captain america Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Your distributor was probably just trying to unload the rest of the bad batch and maybe hoping you wouldn't notice. Either that or they're just incompetent. Even when the smooth-on stuff clearly fracks-up, I had to do some extraordinary arm-twisting to get them to admit that their product is/was defective... And also unbelieveably-tempermental. Either way, they *should* replace the defective batch free of charge, because you paid for useable material to begin with... Maybe you could get them to throw-in a sample of something else to compensate you for the aggravation
specr0101 Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Please add me to the list. I want a "Monster" too! Thanks!
mslz22 Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Finally got some good resin in, a little catching up to do now.....
specr0101 Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 mslz22, I was wondering if you plan on cutting some "grooves" near the base of the plastic barrels? The detail might add a bit realism to an otherwise plain section of piping. Just a thought. some pics with the other 1/72 379037[/snapback]
Less than Super Ostrich Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I wouldn't recommend adding detail just for the sake of detail... especially if it is not in the lineart. Leave that up to the person who buys the model.
specr0101 Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Well, I saw the grooves(ribbing) on the Yellow Submarine Monster and they look pretty good.

specr0101 Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Also the rear bracing for the recoil would also be pretty cool...
mslz22 Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Quick check in, the week without resin put me behind on multiple projects including this one, but i have caught up on a bunch of stuff that needs to go out tomorrow (monday) which means that i will be back on the monster tuesday......more to follow... mike
Gundamhead Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 They aren't grooves. They are bands, and easy enough to add later.

Robert S Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) I am I am! I was just curious and tired so I forgot my maners. What I should have said was "Any updates on how things are going please? I am just curious how the first ones turned out now that you have good resin." Edited April 11, 2006 by Robert S
jadefalconguard Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Maybe Mike saves up for Easter so he can play the Easter Bunny and give us the first batch This must be the most anticipated kit I guess
mslz22 Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Hi everyone....sorry for the lack of posts i have been busy busy busy....part of it was Jesse's fault Anyway, couple of things that ate up some time, doing the books for the year and getting it to the taxman took a few days of my time, a root canal ...and i have outgrown my small shop and have been moving in to a bigger new one, i expected to get a couple of monsters out before this happened but that did not go the way i wanted it to, the good news is that this move will vastly improve my efficiency, so in the long run it will be much better for this and future projects. Just one example of how much better this will be, currently i have 1 bench for building/assembly that is about 7 feet long, i use this sometimes for a mold making bench, i have another bench that is about 7 feet long for mold prep/resin pouring. The new shop will have 16 feet of bench space for mold making and resin pouring, an i will keep a 7 foot bench dedicated to just building...that is just the start.... anyway i am sorry for the delay, i know people are excited, and believe me i want one painted up for myself too
specr0101 Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I'm sure many of us are patiently waiting. Take your time.
RT junkie Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 For me, the anticipation is half the fun . After I have my monster, what will I have left to look forward to ? Maybe building a small hangar to house it!
Gundamhead Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Other way dude, a small house to hangar it. For me, the anticipation is half the fun . After I have my monster, what will I have left to look forward to ? Maybe building a small hangar to house it! 390691[/snapback]
Sdf-1 Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Damit Hwr, I almost thought it's the d-day, h-hour now. I have my finger on the Paypal button...
HWR MKII Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 I WISH! I just hope im one of the first that mike contacts.
jadefalconguard Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 I think we should punish such a dastardly deed HWR. I suggest you wait for the last unit that gets out Nah, but I hoped it was Mike with the good news......just a few more days *turns and starts drooling on the printed out Monster pics*
specr0101 Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Maybe he should get one of the last ones...That way he will be challenged
Sdf-1 Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 There wont be much challenge. 391971[/snapback] Mental challenge perhaps? Btw, you did it again. Guys don't post here unless it is here.
HWR MKII Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Just for that i plan on posting once a day to keep getting your hopes up.
Gundamhead Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 I got mine today! Why haven't you guys gotten yours yet? I kid, I kid, see that's how you be cruel.
HWR MKII Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Gundamhead you shuld have PMed me first we could have had SO MUCH fun with that.
Gundamhead Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Gundamhead you shuld have PMed me first we could have had SO MUCH fun with that. 392156[/snapback] Oh that coulda been so mean. they'd throw X-actos at us for that though I think.
HWR MKII Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Seriously though. How are the final preps going on this kit mike? Be messed up if this and the 1/24 scale SV 51 were ready for me at the same time.
