Doctor Paragon Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Holy crap I just saw the list and realized I'm not on it. Please put me down for one of these kits. Thanks. Quote
fulcy Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Alright people, talked to Capt about this, and we are a go - I am going to be making hollow head lasers for the 1D head (once I'm able to get a copy of the head from Capt). PM me if you're interested, and I'll keep a running list here of who wants the hollow head lasers. Figure it's best to release them about the same time as the conversion kit is being released, so customs can be made all at the same time... 330979[/snapback] Can't you get started on them straight away? I mean, I'm not rushing you or anything (or rather I am ) but aren't they conceptually the same as the lasers for the VF-1Js? Approximate size would be the same too I would reckon. It all depends on how captain wants to handle this - since I am going to guess some people won't want the hollow head lasers, so they'll opt for the original solid head laser - and if captain casts all those, they will match the rest of the conversion kit perfectly. In which case, I'd rather modify his original with my head lasers, so that the sculpts are exactly the same. Started a new thread to keep track of the head laser interest http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=16355 Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Coz! How about recreating the episode where Hik saved Misa's butt? Complete with shattered canopy glass! Damn cool idea about having Minmay sculpted for VF hand fondling. ... sooooo, get to work! Misa? Why Misa? Seriously I'm thinking the one in the red dress, like the first 2 episodes and one that's sculpted into a TV valk hand. I'm even considering both Hikaru and Minmay as stand up figures... I already have one of Hikaru in his DYRL blue uniform just walking. 331302[/snapback] Quote

He was in Roy's VF-1S Quote
Knight26 Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Crud I just saw that I am not on the list either, can this be rectified, I would like just 1 set for now? Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 (edited) haha whoops! Long weekend. =_= cheers! Still would be cool to get a Misa one, but Minmay deffinently for 1D. That's a totally different job, nothing related to the VF-1D at all. He was in Roy's VF-1S Edited September 26, 2005 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote

Awesome. Be sure to hit the Gold Coast for a swim, it's heating up now. Hey Capt., what's you latest opinion on the heatshield condition? No other way for it to be non-removable? Quote

No other way for it to be non-removable? 331924[/snapback] Hi Kensei. Thus far, the heat shield is leaning more toward being removeable. It is PROBABLY possible to make it transform with the heatshield in place, though it would require machining some sliding rails for the inside of the chest armor. The big problem with this is that it starts to make the conversion more complicated; particularly for those who are not so mechanically-enclined, and due to the limitations of even the high-impact resin, the parts would be so delicate that they would be prone to breakeage with even gentle handling.

Godzilla Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Misa? Why Misa? Seriously I'm thinking the one in the red dress, like the first 2 episodes and one that's sculpted into a TV valk hand. I'm even considering both Hikaru and Minmay as stand up figures... I already have one of Hikaru in his DYRL blue uniform just walking. 331302[/snapback] Cool!. And don't forget about Max and Millia figures for those of us who are planning on doing Virgin Road 1D customs! 331353[/snapback] Damn straight! Quote
Devaspark Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Hey Capt, can you add 1 kit for me too? Quote

Vermillion One Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I would like three total, non pigmented if possible. Quote
Zeta Otaku Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 should probably add... if you can make mine non-pigmented I'd appreciate it.... my VF-1D is going to be a CF VF-1D.... why kill just one pilot when you can kill two with just as much effort... or lack there-of Quote
Sundown Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Please add me to the list for a pigmented 1D conversion kit as well. Quote
Majestic Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Hey Cap, I'm already on the list, but would like to specify "vanilla" (i.e. no color). Thanks. Quote
4everNewbie Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Likewise, I'm on the list but would like to specify "unpigmented". Quote
