For what it's worth, I have one Graug remaining that I'll post in the FOR SALE section later... Just in case

Especially if they would've tried to do it with sock puppets! Granted, with CGI now, I think that it could be done both faithfully and realistically... I'm thinking back to how they got Yoda to saber-fight in AOTC; the idea would have seemed propostrous to most of us, right up until we saw the little green bugger in action... And then all doubt was erased. Ever so slightly off-topic, has anyone picked-up the Gentle Giants Kraken figure? Been searching for a review of it, but decent (non-official) pictures are all but impossible to find.

I was an avid enthusiast of Greek mythology as a boy, and I can tell you quite sincerely that the Kraken is a creature taken from Norse mythology, not Greek. In the original story of Perseus, I think that Cassiopeia offends Poseidon with her vanity, prompting the latter to unleash a sea beast called Cetus (not a Titan by any stretch), who can only be appeased by a human sacrifice (Andromeda.) The original movie was essentially a mish-mash loosely based around the story of Perseus, with much creative re-writing. I really did like that particular rendition of the Kraken though; probably one of my all-time favourite monsters as a child. In fact, the original Clash of the Titans film departs rather wildly from the original mythology in soooooo many ways, but was still pleasant to watch. This newer rendition looks like it will also not be faithful to the source material, albeit in different ways.

See first post of this thread for info. Kit is now officially sold-out.

Received ok, and shipped! Oh, and the run may be sold out; will confirm shortly...

Yes, I strapped your kit to a postal snail and shooed it on its way last week! 4 left...

Wow, just... Wow!

All current orders processed; 6 kits left.

Much like what we have now. I too thought that the pilot should've been longer, and allowed for a more progressive revelation of the hidden alien agenda; perhaps a 3 hour intro wasn't cost-effective. Either way, it was... Fair. Nothing special, but I'll keep an eye on the show, just in case it does get interesting.

New molds from the existing masters... With a few touch-ups and improvements.

Hi guys. I'll be shipping the first batch of models today. ( 9 kits left.)

"*muttermutter*" is not my next project Actually, probably the Ka-'Tsai (Cat's Eye.)

Hi guys! Sorry for not posting sooner; I've had almost a dozen models already cast since last Friday, I just totally forgot to post in the heat of the action... And Halloween candy. Anyways, those who are ready to send payment may do so at any time, here's the shipping info to add to the kit price ($140) Shipping within North America, up to 2 kits: $17.00 International up to 2 kits: $35.00 Paypal fee: 4% So for 1 kit shipped in N-A, the total comes to $163.28, and for Int'l, it boils-down to $182. I will process orders on a first come, first served basis until the fifteen models are all spoken for. As always, questions are welcome, ad if you require my private payment info, please contact me via PM

Did they operate the F-14D in Zero? I seem to recall them only having the A model.

Hi every one. Just wanted to provide a quick status update: molds are almost done, and decals should be in transit to me as we speak. The first castings will be ready by Wednesday, and I'll probably be able to ship as soon as this coming Friday; will have shipping prices by then. Please stay tuned

I keep looking at this stuff every once in a while, but anything even remotely good enough to produce "no sanding necessary" parts to model-building caliber is still about 15K and up. The technology is almost there, but the cost still has a ways to go, and frankly, hand-made parts might not be micro-milimeter accurate, but they're a helluva lot faster and cheaper... And where static models are concerned, some of the very best stuff I've ever seen was done by hand, and often just plain looks better than something computer-generated...At least to me.

It looks like there's sufficient interest, so I've started prepping the parts for molding. Let's hope the decals also come through.

LoL yes, something like that

Probably not for another 2 weeks, provided that I get enough interest to green light the project

Hi everyone. While I had alluded to the project back in the Graug thread, this is the official "Legult re-issue" thread. Having said that, I intend this to be a limited (12-15 pieces only) re-issue of the 2005 full-cockpit Regult. It will also have reworked packaging to commemorate my 5th anniversary of Macloss model-making However, unlike the original issue of the kit, I will make a few slight improvements: -The resin will be a different color than the customary grey, so as to distinguish it from the original. -The original (unstable) polycal joints will be replaced with the sturdy, fixed-pose 2.0 leg joints as seen on the heavy and scout Regults -Parts breakdown will be improved; simplified in structural areas without sacrificing the super-detail aspects, especially the cockpit -Decals! <--while still not 100% confirmed, I'm working on having a set included; the original didn't have any. -Price is set at $140 plus shipping. So far, I have the following (tentative) interested parties: -hodiod01 -Leon Gor -Kremmen -Ahiachris -Heavy Melder -Jadefalconguard -Neptunesurvey So unless there's an error in the above, that should mean that there are 5-7 slots still available. Want in? Just let me know

Hi guys. I figured I'd enquire here on MW. I'm looking to get some decals done for my next project(and perhaps other projects) on a per-contract basis. I do all my own artwork on Corel Draw 6, and will even do the necessary color separation, so I really just need someone who can do the printing. If anyone out there is capable/interested, just PM me. Thanks in advance

Actually, I like all the others a lot. The only one I'm slightly less keen on is the Lucifer, but I can fix that with a coat of paint; the Twin Tornado thingamabob is really the only design that I think is a serious step backwards.

Well there's that... Plus, it just looks like a$$, making it that much harder for me to suspend my disbelief. I really don't see why they couldn't just paint the regular super-armor pink and call the squadron the Pink Peckers or something; that would've been far more visually acceptable than that, that... Twin-barreled, Gundam reject-inspired monstrosity. I can see why the new pack is light on weaponry, they won't need it: when the Vajra see them, they'll just laugh themselves to death. The Captain's judgement of epic fail stands.

I wouldn't mind taking a stab at some sort of aftermarket update eventually; I think that the fixed flaps/slats on the control surfaces are begging for a correction. As for photo-etch, the last time I did some was 10 years ago and it was very, very pricy (mind you, it was stainless steel.) That having been said, if I can find a supplier with a better price, I'm all for it.

LMAO!!!!
