That would look really cool, IMO. Are you going to do your Thunder Hammer in the paint style as the MtF paint style to match? I really want to see Kurisama do the parts for the Macross the Ride version, including the leg fast pack thrusters, the vernier nose pack, and the different wings and fins. Well, everything that requires the full version. That would be a project I start on immediately. I'd definitely put the Paladin Prophecy 25 on hold for that, especially since I have the money now for awhile.

I got a few more peices done for the first two to be sent out. Trim colors are being put on, and once the main pieces are done, those will be sent out. Afterwards, I'll have the time to really get to working on these as intended. I have created some new molds, and with some new parts being done in the Task 2, I'm extremely excited about getting back into it. Sorry for the not so great picture My phone is almost dead.

I love seeing the creativity in the displays. You guys are awesome.

Macross World Podcast - feedback & comments
Jasonc replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
This seems like it was in the timeframe you wanted these podcast. Good episode. Mike's description of Mirage, Hayate, and Freyja is purrrfect. -
I'm a little new to this thread, so forgive me if it hasn't been asked yet, but is this in a particular scale?

I can't get them perfect, but for what they are, they are pretty good. That clear part on the right was a test piece, and so the one made after was much cleaner and full. I'm starting to assemble a couple of the painted parts already, so two are almost done, minus decals. After that, major assembly line work. BTW, I ended up getting a gallon of Task 2 resin for really cheap, so while I can't redo all the parts, I will finish what I have (really the smaller fragile parts) with it. I don't want some of these parts just easily breaking, like they can. Yes, it's a kit, but it's supposed to be a semi functional kit, so I want some of those moving parts solid. Unfortunately for the project, I didn't do any work over the weekend. I got the material, but I spent 4 days at a seminar, so I really had zero time. Work begins again today after work.

Hi dur, Thanks for the offer. I'll definitely pick your brain on this project when I really start to pick it up. I'm a bit behind on another project due to work changes, and other things, but once I get done with that, I'm going to pick this up again. I'd really like to get details on this process and costs associated. It really does come down to demand and cost, as does just about everything, but in between that, I have only done a little bit of testing for prototype part. Thanks for your help. I very much appreciate it.

Here is one picture of the clear resin, and one picture of a painted kids in progress. As you can see in the clear resin, it does still need a little bit of Polish and clean up comma but when you put it inside the kit it looks good.

Sadly, I got my Nexx version, and the leg attachment for the SAP had two left side attachments, making it impossible for me to attach the right leg. It's not a big deal, as I'm able to return it and get a new one with all my shipping covered and whatnot, but from what I did handle of it, it is connecting better in the leg and arm section of fighter. That being said, I hate the rear wing/backpack pieces, and how they're designed. While those connect much better as well, the thought of them being connected by a tiny screw that SHALL get loose, is just ridiculous. It should've been a stronger plastic, with metal going throughout the length of it at least (even better would've been a hinge/hybrid system for it to lock into multiple areas). I love it, but I hate it. I hate to love it because it's so bad, but I guess that's better than loving to hate it. Not worth the money I paid for it, but I don't expect to ever have these toys again. Macross II is just an odd toy line. Maybe if they stick with non transforming mecha, I can deal with that.

Well, the good news is, the clear resin is actually quite clear. It's much easier to work with, and although it takes 16 hours to cure, it's makes it look about as good as can be. Well, it's only as clear as the original part, so it's not going to be like looking through glass, but it's probably better that way.
-
No problem. I wish I could be faster with it. I'm getting pretty good at getting all the trouble areas of the recasts, so the ones that are going onto the assembly line are going to be good. Today I find out how the new clear resin is, so fingers crossed that it's beautiful and clear.
-
I'll post a pic soon of some of the painting. I got some of the work back yesterday from the other guy, and it's OK. Not great, but it's mass production painting, so it's a bit difficult to get that personal touch to it. I will fix some of the rough spots. I'm also going to switch to a white primer instead of grey. The grey requires more orange paint to get the right color, but I have just enough to finish the ones I'm doing now.

I'm off to bed now, but I'll do that when I'm up tomorrow.

2nd order confirmed from elsewhere. 2 places worked for me. I'll probably be getting rid of one and just keeping one when time gets close. If anyone missed out, I'll gladly offer it to anyone who missed out at what I payed for it with shipping and all.
-
I got one. Finally, after years and years of having to pay the weeks after and super high prices, I'm finally in the clear. Damn computer started slowing down right before, too, so I reloaded about 15 seconds before midnight, and lucky to say that that worked. I got mine from amiami.

I thought HLJ had a place holder, but I don't see one.

14 minutes.... Now 13

NY always seems to be a late comer anyways, and I use them as last resort. I'm not too worried about that.
-
I want to get in while they're at their lowest, but honestly, I'm sure we'll all be able to get one if we don't right away. They're usually available afterward with NY, or one of other places. I have my spot to get one, so I'll be checking there first.

Is there a plugin anyone uses to notify a change on a link?
-
Thank God I don't have to work the next day, or I'd most likely just miss the preorder. Is there any sort of time given? Sorry if it's been answered. I haven't been in here in a very long time.
-
Awesome. I'm gonna get one eventually. I know the price of parts there, so I'll probably have to do it in sections at a time. Thanks for making it available.
-
It's available on your Shapeways?
-
I'm happy about these. I'm not big on the Nendoroid line, but there are a few good things that do come out of the seemingly millions they do. This, along with the May'n version, will be some of those good things.
-
It's a little too cool of a blue and need a lighter grey in there to make it not contrast so much. I don't remember what the animation color came out to, but from what I remember my reaction being, it was pretty damn nice looking. I'd be happy with it being more grey than blue.
