ce25254 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 It would be so great to see this standing up next to the Gnerl, Reguld, Glaug, Quamzin, as well as the Zentradi warrior. Quote
derex3592 Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Didn't grab this kit, but WOW! amazing work John! Details on this kit are just like...wooow... Quote
captain america Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 No pilot figure with the kit, maybe an aftermarket accessory later on. In the meantime, molds are prepped and poured: 5 down, 3 to go. Quote
shdwfx2000 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Cap, Should an extra one of these just appear, i'll take it off your hands Quote
captain america Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Hey guys!! Well the molds are done, all 9 of them! I will have to mold one complete model in two shots, as I won't be able to pour the almost 800ml all at once before it will start to cure. That being said, the parts came out excellent as always. Now for the "pay me" part. Based on my calculations, there is the $155 CAD outstanding balance on the kits as well as the shipping fees which are as follows: $30.00 CAD up to 2 kits for USA/Canada $72.00 CAD for international shipping. Also very important: please add an extra 5% to the total to cover transaction fees if there are any. Generally PP will let you know before you send if there are fees and ask you if you will pay or make the recipient pay. I will commence casting on Monday once I test and group the molds for optimum casting. For anything else, my office (PM box) is always open Edited May 7, 2015 by captain america Quote
Ghadrack Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Payment Sent, and apparently my math skills are lacking, please don't take the 3ish CAD tip as an insult Quote
captain america Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 Hi guys, casting has begun in earnest and going a little smoother than I thought it would, even though it's a slow process. I probably won't have an update until this time next week due to some scheduling conflicts. Over and out! Quote
captain america Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 Hi guys. Just wanted to let you all know that casting is going quite well and I'm almost at the half-way point. Did you ever wonder what happens to all the sprues needed to cast resin models? They end up on my floor, and then in the trash. Quote
cool8or Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 When you post that pictures, you're like Willy Wonka to me! Quote
sbantonelli Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Yes, and we are holding golden tickets! I can't wait. Quote
big F Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Hi guys. Just wanted to let you all know that casting is going quite well and I'm almost at the half-way point. Did you ever wonder what happens to all the sprues needed to cast resin models? They end up on my floor, and then in the trash. You need a blender to mulch them all and then you could add them as filler to the resin for bulky bits not that 800ml shots are not bulky Or you could make tarmac with them. Quote
wwwmwww Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Payment sent. First time checking posts in several weeks. It would be nice to get a PM or email about such things. Not trying to be late but real life tends to get in the way of keeping up with posts rather frequently these days. Carl Quote
captain america Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 Sooo, quick update: less than 10 kits left to cast and I open up a new liquid resin kit and start pouring as per usual... But it's a bad batch of resin! The good news and the bad news: half my molds were ruined by the defective resin... Going to contact the manufacturer tomorrow. 2/3 of the run is cast and done, but now I have to replace the trashed molds and so the last third will be delayed at least a week. Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. Quote
Jefuemon Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Well, I honestly won't start building mine for a few years, so I've got no problem waiting on the delayed run. Quote
captain america Posted May 29, 2015 Author Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Hi guys. Just wanted to let you know that damage-control has been implemented and the damaged molds have been re-done; I will resume casting on Monday. I also worked on my own kit and photographed plates for the destructions. Here's a sample of what you'll be getting. Edited May 30, 2015 by captain america Quote
vincemoto7 Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 WOW, awesome job!!! Wish I went in on this when I had the chance... I hate myself... Quote
cool8or Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I'm so happy to see the BEST N-Ger ever made!! And I'm afraid that this will be the only version that make justice to this beautiful mecha. Now I only need to have it in my hands!! Quote
