ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Gonna be awesome to see a finished product! Hope all goes well Cap, i have always wanted a Gnerl/Fighter Pod (now i even know what to call it in Jap hah!) but a 1/72 scale is just not what i'm after unfortunately. Huge this will be though!

captain america Posted March 19, 2008 Author Posted March 19, 2008 Still alive. Me, I mean I started sculpting some Gnerl components; I'll try to post some pics Friday night. Quote

miriya Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 I have an account at samurai monkey but have not been able to get in. When I log in I just get a blank page. I have tried IE and Firefox and the same symptom occurs. No pics for me Quote

onezero Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I had problems logging in to Samurai Monkey as well - but once I re-registered I was all set. Cap'n - you can count me in for one of these if the preorder list is still open. Quote
captain america Posted April 11, 2008 Author Posted April 11, 2008 I'm not dead yet; I just posted a new update on SM http://www.samurai-monkey.com/boardz/viewt...p?p=12663#12663 A couple of teaser pics for you as well... Quote
cool8or Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Amazing! Now we can be sure about dimensions of Gnerl. Your concepts are perfects. Thank you!! Quote
Gabe Q Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I'm getting pretty anxious to see the final product. Looking great so far. Quote
captain america Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 New update posted on the Monkey! And just to taunt you... A couple sneek-peeks Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 New update posted on the Monkey! And just to taunt you... A couple sneek-peeks Nice build. Will these come with pilots?? Quote

MechTech Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 The dimensions look good to me too. My children and I have been watching Macross and we just saw one of the episodes after the big battle that has one of these nosed into the ground with the pilot (skeleton in armor) holding a MinMei doll. There's a bonus item - MinMei doll in book case . The sculpt looks awesome as always! The pilot is a nice touch too! - MT Quote
cowie165 Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 There's a 1/100 on eBay. It looks like a solid chunk of resin? http://cgi.ebay.com/Macross-Robotech-1-100...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote
PetarB Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 "Angry Monkey Models" = looks like Rob's original production of this subject, from a long time ago. I think this was the only kit of this subject to date? The Captain's version will be phenomenally better, due to size and detailing, as we can already see. Quote
007-vf1 Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) Yes, this one is Robs original creation. Crisp and nicely detailed cast. Unfortunately I don't collect 1/100 scale toys or models so I am departing of it. It is worth far more what I am offering it for but I am hopefull the bidding price will increase. It's virtually not an easy find now a days. I will get captain's though, since I collect 1/72's 1/144 and 1/200. and For large scale ships 1/700 and 1/1700 Macross, Star wars and some aircrafts about wraps my interest and ability to collect and built ...(so I want to believe) Shelf space dictates the scale, so no 1/48's or 1/32 model/toys for me except for 2 or 3 of my grail kits.

captain america Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 Well guys, it's finally done! The pics didn't come out quite as nicely as I would've liked due to lighting issues, but trust me all the rivets are there I didn't photograph a few little details like the control column or the main dash panel, as I didn't want to damage them. Actually, lots of aspects were challenging to photograph like the fins and the missiles which need to be glued properly. I certainly hope this goes down as the best detailed Gnerl kit we'll ever see. Anyhoo, on to the pics: I should commence the final detailing and mold prep on Monday, and I'll also have a shipping quote by then and will give instructions on payment at that time, so prepare your wallets. On my end, I'll be molding & casting my tiny brains out :worried: Quote
