Valkyrie Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Well, the cat's out of the bag over on Starship Modeler! John Lester has bought the masters to John Moscato's 1/72 VF-1 Launch Vehicle and Launch Pylon, and also Gundamhead's DYRL VF-1 Launch Arm! They're all in his casting queue, which is fairly sizable at this point, so no ETA is available for any of them. But it's definitely something to look forward to! http://www.starshipmodeler.net/cgi-bin/php...pic.php?t=53617 Also in the thread is Honneamise's current scratchbuild project, which is very cool, even though it's not Macross!

HWR MKII Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Im glad the LV is getting a second lease on life. Maybe now someone else will build one. As far as i know mine is the only finished one out there. Ken i think the term you were looking for is "reissue". Edited August 1, 2007 by HWR MKII Quote

captain america Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 I wouldn't have sold my babies if I didn't think they were going to a good home, and I'm convinced that this will be the case. Quote
Sdf-1 Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 I wouldn't have sold my babies if I didn't think they were going to a good home, and I'm convinced that this will be the case. Yeah. And I think it's good to have the kits available for a bit longer time this way. Quote
jardann Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 That's definitely a great home for those masters to go. I hope they work out well for SSM. Quote
Duymon Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 MInute they go for pre-order I'm getting them damnit. The new car can wait Quote
cool8or Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 This is a good move. Not all the people can purchase these items in the original release date. In my case, I don't reach to purchase the launch arm, so I'll be waiting anxiously for it. Quote
jardann Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Didn't see anything in that thread about Gundamhead's launch arm, but I know some people will be excited if it gets reissued too. Just out of curiosity, does adding the embedded metal parts (brass tube, steel bar etc.) make the casting process much more difficult? Quote
cobywan Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Jsut be ready to wait a looooooong time. They have so many items in production and thier resources for castings are tight. Quote

JoLe727 Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 I don't mean to hijack this thread, but in case anyone want to get launch booster, rail and vehicle, I have these for sale. All are originally produced by captain america. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 haha! 'hurry now and get the last original Moscato items' !! Quote
Valkyrie Posted September 28, 2007 Author Posted September 28, 2007 Starship Modeler will be getting their first batch of 15 Launch Rails in the next few days Quote
