captain america Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Well it's that time of year again. I started getting an itchy sculptin' finger, so I set myself up and began sculpting this... http://www.samurai-monkey.com/boardz/viewt...php?p=5970#5970 Teaser pic below Quote
cokefiend Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Already? Slow it down so I can replenish my funds. Please? Quote
MechTech Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Whew! I'm glad I'm stickin to small scale stuff! I'd HAVE to have bought the whole set!!! Great work! Oh, I just heard my wallet take a deep breath too! - MT Quote
Fly4victory Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 For those that could not afford the first runs of the set, is it possible to backorder the bunch? Quote

PetarB Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Another destroid rolls out of the factory floor... On another note, finally got hold of the Valk booster, it's shipping shortly, Im told. I love Mr Moscato's work, its awesome to see more! Quote
kensei Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 (edited) Cheater! Good stuff, just using the Tomahawk legs. They are all the same anyway. With this, you could also release those funky variants like with a Tomahawk central body with Spartan arms and legs. Just a thought. They were in the Mecha development notes that Nanashino had. I can see you are pretty much finished. Just the barrels of the autocannons to go! Edited March 12, 2007 by kensei Quote

I can see you are pretty much finished. Just the barrels of the autocannons to go! Actually, the thighs are different on all variants, so the only parts that are common to all 3 are from the knees on down. Oddly enough, (torso) parts from all 3 don't really intermix very well: you could adapt the shoulder/weapons vest from a tomahawk to the defener, but the inverse is not true, because the center "body" unit is slimmer in width on the defender. Shoulder/arms/missile pods should be fine for all 3 though. As things are now, molds are almost done; I'm just waiting for a decal confirmation from Devin, and I'll start happily taking your money Quote

captain america Posted March 28, 2007 Author Posted March 28, 2007 Hey everyone! Sorry for having dragged my feet on this one: some other matters required my attention, but have no fear, the Defender has been chugging-along at a healthy pace.

big F Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Oh how cool again John manages to finnish right before my paycheck arrives. . Looks like I`ll have another purple box for my collection. Quote
thegunny Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) I'll have one as usual thanks John. Payment has been sent Every time I open Paypal it automatically asks me if I want to send you money What's next? A Spartan to complete the set Edited March 28, 2007 by thegunny Quote
captain america Posted March 29, 2007 Author Posted March 29, 2007 I'll have one as usual thanks John. Payment has been sent Every time I open Paypal it automatically asks me if I want to send you money What's next? A Spartan to complete the set LoL! Maybe Paypal's trying to tell you something Spartan? Perhaps... OoOoOoOo... I took a few mock-up pics to show as well. I left off some significant bits for now, as they are being prepped and cleaned, but this shouls give you a good overall impression of the model. Quote
PetarB Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 The level of detail is very impressive. Very, very interested to see what the next project might be... Quote
MechTech Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Absolutely shaweet! And molded in color! - MT Quote
big F Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Oh power of wallet getting stronger... not sure if I can keep it shut....... Quote
Kira Yamato Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 you should do a 3 destroid package phalanx/tomahawk/defender i would be interest Quote
captain america Posted April 1, 2007 Author Posted April 1, 2007 you should do a 3 destroid package phalanx/tomahawk/defender i would be interest Most people already have the two previous releases; it wouldn't be worthwhile to remold for a few possible sales. Quote

THOR Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Captain, Thank you once again for flawless execution destroid defender style... -THOR Quote
captain america Posted April 26, 2007 Author Posted April 26, 2007 Hi guys. I'm Glad that the model is being well-received. I took a few pics of an unpainted model, just to show its basic structure. For the 'finished' look, kindly refer to HWR MKII's buildup--the FASTEST build in the west! Quote
Ghadrack Posted April 26, 2007 Posted April 26, 2007 Aye Captain! Thanks again for another cool offer. I assembled my first one yesterday here at the office, it is prepped for paint sitting at the feet of my MSLZZ 1/72 monster. Another excellent sculpt and cast, i have to say I really appreciate the way you set up your molds so the flashing/pour spout is always hidden once the parts are assembled, it makes clean up a breeze Quote
big F Posted April 26, 2007 Posted April 26, 2007 For the 'finished' look, kindly refer to HWR MKII's buildup--the FASTEST build in the west! It`s one of those mysteries like, how did they build the Pyramids, how does HWR build em so fast ? My moneys on some sort of time travel al la "Heroes" Look I got this model from the Capt 1 hour ago.... It`s painted and finished already...... That includes a day`s worth of painting and drying......... Hmmmmmm Time Travel I tell you.... Quote
captain america Posted April 26, 2007 Author Posted April 26, 2007 Oh, and the instructions are done too! I've included some lower-res scans, but if anyone can host higher res versions, just PM me. Quote
HWR MKII Posted April 26, 2007 Posted April 26, 2007 Hi guys. I'm Glad that the model is being well-received. I took a few pics of an unpainted model, just to show its basic structure. For the 'finished' look, kindly refer to HWR MKII's buildup--the FASTEST build in the west! It will be 100% finished tonight. Took a day from model building yesterday. Actually just passed out at 6 pm and woke up at 11. Quote
