Macross Ground Crew Figures Coming Soon

[EXO]

I started these a while back but had trouble with the software... finally found the fix. Those aren't really teaser images, that's actually how many polygons per model... so many it eclipsed the figures themselves.

[505thAirborne]

I like it, definitely will find some use for these guys down the road!

[MILKAUTICO]

In 1/60?

[CoreyD]

Will definitely purchase!

[EXO]

In 1/60?

and 1/48.

I have to see if it survives 1/72 printing.

[Smegalot]

Put me down for 1/60 set.

Do you ship to Australia?

[ahiachris]

I like to have a lot of them in 1/72

[Jefuemon]

1/72 or 1/48

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Smut Peddler]

1/48.... score

painted please

[DarrinG]

Put me down for a 1/60 set painted please - soon if possible!

[EXO]

Put me down for 1/60 set.

Do you ship to Australia?

Yes. I have shipped there.

Here's the guy fixing whatever it is... the wheel or something. The smaller version is to remind that these are meant to be seen at a way smaller size.

[mechaninac]

Are you casting these or doing RP (Shapeways) and letting the buyer handle all the clean up and painting?

[EXO]

I don't really like selling straight from Shapeways and like to avoid it if I can. If all their printout was smooth and easy to paint I'd do it that way. Also it's a lot less expensive if there were recasted. The WSFP is cheap but I don't recommend it for figures this small. The plan is to clean them up make sure everything is smooth and sell them as resin for people to paint. If there's any clean up by people it'll be minor, like flash or pin holes.

There maybe a few I'll put up on Shapeways, some that are impossible to recast because of the pose. Or if there's not enough interest I'll just put it up on my store, but it'll cost more.

[mechaninac]

Cool. Resin cast is almost always better than the stair-stepping ridled RP builds... too much clean up, and if you're not intimatly familiar with the piece you're liable to cut or sand off something you shouldn't; besides, you being the modeler, you'll do a much better job at the prep stage prior to molding which will result in a much better final product.

I'll keep an eye on this and may be very interested in both the 1/60 and 1/48 sets.

[neptunesurvey]

Yes. I have shipped there.

Will you also be doing a maintenance crew?

Is that gangnam style on ground crew 19?

[EXO]

Maintenance crew is the next set. And then a special set for the third.

opa!

[Mechamaniac]

You know I'm down for two sets!

[Froy]

Is that gangnam style on ground crew 19?

Was wondering the same.

[Kylwell]

please oh please in 1:48

[cool8or]

Interested in 1/72 and 1/48. Good luck!

[jardann]

Here's one I did years ago with wax... sad thing with hand sculpted figures is that you're stuck with one scale.

En garde!

[sreichma]

I'll do two sets in 1/60 with the painted option for sure.

[EXO]

[Valkyrie Magnus]

Lol is that the engineer head from Prometheus?

I've used both with good results.

[EXO]

ah yeah. I've heard of hydrospan. I've never seen anyone use it though. If my 1/72's don't survive printing, I'm gonna send you my 1/60s to reduce scales.

[nautilus]

One set please. 1/48

That would be fine.

[MechTech]

Those look GREAT EXO! Too bad they can't print in micro 1:350 scale I gotta say it, the middle gray proof looks like he's kickin' it Gangman style - MT

[EXO]

LOL. I've only seen that vide once because I finally had to see what the hell Stephen Colbert was talking about.

Gangnam Style not included.

[PetarB]

Nice work.

2013 should be another good year for modelers!

[just some modeler guy]

Interested in 1/72 scale sets. Anymore info would be appreciated,as i didn't see a listing in the toy's link.

[MILKAUTICO]

1/60 rules !!!

[valid]

i think there's a lot of 1:72 and 1:48 deck crew set.. but 1:60 i never knew except for the PG gundam set... i made it too in shapeways.. and you need to sand papper it in a few part so it could be paint easier
