mslz22 Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 So here is my first dip in the pond so to speak with hiring an outside artist to do a full 3D work up of a subject. I have used 3d artist before for bits and pieces on projects, but this is the first time i have paid someone to do the whole thing. This is the very, very first blocky rough in that i got from him. Don't let the roughness be any indication of the potential of this, the artist that i hired has done work for real collectible companies and this is just the first rough in. I will give him credit when i get the OK from him, not sure if he wants his name out there attached to this yet. Once it gets more and more refined i will be happy to pass along any feedback you guys have until it's where it needs to be. Just be aware that the first few steps will continue to be "rough" When done this will be 3d printed in both 1/72nd and 1/48 scale to be "patterns" if you know what i mean. Hopefully this will work out, like i said it's a bit weird because it's my first time trying something like this, and i hope that it's something you guys will like. I will post any updates that he sends me here. He hopes to be done in a month or so. thanks mike Quote
Smut Peddler Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 I'm in for the 1/48's. Just don't know how many until I know the damage 😉 Quote
vincemoto7 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Taking into consideration your past projects I'm sure this one will turn out just as awesome, if not more so. I'd be interested in a 1/48. Quote
GMK Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) 1/72! Excellent. Maybe throw in a TV VF-1A head so that we can do a Mav v. Millia using the Hasegawa kit? Edited May 17, 2015 by GMK Quote
ce25254 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I could be interested in 1/72 since I'm nearly done with a VF-1S Battroid from the DYRL Max vs Millia showdown. Quote
coronadlux Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 1/72 for me since I have no room for anything bigger. Quote
mslz22 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 the 72nd will get printed first, I just talked with the guy (and sent him his 2nd payment installment!) and he should have an update shortly after Wonderfest. thanks mike Quote

GMK Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Not to be impatient, but is it 'shortly after Wonderfest' yet? Quote
neko_fr Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Hi! I'm interested in the 72 version I'm eager to see more :-) Quote
mslz22 Posted June 13, 2015 Author Posted June 13, 2015 I'll be touching base with him sometime this week, hopefully... Quote
Heavy Melder Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 interested perhaps in a 1/48. But I'd like to know the cost. Quote
Ghadrack Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I generally think biggest = bestest I'm pretty interested in the 48 scale but a nice 72 scale would be pretty awesome too. Quote
mslz22 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Posted July 2, 2015 Just spoke with the 3D artist, he had to move recently and it took him a bit longer to set up his new office than expected. These things happen right? So he is on a large job for a big company this next 2 weeks then he will be back on this for me. I am really looking forward to this as much as anyone, so will update as soon as i can. thanks mike Quote
Smut Peddler Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Mike, do you have any more of the 1/48 Regult kits you made ? The one Exo built me was destroyed during shipping. Quote
mslz22 Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 Yep, i'll PM you.... Mike, do you have any more of the 1/48 Regult kits you made ? The one Exo built me was destroyed during shipping. Quote
tdo7623 Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Yep, i'll PM you.... Mike, If you are still selling the 1/48 Regult, I, too, would love to purchase one of these kits from you. Quote
mslz22 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 Yep, i just made some new molds for stuff i needed. Also upgraded a few parts in anticipation of doing the Scout someday, hopefully by Nov., but time always seems to get away from me. In the meantime the standard regult pod molds in 1/48 are up and running again, so PM me if you want one. mike Mike, If you are still selling the 1/48 Regult, I, too, would love to purchase one of these kits from you.

mslz22 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 Got a call from the 3d artist yesterday, his big job if finally done (for a big company!) and he expects to make some serious progress on this over the next 2 weeks. I am currently on a big project but hope to fit in the 1/72nd Q by end of Nov. I will post screen shots as he sends them to me. mike Quote
GMK Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 w00t! Most excellent. When do I cash you up? Quote
mslz22 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 Not until it's all done and molded up. Quote
modelglue Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Count me in for a 72nd kit. Be great to finally have one! Quote
mslz22 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Posted October 25, 2015 He has been working on it, he said a week or so for an update that is pretty enough to post here. He is making some good progress. thanks mike Quote
