captain america Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Hi everyone. Just wanted to let everyone know that the 1/72 Phalanx models are now shipping. Payment details can be found on the Samurai Monkey site: http://www.samurai-monkey.com/boardz/viewt...php?p=3285#3285 There are also decals available for the kit Quote
HWR MKII Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Recieved my phalanx today. The kit comes in a purple cardboard box with a lable showing the blue "bridge bunny" chest art. The parts come in Johns typical grey resin packed in 3 seperate ziploc baggies. One bag contains all the body parts, the second contains the missiles and smaller parts while the 3rd bag has the missile arms. Detail as usual is very sharp and clear and parts breakdown is very well thought out. My sample only had airbubbles on one or 2 parts but they are in very easy to fix spots. Pour stub locations are all on mating surfaces and will not be visible once assembled. BE VERY CAERFUL with the feet. Part of the tread on the bottom is literally paper thin to allow the "ankle" piece to fit into it. One of mine was slightly cracked but easily repairable. Overall another 10/10 kit. My sample didnt come with instructions or decals so this will be a good challenge. I will be making mine like the blue version represented on the box art. Quote

Knight26 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Why is it I can never get into those fourms, it always freezes at the login Quote

Maxtype Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Just got mine-excellent kit !Thanks Cap ! Quote
jardann Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Oh yeah!! Just got mine and they are beautiful! Quote
captain america Posted October 17, 2006 Author Posted October 17, 2006 Most probably it'll arrive this week or early next week; it was shipped out on the 11th or 13th IIRC. I still have a few models available if anyone is interested. Quote
Gabe Q Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Got mine today. They look great. The presentation looks very professional. It looks like kit could sit on a retail shelf. I am very impressed with the quality of the kit, too. Quote
Lo-pan Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Are there any instructions for the kit? Hardcopy, online, PDF, or otherwise? Quote
captain america Posted October 21, 2006 Author Posted October 21, 2006 http://www.samurai-monkey.com/boardz/viewtopic.php?t=338 this site should be visited regularly for anyone who's a Macross modelling enthusiast, as it's where I post about all my sculpting, front and center. I will be discontinuing the Phalanx on Oct 31st by the way. Quote
captain america Posted October 26, 2006 Author Posted October 26, 2006 Update. No longer taking orders for the Phalanx: production is closed. THanks again to everyone for their interest and patience Quote
HWR MKII Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Anytime. Always go where the quality is. Quote
big F Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Well I got mine, the last one John made I think. Up to Johns usual standards great kit a couple of small air bubles but they wont be a problem one of them wont be visible anyhow. Id like to say a big Wasup to the morons at the post office who though it would be great to put mine in a puddle and wash off the address lable John so expertly placed on the carton. They managed to get the inner purple carton wet and made the artwork run. Didnt dammage the kit or decals though. Took em an extra week though to realise the address was printed twice on the carton, like i said morons. The sad thing is my Friend Ian is my Postie and he said they knew the post code but never asked him. He knew it was comming as I`d told him to look out for it. Oh well at least it s here, and Ian got to kick some ass at the sorting office. Quote
captain america Posted February 17, 2007 Author Posted February 17, 2007 Hey Paul. Sorry to hear that the artwork ran like that. The model was actually one of the FIRST castings; back-up masters, if you prefer, since at the time I didn't know how well/long the original masters would hold up... Always be prepared, the man in the tinfoil hat once said to me. Quote
Dax415 Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Hey Cap, Just wondering if these will be produced again down the road for those of us that missed out. Didn't have enough cash at the time, but i'd like to get two if you ever decided to make more. Looking forward to more Destroids and macross kits! Quote
