captain america Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Hi guys! As promised, I am starting a thread to gauge interest in a 1/48 Mospeada Legioss soldier mode (hereinafter referred to as Buster: Henshin Robo) resin model to accompany the Crabb army which I made a little while ago. I would also make all three head variations: Blue, Green and Redd to allow for more versatility in the collection. Kit would be free-pose type (build it in the desired pose only) although certain joints will allow for minimal re-posing. Decals and markings: I will do the artwork, which I will then offer as open-source so that you can download and print as you see fit. This is going to be quite a bit more of an undertaking than most of my previous models, simply by virtue of its geometric complexity so you'd be looking at a $265 Canadian price-point (about $218 US) plus shipping. I would need a minimum of 30 orders to get the ball rolling so ask yourselves: is Buster right for YOU? Quote
Tober Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I'm down for 1 this time (so far). Capt, how are you intending to approach this? Will it look like your 1/32 kit? Quote
captain america Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 I'm down for 1 this time (so far). Capt, how are you intending to approach this? Will it look like your 1/32 kit? Very good question, and the answer is yes: my intent was to scale-down the proportions of my 1/32 model. That also means that it will be a bigger kit than average since the cockpit was designed around a real human being and not a 4 foot tall anime character, so 22-23cm in stead of the 18.5-19cm of the old Imai kit. There will be no actual cockpit in the kit though, just to clarify. Quote
DarrinG Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Want 3, can only afford 1. Put me down for 1 . . . Quote
captain america Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 I will let this run until the 20th, hopefully we will hit the minimum requirement by then. Quote
Hoptimus Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 More interested in a real nice fighter mode but I may bite... Quote
Smut Peddler Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Already at 11. I'd want 3, but I can't afford that. Eventhough I'm sure they are worth their asking price, if not more. I've got to pass on this one, but not because I want to :/ Quote
captain america Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 In so much as this project is tanking, I will start a 1/72 Nousjadeul Ger thread in the Workshop section for those who are interested. Quote
cool8or Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I really think that our crabb collection is not complete without a Legioss soldier. I hope this project see the light someday. Edited February 17, 2015 by cool8or Quote
Hoptimus Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I think the title is also confusing prospective would be buyers..so I am changing it to see if that helps. Quote
jardann Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I am missing these threads by the Captain. Don't normally check the Think Tank section. I guess I have to change that. I would probably be in for one of these, but can't do the NGer at the same time. I signed up for one of the NGer kits, but would love to revisit this idea sometime down the road Cap! Quote
cool8or Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I read in the Mospeada thread that Captain will wait to see what happen with the new Tonamy's Legioss, so may be we'll have a second chance with this kit in the future. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 The toynami Legioss tanked so there's still hope for John's Legioss!!! Quote
Ghadrack Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Jeepers I gotta find time to keep up with the boards more. Stupid work. I never saw this thread. I'd be in for one of each (3). I'd potentially go for two of each (6) if this started looking realistic and would help. Edited June 26, 2015 by Ghadrack Quote
cool8or Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I count 17 then? Still far from the 30 order asked... Quote
Ghadrack Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) And um.... not to be a clown but if you ever got the bug to do a not miniscule scale ( at least 6 inches standing)Ride Armor / cyclone kit in a Yellow Dancer / Bladed and Rook / heavy weapon variation. No transformation necessary, fixed posed would br fine. I could find some significant fun money to spend on those. Edited June 26, 2015 by Ghadrack Quote
DarrinG Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Still down for 1 -- others need to join up here tho . . . Quote
cool8or Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Ancient thread, guys. So... are you thinking in another project, Cap? Quote
Ghadrack Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Yeah? I gotta find a way to get emails forwarded to me whenever the Capn or mslz22 posts on the forum (stalker mode) so I know when these pop up. I'm always in to support these but my awful job has me working 10 plus hours a day and often weekends so I can't keep up with the forums I frequent. Quote
DarrinG Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Hey - heyyyy ! Is Cap thinking about a 1/48th Legioss Soldier?!?? : p Quote
captain america Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 The thread dates back to February. I'll give it one last go in August by putting the word out. Quote
