Looking for VOTOMS References in old Hobby Japans!!!
dkev posted a topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hello I have Bandai's 1/20 VOTOMS Ground Use Fatty in the stash; and I vaguely remember an article in Hobby Japan Magazine that details how to turn this version into its Space Mission Type (teal green NO WHEELS) as seen below!!! I was wondering if someone who has that old issue would mind throwing me the Year and Month of Publication so I could some how find that issue for purchase. Thank You!!! -
Any hope of you ever offering the 3D file on Shapeways or the like. I have a few of the 1/72 scale Armo Soliders (Wave and Original Imai ) that your Inbit would look perfect posed next to on the shelf (especially correctly sized for those kits)!!!

Just to be curious what scale is the inbit and what "Kit or Toy" version of the Legioss was it posed next to???

So I wonder why and how 8.75 became the "norm" for the Soldier's Height??? Now if "they" had done Invid mecha "KITS" in 1/72 and 1/48 to the 8.75 height, even given the error of that height I would NOT HAVE COMPLAINED AT ALL!!!
-
Found the pictures below a few minutes ago. they are drawings of the "relative" sizes of Mosdpeada mecha and they "implie" how "off" these kits actually are!!! dkbev
-
OMG that Legioss and Tread are BEAUTIFUL !!!! Where can I find them??? dkev
-
Well isn't this all bloody wonderful!!! Stated scales that are not accurate, I finally get a Invid mecha and Legioss Armo-soldiers look stupidly short as compared to the original anime!!! One last question. The IMAI kis are not accurate in 1/48 and especially in 1/72, is the wave kit closer to accurately being 1/72??? Zdkev
-
Just to be curious is that standing figure 1" high (6 feet at 1/72) ??? If it is you are CLEARLY right the model is too small at its supposed scale of 1/72!!! Major Bummer!!! On the same note is the OLD 1/48 "transformable" Legioss model true to that scale??? Thanks dkev
-
I was just trying to get an accurate picture of what the available models in 1/100, 72 and 48 scale SHOULD BE in height and girth in Armo Soldier mode in comparison to what they really are. These may be a bit off (especially the width) but this is what I have found so far; AFC01H Legioss (Eta) ARMO-SOLDIER MODE Total Height: 8.75 meters Armo - Soldier Height Feet Inches 1/100 1/72 1/48 28.70735 344.4882 3.444882 4.784558 7.176838 Total Width: 4.3 meters (seems a bit wide given the height (but who knows its Anime) Armo - Soldier Width Feet Inches 1/100 1/72 1/48 14.1076 169.2912 1.692912 2.351267 3.5269

Just to be curious does anyone have a "reliable" number of the "ACTUAL" (and I use that term loosely) Height of the Legioss in Armo Soldier mode (feet or meters or etc. doesn't matter)??? dkev
-
Hey Salamander Now that looks really NICE!!!!!!! I see that you got rid of that that 'boxy" missile launcher which IMHO looked out of place. By the way, if you can remember how did you get such a great "red" color scheme?? Now I built this kit back in the 80s so I was probably using a brush to paint it. Hopefully with the equipment I have no it will look a bit better. dkev
-
So even though the box says GAKKEN on it it was "actually" made by Imai??? OooooooooooKay!!! You know I would go with the wave kit but then I would not be able to "pose" or "diorama" the kit to scale with the 1/48 Pinky Space Crab resin kit that I have. Now if there is a 1/72 scale space crab out there somewhere WHERE CAN I GET ONE?????? So I'm back to essentially square one; buy the Gakken (or whoever made the thing) 1/48 kit or just get down to the stash and pull the Monogram reboxed and rebranded Leader One (Legioss)!!!
-
Hey Captain I thought that "ship had sailed" so to speak??? Now if it hasn't color me GREATLY INTERESTED!!!! dkev
-
Hello Captain So that's it then ....... Major MAJOR BUMMER!!!! So before I think of going to the stash and start building the old Monogram Leader One kit I have is there any other option (trying not to blow the bank) to scale with the Pinky Space Crab???? dkev
-
I have one of those in the Stash and know it well. I brought two back in the day, built one kept the other. So you think the Gakken kit in my EBAY link was built using the kit above as a base??? It would make some sense to not totally re-create the wheel to a degree and as a result remove the "transformation" parts so to speak. In any event do you folks think that the GAKKEN kit is worth (look and proportionality (old style construction I can deal with)) what they are asking for it??? Once again I do want a Armor Soldier in the same scale as the 1/48 Pinky Space Crab and this looks like it is the only game in town. dkev
-
Probably!!! I just want to know what you folks think of the "look"!! I surely realize that it is "not" even close to the quality of the new WAVE Kit in 1/72 but if the proportions and look are sort of okay I want to get it. Mine you I've already got the 1/48 fully transformable kit but if the Gakken kit would looks "better" then I would lean towards getting it. Unless there was a better resin garage kit out there somewhere?????? This all would have been a mute point if they (OR SOMEONE) had just made some Invid/Inbit mecha in 1/72 or 1/100 scale!!! dkev

Hello Folks Here is one of the listings on Ebay; http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Genesis-Climber-Mospeada-1-48-Legioss-AFC-01I-Armo-Soldier-Model-Kit-Gakken-/252431029440?hash=item3ac60fd4c0:g:vm4AAOSwOVpXZuYF Hope someone has seen this before.
-
It's a model kit from what I can see on the listing but the box pictures that are visible just don't show enough detail of what the final product will look like IMHO!! So before I put down the money, I was hoping for some information from someone in the know.
-
Hello Folks I just noticed that there are 1/48 Scale Legioss Armo Soldier kits by GakKen available and I was wondering if they are worth a purchase??? I have one of the Pinky Space Crabs and would love to get the Armo Soldier in the same scale. Any information forthcoming would GREATLY Appreciated!! Thank You!!

Hello CrazyDude Could you tell me where you got the legioss paper model. I have been looking for one but the only site I found was "FULL" of spam that prevented the download from starting. Thanks Dkev

Mo-Suu-Pii-Dah Inbitoh in 1/48--Part Deux!
dkev replied to captain america's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hello Cap I would like to get this kit but do you have an idea when you need to have the funds in your hands??? I'm about to take the family on a trip and well for a couple of weeks I'm going to be a bit short. Thanks Dkev -
Hey varitechs Given the price of some of the ones I have seen I "TOTALLY" understand!!! There is also 2 1/48 scale Legioss models in my collection as well as a couple of the Legioss Posables (close enough to 1/48) so I can live with another Inbit in the same scale. But I just had to ask. Dkev
-
Hello Captain and Everyone I think I'm in as well (depending on price as always). Cap given the "size" of the Gamo in 1/48 and as hinted Bigger implies EXPENSIVE would you consider doing such in 1/72. I have a brace of Legioss in 1/72 that are just screaming for Inbit posed next to them on the display case or posed on display stands Dkev.
