jipe Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Beautiful work ! So differences wih the WF kit... Don't you want to sell the project to Hasegawa ?! Quote
Valk009 Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Hey, can't let this cool kit slip into the second page of the "Model Secton" So, any updates Andy Quote
Myersjessee Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Update - Jesse is burried! Kids birthdays, mothers day, baby showers (3 of them! ) sick kids, 3 upgrades going on at work, 3 of the last weeks with me on the road (NY, New Orleans, LA) = Jesse is the holdup! Sorry guys. I told Gundamhead I would probably need a month to get to this...and thats probably accurate. I would guess that I should have an update in about 2 or 3 weeks when my life normalizes. I have the supplies...and have laid everything out...just no free time. Quote
baxojayz Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 When will you be in NY? What part of NY? I'm in the city during the work week. If you NEED to know about beer joints, or NY Hooters let me know! Quote
jardann Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Ahhh! My wallet breathes a sigh of relief! I'm really excited about this kit, but I don't mind waiting. Quote

Im in Manhatten (34th or 66th) usually twice a month. Ill be there Monday Wednesday and probably Thursday next week. Might have some time on Thursday or sometime for lunch if people want. Quote
baxojayz Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 34th or 66th. I'm at 77th and Lex, but can get anywhere. 66th. That's walking distance from the Hooters at 56th and Bway.... I can make a lunch break available. Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 aw man, ya guys are making me nostalgic. My first apartment was on 96th and Columbus, then to 11th and Third Ave, then to Grammercy Park (19th and Irving Place). Now I'm in Chicago... in the burbs... minivan, lawnmower, 3 kids, the whole burbs shabang. Quote

godfather Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 We are looking at $65. Thats not bad considering the original was around $100 at WF (and much more outside of it) What drove up the price is Joe went crazy with parts. The original was so spartan it didn't include any panel lines or even the bare pistons clearly shown even in their sales mockup. (they just expected you to scratch build everything) Joes has tiny pistons for each finger, and every other detail...but its over 50 pieces and the base is MASSIVE! Youll see when I take some pics. Frankly, it's a deal at $65...and only around for a while... Hey Jessee, I'm interested but have 1 question: Are you gonna put wires inside the arm resin parts to avoid sagging? Thanks! Quote
Myersjessee Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Yep...all the weight bearing or thin parts will have metal rods embedded in them. Its another thing that raises the cost, but it's necessary for a lot of the kit. Quote

Myersjessee Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Yeah...I always assumed all the Macross fans were in CA...small world..we have some here in the NE! Cool! Quote
Mechleader Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Yes we cover both coasts! Jesse I think you need a vacation! Quote
Myersjessee Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Yes we cover both coasts! Jesse I think you need a vacation! Im going to CA later this summer...and promise to not cast at all while gone...or maybe just a little... Quote

HWR MKII Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 Jese theres a few Macross fans in the UK too. Not just m. Quote
xDiscoStu Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 I'm interested, as well. Chalk up one more if it's possible Quote
Myersjessee Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 News is...Im a wanker...and a loser...sorry...just swamped...bought a pool..kids in camp...big meetings this month at work...all crazy. Ill try and get the molds going next week. Quote
Grayson72 Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Ha! my suspicions have been confirmed! Just kidding, hey we all have lives and more important things than this little hobby of ours so don't beat yourself up over it. News is...Im a wanker...and a loser...sorry...just swamped...bought a pool..kids in camp...big meetings this month at work...all crazy. Ill try and get the molds going next week. 310939[/snapback] Quote
wm cheng Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Yay! Jesse... Totally understandable... life! what a distraction from Macross!! Glad to hear things are still on - rather wait a bit longer to have it done properly than have it rushed through half-assed. I'm so looking forward to this... Take care. Quote

Take care. 311026[/snapback] That is a good point...if people will except 1/2 assed I can start shipping bent coat hanger rods and tupperware lids tomorrow! Seriousley...thanks all for your patience. Gundamhead, especially, did a lot of work on this and I know would love to see it done. I just bit off more then I could chew and got burned. Quote
mars69 Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Hi There! Can you put me down for 1 set please! Quote
Myersjessee Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Hi There! Can you put me down for 1 set please! 311244[/snapback] Gundamhead will start making an order list soon. I want to get the molds done, and then we will start getting them going. I go on vacation the middle of August, so I am thinking Ill try and get the kit ready before I go...then Joe can organize orders and when I get back we will start getting them out. Quote
Myersjessee Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Quick update..molds should be done in a week or so. (I had hoped by this weekend, but I am waiting on supplies that most likely won't be here till mid next week to finish) Gundamhead will be posting more details soon. Quote
wm cheng Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 and i say again...WooHoo! 321496[/snapback] DEFINITELY!! Quote
Mechleader Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting a loooonnnnggg time for this kit!!!!!!!! Quote
RT junkie Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 If you've got any room for another order...... please put me down for one. I promised myself I wouldn't sign up for anything else until I shelled out the dough for that big Monster..... but then again, I am a junkie. Just can't beat the habit, especially when that eye candy is sooooo tempting. Quote
Valk009 Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Ha...might as well join in So, how is the progress doing, summer is nearly over...pool water is getting cold and kids need to go back to school Quote
