    I LOVE IT!!! Seriously, it came out looking fantastic! I can't wait what you do with the other Crabbies. Just a heads-up guys: you should totally put a watermark in your pics, so that you at least get credit for it and people don't try to pass your work off as their own. Sometimes I also share pics on social media and give these fine builders the lime-light because frankly, without you, it would just be a pile of pink resin parts.

    Problem is, they're already fairly advanced in the development for Prime and Hound that I'd be shocked if they attempted to alter/improve the figures from this point forward. This is not to say that the figures are horrible, but Taka/Tomy are really going to have to raise their game, given the fierce competition out there.

    Are you talking about Cernovich? Accused and tried by whom? You know that he used to practice law, right? Racist? His wife is Iranian Misogynist? See above. Also, he has a daughter. Perhaps a scant 5-10 minutes of research before posting such absurdities? Gunn may end up being one of the more fortunate ones. I know of at least one other director who will be in hot water over grotesque sexual conduct of the child kind, and it won't be over inappropriate tweets.

    Of all the toys, I hate to say it, but Evolution did it best in terms of overall proportions. Sentinel will likely blow them out-of-the-water in terms of quality, if their MOSPEADAS are any indication.

    The saving grace that Takara's Hound would have over the Fans Toys version is that the prices may actually end up being comparable, seeing as how the latter is going for a pretty penny these days. Also, Takara's hound has a slightly better face. Other than that, they're very close.

    Other happy news: if you look closely at Yellow's visor, it doesn't have the raised lines on it which seemed to annoy so many people with the MOSPEADA version.

    The BLOW SUPERIOR will be compatible for sure. I suspect that the BARTLEY will be also, based purely on the common parts that will be carried-over.

    All on desktop, sir.

    Pinky Space Crab goodness!! Taking a case of crabs and turning it into art.

    It's definitely better than we were expecting, I'll give them that. Looks like the voice module is located in the lower backpack region, too. I still think TransformElement did it way better. Just look at how junky Takara Prime's lower legs are in comparison.

    It reminds me of the Wave kit with its gorilla-like proportions.

    *Dons his asbestos underpants* I may get flamed for this, but I think TransformElement pulled-off a better Prime between the two, at least at the prototype stage . Very happy to see Hound, though!

    Well FUKE-me: they actually made the Bartley and the BLOW SUPERIOR! I think many of us will be very happy indeed. Sentinel Legios: *shakes head in disbelief* Had I known, I could have just sent them a resin kit to copy... Save them some embarrassment.

    Tried all three themes, but no success. And I'm using Chrome, too! Will try with Brave later and report. *Edit* Brave works like a charm.

    Getting closer. The Gallant is almost done, just tweaking a few details here and there. Next will be the saddle-packs, then the RPG launcher... Or maybe the other way around. I'm finally getting back into my groove. The rifle mode, while being a clusterf*ck of ergonomics hell, has at least one interesting (and slightly redeeming) feature in that it can be used one-handed with decent stability. A plus if it ever needs to be fired while riding. I was also able to find some black ribbon that is the perfect size for the strap, which I will be including in the set. Therefore, shoulder-slung will be another posing option. Stay tuned!

    Not ATM. Demand is too soft for a such an expensive, complex undertaking.

    Ever since last weekend's update, I can't seem to navigate to specific pages of a given thread. Even if I select, say, page 3 of 4, nothing happens. I also had trouble posting in a thread earlier today: as soon as I clicked Submit Reply, it said "saving" for almost 30 minutes and I had to refresh manually to see my post.

    Captain's log, July 24th. Things are progressing more slowly than I would like, mostly because I'm still arranging the studio to my liking and trying to find old tools I had stashed away years ago. I'm getting there, step by step. Pic 1: thankfully I kept my trusty ol' Ryobi drill press, which ironically is never used for drilling. I set the pulleys to high-speed and mounted a grinding stone and use it almost exclusively as an end-mill to create parallell surfaces on pieces of oddly-shaped modeling board. Pic 2: next, I carefully cut-out my blueprints and mount them to the modeling board before taking the trusty bandsaw to them. I remove as much excess material as possible with the saw, then I can get much finer work done with the Dremel or just hand-sanding. Pic 3: for straight, flat cuts & surfaces, I'll resort to the mill. This new machine has a brushless motor with variable speed control, so I can get finer cuts without chipping like with my old equipment. Pic 4: I can also use my diaond-tipped grinding bits at high-speed to simulate a milling bit. In this case, creating an indent in the rifle stock. Pic 5: this odd arrangement of pillars will be molded in order to create castings of various-sized resin bar-stock which I can then turn on the lathe... Mostly because it's much faster and cheaper than using metal. My immediate use will be for creating the RPG launcher, lenses and various gun barrels. Pic 6: the basic Gallant components. I opted to use a styrene/modeling board sandwich to create extra depth and detail on an otherwise small and intricate part. I'll also be testing the fit with my Rey figure's hand to ensure an adequate fit. More to come next week!

    Such beauty!! For a while back when I had sculpted the Eager, I was worried that maybe I didn't do the proportions justice, but over time I came to understand that it was pretty much all in my head, as Emiliano's pics clearly demonstrate. Sir, you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention!

    While I'm sad that this may negatively inpact Guardians 3, ultimately, the truth of the matter is that Gunn got himself fired. Studios spend ludicrous amounts of money to make these movies and I trust that Disney has already seen what bad publicity (fan backlash) can do to even THE biggest film franchise (Star Wars) and likely jumped into damage-control mode at the first hint of a media sh*tstorm. I don't blame them, hundreds of millions of dollars are on the line.

    You had me at Godzilla.

    I'd be reticent to add a third Gallant, just because it adds to the price (planned $65 CAD), and that for an option that probably few people will want. Right now the set will (tentatively) include: -Gallant pistol -Gallant rifle w/sling -RPG launcher w/clear targeting lenses -Saddle-packs (side, 2pcs) -Saddle-pack (rear, can be built open or closed) -Water cantine and misc. supplies -dash panel and weapons markings decal
