For all of you who have purchased models, here are the instructions for your kit(s).

You'd have to ask Myersjessee about that project. I'm sworn to secrecy.

Hi Gabe. 1D conversion is next, but that's still about a month away from commencing... A non-Macross related project needs taking care of first

There are no hinges, because they wouldn't have been strong enough, and the complex geometry of the hatch door precludes the use of a simple swing hinge; it'd have to somehow pull out, then upward.

Cockpit from the other side. Very hard to photograph this, as my camera lacks good macro capability, but all the detail that should be there, IS there. Instructions: these are in process, and I'll post them here on MW for people to download.

Cockpit interior...

A few build-up pics...

First post has been updated.

Closer to 17" actually. Somehow I doubt it's a 1/35 Regult. There's absolutely nothing else in that scale from any current Macross kit/toy manufacturers. 1/72 would make more sense.

Hi sithlord. With regards to add-ons to the pod, such as missile packs, or pilots, I would highly recommend building the model static, as the extra weight would simply topple the kit at that point. This can be done quite simply by taking a few minute drops of CA and dabbing it into the ball-socket (slow cure CA recommended) and then placing the Regult in the desired pose. This will handily eliminate any chances of structural failure.

Of course. Though I'm not taking any new orders for the time being, when the next set of molds are done and you place your order, just specify that you'd prefer a pod with no clear parts

Hi Tetsujin. Sorry, I really wasn't sure where I'd gotten that picture from. I really should've at least credited the photo. Unfortunately no, I don't have a Hasegawa battroid for comparison, but if you 're able to take a pic of your pod with a ruler next to it we'd certinly all be grateful

Just fine, thank you The pic above is a regular Regult kit with the included YS ball-joints. Though I wouldn't recommend adding lead weights to the pod or anything, the joints hold it up quite respectably right out of the box.

By comparison...

Hi 007. I don't have the Imai model for comparison, sorry. This one stands at about 25.7cm... The height can vary, depending on how you pose the cannons and the legs though.

Hi Bhop. The model is available to pretty much anyone who wants it; the thread here on MW was just a naturally-simple congregation point for the fans. I will however state that I'm not taking any aditional orders at this time, as I have filled the book for the lifespan of the first set of molds. New molds for the Regult will be produced in June/july, and a heavy-missile conversion set will also be released around that time.

Hi guys. I haven't called-in the remainder of the funds for the model, as I want to build-up a decent stockpile of kits first. Basically, I don't want people to part with their hard-earned money until I can provide the model in a timely fashion. I'll probably be requesting the balance for the models by the end of next week, with the very last kits shipping roughly 5 weeks from now.

Hi guys. Here's a sneek-peek at the box art. Nothing fancy, very simple and to-the-point... Complete with japanese engrish, in the tradition of the old Arii and Imai models

Surprise! A test shot pic of the parts. The left half of the pod housing and a few other parts will be clear on the final models. The black rectangles in the lower right are (surprise!) rubber parts! They're gaskets for the leg joints, designed to hide the ball-joints, while not hampering poseability. This way, the joints of the Regult will look just as they do in the line art!

Hi Grayson. The first castings will probably be done tomorrow, but I'm waiting on my mass-order of YS ball-joints before I can send everything out. 1.5 to 2 weeks before kits start shipping, at most.

For the time being, my plan is to produce the conversion for the TV series 1D, so no mods to the tailfins required; maybe only slightly on the backpack to allow it to lock in place.
