John Moscato Interview and Model Retrospective

[UN Spacy]

Thanks...I'll take a listen tonight.

[Pat S]

Thanks for putting the interview together, and thanks John for sharing! My GF asked what I was listening to, and she sat down to listen.

BTW, I actually liked the first Screamers movie. It had some good paranoia atmosphere towards the middle, sort of like John Carpenter's The Thing.

I'll just pretend I didn't hear that!

Actually, I can't really find fault in your statement. I think that my initial expectations coupled with the mediocre special effects are what did the film in for me. Granted, I haven't watched it in well over a decade.

[Pat S]

Haha.

I'm definitely NOT saying Screamers is anywhere near as good as The Thing! The Thing is on an entirely different level in every aspect. I just have a soft spot for parts of Screamers for some reason.

What a great thread to follow. Thanks so much Boinger for doing this and I will be listening to the pod casts. Thanks for all your amazing and inspiring work John!

The Moscato Model Retrospective Collection: Pictures & Model Production Diaries is delayed

because I slept in and that EXO was able to point me to a couple of MW threads that I missed.

So, I will likely have the collection posted on bittorrent for this evening.

[boinger]

Moscato Model Retrospective Collection

Available Now!

Click on the weblink to download the magnet file

and use with torrent download software.

The model production diaries are only available in English

because the diaries were made from the Macross World forum

threads and English is my primary language.

[coronadlux]

Awesome, downloading now.

For those who need a spanish translation, I volunteered my sister to help out. Just PM me. lol.

[boinger]

EXO has informed me that I added in a metallic Tachikoma model

pictures in the Moscato Model Retrospective Collection were not made by John.

So, I'll stop the torrent, delete those pictures and start uploading again

soon.

[boinger]

I am seeding the old torrent until it is complete and then switching over to upload the

new torrent.

[coronadlux]

Do we post our questions for John here?

[captain america]

Do we post our questions for John here?

If you'd like. I'll be doing another segment in a couple of weeks so if you have anything to ask, I'll tackle the question in the podcast.

[miriya]

Honored

with

posterity

worthwhile

[HWR MKII]

Do you have plans for any future destroid releases? Like a Cheynne from Macross zero or Frontier?

[Berttt]

Dammit! Why do I keep getting a "failed to create parent directory" error with this torrent? It the only one I have had do that.

[Sdf-1]

Working for me, but it's really, really slow. I'll be seeding it for a while once I get it completed.

[Valkyrie addict]

Haven't listened to all of them yet but very interesting sofar.

I was never able to get his stuff cause at the moment I was pulling my limited resource to more real life stuff and I could only gawk at his threads

I really love his Zentradi stuff.

[PetarB]

Thank you Boinger, great interview, and great resource! All you effort (and John's of course) very much appreciated.

[boinger]

English literal transcripts of the John Moscato audio interview parts 1 to 3 are now available on Scribd!

Part 01

Part 02

Part 03

You can now see why a Spanish translation of this interview would be a little difficult.

The dialogue would need to be cleaned up and re-written to avoid colloquialisms and speech quirks

that mostly make sense in English, but would not make any sense in Espanol.

**********

I have been having a wicked chest cold for the last month when I went to go visit

my mom and her dog and cat. So, the final part of the Moscato interview has been delayed.

[PetarB]

Great to revisit this. Thanks again Boinger for all your effort.

[boinger]

I posted up an "ebook" of the current forum thread on my Scribd account.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/208579442/John-Moscato-November-2013

I am likely to put together an ebook for John's recently completed Inbit

resin model and post that ebook on Scribd as well.

John and I are going to be finishing up the interview this week.

We could just get the audio interview done first and then we can set a date for

John to be present on the MW forum to take any questions once some people have actually

listened to the latest interview.

[boinger]

Today at approximately 1 pm CST, John Moscato will be interviewed about his latest completed Inbit model.

The audio interview will be posted later today "barring any unforeseen circumstances".

If you have any questions for John about his models, then send me a message through the forum

or post the question on the Macrosshare blog shoutbox, thanks!

1/48 Inbit Gurab Production Model Diary by John Moscato

is now available on Scribd !

John and I had a 1 hour 3 minute interview about his latest

modelling work, some questions from his fans,

his thoughts on the modeling design process

and about hobby modeling in general.

I will be posting the Mixlr audio broadcast at 3 pm CST in the next half hour,

so you can listen to this interview.

If you miss the interview broadcast, then that's not a problem because

the interview will be recorded onto the Mixlr Macrosshare channel, so

you can listen to it at any time that is convenient for you.

***************************

I will be posting here with weblinks when I get the

Mixlr broadcast software to start recording the interview.

[boinger]

boinger: Oh no! The Macrosshare interview audio file has some sort of weird repetitve feedback loop that messed up the audio?!

boinger: I left the Mixlr webpage open and the uploaded interview audio was broadcasting at the same time and

recording the audio from both the windows media player and the audio that was broadcast through the Mixlr

website radio web app!

Let me try again!

Technical difficulties!

[boinger]

The John Moscato interview is now being broadcast

and it sounds okay !

You can listen to the interview now in progress by

going to the Macrosshare.com blog and use the Mixlr

appr or click on this weblink here.

Otherwise, in the next two hours, the interview will be

available on the Mixlr Macrosshare Radio channel.

[boinger]

Macrosshare Radio Episode 04

The continuing John Moscato Interview is now online!

And you can listen to the previous three interview segments as well.

You might need to look at the 1/48 Inbit Gurab and the 1/32 Legioss

production model diaries to see what John is talking about in the interview.

Comments, questions and suggestions for the interview can be posted here in this

thread.

Thanks for listening!

[EXO]

Just finished it. Thanks guys. Really interesting perspective. I especially liked it when Cap described and went through his reasoning on how he approached the 1/32 Legioss. There were noticeable differences from the lineart, and having owned and seen a lot of his kits, it's easy to know that he can sculpt things that looked like it jumped out of the reference books. So it's really cool to hear his decision process. What a great addition to the MW experience. Having you guys here is quite a win... thanks again!

[Gabe Q]

I also had a chance to listen to the interview. My favorite part was learning which view of the lineart received priority. You gotta give it to the Cap, he really knows how to take a few pieces of conflicting lineart and create a convincing three dimensional representation. I really enjoyed it, thanks.
