niVL@Boy Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Hey Guys, this is still on, my wife just had our 2nd baby over the holidays, we are back home and after a week break i will be back at work on this for a very early spring release, likely mid march. Once the molds are done i will take orders until those molds are toast, which will likely be a pretty short run since this is pretty big... thanks mike Hey..congratz on the new family addition...will be eagerly waiting for your return Quote

DaDragon Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Hi Mike, Sorry to be late, but I've only got intermittant use of my computer due to family circumstances.

Congrats to dad, on his second time (dad squared?!!?!?!), and lets not forget Mom who did, after all, have a fairly major part to play. Like the man said, "there is nothing more important than family". Graham. Edited January 16, 2010 by DaDragon Quote

Myersjessee Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 This sounds great Mike! I need to go ahead and finish mine now! Quote
MechTech Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Oh yeah, grab ALL the sleep you can get! Those first few months can be rough - MT Quote
ultimateone Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 YES! I found a great deal on the airbrush and compressor I wanted, the Apple tablet is far less than I had anticipated... the cards being dealt are making the purchase of this beauty an easy one!!! Quote

ultimateone Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 The Apple tablet is far less than ANYONE anticipated. I know, so much they could have done... Oh well, more money for other goodies. Like some Monster Madness!! Quote
mslz22 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Posted March 29, 2010 Hey Guys, the baby has kept me busier than i expected as well as some delays on another huge project that i have been doing for WonderFest. I do still fiddle with it from time to time but I don' think i can expect major progress until after Wonderfest. But his is still on and right now should be my major focus after Wonderfest. So much of this is done it would be a shame to not to finish it, in fact most of the heavy lifting on the rework is done, and the finer detail stuff is the part I enjoy doing the most so i am still motivated to get it done, time just flies by with a baby in the house..... thanks again and sorry for the delay is updates... mike Any new progress on the monster? Quote
Ghadrack Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I was just doing a little work on my Version 1 yesterday and thought I'd check in on this thread. Look forward to seeing your next progress update. I'm planning to hit Wonderfest this year, you going to be bringing anything to display? Quote

We can wait What is the huge project for Wonderfest?? secret?? Quote
ultimateone Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 No problem on the delay, more time to save!! Quote
mslz22 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 Thanks Guys, for WF i am working on an AT AT that is nearly 4 ft long and will be over 3 feet tall when finished. I hope i can get it done... Quote
Ghadrack Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Awesome, I want to get a picture riding it like a pony Quote
MechTech Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 You had some 4" dryer vent tubing laying around that you just had to find a home for huh! Looks great! There's a theme with you - BIG MODELS - MT Quote
mslz22 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 It should be just about 1/16 scale....it makes the monster look tiny... What scale is tha AT AT? Quote
Ghadrack Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Oh hey, and someday when you get the bug to do another Macross project, that 2500 scale SDF-1 would still be pretty darn awesome, Yamato's 2K scale wasn't really reasonable for anyone other than the ultra-fan with deep pockets, at least one other guy talked about doing a 2500 scale kit and decided not to. I know I still want one Quote
mslz22 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Posted April 1, 2010 It's always on my mind.....I was really, really thinking about a 1/2000 TV one...I have a guy that does 3d stuff for me now for some of the more complicated stuff, in fact on the big AT AT the neck, drive units, and a handfull of other parts are "grown" parts. I also did a 1/12 TOS BSG viper and almost 1/3 of that was "grown" parts. Now that we have worked on a few projects together we have a good groove going where i can do the bigger stuff with traditional methods and really tricky stuff gets done in the computer. I really need to hammer out this AT AT and the monster and think about what comes next, I have more ideas than i have time is usually the issue with me.... mike Oh hey, and someday when you get the bug to do another Macross project, that 2500 scale SDF-1 would still be pretty darn awesome, Yamato's 2K scale wasn't really reasonable for anyone other than the ultra-fan with deep pockets, at least one other guy talked about doing a 2500 scale kit and decided not to.

That 1/12 viper kit is incredible. The build up that I think Moffeaton? is doing with the LCD display in the cockpit is really incredible stuff. I just wish I had room for some of the cool stuff you've done. Quote
jorawar_b Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) add a at at gunner also Edited April 19, 2010 by jorawar_b Quote
MechTech Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 this would go well with the AT/AT Hey look, it's a speeder bike chick or speedbike mamma! - MT Quote

Going to take a little break for a few days after and break out the monster and start playing around with it. I hope people are still interested, pending it coming out good... How's the WonderFest Project coming along? That's next weekend, right? Quote
