Berttt Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Ah awesome new man. Oooh man am I looking forward to that box when it gets here Quote
sbantonelli Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I just checked out your vehicles; they are great! Is it too late to get in on them? I would take whatever you have in the smallest scale possible. Quote
tundrayeti Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 I just checked out your vehicles; they are great! Is it too late to get in on them? I would take whatever you have in the smallest scale possible. Send me a PM. I am finishing up a third run of those and looks like I'll have a few extras. Quote
Grayson72 Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Where do we stand with the canopies for this? Quote
tundrayeti Posted October 29, 2012 Author Posted October 29, 2012 Still waiting. I'll get in contact and see where we are at. I may just start shipping these out and send the canopies later. That is always an option. I hope to have these out the door before thanksgiving. Quote
TER-OR Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Hi, Guys. Sorry the canopy bits have taken so long. I really don't have time to do this stuff anymore, but I know it can make a very nice canopy. My buddy has the masters now, and will pour rubber. I've ordered fresh resin and we'll vacuum cast the frame, and ambient cast bucks for the vacform plastic. The clear glass will sit inside the frame and be easy to install. Then it's just a matter of doing a couple a night (letting them sit long enough to get nice and rigid before demolding). The image is an old image from the beginning of the buck and before polishing up the canopy frame (and thinning it a bit). I know I have more recent pictures but can't seem to find them....anyway - you can see how this will work. Quote
Grayson72 Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 That's a great approach, it looks so much better with a separate canopy frame over the vacuform canopy. AMP did this with their EDF Medivac Shuttle from Starblazers, worked very well. Quote
neko_fr Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Incredible work, it will be awesome! Thank you for doing all of this ...And sorry for the bad english (if any) Quote
neko_fr Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Hi! I hope everybody has has a gret christmas Any news? Quote
tundrayeti Posted December 27, 2012 Author Posted December 27, 2012 Christmas was great! I'm still waiting on the canopies, Since I find myself currently unemployed I am considering mailing out the kits with all the parts except for the canopies and sending those out when they are done. That way folks can at least get started with the prep work etc. Quote
tundrayeti Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 Still waiting on the canopies. In the meantime, I'm going to pack up therest of the kits and start sending them out so that you guys can at least get started. Quote

neko_fr Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 It would be great ! Thank you, in advance Quote
Berttt Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Can't wait for these to arrive! Brett T Quote
tundrayeti Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) I appreciate your patience guys. Got some pics from the vacuum caster of the first pulls. Im still getting these out, but the canopies should be in my hands soon. Edited February 23, 2013 by tundrayeti Quote
Berttt Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Oh so there was a breakthrough with the vac formed canopies? Nice! Quote
tundrayeti Posted February 24, 2013 Author Posted February 24, 2013 Yep this is what i recieved. The bottom part will be clear, but of course it's easier to see detail when it's white. Quote
jardann Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Oh, hey what's the status of these? I'm not in a hurry and glad to wait, but I hope I don't miss out on ordering one of these. Quote
neko_fr Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 The beginning of the end I appreciate all your work, thanks I look forward to seeing the plane (and the military vehicles) in my hands Quote
tundrayeti Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 I have the canopies and I'll start sending them out within the week. I'm off next week so I'll have plenty of time to get them done. Then I can finish mine up and get it posted Quote
Viceland Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 I sent you my new address last November, do you need it again? Quote
Spitfire_BR Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Someone need to do the dirt job... And the final price will be ? Please be gently with us, say it very slow and calm ! Quote
tundrayeti Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 Final price will still be $115 plus shipping. Let me get out the prepaid guys first and then I'll stgart taking money again. If anyone will be at Wonderfest in Louisville, I'll have them there too. I'll also have some other goodies as well Quote
master of macross Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 oooo amazing why not in 1/60 scale? it's a dream Quote
TER-OR Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Sorry it took so long, volunteer work does... It took a bit of learning to get the vacuum casting process down, but once I figured it out, I was pulling void-free casts. When I'll get around to building my copy, I can't say. Quote
tundrayeti Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 TER-OR, one of the best things about this site is that folks do understand that life happens. Thanks for making this kit so much better. Quote
neko_fr Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 That's right, and I'm taking the occasion to thanks you (by advance) for all the work you've done. So.. Thank you Quote
tundrayeti Posted April 7, 2013 Author Posted April 7, 2013 Still getting everything boxed up for shipping. I want a few of these for Wonderfest as well. Quote
Berttt Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 So how's that boxing and shipping coming along? Quote
