KiriK Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 great detailing on it! can't wait to see it all finished =] Quote
mslz22 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Posted May 7, 2012 Hey guys, quick update I am about 95% done with the molds, just a few small parts to go. However, I have been pulled away on another casting project for a few weeks, so this will slow to a crawl while I work on that. I won't make it to WF this year anyway, life is just too busy with the kids and my wife's job, I hope to make it next year. I do hope to at least get a test cast done sometime this week to show off. thanks mike Quote
mslz22 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 Got few minutes to put together a foot...the foot alone is bigger than the body for the Capt's 1/72 body... thanks mike Quote
Benson13 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 If I put this in my front yard, do you think it would get more attention than a typical garden gnome? Quote
EXO Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 I can't wait!!! To see it... I can wait for the kit. Take your time Mike! Quote
505thAirborne Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 If I put this in my front yard, do you think it would get more attention than a typical garden gnome? I would definitely say so! Quote
mslz22 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Posted May 11, 2012 Thanks guys, I know this is a complete mess, but i could not resist the urge to do a quick mock up with a combo of some cast parts and some of the pattern. Some of the pattern parts have damage from molding but I just really wanted to see this thing stand up for a couple of minutes...it's massive! thanks mike Quote
mslz22 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Posted May 11, 2012 Thanks, couple more, could not resist playing with the arms, and top cannon..... mike Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 What scale is that Hikaru? 1/48, so the glaug is insanely huge!!! Quote
Zinjo Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 This is crazy cool!! Work like this is why I would kill to see an international Macross museum somewhere. These projects should be on public display.... WOW Quote
Benson13 Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 If that thing had a remote control I'd let it wrestle my kid. Quote
EXO Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Censored between the legs? That accurate Japanese robo porn! Quote
CoryHolmes Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 *jaw drop* I love those in-scale pictures. Neeeeeeed more! Quote
DarrinG Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 This is just wicked cool. I want to see the hatch open and the pilot crawl out and stand next to the valk. Its only when you see TRUE scale like this, can you realize just how much MAGIC the animators used when scaling down the pods for the Macross episodes... Quote
mechaninac Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 mslz22, you half mad, half crazy lunatic, that is just too impressive for words! Quote
Ghadrack Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 It makes me sad you can't make Wonderfest, because I would honestly love to just sit in the the Dealers room if you and Steve were going to be there splitting a table and film people's wallets being pillaged to gruesome deaths for 2 solid days because you guys have bar-none the very coolest model kits on earth. For unsuspecting Star Wars / Macross Modellers,walking by your table would be like a crack head with a credit card walking past a table covered with cocaine, I would literally be able to film people's willpower breaking.

wwwmwww Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Censored between the legs? That accurate Japanese robo porn! I was wondering the same thing... the shape of that censored area... its location... I guess now we know why this is called the "boss pod". That is one well endowed zentradi. Carl Quote
MechTech Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I need to get a bigger house, then I need to get one of those! Oh, and I guess a really big plastic "cup" to support my hobby - MT Quote
derex3592 Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 any chance of a 1:60 version in the future perhaps????? I'll bet there would be a LOT of taker's on that around here... Quote
peter Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Oh man, that looks so bad-ass. You're 1/48 line up will definitely make folks appreciate their 1/48 valks a lot more than before. Quote
Loute Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Wow, it's huge!!! It's even taller than my cat who is a Meltran among other cats I understand your urge to have an estimation of its size by roughly assembling it, I can't wait to see it finished, good job! Edited May 18, 2012 by Loute Quote
mslz22 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 Big set of decals for this has arrived. I am done molding the probe droid kit and i am actively casting that now, so in between casting rounds I will finish up the last little bits on this and get cracking on the test build. thanks mike Quote
mslz22 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 I have someone working on the pilot for this in 1/48, a real figure sculptor, I can do robots but not figures. He is a little overdue right now but i am hoping for July. It's fixed pose, moveable stuff looks a little too "action figureish" for me with the need for ball joints etc, this will be more like a statue. I don't have a problem with action figures, just not what i wanted to go along with these models. After that I will try to buckle down and finish that 1/72nd monster. I have actually made a lot of progress that i have not posted up yet, I am much, much happier with the new monster pattern than the first one i did...not that the first one was terrible, just happier with this one. thanks mike Next project 1/48 meltran movable pilot????

MechTech Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Looking more awesome everyday Mike! Who's doing your decals, I may contact them for some upcoming projects. - MT Quote
