captain america Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) The time has come for the heavy artillery! So here's my proposal: a resin kit in my usual style and quality that will have the following features: -free-pose build (build it in the pose you want), fingers too. -the option of having open or closed missile bays (shoulders) -translucent canopy with detailed cockpit interior (no pilot though) -can be built as the dude or chick model (just sand off the head antenna) I'll also look into making the cockpit hatch open with the seat deploy. Worst case you'll have to choose open or closed build versions if the hinge mechanism is too intrusive/complex. We'd be looking at a price-point of $215 Canadian bucks (about $200 US) and I would need 30 orders to get the ball rolling. Who's with me?? I will also accept payments in Bitcoins for the brave pioneers among you Edited July 14, 2014 by captain america Quote
DarrinG Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 In. Would really like it if the canopy opened and the cockpit area deployed down if you can pull it off. EXO needs to do some seated pilot figs for it too . . . Quote
Tober Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Put me down for 2, thanks. :D $200 tho... OUCH! Quote
Major Tom Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I'll take 2 as well. Time to start saving... Quote
derex3592 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) I'll commit to one. perhaps 2, but that's a definite OUCH to the wallet pic might help get people motivated!!! Edited July 14, 2014 by derex3592 Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I. AM. IN. I cam only afford one though. Quote
Phyrox Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Hmm, I want this to succeed, but I've never been a huge fan of the Gosu. Wake me up if you re-open the Protect Inbit project. Good luck with this one, hope it turns out as nice as the previous two. Quote
505thAirborne Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I'll see if I can swing the $200.00 price tag, would love to have this next to my Stick Legioss!! Quote
mechaninac Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I want one, truly, but will have to give it some thought before committing; I've spent far too much money this year already... and it's barely half over. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 You guys sitting on the fence are mad Mad MAD I tell yas the Gosu is the q-rau of Mospeada. It frakking pwns. Been waiting ages for this! !! Quote
captain america Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) You guys sitting on the fence are mad Mad MAD I tell yas the Gosu is the q-rau of Mospeada. It frakking pwns. Been waiting ages for this! !! Well that, plus the fact that there are ZERO prospects on the horizon from any official kit/collectible companies, who probably regard Inbit offerings with as much enthusiasm as an anchor by a drowning man. The very few (garage)kit iterations of this mecha which I've seen have been disappointing to be put mildly. Edited July 15, 2014 by captain america Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Lord Moscato has spoken. The hatch just for open looks basic it's the lowering of the cockpit that looks too fiddly but I hope we are spoilt rotten with features muahaha Edited July 15, 2014 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 And well done Cap you alone have awoken me from my slumber of extreme mwf hiatus I'll be glued to the forum for months now. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) If I wanted it to be poseable with let's say ball joints (like revoltech or technic) and mod it that way? When you say free pose to make it up our way that means no moving parts right (as in we need to glue in place) Edited July 15, 2014 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) I don't even have a 1/48 legioss to battle against but I'm gonna have fun with my vf1s! Cross anime battlefield muhahaha Edited July 15, 2014 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
captain america Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 Yes, free-pose means no moving parts. At least one member modded my Gurab (Pinky Space Crab) with ball-joints. It's certainly feasible, but I opt not to do this to maintain as much authenticity in the joints as possible despite their often unrealistic design. Also, ball-joints make a resin model more fragile due to the overall weight so I leave that compromise to people who really want it. Quote
Lord Uglor Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I think that I'll have to put my name in for one of these, please. Quote
jenius Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 While I'm not a modeler I'm stoked you're doing this and looking forward to seeing some completed builds. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) I'll be modding mine for sure. The legs don't need to move much at all, basic inwards out arms pretty much. Pic of the knee jointed looks difficult. The hands are fine the way they are pictured, nothing much happening there. Edited July 15, 2014 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
DarrinG Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I'm not really a modeler either, and I won't have any time for this for a LONG time. But, I mean, this is a CAP custom made Inbit GOSU resin kit for pete's sake - ! - Anyone liking the idea at all should reach and get one - JUST IN CASE. Later you'll be kicking yourself for not going for it . . . Quote
derex3592 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Any idea on rough height/size? looks like it's somewhere in the range of about as tall as the Blueberry Crab kit. Edited July 15, 2014 by derex3592 Quote
akim Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Some bigger pics just for completion, but i'm pretty sure you've got all them^^ http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/9833/gosu5img7007ty0.jpg http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/2404/gosu4img7007wc3.jpg http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/3122/gosu2img7007xs2.jpg http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/1353/gosu3img7007nb6.jpg http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/9739/gosu6img7007un3.jpg http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/804/gosu7img7007bv1.jpg and like always: http://www.gearsonline.net/series/mospeada/mecha/inbit-mecha/gosu/ ^^ edited: added pics Edited July 16, 2014 by akim Quote
captain america Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 Any idea on rough height/size? looks like it's somewhere in the range of about as tall as the Blueberry Crab kit. Yes, the stats show that it's about the same size but more detailed and with a more complex parts breakdown, hence the price. Quote

captain america Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 When will payments be due and will you require shipping up front, or later like last time? I'm thinking August 1st so as to give people a bit of breathing room during the vacation season. Yes, payments with shipping up-front. Quote
sbantonelli Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Had an unexpected expense come up, but the August 1st should be doable. Add me for 1. Quote
EXO Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 DarrinG just pointed me to this thread, I'd be happy to sculpt pilots for this figure if the captain isn't already going to provide it. I would just need a copy of the cockpit from someone who bought it to get the correct measurements. That is of course if anyone is interested. But please focus on getting the numbers for this project first... Sorry cap... didn't mean to intrude. I do love these Inbit sculpts! Quote
