tekering Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 The Eye of Sorji. The aperature's a little thinner on this one. I wanted to give her a more inquisitive stare, rather than the threatening glare of her brother's eye.

"Intergenerational scaling of mecha," eh? Sorji will be ready by Halloween; the Garmo will follow in November. Quote

derex3592 Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 @tekering ABSOLUTELY phenomenal!!! Bravo sir! Quote
captain america Posted November 8, 2023 Author Posted November 8, 2023 Just FYI, I'm offering a re-issue of the King Crab kit for anyone who wants it. Ted's photos are so good that my nostalgia circuits were reanimated! Ted, I have a photo request from a friend: could you pose the grape-flavored King Crab facing up against one of the Bio-Llloyds?

Drad Posted November 9, 2023 Posted November 9, 2023 .. these are so beautiful. Sadly I lack the skills and talent to build them. Help.😄 Quote

captain america Posted November 13, 2023 Author Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Captain's minor update: mold-prep for the Moscato Hobby 1/48 King Crab re-issue is underway. As part of my procedure, I like to go back and make little improvements to the patterns wherever I think it's necessary. Many times I'm under the gun when fabricating the originals and however detailed my models are, I realize there's always room for improvement. One such detail is the sensor eye: a part which is common to all crab models, and something I wanted to improve, so I did. The part on the left is the original eye, a hemispherical part molded translucent. The part on the right is the revised version, which will feature a separate, opaque insert with triple "cameras", as seen in the anime. The outer hemisphere will remain molded in translucent resin to facilitate lighting effects. Ted's builds inspired me to go back and raise the bar here, and there may be other little improvements as well. Pre-orders are open, just PM me if you want a kit. @tekering our mutual South African friend thanks you for your photos. Edited November 13, 2023 by captain america Quote

I wanted to one-up the old Retppu 1/48 Eager eye sensor for that extra little detail. Also, since mine is molded in separate components, it's much easier to paint and light. Quote
captain america Posted November 17, 2023 Author Posted November 17, 2023 Captain's log: Friday, November 17th. Almost a full week of mold-prep behind me, and the last molds are setting, just waiting to be opened. Everything went smoothly, and I can start the casting of the 1/48 King Crabs on Monday. You kow what? This King Crab kit is hands-down the best version of this mecha available, and I think it needs better box art, don't you? Let's see if @tekering can give me a hand.🤔💡 Quote
CoryHolmes Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 I will never not be mesmerized by the pink goo The urge to poke it would be nigh-inescapable. 🤭 Quote
