Mike1975 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) How about at 1/285 scale to go with Robotech Tactics stuff? You'll get a lot of guaranteed sales that way!And if you want to see about some pre-orders I have 500 members on a Facebook Page for Robotech Tactics that would likely want to order a few!

MILKAUTICO Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 How about a 1/60 VC-33? yes, how abaut a 1/60 ? everything!!!! Quote
sbantonelli Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I suspect 1/285 models would bring legal retaliation from the company making the game. It's best if we have nothing to do with that scale. Quote

Actually you could carve out a little niche like the 3rd party transformers people do, and do models that HG/Palladium can't or won't touch like the mecha from Mac7, Zero, Plus, or Frontier. Quote
Felindar Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 While I myself would like the 1/2/85 scale I must admit for the larger ships and transports the 1/350th is really nice. I have two of the bugeye theater scouts. They are large enough that they are quite adequate and don't need to be 16 the bigger. And if we're talking requests that flying saucer like leading pod for backcross would be awesome. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I finally catch up with this thread. Amazing project. I want the clam BECAUSE of her sheer size (and EXO's FANTASTIC interpretation). Bioroids! Man, so little love for them over the last decades that I've forgot just how much I love those guys. Now I have another incentive to improve my financial situation. Edit: I vote for molded in color Ligaas as well. I'm guessing the plastic finish will replicate their glossy surface? Quote

Mike1975 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Only if there were sold in bulk to the general public like on ebay..... . Otherwise nothing Robotech or Macross related could be made Quote
Breetai Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 So my question is .. what do any of you all have for Robotech minis .. are they the same size that can be used in the Robotech tactics game that's coming out ? is there a list of what you have ?... I have interest in buying some .. where can I go to find any of the stuff can someone email me a link ...emails etc hobgoblin01@shaw.ca thank you Quote
neptunesurvey Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) To answer some of your questions: Why not in 1/285th? - Reason one, is that I like the 1/350th scale. Reason two, is to be in scale with the Garfish. Reason three, is that as a modeler 1/350th is a common ship scale and it is easier to find after market products so you can add accessories. Robotech tactics game - These kits are not at all associated with the tactics game nor will I make them in 1/285th scale (read first question). If you wish to use them in the game the size differences is not that much. I have seen a picture on this site of the bugeye being used in a 1/285th game and it is plenty big enough. Did you post that Felindar? These kits in 1/350th have been in planning for a longtime well before the tactics game became known. The first in line was the Garfish. I still have a couple of more 1/350th ideas that will hopefully be completed next year. Edited May 2, 2014 by neptunesurvey Quote

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 wow, these things are so cool but is it possible to make a transforming hovertank? Quote
captain america Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Hobatankuu would be veeeeeery tiny at 1/300. I doubt that you could get it to transform. Quote
505thAirborne Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Hobatankuu would be veeeeeery tiny at 1/300. I doubt that you could get it to transform. If thats the case Capt, then you need to put your Genius Cap on and design a large scale SPARTAS Hovertank! You already proved it possible with the LEGIOSS you made! Quote
CoryHolmes Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 *quietly hands the Cap'n his sculpting tools* The masses have spoken. Make it happen, good sir. Quote

Felindar Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Yes indeed those were my pics. And anyone who is interested on that thread I also have the stickers I designed and laid out to be printed by someone who does vinyl stickers. And I have to say Zentradi drop pod whooot. Quote
LtStick Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 A Hover Tank that transformed would be great. I have the Exo Squad/ Robotech one and would love to see a better version made. Quote
MechTech Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Hhhhhooooooovvvvver taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnk in 1/350 to go with the bioroids. That dropship is looking SHWEEEET! - MT Quote
Tober Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Biopsychers!!! orange.PNG Hover Tanks! Are next!!! FYI These are all 1/350 models so there isn't as much accuracy and detail. Rest assured the 1/72 and 1/48s will look awesome. 1/72s will be static models and 1/48s will be engineered for ball joints. 1/48 Hovertank WILL be transformable and casted in color... will include figure and hopefully a hoverbike. I just gotta rush these 350s for these guys' show at the end of this month. Looks awesome! Great to hear you will be tackling the Hovertanks next. Quote

EXO Posted May 6, 2014 Author Posted May 6, 2014 If anyone has detailed scans of Bioroids and Hovertanks from Model Kits send them over. If not I gotta watch a lot of Southern Cross... Quote
