Robert S Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 I would be in if it could be in the 350 to 500 range. This is one of my favorate mechas and it would be really cool to have it in a scale with a lot of other things. Robert Quote
mslz22 Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 My goal would be to get it around $275.00 + shipping, for that i think i would need 25 people, again no prepay, just a nod that 25 people would want a kit. for that price i would need to get it down to about 6lbs of resin, which may be possible. V thanks for the offer, once i get a better idea if this will really go ahead i may take you up. If anyone has good scans of the line art from the perfect memory book that would really help too, there are a couple of small drawings in there that are close to blueprints as you will get thanks mike Quote

mslz22 Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 Yep those were the ones i was looking for.... thanks mike Quote
Berttt Posted March 6, 2005 Author Posted March 6, 2005 Put me down for one. Sheesh what has this thread turned into? A man asks a question and ends up finding a new way to spend money. Berttt Quote
Robert S Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 LOL So true. So true Any idea how you are going to make the main barrels. I am assuming not out of resin? Quote
Ranger565 Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 Ok add me, You know I am good for it Mike Ranger565 Quote
ChristopherB Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 Hi Mike, Go for it! If the price is right, I'll buy one to keep and one to have built for me. 1/72 is the only scale for me, and I would love to have a Monster to display. Christopher Quote
mslz22 Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 I would likely use brass or some sort of abs tube for the cannons, i would have a detail insert for the end of the barrel to add detail....i think so far we are up to 11 people so far in the thread.......... Quote

I'm in for sure. Go ahead and build it. Ask anyone here, the interest is there. You will move them. Quote
HWR MKII Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 im in im in talk about a subject that sells itself. with its popularity im suprised that there arent as many monster related models as valks. an arm set to make a mark 1 option for the arii 1/160 scale wouldnt be a bad add on kit either. not begging for you to make it but someone out there must have the availability of time to. i have other pressing projects.

AlphaHX Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 Shouldnt we make a new thread about the resin 1/72 Monster just to get it some more attention? Quote
mslz22 Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 Shouldnt we make a new thread about the resin 1/72 Monster just to get it some more attention? If you think it will get the # up to 25 that would be cool.... thanks mike Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 are you guys going to canibalize Valkyrie's Konig if you move ahead with this project? Quote
Myersjessee Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 I wouldn't think so...they are fairly different...both in scale and detail. Plus...who amongst us can so "no" to yet another kit we need! Quote
mslz22 Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 It would be a total scratchbuild, like Jesse said the Konig is a different scale, and to use any parts from the existing 1/72 kit is not really wise, it is pretty inaccurate and, again, the weight is borderline silly......I've daydreamed up a plan on how to go about the building and casting, if we get enough people on board i will (once i catch up on some other stuff) set aside a couple of weeks to really get the building going (or at least this would be my ideal situation) it would still be at least a month or so before i could start work...

onezero Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 It's almost certainly gonna bust the bank but ......... count me in. Instead of ABS, why not make the barrels from turned brass/aluminum? I might could get someone to do that - an utter mechanut who works in a machine shop - PM or better yet, eMail me if that idea appeals to you. onezero@aol.com Quote

Another thread has been started for interest in the build, again unless at least 25 people are interested (again no $ for pre orders) i will likely not go ahead. As big of a scratchbuild as this will be it would tight with 25, but since this is one of my favorite mechs I do not mind putting in the time blueprinting and scratchbuilding, it is really the molding and casting that cost....
