    A Southern Cross wet dream come true!! At some point I'll have to update this pic with your lovely Tanku-Robo builds.

    A Volks 1/100 Blood Temple! Is this SSS or SAV?

    In the event of a reissue, I would incorporate improvements.

    OoOooOoOoOh, I like the sneak-peek!! I think yours is the very first "normal type" Spartas model I've ever seen. Yes, I think you're right about the hands: as much as I wanted to have posable units, fixed, cast round hands just look way better and are more faithful. I see what you did with the elbow and you just gave me a great idea! With a bit of tinkering, I believe I can improve even upon what you did.

    *Takes notes* The forearm mod being specific to a given mode would be challenging to implement, as it will increase parts count, overall cost and leave the builder with more unused parts, but the Walker Cannon heel/toe mod and throwing in extra side-skirts is feasible. I will also alter the foot and heel joint to something more user-friendly. I think the best solution is to have two different anchor points for the foot, so the modeller can select the appropriate one for the mode desired. This will allow the robot foot to sit flatter in WC mode as per the line-art. Two things I'd like to pick your brain for are the hands and elbows: despite searching, I wasn't able to find adequate aftermarket round hands, posable or otherwise, and wonder if there's a specific product you would recommend. I also think the kit elbows could be improved and look forward to seeing your solution--as well as the final build pics!

    I hate to break it to you, Ted, but the reason you had to remove a chunk of material from the bottom of the foot is That said, know that I'm paying close attention to your mods with the intention of implementing (most of) them on a future re-issue of the kit.

    That's a cool mod. The heel looks like it was pushed a tad rearward while the Walker Cannon foot has a new pivot at the toe and its anchor joint is located higher on the calf. I'd have to see more to know if it hampers the Battle Sniper knee bend.

    That's putting it nicely! They managed to take a fantastic Aramaki design and butcher it because they have no sense of aesthetics, to say nothing of the figure's ridiculous child-baring hips! A properly proportioned MOSPEADA rider is completely feasible, and I proved it.

    Mold-prep is done and molds are poured. Should be ready to go early next week.IMG_1952.HEICIMG_1951.HEIC

    Nice publicity pic, but in reality, I doubt you'll ever see the Superhornet carrying more than two of these at a time in anything other than full-on war. It might be able to take-off with that loading, but it sure can't land with it, especially on a carrier at sea with a pitching deck.

    Hi Ted. I see you relied more on the technical schematics than the 3/4 view beauty shots. I originally did that with my 1/72 Destroids, but went the other way for the 1/48 Tomahawk and IMHO came away with a more aesthetically pleasing result. Might be worth considering.

    Can this come back for a limited time? I already have 7 requests.

    Maybe blue is better?
