captain america Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) Hi all. The 172 Zentradi soldiers are now complete.

In your email, please use the title "1/72 Zentradi." You will need to leave me your full name and address, as well as your MW screen name. Edited February 28, 2006 by captain america Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Hi guys.As promised, I have begun work on my next modelling project, a 1/72 scale Zentradi soldier. I'm planning to make this as a set of two figures: one standing, and one modeled in the seated position to fit inside the 1/72 Regult model. Each figure will be comprised of about 15-18 pcs each for ease of painting, and both will have clear face-masks. Estimated set price: $80.00. Anyone who's interested, please feel free to chime-in; I'm compiling a list of orders. I'll try to have another update by Friday 359317[/snapback] Are these going to modeled in static position? Or will this kit be able to use ball joints for articulation? Will a weapon be provided for the standing soldier? ***Just thinking diorama, that's all. Quote

I'll most likely include a weapon for the standing pilot, seems only right. Quote
Ranger565 Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Hey, Cap I am good for 1 Order Thank you Ranger565 Quote
jorawar_b Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 i want one set, any discounts on two sets? Quote
captain america Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 In so much as the figures are not physically large, it may be possible to ship 2 sets for the price of 1. Quote
jardann Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Yeaaa! More 1/72 scale bad guys! Why won't any large company produce these enemies? Well, the captain will give us better care and quality so I'm in for one of these for sure! Quote
captain america Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 January 12th update. The figure is coming along extremely well thus far. Though the figures will be pre-posed, I'm breaking down the parts in such a way as to make them "modification-friendly" to anyone who would want to change the pose from the standard ponderation and seated configurations.

captain america Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 Just as a comparison, here's a pic of the old Imai 1/100 figure of Kamjin. Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 John... what are you using as your sculpture medium? Very well done. Quote
captain america Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 John... what are you using as your sculpture medium? Very well done. 359830[/snapback] Hi LTSO. I'm using hard Sculpey, Renshape and Polyester putty, as well as wax for some finer details. Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I'm attempting my first sculpt. I'm using Sculpey and Aves Apoxie Sculpt. The latter I like very much. I've only worked with renshape once, but it is very very good stuff... EXPENSIVE too, correct? Quote
azrhino Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) Dammit John! I was actually thinking about giving this one a miss, and you have to include a picture of the figure next to the booster. It really gives a great perspective of the size. ***sigh*** Sign me up for one. BTW, looking great! Edited January 13, 2006 by azrhino Quote
Grayson72 Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Can you work any faster? Geez this is taking forever!!! Just kidding, looks awesome. Quote
captain america Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 Wow, things are really slow. I was expecting to have triple the current amount of orders by now. Quote
jorawar_b Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Well capt. If you cannot get enough orders, I might want to get two kits, but only if you don't have enough orders Quote
Re-issue Liu Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 A Great work!! I will get one, please!!! Quote
Viceland Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Wow, things are really slow. I was expecting to have triple the current amount of orders by now. 360002[/snapback] I dunno, maybe things are slow due to some people catching the post holiday season's depleted wallet syndrome. Quote
mechaninac Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I'd be interested only if the standing figure were made available on its own for a reasonable price... I don't have the Regult so a seated figure would be a waste. Quote
captain america Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 I had contemplated selling the figures separately as well. The logic being that people who might want to produce dioramas may want more of the standing figures, and so purchasing a set would be wasteful. Done. The figures are also available separately at $40 each. Quote
captain america Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 I'll take one. 360230[/snapback] one figure (and if so which version) or one set? Quote
azrhino Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Hi John, Please modify my order to one set plus one single standing figure. BTW, how tall are the standing figures? Quote
captain america Posted January 14, 2006 Author Posted January 14, 2006 Hi Az. The soldier stands at 13cm exactly. Quote
Sdf-1 Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Can I have two standing figures? If there will be enough for others. I'd like to make the other one a different pose. How does this kind of order-thing actually work? I mean I've never done this before. My first post on this great forum Quote
Ghadrack Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Put me down for a set one standing, one seated for one of my pods Quote

How does this kind of order-thing actually work? I mean I've never done this before. My first post on this great forum 360363[/snapback] Hi Sdf-1. It's actually quite simple: by adding your name to the preorder list, you are effectively saying that you'd like to purchase a figure or set at the cost quoted in the first post (shipping is extra, depending on location). For the time being, there is nothing to pay, and I will continue to post update pics as the project advances. When the masters are done, I will post pictures of them from as many angles as possible: this will essentially show any potential client exactly what the kit/parts look like. From there, I will post instructions for contacting me and making payment. I also post in here if there are any delays in shipping, just so that everyone knows exactly what's going on. Usual routine.

cool8or Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Awesome Cap!! Put me in the list for one kit, please. I have a Question: wich Pod do you will use for the seated soldier? I have the Imai 1/72 Tactical Pod Regult (unbuild), but it have only the back door... may be do you will use a Officer Pod Glaug? Do you will customise the cockpit? Regards Quote
