mslz22 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Posted June 16, 2012 I really don't know what the PD scale is, it's studio scale for whatever that is worth, I would guess like between 1/3 and 1/2 scale. It's way to big to be 1/4. Quote
mslz22 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Posted July 1, 2012 Got the first rough in pics for the standing pilot from the sculptor, need some smoothing over but he's getting there. I hope to finish up the last little bits on the actual boss pod today and get them in rubber this week. The pilot will be available as an add on when it makes it's way to me. thanks mike Quote
Astralith Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 You know if Ray Harryhausen could have gotten his hands on models like these maybe we'd have had a Macross or Clash of the Titans Bionoids live action movie in the late 80's and maybe a CGI remake by now. Mslz22, your next project must be a working time machine... 1:1 scale. (not instigating an HG rant here) Quote
MechTech Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Awesome looking Mike! Can't wait to see the whole thing together! - MT Quote
mslz22 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Nothing to show today but wanted to post that this pattern is done, and the last of the molds have just been poured.....hopefully they will all work. It's a big relief to get those done! I got held up a little bit with another round of Probe Droid casting, those are done , I have a couple of standard pods to ship out this week then i should be able to concentrate for a few days to build the first kit... mike Edited July 16, 2012 by mslz22 Quote
gwfalcon Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Looking forward to more pictures of this great custom. Truly awesome casting skill!! Quote
mslz22 Posted August 9, 2012 Author Posted August 9, 2012 All the molds are done and I started a test build right before my vacation, I'm back now and just getting back into the swing of things today. I have a few odds and ends on other casting work to finish up then i will be able to really devote some time to getting this off the ground. Still waiting on some pics from the sculptor on the pilot figure, it's a bit overdue at this point. thanks mike Quote
mslz22 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Posted August 24, 2012 Test build underway, sorry for the messy bench, soooo many projects underway. More soon. thanks mike Quote
peter Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Nice man, keep up the great work! God, wish I had the $$ to get more of your goods. Quote
Benson13 Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 That Coke can in the background says it all. Quote
peter Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 That Coke can in the background says it all. Looking for that Coke can was like trying to find Waldo. Ultra detail big scale is the way of the future. Quote
Benson13 Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Looking for that Coke can was like trying to find Waldo. Ultra detail big scale is the way of the future. Just looking for something that I could use to gauge it's size. I'm amazed I saw it at all with all that epic gloriousness in front of it. Quote
peter Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Just looking for something that I could use to gauge it's size. I'm amazed I saw it at all with all that epic gloriousness in front of it. I know, right? It's tiny compared to the pod! I can't wait to see this monster all done. Quote
Benson13 Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I wish I had them to put in my lawn. They would be rigged to shoot the neighbor kid with simmunitions if they got to close. Quote
DarrinG Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I want to see this pod in person in my lifetime. To experience its awesome size up close, to climb in - and to jump out of a Martian trench with gusto! Quote
peter Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I want to see this pod in person in my lifetime. To experience its awesome size up close, to climb in - and to jump out of a Martian trench with gusto! 1/1 scale. It needs to be done. Quote
DarrinG Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Can someone do a photoshop 1/1 scale photo of a Glaug next to a well known building or monument? Quote
Ahab Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 When do you pan on starting an ordering list, and how much for one of these bad boys? Looks great. Quote
mslz22 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Posted August 25, 2012 I'll start taking some orders after i finish this test shot. Little more work here, I finished up the first foot, painted it up and secured it to a working platform, secured from underneath with 2 countersunk screws. There is no detail on the bottom of the feet, I did not see any possible way that something this giant would be able to be securely displayed with any part of the feet up. Also note the main cannon barrel, it's cast with a 3/8 hollow brass tube in the center. This will need to be trimmed in the front only, the back part will pass thru the cannon support and into the main back cannon thingy. thanks mike Quote
Wasabi-san Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 ---WOW!---Just---plain---WOW!--- Please let us know when we can place an order for the pod and fig. These models are on my Bucket List now. Quote
DarrinG Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 I would like to see an over head camera taking video of this being made in super fast motion. A 1/60 destroid monster for the masses is not seeming too far fetched now... Quote
claude grant Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Please let me know the price & how to order...sure hope I can afford this and the Regult cause you definitely know how to do them justice! Quote
mslz22 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 Ready for some decals, hope to have this pretty much wrapped up this afternoon..... thanks mike Quote
