google is your friend... the 'good shepherd' is the USN destroyer Keeling, Cmdr. George Krause in command, and senior ship of the naval escort of an eastbound convoy to England during WW2,

The Black Fewture Getter - if you're able to find it - is DEFINITELY worth getting. Check out the review here: http://www.plamowarrior.com/id45.html http://www.plamowarrior.com/id44.html I have one (got it when it first went on sale, so didn't pay an extreme price for it), and couldn't be happier with it...

The Aoshima figures are excellent - I have alot of them, and the only one I got rid of was Mazinkaiser, because I wanted to get the Max Factory Mazinkaiser. They are heavy, feel solid - the only drawback really is the limited articulation/poseability...

Yes, laser printers will produce non-opaque decals - Alps printers get around this by printing a layer of white, then the color on top of the white. Also, laser printers will not be able to print white decals.

It's the project that never ends http://mechaskunk.com/ag.htm

You mean for having SLA parts made? Let me get the images together... Those parts are from the AG project (yes, it's still going - just very slowly) - the second pic shows the pieces mounted on a 1/48 Valkyrie leg. I had 6 parts total made - one of each of the inner pieces, as shown in the first pic, and two of each of the outer pieces shown in the first pic - and I believe I paid around $450 for all those parts - and I believe it was through that DPT link I posted before, with minimal finishing done to the parts...

Yeah - the Roland Modela is on my short wish list - once I get things settled with the house and the car, then wamo! She will be mine!

I don't have an SLA machine at home, but I've created 3-D model files, and sent them to a shop that does SLA work for projects I've been working on at home. Let me find the link... https://www.dpt-fast.com/ I believe that's them - they did a rather good job on the parts I sent them - quick turnaround, and relatively cheap too. You can specify different finish levels, so you can get your parts quicker, and all you need to do is sand the surface to make it smooth...

I've used SLA and SLS at work and at home - SLA is the more accurate medium, but a little more expensive than SLS. I like it - saves me a ton of time trying to get basic shapes from scratch, versus having a computer model that is fairly accurate being transformed to 3-D. The only thing you need to keep in mind - the computer models you need to send them will be 3-D solids - like IGS or STL files. So make sure you're 3-D program can output those files...

Actually, you can just get info from the source: http://www.hkashita.com/mod_index.php

This project hasn't been abandoned - it's just gathering dust With my store doing pretty well, I haven't had any time to work on my other projects, including this one, which is kinda annoying...

I guess I don't need to worry about putting your decals up on my site anymore This sucks, and I'm sorry I wasn't more responsive to the whole situation - was busy with my own marriage too (congrats! ). I wonder if Samuel Decal would be interested in producing your decals? I believe they also use an ALPS printer, but they've made no mention on their website about having to shut down (though, that's not stopping me from placing an order through them very soon). http://www.samueldecal.com/ Not to hijack your thread either - but if anyone is interested in ordering decals from Samuel, message me - I am getting an order together, that I'd like to place by the beginning of December - so if anyones interested, let me know!

Now with limited edition super special Exploding Action! Take it out of the box, it explodes! Display it with your other valks - it explodes! Do absolutely anything with it, and it will explode!

http://mechaskunk.com/balljoints.htm The Yellow Sub ball joints are MUCH stronger than the wave or kotobukiya ones...

To be fair - I didn't use a stock ball joint - I engineered my own. The socket is custom cast into the upper thigh, and the aluminum ball is secured to the swing arm - and I have yet to hear of one of my custom ball joints getting loose over time...

http://mechaskunk.com/images/hips/ I did the same mods about, oh, 6 years ago, and made about 50 valks with the modified hips/knees/feet... One guy bought 30 of them I believe...

Sigh, enough boys.

Wow, that orange one is awesome!

I've considered making a large bell replacement - but it may not happen for a little while. The shear number I'd have to have made, to make the price reasonable, would put a good sized hole in my pocket. But, we'll see how it goes...

Always gotta be a wet blanket, dontcha...
