Dax415 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Update: December 21 The first batch of kits will be ready for shipment next week! A tad earlier than expected but that's great for us right? Here's how things will work, final payment of $85 per kit goes directly to me, then your shipping payment goes directly to Andy who will pack and ship your kit directly to you. If you have any questions feel free to let us know Update: Ok the $70 part of the payment will be due this week, the sooner the better. It goes directly to the caster to get started on the project itself. Will be completed approx 2 months from now, around early to mid Jan. If you have questions feel free to ask Hey guys, been talking to Andy about doing another run of this kit. First to ask permission and get him involved, so everything is in the clear. In order to get things rolling we would need interest in 20 kits. I will ask Andy if he still has the pics of it or if someone here has pics of it, that would be great to add to the thread. Keep in mind the earliest this can get casted is about 2 months. Will be getting a cost estimate from Andy soon. So for now, anyone interested? UPDATE: August 14, 2015 Cost per kit $155 USD What you get: The kit will be supplied with a brown carton box and photocopied.instructions. Shipping stateside will be: $25 USD a kit (will ask how much if more than one kit) if outside the US, prob a little more. Interested: Dax415 x3 Spitfire_BR x1 Bolt x2 Heavy Melder x1 dbh1973 x1 THOR x1 Neptunesurvey x1 Edited December 25, 2015 by Dax415 Quote
Dax415 Posted August 8, 2015 Author Posted August 8, 2015 This is a full kit, not a add on to a existing model. Quote
chyll2 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 will wait for picture and the cost if the minimum 20 orders are met. Quote
Dax415 Posted August 8, 2015 Author Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Here are pictures of a completed kit, pretty badass in my opinion. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=28106 I believe there are a couple modifications done to it as well, but I'll have to ask Andy. Keep in mind this is a bulky kit and it weighs almost 2lbs! Edited August 8, 2015 by Dax415 Quote
Old Man Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Any option to have this fully assembled and painted? I have no skills whatsoever Quote
Dax415 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Posted August 9, 2015 Any option to have this fully assembled and painted? I have no skills whatsoever Unfortunately I'm in the same boat, you would need to commission this to someone with the skills to do it justice. There is quite a few people here with those skills and if you wanted too, could get someone here to do it. Not sure how much they would charge though. Quote
Spitfire_BR Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Oh Dear Lord, not again... Why are you making this with me ??? I'm bankruptc and you guys creating these stunning models ! And I need to buy everyone !! I hate you, from the deep of my heart, really ! And put me in the wish list, please ! Quote
Bolt Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Plenty of interest. But what's the ticket ?😅 Quote
Dax415 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 Just waiting on the caster to get back to us with a quote per kit, then I'll update you all shortly. Quote

Heavy Melder Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Ok, 14 more to go guys! BTW, payment is due when its ready to ship, correct? Quote
Dax415 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Posted August 15, 2015 BTW, payment is due when its ready to ship, correct? As a group I would like to know what you guys would like to do. Here is option 1: A down payment of $70 once all 20 kits are spoken for, then the rest due upon ready to ship. 2. Payment due upon ready to ship.. What do you guys think? Quote
Bolt Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 I'm good with the $70 down. Trust is a beautiful thing🙏 Quote
Valk009 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) The kit was featured in a local model magazine, here is the article! Edited August 16, 2015 by Valk009 Quote

Dax415 Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 im interesting on this model kit but i have some question, is it transformable?, is it a snap fit build or do i need to put some glue on it?, do i need to paint?, how big is it?, do you have more pictures?, thanks The kit is not transformable, it is made of resin, you will need to glue it, you will need to paint it, this is 1/72 scale it weighs almost 2 lbs, I do not have more pictures.

Spitfire_BR Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 2. Payment due upon ready to ship. - this option to me, only God knows when i'll have money in my wallet again... Quote
dbh1973 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Please put me down as interested. I'd love a VF-11 in Battroid and full armor. I'm also good with $70 down and the rest when ready to ship. Quote
Dax415 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 Ok 13 more to go guys! Please spread the word about the kit, this will likely be our only chance to get this kit again. Quote
Bolt Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Put me down for another one bro. 12 more to go😉 Quote
Dax415 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Alright guys keep them coming!!! 10 more to go!! Quote
Dax415 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Anyone have suggestions where else to post aside from starship modeler? We are so close yet so far away. Quote
Bolt Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Any local Cons coming up in your area? What about comic shops or gaming stores? I'm a member of The Mandalorian Mercs , they're a bunch of sci-fi geeks too, And they have off topic threads for this such thing. And they too love to spend $ on high end custom creations😉 Edited September 17, 2015 by Bolt Quote
Bolt Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I went ahead and posted it in the general goods thread on the Mandalorian Mercs. Hope that helps. Quote
Dax415 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Posted September 20, 2015 Thanks Guys, hopefully we get some more in. Quote
Dax415 Posted October 14, 2015 Author Posted October 14, 2015 Ok, Last call......for what's worth guys....I managed to secure this project to move forward approx 2 month turn around. Quote
Dax415 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 Just in case anyone wants to get on the bandwagon there are several spots open, let me know if you are interested. Quote
