EXO Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 (edited) OK... I mess with my 1:48s a lot and I'm missing some of my missiles, which is a bit distracting to an otherwise beautiful toy. So in my quest to make sure Rohby doesn't have life I had him recast it for me. Then I thought this would be perfect for the ones I haven't opened so I can keep my FPs as mint as possible. So is anyone else interested? For anyone wondering what the quality is, check out the TV hand recast thread. Edited March 18, 2004 by >EXO< Quote
Mechamaniac Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 Can he make the holes a bit smaller on the single missiles that go in the fronts so they will stay on the goddamn tab inside the pack ? IMHO, that little tidbit screws up an otherwise perfect toy. Quote
EXO Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 You're right! Those are the ones I'm missing! Curse you Yamato for giving me a mixed blessing!!! I'm sorry Yamato... I'll never raise my voice at you again... Quote
Roy's Blues Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 Please, count me in for 5 sets. Thanks! Quote
magicsp00n Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 I was actually just thinking of doing a re-cast myself, but if somebody else is on it, count me in for a set. Quote
Cdr Fokker Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 Yeah, I'd like a set as well... lost a few of my missiles early on Quote
Golden Arms Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 I don't mean to sidetrack the thread, but I have a suggestion. I use wall putty to keep those and other Yamato accessories in place when they don't fit so well. Quote
Neova Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 I have a couple of questions: Will the re-cast weigh more than the originals? I worry about the extra weight in Battroid mode , placing more stress on the backpack, and having the Valkyrie tilt backwards. Will the re-casts eventually "wear" creating fine dust particles in the missile packs? Can we get a re-cast set in some kind of plastic such as an epoxy mix? I don't think you can tint that and will require painting. Depending on the answers, I might be interested. Quote
EXO Posted March 19, 2004 Author Posted March 19, 2004 Hey Neova, This will be done in the same resin that Rohby has used with the JM backups, sharpener pilots and the TV hand recasts, I believe is the Smooth-Cast 310. As for the weight I think the weight difference will be a mere fraction of an ounce and wouldn't weigh the FP anymore. Though I can't be sure. I have a package scale at work and maybe I can take it there one of these days and compare. I don't see any foreseeable dust paricles coming from the missiles. I guess it all depends on how many times you remove and replace the missiles on your 1/48, and I think it would have to be a ridiculous amount of times before you see such effect. My suggestion would be to wait and see what the other members say about the recasts before ordering it. Hope that answers your questions. Quote
Spiff Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 Rediculous the removing times must be for any type of wear. Resin will weigh same or less as the original. Resin is essentially a plastic. Like anything else it would wear with enough use. Quote
Rohby Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 (edited) Sorry for the delay on this. I finally got to it. Just send a PM to me if you're interested. Here's a photo of the missles. Keep in mind it's only half of them since there's a set for the left and right Fast packs. In other words, you'll get x2 of what you see below for a full set. Edited April 15, 2004 by Rohby Quote
UN Spacy Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 Sorry to go off topic....but has anyone used their micro missles in a diorama? I'm sure there are other uses besides keeping them stationary (inside the Fast Pack missile compartments). Quote

Sorry, forgot the pricing: it'll be 10 bucks for the full set free shipping: 8 single missiles 16 double missiles X 2 Edited April 15, 2004 by Rohby Quote
bigkid24 Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 To be a Rohby completist I think I'll need a set so I can have everything that you've recasted here on MW. Quote
Eternal_D Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 haha rhoby's got fans! you need to TM your stuff rhoby. Quote
Rohby Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 (edited) I'll gladly send a set your way, bigkid24 Just pm me or address again. Oh and uh... Eternal_D's got your tab on this one Edited April 16, 2004 by Rohby Quote
