coronadlux Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Finally home after a work trip. Glad to see my 2 boxes arrived safe and sound. Quote
captain america Posted August 28, 2017 Author Posted August 28, 2017 Hi guys, I imagine that most of you have gotten your King Crabs by now. I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that the next kit to be offered will be the Blueberry Crab (Gosu doppleganger) in September. Stay tuned! Quote

tekering Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Preliminary color check... Not sure about the orange. Quote
derex3592 Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) nailed it on the purple/pink. I agree, orange doesn't quite pop enough, looks a little to yellow. Looking forward to seeing the next update! Edited September 3, 2017 by derex3592 Quote

Looking forward to seeing the next update! Agreed, I think the orange needs a bit more red. Same for the pink, I think. I'm really, REALLY looking forward to see how these babies turn-out! Quote
tekering Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think I've found a much more accurate orange now: Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 This new orange is perfect!!! Quote
tekering Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 I have more reference material to share, especially for those of you who ordered multiple sets. You might be interested in making a mass-production unit, for instance: ...or perhaps even a Macross homage...? Quote
Podtastic Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 The bottom right (red) is actually a colour scheme I considered. Needs some white in the mix I think though. Quote
derex3592 Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 ....or yellow....make it a FireInvid! LISTEN TO MY SONG!!!..errr flower of life! Quote
coronadlux Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 I agree with the Captain. I REALLY want to see your build. Quote
tekering Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 I won't have any progress to show for the next few weeks, I'm afraid. The animatronic Yoda I'm working on has to be submitted by the end of the month to qualify for our annual modeling contest, and I don't have much time to devote to anything else...! Quote

Curious to see how it turned out. If not still WIP that is. Quote
tekering Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Sorry, my Invid projects have been temporarily shelved while I focus on displaying my collection for the local news media: It's been a very time-consuming process, as you can well imagine. Quote

locidm Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Wow! Insane collection. So this is where the awesome N-scale town diorama is housed! Very nice. Given Tekering's locale (Japan), it's interesting how much of the collection come from sources based on Hollywood productions (Star Wars, Star Trek, terminator, iron man, avengers, etc.), and relatively small percentage based on Japanese materials (Macross/Robotech and Godzillas). There are nice Kaijus but no soul of chogokin (except perhaps the ships?) and super robots. The TF collection seems to be most prominent given it's sort of both Japanese and American. Definitely awesome setup. Two/three rooms of just toy displays. I wish I have room to display half my collection! The media will have a jaw dropping day! Quote

Actually, I've got hundreds of anime figures still in storage -- Sailor Moon, To-Heart, Haruhi, Hatsune Miku, K-On!, and less innocent stuff -- that must safely remain out of the public eye. A significant part of my business is teaching elementary school girls, see, so I have to be concerned with my professional image. Even the more sexualized Evangelion or Ghost in the Shell figures remain in the closet (along with a hundred Mobile Suits I just haven't found space to display). Not that it mattered, really, given how totally clueless the reporter was. He'd never seen Star Wars, never even heard of Macross, and standing before my wall of Transformers -- mostly G1, Animated, or movieverse characters -- he turned to me and asked "Are these all Gundams?"

What a waste! You’d think they’d send someone with at least some knowledge on the subject matter to do the interview! The reporter probably didn’t appreciate what she was seeing, at all. I hear you about the figures. I got questioned once over a very innocent looking Minmay figure fully clothed in her signature DYRL pose. You’re wise to do what you did. Quote

tekering Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 Having finally found the motivation to complete my Ghosu, painting is almost finished... Quote
derex3592 Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 @tekering - Amazing detail in the sensor eye there! I did good to paint one black stripe evenly on the clear blue part! Question....were you able to find or fashion a pilot figure? Someone here was going to make some resin or 3D prints years ago for me, but it fell through. So even though my cockpit was fully detailed and painted, and my canopy was darkened with Tamiya Smoke, I had to go no pilot... Quote

That's a technique I picked up making little Moderoid Obsolete exoframes. Drill 1mm holes, and fill them in with little drops of super-glossy topcoat. ☺️ 14 hours ago, derex3592 said: were you able to find or fashion a pilot figure? I fully intend to kitbash one... Quote
tekering Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 One down, one to Gosu. 😉 Ready for the pic dump? 😅 Articulation is somewhat limited, but I wanted a little playability: ...and while he can assume a flight pose, I haven't come up with a stand to support him. I did install LEDs in the flight pack, however. And, since scale is important: Our beloved Sentinels are undersized, of course, but Moscato's 1:48 kits scale great with Evolution Toys. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Wow!!! Turned out great!!! Can't wait for the other Gosu. Quote
