mslz22 Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Do you mean a representation of what the interior of the launch arm bay would look like? 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
jorawar_b Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 no what I mean is that since your making sections at a time, then why not make a base, two solid wall (which you have already made) and one wall that looks like the opening in the pictures where the valk goes out, this way you can make it as an attachment to the factory look, So if the people that have the launch arms, wanted to add the arms to one side they could find a way to make it work. Just a add on, Quote
mslz22 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Quick update, with the exception of 2 or 3 small parts all the molds are done for the first set.. Also, i am finally almost caught up on other casting obligations. I will be shooting to start taking orders for the first sets of this in approx 2 weeks..... thanks mike Quote
miriya Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I am interested in one too if not too late. Is there a price on this yet? Quote
mslz22 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Each component will have an individual price that is determined mostly by the amout of material and or time to cast, that being said it will still come to about $100.00 for a full set with a floor, backwall, detail set, gantry, and side wall. Figure shipping to be about $10-$12 bucks in the US for a full set... It will breakdown by panels A, B, C etc , a detail set, and the gantry set. I think this works well because you will not need to buy duplicates of parts you done need, i.e. if you only wanted 1 gantry set for 2 floor panels etc.... thanks mike I am interested in one too if not too late.

Now I have to think about which parts I will want doubles of! BTW, would a 1/48 in fighter mode fit on a single base with wings spread mostly out? Quote

Straycatt Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 Color me interested Mike... If it is cast half as well as the raptor was, it will be awesome. -Adam Quote

I am actually building my own launch arm and hanger, here is the link, http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=24059 it is showing the build up of the hanger, it might give you some ideas on how to scratch build one your self.

Ranger565 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Mike Just wanted to let you know I am still in for the Grand set of things So once you have the sets ready I will be all over it Quote
jadefalconguard Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I'm still in for at least one set Quote
miriya Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 So what are the final dimensions on this? Particularly interested to know the hight. Quote
misterryno Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 This project is coming around nicely Quote
mslz22 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Hey everyone, i will get some measurements of the kit soon, as i am doing a build up of the one for myself/test build. I poured the last 2 molds today that i needed to get the basic kit going. It will take a couple of days for those to set up in the cold weather, then i will get some castings to build up and show it off. I will likely start a new thread to show the built painted one, along with some ordering info... thanks mike Quote
