jardann Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 I'll be interested in two probably. Especially now that I know my wallet will have a little time to catch up. Quote
Myersjessee Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 I may order some of the earch magnets...the smallest ones will fit (I think) and they can hold a couple lbs of weight.... Quote
goldenboy_forever Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Wow look great I don't have any hasegawas but I might just want the base its soo cool it gives me a crap load of ideas I can't believe all this came from the wf kits is more like your own kit made from scratch. Maybe you should get it licensed and sell it at the wonderfestival. Its so diffrent from the original. Oh by the way how does the claws support the weight of the model? Are you suppose to drill holes, fit pegs etc? from Rich Quote

Are you suppose to drill holes, fit pegs etc?from Rich The only part left from the original that isn't changed are the 4 flat fingers. I consider it my own kit. I'd much rather be able to go to wonderfestival/Jaf-Con someday. The kit is supported through the little 1/4" square umbilical with a pin through the VF. The claws fingers act more as detail than an actual support. Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Wow look great I don't have any hasegawas but Did he say no Hasegawas . MJ, is that possible? Quote
Berttt Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 I say take as much time as possible in gettng this kit out there. Man my wallet has taken such a pounding lately that a breather would be nice. Berttt Quote
Valk009 Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Possible to use the resin used in casting the "Spider Bugs" as it was far better to work with and gave more detail than the one used for the "Booster kit". Also, any chance just getting the arm and signal unit without the base as I believe it will cost a bomb to ship that, especially overseas I know, I always try and make things complicated , Andy Quote
Ranger565 Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Man I got out of town an you guys break my Bonus check. LOL Hey guys Put me down for 2 Ranger565 Quote

As for resin, it will be the same quality resin and quality silicone used in the Spiderbug and paintable mold releases will be used to minimize effort. THe arms will have embedded metal rods in them for strength. Cheers Jesse Quote
Kylwell Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Aw krep....more resin that I "need' to buy. What is it about resin that makes it soooo addictive. I'd never bought a resin kit in my life (a few weeks short of 40) and now I'm looking at kit #4 in less than 6 months. *sigh* great job (again) on the launch arm. How do you think it'd look with a VE hanging from it? Quote
Grayson72 Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) Jesse puts an addictive chemical in the resin that makes you crave for it nightly Edited April 22, 2005 by Grayson72 Quote

baxojayz Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Okay. I'm interested. One. Who's taking money? Quote
windcloud Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Ya, definitely interest in getting at least 1 Quote
Myersjessee Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Ha! can't believe you got that reference, I love that movie. Definitly one of my favorites! Okay...some updates...finally got around to taking pictures....it was a hellish weekend...sorry. So...here goes...first..some line art...shows the signal arm This is how I want to display mine...hanging on the wall (takes up less shelf space this way! ) another shot with the signal arm and... Quote
Myersjessee Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Here are some shots of the arm. Check out that detail! Quote
Myersjessee Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 the other side of the arm. Check out the detail inside the armature that goes on the end of the arm. The one in my kit had no detail...none on the arm (just a rectangle...no detail! ) and none in the armature! Quote
Myersjessee Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Here are the details that go on the base...just random stuff you glue on for detail (and to hide holes for screws) and the base (with me setting "stuff" on it) Quote
Myersjessee Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Some shots of all the pieces in the signal arm! and the other side Quote
Myersjessee Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 The claw detail! (thats 22 pieces just in that! ) Quote
Myersjessee Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Finally...as a comparison...check out the WF one...the final insult...the pistons pictured on the acuator are not part of the kit..you'd have to make those yourself! and another shot and here is my original - dont she look sad... Quote
azrhino Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Too cool! I cannot wait for you to start casting this...My wallet can, but I can't. Gundamhead, truly a magnificent sculpt. I mean, how did you get the little oblong slots in the square detail piece on the end of the arm? This is going to build up into a stunning diorama. So what's next on the drawing board? Quote
Gundamhead Posted April 27, 2005 Author Posted April 27, 2005 Jesse takes much better pictures that I can. Quote
Grayson72 Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 That's what I'd like to know, how the hell do you do recessed panels that are larger than a razor saw? I can scribe panel lines but seems like you'd have to chisel that out or something. What's the secret? Quote
Kylwell Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Just promise me you'll wait a couple of months so my poor wallet can recover from the PL Enterprise & Wonderfest. Please. I promise I'll buy one. On the flip side if you show up to Wonderfest with one I'll be obliged to buy one from ya. Quote
Mechleader Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I SO WANT THAT!!!!!! Yes I am yelling!!!! Quote
Myersjessee Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 The amazing thing is there are details you can't see in my pictures. Within many of the little raised details are minute details...I swear Joe is hiding a access to a laser or something...they are sharper then a pin...unreal detail on this baby! As for timing...Im probably a month away from starting...so thats 6 weeks to go live. Right now, for people who are interested please tell Joe. If we have enough interest I can keep the price down on the kit by gang molding...but that will only raise the price if there isn't enough interest. We won't be asking for payment for a while though, so everyone has time to save. CHEERS! Quote
