mslz22 Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Hey Mike, Any updates on the Factory project? I've been swamped with stuff for the upcoming WF in Tokyo, contract work for some guys. I will be busy with that for the next few weeks. After that i will make molds of what i have and start offering the basic sets, and get to the add on's sometime by Sept. I still need to get to the second run of the monster as well.... mike Quote
HWR MKII Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Im gong to have to pull out of this for now Mike. Some unforseen things came up. I expect that his will be available for some time to come though. Quote

Thanks for the update, and good luck with all your projects. Quote
armentage Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I'm very interested. This was my most favorite kit of all from when i was a kid. I used to stare at the catalog pictures.... and dream! Quote
mslz22 Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Since it came up in the monster thread, are people still interested in this? People started dropping off the list so i moved onto other projects but if people are still interested i will try to move forward with this after Xmas....likely the first chance i will have.... mike Quote
Major Tom Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Hey Mike, I'm still down for one, please put me on the list Quote

neptunesurvey Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Yes, I'm still interested in one kit. Quote
azrhino Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Sorry to be late to the party, but I am still interested in the project. Quote
mslz22 Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 Hey everyone, i just pulled all the parts out yesterday and i really want to finish this up in the next couple of months, the pattern is just about done but i need to fit the molding and casting into my schedule somehow. I have lots of neat ideas for additional details that will become available if i can get around to it. I am sorry for the delay, i have been just non-stop for about 2 years now and it's amazing how fast time goes when you are busy like that. I really am looking towards getting back to some Macross realated projects when i can, unique stuff, in big scales if people are looking to that..... mike Quote
Kicker773 Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 i wonder how these would look with the 1/60 valks.. Quote
mslz22 Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 i wonder how these would look with the 1/60 valks.. This was designed to be multiscale, and multigenre (ie gundam etc), as well as easy to put together for folks who are not usually modelbuilders....i think it would look really good with the 1/60's, in fact i want to display my 1/60's with it when i finish...

big F Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 Im glad this thread is back alive again. Quote
mslz22 Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 Started pouring a couple of molds yesterday, all the parts for the very basic set is ready for molds but it will still be a couple of weeks before all the molds will be ready i need to fit them in with some other stuff i am catching up on. I think i will be selling these as a set price for each panel, as well as couple of different detail sets, it will be easier for you guys to customize what panels you want. They will be easy to order, for example there will be floor panel 1 coded F1 for your order, sidepanel 1 or 2 coded S1 or S2 and so on... Once i get a better idea of how much material goes into each part i will come up with a per panel price and a per detail set price... thanks mike Quote
mslz22 Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Test cast of the gantry went well today, i will post some pics tomorrow....Floor mold is done, backwall mold is done, some additional detail part molds are done, poured the sidewall mold this evening, so just a couple of more molds to go and i will have a full set for the basic set. Pics coming soon.... Quote
cool8or Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Pics coming soon.... We'll be waiting for!! Quote
mslz22 Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 First castings of the main gantry parts..... Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) Looking good, Mike. Edited January 12, 2008 by nightmareB4macross Quote
MechTech Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Looks great! Also looks like a big chunk of resin. - MT Quote
mslz22 Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 First casting of the backwall with door, need to add a couple of vents to get it to come up just right but i am happy with it. This is a hunk of resin!! Quote
hirohawa Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Interested as well if I am not too late. Thanks Quote
jorawar_b Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 Mike Would you be able to make one panel the size of a air dock that the launch arm comes out of so we can make a diorama with a valk and maybe for some of us who still have the launch arm, we might be able to incorporate into it, maybe mount the arm on one of the wall and have to stick out the opening, something more of a detail look . I figure this could be an option for people that might also want to add the VF-1's to the diorama? Quote
