Smut Peddler Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Makes me wish I could afford more of them. Quote
captain america Posted August 28, 2014 Author Posted August 28, 2014 Arguably, the photochopped image makes it look far stubbier than it really is. You'll see when the first test-shots are done and I can show it with all its parts. In the meantime, buckler action!! Quote
PetarB Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Phenomenal work. I love all the organic shapes on this one. Quote
sbantonelli Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 It's perfect. What I have a hard time believing is awe of how quickly you produce these masterpieces. Great work! Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Amazing amazing amazing holy shizzle Quote
Steve71 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Love to have one. If there's any left, can I sent you paypal like the last Inbids I ordered? It's like Christmas in August. Quote

You'll see when the first test-shots are done and I can show it with all its parts. In the meantime, buckler action!! Thanks for addressing that. It was going to be my only concern, but great to know you already addressed it. Can't wait to see final shots This will be one of my favorites for certain. Quote
derex3592 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Any updates from Inbit headquarters??? Quote
captain america Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Any updates from Inbit headquarters??? You mean Reflex Point?? Actually yes!! Thanks for reminding me, the molds are almost done and I already have test-shots and preliminary casting started. Castings came out beautifully Edited September 6, 2014 by captain america Quote
Tober Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Nice! Looking forward to the test-shot. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 What's the difference between a test-shot and a casting? Quote
captain america Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 What's the difference between a test-shot and a casting? Test-shot is the very first casting where you trouble-shoot, see if the vents and gates are sufficient, need to be enlarged or new vents added to prevent air pockets or decrease pour time. Also, the castings will be in a color other than gray for production Quote
CoryHolmes Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Have you ever made a test-shot and had to scrap a whole mould? Quote
captain america Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 Have you ever made a test-shot and had to scrap a whole mould? Very interesting question! Never a whole mould, but there have been rare occasions where a cavity within a mould will not yield acceptable castings and so a particular part will be set onto a different mould box with a corrected position to yield better castings. The frequency of these events has dwindled over time: lots of practice and experience has all but done away with these problems although there are some shapes which I sculpt that require more study in able to mould/cast properly.

captain america Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 Soooo the casting has FINALLY commenced this week. Will be at ComicCon all weekend, but wanted to at least get a pic of my crabs out there for everyone to see... Orange mousse flavor Quote
Tober Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 wanted to at least get a pic of my crabs out there for everyone to see... Orange mousse flavor Your crabs are big and plentiful. What do you feed them... Any plans yet for an Iigaa (with booster pack) to complete the crab pack? Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Your crabs are big and plentiful. What do you feed them... Weiner dogs... Quote

What are the other ones with the boosters? If enough people want in, I'd be down for it. I'd be down for a few at least. Quote
DarkArchon3000 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I would be interested in a few. Just like in the photo, I would need crabs with boosters, crabs with boosters and cannons, flying crabs with only cannons, plain ole crabs with no booster nor cannons.... Quote

Just like in the photo, I would need crabs with boosters, crabs with boosters and cannons, flying crabs with only cannons, plain ole crabs with no booster nor cannons.... In the show and animation sheets, I think we only ever see the booster on Iiaga with no guns. Memory could be wrong on that... And I'll put in another plea for the Protect Armor over the Iiaga. Quote
varitechs Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) I hate you.... Lol Nice. What are the other ones with the boosters? they been made (already monted and painted) and sold by sold by "Arcane art" in 2007, here on Macrossworld and on other forums: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=24268&hl=%2Binbit+%2Bresin 6 types were available, Each model were available with or without canons. invid scout (standing) invid scout (flying) invid scout (space booster) in 2008, i asked him a lot of times if he will made other models, he wanted, but he never made it because a lack of time. Edited September 13, 2014 by varitechs Quote
mechaninac Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) If enough people want in, I'd be down for it. Most definitely! I don't know about the booster --too huge a hunk of resin, too heavy, add too much cost... unless, maybe, if it were hollow cast-- but a couple of Ligaa per set (scout and armed scout) would be cool. Edited September 13, 2014 by mechaninac Quote
derex3592 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Agreed. Don't need the booster. Just scout with canons. I'd be done for 2 or 3. Edited September 13, 2014 by derex3592 Quote
Smut Peddler Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 If enough people want in, I'd be down for it.i would need several Quote
cool8or Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 also, we'll need a 1/48 Protector... may be you can sell it together with the Ligaa? Quote
DarrinG Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 My vote is for Ligaa and Protector next -simultaneously- to cut down on shipping costs, and to include booster so you can make the Ligaa either way. Cap usually goes all out on these and I can't see him not including the booster. He tends to do the ultimate versions. I think most of us who ordered the other Inbits will get several of each of these - not just 1 like the Gosu and Gamo. I might get up to 4 each of the Ligaa and Protector if they are affordable . . . Quote
sbantonelli Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I also vote for the 1/48 protector and the Ligaa with the booster. I don't care if the kits come as one, but both would be nice to complete my collection. Quote
captain america Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 Er, back on the topic at hand... I'll try to have some full-frontal King Crab pix up by Friday. Molds seem to be holding up well and should hit the half-way casting point by the end of the week. Quote
