captain america Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Hi everyone. I started this thread in order to gauge interest for a potential 1/72 Commanchero model, since I had mentioned the topic previously and was met by some enthusiasm by board members. That having been said, my goal would be to have a model that would have clear vac-formed canopies and detailed cockpits, optional rocket pods and the option to have deployed or retracted landing gear. I was looking at 120-ish bucks as a goal also. All those who are interested, feel free to chime-in Quote
Kylwell Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I'd be happier in 1:48 but I'll take 1/72. Quote

baxojayz Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Ok. At this point I should be good for two. I can confirm if I find some side views. Quote
Gabe Q Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I'm in for one. Is it gonna include a pilot? Quote
PetarB Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Just for anyone who's not sure what this is. Quote
Ranger565 Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 oh John, Yes!! please include 2 pilots. If you could you also please keep the design to the TV uniforms and Helmets? Please!!!! Quote
MechTech Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Alright, I'm gonna have to say "yes." With all that good stuff AND ordnance, how could I say no. I'll keep it at work and tell everyone it's the Apache's replacement People see my Hase boxart Super VF-1S poster at work and think IT'S real... - MT Edited October 7, 2008 by MechTech Quote
Phyrox Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I'm in for one. I've been wanting one of these for a looong time. Quote
007-vf1 Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I might be for one as well...as usual... I will have to see my finances by the time the product is ready for sale. So far I am good.. Quote
codam23 Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I'm in for one. Cap how are you going to cast the rotors so they wont sag? Quote
jardann Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I'll be in for one, possibly two if finances allow. Quote
captain america Posted October 8, 2008 Author Posted October 8, 2008 I'm in for one. Cap how are you going to cast the rotors so they wont sag? The same way I managed to get matchstick-thick landing struts to hold up a beached whale like the Gnerl: inserts Honestly, I think that once you can get anime-accurate landing gear on something like that project and not have it collapse under its own weight, most everything else is child's play.

Some thin metal flat stock ought to do the trick. Quote
cool8or Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 This will be the first Macross helicopter ever made, I'm very excited. Quote
captain america Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 This will be the first Macross helicopter ever made, I'm very excited. It's not made yet. Demand seems to be pretty disappointing up to now. Quote
Berttt Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Hey John I know I had to bal on the Kamjin figure but this one I will definitely go for. Quote
valkyrie13 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 It's not made yet. Demand seems to be pretty disappointing up to now. Sorry... I haven't been here in weeks due to business travels. I am in for 2 at least and possibly 3. Hopefully, this will boost demand. Thanks, Cap't. Quote
Gabe Q Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 It's not made yet. Demand seems to be pretty disappointing up to now. This is pretty dissappointing. I really want this made... Quote
neptunesurvey Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I'll take 2 please. If you keep up this pace you will take all of my OT this year. Quote
Grayson72 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Well that makes 30 so far, how many you lookin' for? Quote
captain america Posted October 11, 2008 Author Posted October 11, 2008 I could accomodate almost double that, but another dozen couldn't hurt. I will start drafting plans for the Commanchero on Monday. I also plan to pick up a 1/72 Mi-24 to see if there could be some interesting parts to scavenge for the sake of realism and parts commonality. Quote
