    However long it takes to get 3 more confirmed orders. At that point I'll start to take payments and begin the molds.

    Hi everyone! Might anyone know of a source to get custom waterslide delals printed? I need to be able to print white (as well as other colors) for a small run. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Do NOT watch this if you don't want to be spoiled.

    Major props to Sentinel for providing some fantastic box-art that literally looks like it came straight out of 1983!

    An efficient business can't operate on the often unrealistic standard of perfection many fans have for their beloved anime: there are time and financial constraints to contend with. Large distributors can (depending on contractual obligations) impose financial penalties when manufacturers don't respect shipping deadlines because they then have to deal with cancellations from retailers. They have to find that middle ground where the product is good enough to go to market so as not to result in significant returns but not be so terribly anal on QC that they cost themselves by missing their delivery window. To the end consumer it's fun and games, but the business side of it can be very ulcer-inducing. Packaging, manufacturing, licensor approval, shipping are all replete with their respective pitfalls, and Murphy lurks ominously over all.

    Make no mistake, the toy will still have flaws -all products do, but hopefully the delay will result in lesser or more easily overlooked flaws. If they delayed it, more than likely the first examples were so bad that they dared not ship knowing that they would face massive returns. This particular design makes for an extremely complex toy, so better to give them some leeway to work the bugs out.

    Six!

    ...So what you're saying is we need a PG Sazabi? I'm totally with you on that!

    Exo has expressed his desire to tackle the Spartas in 1/48 later last year. You might want to contact him directly to see what his current inclinations are.

    3 so far.

    Worry not, I'm posting early to give people time to save up/get their tax credits/pawn vestigial organs.

    A wee bit taller than the Evolution Toy.

    I'd be curious to see what approach they take before I throw it under the bus. In the interest of disclosure, in my universe, there is no Karate Kid III.

    Fixed that, sorry.

    Hi everyone! I submit, for your consideration, my proposal to re-issue my 1/48 BUSTER resin kit (Mospeada Armo-Soldier doppleganger.) I will be making some minor cosmetic improvements to the neck as well as including decals this time around. There may also be a surprise included, just because. I'm looking for 10 orders to help bring this to fruition. As per with the original issue, the kit will include all three head options. Base price is $300 CAD (about $230 USD) -$338 CAD shipped anywhere in Canada or the US -$358 CAD shipped internationally by Small Packet Air For those asking why they should get this in stead of the Evolution Toy, or any other toy variant, I will let photos speak for themselves.

    Or... The ghost of Miyagi-san comes back and lightsaber duels with Johnny, kicking his a$$ from beyond! Daniel-san, show me lightsaber-on/lightsaber-off!

    I think it's interesting that the SOLO falcon appears to have a double layer of armor, or at least an outer skin.

    The Aventador bumper parts shown above are for the LP-750-4 SV. I aim to modify an existing 1/8 LP-700-4 model to SV specs. The challenge resides not only with the fabrication (or enlargement) of the updated SV bodywork, but I would then have to mate them to the existing 1/8 kit parts, which involves grinding metal. I can definitely do this the old fashioned way, but I had hoped (perhaps mistakenly) that digital modeling would be a more efficient path. Considering the cost of the digital scanning I was quoted and the time/cost of modifying the digital assets, it'll be faster (and cheaper) for me to do everything by hand.

    I require a digital version of the parts. The parts in question have pretty complex geometry, and while I could sculpt these by hand, I'd like to simplify as much of the job as possible. Also, I'd like to be able to simply 3D print the parts needed, because there may be some slight shrinkage during the molding/casting process I'd like to avoid. Bumper (front & rear) + diffuser from a 1/24 Lamborghini that need to be digitized and upscaled to 1/8.
  23. captain america
    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone out there would have a means of scanning and digitizing physical model parts? The pieces in question are simple plastic model kit parts from 2pc dies, no crazy undercuts. I can provide pics of the parts if needed. Thanks in advance!

    Couldn't agree more. That being said I'm going to give this other fellow a chance, just because I think it's bad form to poo-poo on a movie before I actually see it. I would like to say this about the new trailer, though: judging from the immaculate condition of the Falcon's corridors, I must rightfully conclude than Han and Chewie are absolute slobs!

    You can use a Gundam paint marker, or a regular red marker, both will do nicely. The paint in the Gundam marker might stiffen the fabric a bit, which may not be a bad thing. While you're at it, might as well use black from the belt downward to more accurately color the undergarment. great work, guys!
