New Project

[Ghadrack]

Mine showed up this morning, thanks again for yet another smooth transaction, great work again.

[captain america]

Hi Coby.

If your kits don't arrive by the 10th, PM me.

[captain america]

Oh, by the way, the figures are sold out.

[Sdf-1]

Let's hope the mailman didn't already build Cobywan's Zents.

Bite your toungue!

It just amazes me at the totaly random manner with which the US Post Office has distributed these kits. I am at a total loss in predicting when my kits will show up.

Sent you a PM Cap

I got mine last week, really cool man

[neptunesurvey]

I think my mailman might be building mine. I'll give it a few more days.

[Sdf-1]

I blame "the company".

[HWR MKII]

Weyland Yutani?

[jardann]

I'm in St. Louis. My figures haven't arrived yet either.

[Sdf-1]

I'm in Finland, and they arrived the 1st day of this month. Somebody in the post office is really collecting your kits there... Hope you guys get 'em soon.

[cobywan]

Got mine today. There awesome. I really like the squishy parts.

[Sar]

Yeah, I got mine early last week in the UK. I know it doesn't help you guys still waiting, but... they're awesome! Well done, Cap'n - and thanks!

I really like the squishy parts.

... I'm looking at that part apprehensively, thinking "Man, paint surely will flake right off!" but I'll start on faith and see how it goes... ;-)

(I'm planning a little vignette, when I've finally moved and unpacked all my modelling stuff again, so I may end up just recasting that bit in resin for my purposes, I don't need movement...)

[Sdf-1]

Actually, I've done some paint tests on the rubber torso, and if you give it a good scrubbin' with a toothbrush and some dish soap, you'll be able to paint on it directly, no primer required. Personally, I use Tamiya acrylics, as the softness of the paint allows for a tiny bit of flex, and adheres quite well.

I was wondering myself, before this kit, what to do with those Regult rubber parts. I guess I can paint them too (at least highlight with grey a bit).

But one thing is, I'd want to clear coat things to prevent scratching etc, but that isn't flexible, so those parts must not be sealed then, I guess.

You could try fabric paint. It's basically a paintable rubber/vinyl.

Hmm, I actually happen to have Createx paints, and they are very flexible, just a little drop of bond-all and catalyst additives and that should do the trick, and no fear of scratching off.

I got mine today. I'm very, very happy with them. If you missed out on these then I feel sorry for you cuz they came out great..

This is just too bad...

Hi all.

The 172 Zentradi soldiers are now complete. If you'd like to know more about it, simply click on my screen name at left. When it takes you to my profile, select SEND AN EMAIL in the COMMUNICATE menu.

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.

Can't wait till these are back

[promethuem5]

I....er.... don't think Jon reissues kits... and this kit is over a year and a half old... the molds are probably long gone...

[captain america]

Quite right. If you look back, you'll see that I never directly re-issued any of my models. While certain people have purchased some master-patterns and made their own castings, they likely use a different resin, gates, box art, and the models are not signed by me.

With regards to the soldier, I plan to include a seated version with the eventual release of the Gnerl fighter pod, and probably also a full standing soldier (or partial bust) with the eventual Nousjadeul-Ger. If I do some sort of stand-alone re-issue, it'll likely be a slightly different pose and parts breakdown... If enough people ask for it.

[jorawar_b]

Trust me john all you have to do is show us pictures of your next project, enough people will come, your work is that good.

[Sdf-1]

the eventual Nousjadeul-Ger

Please make it DYRL, just for me ok?

A Moscato 1/72 Gnerl with pilot sounds like victoly to me.

[cobywan]

Just make the helmet addition for Kamjin in his Glaug and do another run.

[Guest sh002]

damn that looks awesome. any pics of it near a battroid?

[Sdf-1]

Ditto. John, I'll take a half a dozen if you promise to reissue (or redo) these kits.

[big F]

If Jon did a Pittie Cola can kit we`d all buy one. What ever he makes You know it will be great. My only regret is missing out on some of the earlier ones and not having money when he needs it.

[codam23]

Put me down for 2. I miss it also. My pod's need some friends
