EXO Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 upgrade parts for the Beagle 1/10 Mospeada Ride Armor: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote
bigkid24 Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Sweet. Nothing like a BFG to add onto a kick ass toy. Quote
Jasonc Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Will you be recasting those? If they aren't too expensive, I'll take two sets Quote
EXO Posted September 8, 2010 Author Posted September 8, 2010 Made by Beagle? Beagle is out of the Mospeada game. I made these and I'll be offering them up as premade kits. They'll be casted in color and fully assembled. The saddle bags snap into place without assembly or tools. These are NOT recasts of the T-Rex kits. Their items have more features. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Made by Beagle? Nope, designed by >EXO< since Beagle doesn't love us anymore. Quote
robodragon Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 I'm in. Hey while your at it could you recast me the should flaps. My kids lost mine. Quote
Blue Faced Beast Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 These are awesome EXO, thanks for making them. How much for a set? I'm hoping to get 2. Will they be green, black or blue? Quote
EXO Posted September 8, 2010 Author Posted September 8, 2010 They'll be Olive drab green just like the show and that illustration. Quote
Blue Faced Beast Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 I was just talking to a friend about the feasibility of Beagle, Toynami or a fan made accessory pack for the 1/10 toys. Saddle bags and a BFG are awesome additions. I had also thought about other items like the line art attached, but i have no idea about fabricating stuff like this. Thanks again for giving us something awesome to add to our Toys EXO! Quote
EXO Posted September 8, 2010 Author Posted September 8, 2010 I definitely want to do more 1/10 items if this does well. Not just accessories. Quote
Tober Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I'm up for a set. Nice work too. Are you planning to do conversion kits for the Blowsperior and Bartley at all? Quote
Blue Faced Beast Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I definitely want to do more 1/10 items if this does well. Not just accessories. oooo Now I really am excited! Conversion kits? maybe a 1/10 Iigaa? Jim's Jeep! sorry going a bit crazy there. Quote
EXO Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 wow... that was quick... already made it across the ocean http://wildcats.pupui.jp/ someone in this forum is already doing a 1/10 version of Jim's jeep. I certainly wouldn't attempt it. I wouldn't build anything that big just so 2 or 3 people can buy it unless it was something I wanted for myself. Concerning the Blow Superior conversion kit. This is more doable. I can easily make those parts, but what are the chances people would buy a $200 toy, take it apart for a kit that may cost another $200? But it's one of those project I'm considering as a one off custom. Quote
dizman Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Those look fantastic, count me in for a set. Quote

But it's one of those project I'm considering as a one off custom. I would certainly buy a set. I already have a spare set of Mospeadas for customising. $200 for a conversion kit is small change compared to scanning, modelling and printing the parts myself through CAD systems. Quote
whitestar Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I would love a set, too. These look great! Quote

Not to mention sculpting Yellow's head and hair. It's not planned for this year for sure but when I'm ready I'll put up an interest thread and see if we can max out at least one mold. As long as people understand that these are gonna be resin parts and wont hold up to constant play like the materials used on the actual toy. I think the engine which definitely have to be replaced is POM on the toy. That's a major part that needs some serious engineering as a kit. Modelling it is the easy part It's the elbow grease needed to finish the part to match the rest of the toy that's the major hurdle. Still, a pipe dream of course... getting ahead of ourselves. Quote
RD Blade Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Those are some professional caliber modeling skills. Quote
derex3592 Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 OMG!!!! I almost missed this thread!!!!! I WANT TWO Sets of Saddle Bags!!!!!! Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 I'm already on the list for two sets. A Ligaa would be a must buy for me. Maybe not in 1/10 scale, but lets say in scale with the Megahouses and or the CMs Ridearmors and with Revo joints? I think you'd find enough interest in this forums alone to make a profit (Heck! Depending on the price I'd get multiples!). Quote
EXO Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 I'm just watching Robotech NEw Gen on hulu... don't know where my Mospeada DVDs are... I'm still huge fan of it. The Iiga would totally be awesome in the CM's 1/18 scale... Hell even the Gurab too. Maybe the protector Inbit would be doable in 1/10... But who'd make the 1/18 Legioss? lol. Even worse. Who'd buy it. Prolly the same people that bought the 1/2000 Macross. I'll be sending PM's back tonight and some tomorrow. Sit tight and thanks! Quote
nukatsuka Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 Do the saddlebags open up? I'm just watching Robotech NEw Gen on hulu... don't know where my Mospeada DVDs are... I'm still huge fan of it. The Iiga would totally be awesome in the CM's 1/18 scale... Hell even the Gurab too. Maybe the protector Inbit would be doable in 1/10...

EXO Posted September 11, 2010 Author Posted September 11, 2010 Do the saddlebags open up? These are not designed to open up. The box behind the seat does have the capacity to have the top removed and you can store a small item in there. But I have no idea what. I honestly didn't think they needed that feature and didn't want to copy the T-Rex design. I concentrated more on the ease of attachment and fit. These guys literally just snap on in 3 seconds. And snap off in about the same time. Quote
Penguin Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 Wow... that's some sharp work, EXO. Love the side-mount for the Stinger-esque launcher (that picture's what sold me on picking up that book ). I never saw the T-Rex package, but what you've done looks plenty fine to me! Quote
troyness Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 looks amazing EXO!!! Do you have an idea of the price,would love to get 2 sets of saddle bags & and gun!! Quote
EXO Posted September 13, 2010 Author Posted September 13, 2010 looks amazing EXO!!! Do you have an idea of the price,would love to get 2 sets of saddle bags & and gun!! I've been accepting payments on the sets. I'll put up an official for sale thread in the for sale section soon. $40 for each saddlebag set $20 for each bazooka All rates are USD. Shipping and paypal is extra. Quote
troyness Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 that pricing is soooo cheap considering all the work that would,ve gone into them!!! ( I,m guessing I dunno...ALOT!!!) You ARE a hero EXO...are you wearing a costume when you make these?? Anyway THANK-YOU VERY MUCH is an understatement!! Quote
AcroRay Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Nice work, Exo! I'm thinking of grabbing a bazooka to have for the day when I actually get one of these Ride Armors of my own... Quote
EXO Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 Thank you! Still grinding away... I hate sanding! Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Is that complete art works book still available these days? That and the Tenjin Hidetaka Art Works books I seem to have forgotten about. Haha sorry to derail the thread. Quote
EXO Posted September 23, 2010 Author Posted September 23, 2010 I haven't seen it in the bookstores for a while now. I saw Tenjin's book at AX. There should be another one coming out right? Quote
