Fan jet, as it's not in a 1/48 scale, and the Ostrich, well, TBH, I was more interested in the accessories (tent, figures). 1/60 is a great scale. With my collection going on for 20+ years, larger scales now seem to be a bit overwhelming. And while I do have a couple rooms I can display stuff in, I'd simply rather not, and just keep it to 1. I guess we'll get reports from WF 2025 Winter if Arcadia shows anything. I'm hoping there's news on the VF-5000 and the Minmay. They showed off re-releases last year, and well, OK fine. I don't need a 5th VF-1S with the same paint scheme.

If I am able to get one, I definitely will. I'd love to work on it, and possibly even use it to work on a larger version with new mechanics. This one looks great, but there seems to be a bit of gap issues. That said, I love it.

Glad someone found one... If anyone gets the file to print, this is just my advice, but I'd suggest getting it printed on a SLS in a Nylon, something that has very good strength and can withstand movement. Regular resin printers won't cut it, and even the Tough 2000 Resin I have, while just like plastic, might not be enough (although, I should still try to find my file and test it). There are other resins I can use that would be great for it, but their drawback is that they aren't really paintable. For those, nylon is probably best.

I'm still looking for them. I think my problem is that I didn't name it well, and I'm just not finding it in the library of stuff. I'm going to be opening up each file since the name I thought it was on isn't in there.

The VF-0A is good news as I do like this design. My only question is.... WHERE IS THE DAMN GHOST FOR THIS!?!?!?

I have a file for this that I can put up on shapeways. I gotta pull out my old external drive. If you don't get working pieces, I'll have them up most likely in a couple days.

Richard Epcar is there every single year. It's his New Year's cash grab. That said, I'm more interested in seeing Aramakisan and Tomonorisan. Those two, are the only reasons I might consider going, being that it's only a 15 minute drive from my house. Then again, getting paid a lot of money for overtime sounds great as well. Tough decisions, LOL

I do like their weirdly named Gnerl. I did back their campaign, but in just looking over the way the Kickstarter is setup, I think anyone with some sense of analytics could tell this is born to fail. Offering a number of different figures, and various larger mecha in one shot is a lot for people to figure out. It's also a bad time to have something like this, considering people are also buying gifts for family and their significant others and all that. I'd actually buy everything they are releasing, but when some of those have a proposed release date of September of next year, yeah, that's a bit too long. They should've just did it for the figures, and maybe even half of them, and with the amount of money they've raised so far, if we were dividing that money into the amount of products, they'd have enough to at least release 1/3 of it. They need to pull this off, and rethink how they want to do this. Maybe start with the Glaug, and a few of the figures, then the Gnerl with more figures, then then maybe the recon pod with others. Better yet, don't do a damn Kickstarter, as people like me have been burned by them. I only back highly reliable companies now, so I kinda trust this, but even as a backer, if this got funded, I'd be extremely nervous.

Same to you. Updates will be coming at some point.

It's going to be on hold for the rest of the year due to a few things, one being holidays, but the other being school. I'm working on a second degree (for job promotion), so my time in working on projects has been much more limited. That said, I am getting a Revopoint Metro X scanner that I will be using to take care of some of the bulk design features that have taken up a lot of the time. I'll be able to do a bit more of this once I get some of that done, but in the meantime, there isn't much headway with new parts.

That'd be great. There's a lot of members here I have not met, so it'd be great to meet new and old fans.

Thanks for this info. I was finally able to order this through Buyee. I have it set as an extension on my home computer browser, but still had to put in the link. I ordered 2, so now it's just a waiting game.

This, I'd be happy to get one, but I'm not so sure about the Tornado pack. I already have that from the Renewal version, so Revival version is very unnecessary. AND I already have a revival version. I don't need two of the same thing. But this, I'm looking forward to.

I'll have to buy this when I get home. I'm not getting any options to buy using Buyee, so I don't know if that's the work computer or not. Either way, I'm glad this is coming.

Or make it a yard long drink, and every time you sip, it's like firing the main gun.

LOL, I'd love to make a Regult popcorn bucket...... Wait.... ideas incoming...

Just to clarify, it wouldn't be official memorabilia, but just something given as a thank you for meeting up type of thing.
