captain america Posted April 24, 2012 Author Posted April 24, 2012 Still having trouble contacting Chris. I really don't know what to do from here: it already cost me a substantial bit up front to get him to work on the parts and now he's leaving me hanging... Quote
Pat S Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 What about Carl's suggestion a few posts back. The joints could be 3d printed??? Just don't give up Captain! We won't either. Been waiting for this for too long. Thanks. Quote
wwwmwww Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 The joints could be 3d printed???My understanding is that the joints were to be 3D printed. So there must have been a model made at somepoint as I recall see printed parts. If anyone still has that model it should be a simple mater just to upload it to Shapeways. If no one has the model I could offer to try to reverse engineer a model from the printed parts. I'm far from the fastest 3D modeler but I think I should be able to pull that off. Carl Quote
captain america Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 Hey everyone, I have some great news! I finally managed to contact Chris earlier tonight and touch base with him. As per what he told me, he's been having some personal issues to deal with, which is why he hasn't been on the forums. It seems that all the parts are done and about to be shipped, so with any luck I'll have the final parts in the next 2 weeks. Quote
TheElf Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Man, I can't wait to see this thing assembled finally! Anyone know how they are going to paint and mark theirs? Quote
Ghadrack Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 I'm curious too. If the only thing missing are a few joints and a canopy, and it's beenn a couple months, I'd almost rather have the model parts shipped to me now and consider paying extra to have the joints/canopies shipped to me seperately later. Every month that passes makes the random liklihood of a lightning strike/heart attack/alien abduction seem more likley to my paranoid brain Quote
captain america Posted June 15, 2012 Author Posted June 15, 2012 Spoke to Chris earlier this week. Seems that the parts have been shipped but somehow got lost in transit. There's a postal investigation goin on on his end and now we're waiting to see if the parcel can be found or if he'll need to make a new batch. Quote
Valkyrie Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Gah... not good. I do hope they were shipped with tracking and insurance. Can you just send us the resin, and ship the joints when they arrive? It's been 9 months since the last installment, and I need my fix! Quote
jadefalconguard Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Not panicking just yet hope the last part comes soon! Quote
THOR Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 let me know if i can help, too. i just got back in the saddle with my computer and software so i'm back to doing 3d stuff again. Quote
SILVERDRAGON Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Hi everyone, Well here is something i been working on and got Capt's blessing. So hope you guys like SD Quote
captain america Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 Hi everyone. My sincerest apologies for the long silence. I just got off the phone with Chris earlier, and the post office found the lost parts and they've been returned to him. I should be receiving them by the end of next week. A light at the end of the tunnel, finally!!! Also, Silverdragon will be embarking on a project to make alternate heads for The Beast, as shown by his diagrams above. Quote
Knight26 Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Man I can't wait for all the build up threads on this thing to start. Quote
captain america Posted July 12, 2012 Author Posted July 12, 2012 Prayers have been answered. I see I wasn't the only one praying! LoL Whenever I hear stories about parcels lost in transit 98% of the time it's never good. Guess we all dodged a bullet on that one. Quote
captain america Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know that the canopies and composite joints have finally arrived safe and sound! You heard me right, this is not a joke! I'll begin packing all the parts during the upcoming week and begin shipping in due course. Before I do though, I would ask that those of you who have moved in the last year please PM me with your new info so that I don't end up sending the parts to an outdated address. It seems that fate could not stop me from completing the Beast after all... Quote
EXO Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 It's a milestone for the Captain and MW... what a long road! Congrats Cap!!! John Moscato - 1/32 Legioss Project (Cancelled) April 20th, 2001 - June 20, 2011 Quote
DarrinG Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 I think we need something better than this... Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 What about a corresponding 1/32 Gosu??? I would be definitely in. Quote
nautilus Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Here, just take my money. Why won't you just take my money? 10/10 Quote
DarrinG Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 The WF Gosu is 1/48 as well I believe. We need a better sculpt, opening cockpit with clear canopy, pilot fig - in say... 1/32 scale? Quote
