    I think it's safe to say the RE Gun EZ is better than anything fans could have hoped for. Looks like Bandai won't be wiping-out Victory Gundam just yet.

    Tremble in fear, mortals!!! https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/45838-112-moscato-mospeada-assessories-set/

    Stick/Ley both use the VR-052. Same visor. 41H has a blue-green visor, 38L has a lighter, blue-gray visor. I will likely offer a modified version of the accessories without visor when the BLOW SUPERIOR and BARTLEY come out... Unless Sentinel f*cks those visors up too, in which case it'll be Captain America to the rescue! lol

    For what it's worth, I highly recommend doing group buys fore those located overseas as a means to offset the ridiculous shipping fees. That's the downside of doing small, lightweight, fiddly detail sets and having a postal carrier with minimum size/weight restrictions.

    All the Ride Armor visors had a different shape and color for each model type. Also, orders are up on Facebook. Will post a FOR SALE ad here a little later. In the meantime, shipping rates are available now.

    If I do it in color, it won't have the glow-in-the-dark effect. I chose this procedure specifically for its effect. Also, why would you want a dash that just looks like a regular ol' sticker? Haven't done photo-etch in years and don't know anyone who offers the service at a reasonable cost for small jobs. I may look into it for future projects.

    In so much as Masterpiece Dinobot seems to be an overall success, who's excited for Masterpiece Barney?

    Wasn't Exo working on a 1/48 version?

    Captain's log: Tuesday, quitting time. Basic molds are done, duplicate molds are in the pipeline and the castings are awesome! The visor is looking really sweet, too, and if I'm lucky, I can game the mixture just a little so that the part remains slightly flexible and less prone to breakage. I'll be casting these already tinted, so as to save those with lesser modeling skills the chore of painting them. As for the tint, this test-shot is a bit too blue, so I'll adjust the color to a blue-gray as seen in the anime. The RPG will come with a clear lens for the targeting system, but I'll also be giving you all a little extra glow-in-the-dark sheet, which you can trim and place beneath the lens on the RPG to simulate a night-vision system. Simple, but effective! Also, I'm finishing up the markings before I send them to print. You have markings/serial/instructions for the RPG, markings for the saddle-packs as well as for the Gallant weapons. Will post a For Sale thread tomorrow w/shipping prices... I'm pumped!

    Just a quick reminder, I'll start accepting pre-orders for the 1/12 Mospeada accessories on Wednesday. Better pics coming soon.

    I've updated the first post with a FAQ. Recommended read.

    Clear resin.
  16. captain america
    I'm not sure why I'd bother casting a visor, tediously filling-in the scribed lines and re-molding it in opaque resin. Sort of defeats the purpose, wouldn't you say? If you don't mind paying for the extra individual parts, it's no problem.

    Captain's log: Friday, August 17th. Quick-and-dirty update on the accessories set: molding has begun in earnest, and the modified visor looks to be a success! However chaotic my molding process looks, it works, and works well.

    For what it's worth, I just don't think the demand is there. When a project proposal stretches-on for too long in the hope of scrounging-up extra customers, you start to lose your initial customers as they wander-off, captivated by some newer, shinier bobble elsewhere. I have the skill, I have the desire, but the demand is soft and frankly, there are other, more interesting projects to tackle.
  19. captain america
    Just from looking at pics, I think you'd be better off painting with regular colors, and then mix some pearl powder in with your flat basecoat. It will reproduce the subtle effect in the photos more convincingly than going with straight metallics.
  20. captain america
    I like Dinobot because funny.
  21. captain america
    That's definitely an interesting project, and I'd be happy to take a stab at it if demand is there. I also had the idea of making a 1/12 Legioss cockpit that would go with the existing Sentinel figures. One idea among many.
  22. captain america
    No plans for it. Besides, it would cost the same to ship one visor as 4 whole accessory sets, so really not worth it.
  23. captain america
    Yes, and that's a significant part of the price increase. The visors are actually scribed on the underside, so I had to make special tools to fill and sand the very tight compound curve, which is a major tedious PITA, but it's coming along.
  24. captain america
    Just by-the-by, I'm toying with the idea of having the dash panel as a glow-in-the-dark piece, which would add just a little extra coolness to the update set. Must. Succeed!
  25. captain america
    Yes indeed. I'll actually put that thread in the FOR SALE section and link to it from this thread to help people find it.
