captain america Posted May 26, 2007 Author Posted May 26, 2007 Hi everyone. New thread was started on SM for the buildup; pics to be posted tomorrow: http://www.samurai-monkey.com/boardz/viewt...php?p=7249#7249 Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Wow!! looking good!! impressive job, I so envy your talents Quote
captain america Posted May 30, 2007 Author Posted May 30, 2007 I've just posted yet another update on SM. Teaser pic below. Quote
jorawar_b Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Capt, How do you get this stuff done so fast, I am amazed by it. seriously, every kit I have bought from you is in storage because one day I know they will be highly sought after. Your work is very good. Regards Rob Quote
007-vf1 Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I am sold John, count me in for one Just a question to anyone..how much in size differs to the imai/arii kits..?? Quote
captain america Posted May 31, 2007 Author Posted May 31, 2007 My rendition of the Regult conforms more faithfully to both the dimensions and officially-stated height. The Imai Regult was just ridiculously undersized, but I don't have one at the moment, so I can't give you any numerical values. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) *droooooooooooooooooooool....swaps drool away and hit my girl with it.... I get slapped right back* hahahha looking good Captain I was wondering about the size to the IMAI/ARII too, I got one of those cheapo recast job from ebay of the regult, looks more like 1/80 than 1/72... Edited May 31, 2007 by Valkyrie addict Quote
captain america Posted May 31, 2007 Author Posted May 31, 2007 Here's a pic from the buildup of the original 1.0 Regult with a ruler for comparison. It comes out to just under 26cm in height, but the overall height measurement can vary, depending on how the Regult stands or crouches. Quote
MechTech Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Looking great! If only I had the room and budget... - MT Quote
captain america Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 Hey everyone. I'll have a photo update for you all in a couple days; the molds are pretty much done, and I want to be able to show a full & proper set of castings, as well as an image of the decals. Quote
Jasonc Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Did the Regult V1.0 come with decals and/or, did anyone make decals for it? Quote
captain america Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 Did the Regult V1.0 come with decals and/or, did anyone make decals for it? The 1.0 pod didn't come with decals; the best I was able to offer at the time was a same-size image of the markings that could be used as painting templates. Quote
Jasonc Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 cool, thanks for the info. I'm still in for one of the Ver. 2.0 I need to build up ver. 1. Man, so much work, so little time. Quote
captain america Posted June 14, 2007 Author Posted June 14, 2007 Hi everyone, well the castings are done. See for yourself below. Full update here: http://www.samurai-monkey.com/boardz/viewt...php?p=7619#7619 Oh, I also took the liberty of doing a side-by-side comparison of all the main Regult kits to give you a better idea of what to expect.

jorawar_b Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Capt, I guess its one of each for me. So when is the scout version coming out? Quote
cool8or Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Capt, I guess its one of each for me. So when is the scout version coming out? IT MUST BE!!! Quote
jorawar_b Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 I would get 2 of the scout versions if capt did make them. They by far in my opinion are the best looking out of all the Regults Quote
Grayson72 Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Yeah the scout would make such an awesome kit cuz it has lots of greeblies, would look really detailed. Quote
HWR MKII Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Bad news afoot from John neede someone else to post it since he is a little miffed and busy. Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2007 9:12 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- URGENT UPDATE!! I've just had a horrible accident with the molds, and it looks like they are utterly destroyed after only 5 castings. Essentially, I will have to remold practically everything--AGAIN. Right now I'm just utterly devastated, gutted and dejected with myself and it'll take me a few days to get myself back on track, I'm really really sorry about this. Could someone please copy/past this on MW? I'm just too depressed to do it myself right now. _________________ I. AM. THE. KING!... Version 2.0 Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 hmmm...don't be so hard on yourself, this kind of stuff happens, I don't mind waiting, good things are worth the wait beside, extra time to save up Quote
jorawar_b Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Sorry to hear Capt, don't worry we are still behind you. Quote
big F Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Sorry to hear Capt, don't worry we are still behind you. Ditto Quote
captain america Posted June 18, 2007 Author Posted June 18, 2007 Hi everyone. Mess has been cleaned, new molds almost done, and I updated on SM with ordering info for the Heavy Regult. http://www.samurai-monkey.com/boardz/viewtopic.php?t=679 Quote
captain america Posted June 27, 2007 Author Posted June 27, 2007 11 models remaining. Current orders begin shipping tomorrow AM. Quote
captain america Posted July 3, 2007 Author Posted July 3, 2007 Sold out pending confirmation of 1 order. Quote
007-vf1 Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I got mine today..nice little kit; definitively bigger and more detailed than the Imai/Ari ones... thanks John... Quote
Ghadrack Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Pods arrived today, I happened to be home awaiting the UPS guy whent eh mail-lady came. I haven't inspected the kits, but I am confident that everything is as it should be, thanks again for the offer! Quote
captain america Posted July 24, 2007 Author Posted July 24, 2007 Hi everyone. As per what I promised initially, I'm enquiring to see if there might be any more requests for the 1/72 Heavy Regult models. In the event that anyone is interested, please send me a PM. If a second run is warranted, I will post here in the forums. Quote
promethuem5 Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 I got my kit about a month ago when I stopped home on my day off... had time to just crack it open and check out a couple of the parts and I've gotta say, it looks amazing, and I'd probably be in for picking up the variant I did not get if a second run does come around.
