As you may remember, a few months back I had finished work on the masters for a 1/60 Locust kit.
Well finally all is well and I have 15 kits left.

I love it. but $55 is ludacris.

[kalabaddon]

not a fan but $55 is a fine price

[XphR]

You should throw another item in the photo for size referencing, perhaps a materials reference as well? Have these been assembled from kits, or pieced together from multiple kits, or have you created the parts from scratch? Will they be fully assembled or do they require pressure fitting or glues? Have they been fully painted / decaled or is this customization left to the purchaser? These things and information similar help people to purchase your items... perhaps.

You are obviously not a modeller with any scratch building or casting experience. This stuff takes real talent and time, not to mention the polyester casting resin and silicon mold materials cost a small fortune. You might try using spell-check next time you are insulting people's work to avoid making yourself look like a fool on top of being a jerk...

Ok first off have a look a previous pages
http://scott-messyde...st-is-here.html
http://scott-messyde...much-ready.html
People who blurt out questions before reading the FAQ page tick me off.
And If you need to ask any of those questions this kit is not marketed to you.
It is a resin, garage kit needing experience with the cleaning of resin, dealing with pour stubs and molds seams. Use of CA glue, primer and paints . Decals are included
And the shot with it next to the Armorcast Atlas is all the size reference those in the know need.

Very impressive! Nice work!

[Odanan]

Very impressive!

Would you consider to make the MWO mechs?

[xxx WreckinBallRaj xxx]

Nice work. The price is reasonable, despite the kids wanting cheap toys(fyi, these are not toys, they are collectable items such as trophies). What I'd more like to see however are figures mirroring MechWarrior Online as accurately as possible. If you crafted the specific Mechs in this game and used the appearance in the game as well, as well as you could, you'd probably be loved by the players of this game.(And become extremely overworked trying to keep up)

Thanx guys, Id love to do some builds based on the MWO designs and one day I will. But I keep hoping I'll hear the guys at Piranha announce a partnership with McFarlane Toys or Wave models or something so I dont have to.
Plus, I dont want to step on their toes.

[Kurayami]

That is very impressive o_O. i'm really looking forward to the day when you will make some MWO mechs (or MadCat mk III)

or the day Piranha miraculously announce a partnership with kotobukiya.

A bit pretentious... was the last part so hard to print without the first part, see how much better that looks? Its helpful as well with out being offensive. Some people are fans of trying new things and could develop ample talent without knowing an inane amount of background on a subject. You could chase off potential buyers and even habitual mech builders with such an unprofessional approach. ...on top of that I was just trying to be helpful..

Well at the moment I have no problem chasing you off.

[Bryan Kerensky]

Fantastic work! Although I am no fan of the Locust I looked through some of your other work and I must say I am interested in some of them. Do you still have kits for the Mad Dog (Vulture)?

[XphR]

lol I dont chase off. But I do forget forums for months on end.

At the moment I only have the the Armorcast original Vulture.
But a version 2 MadDog from the video game may make an appearance some day.

your awesome

*you're

Just kidding. And sorry for being such a grinch to begin with...

[FelixTheCrazy]

I live on a very tight budget at the moment, and I didn't flinch one bit at the cost of having my single favorite mech. I am crazy excited to get my hands on it.

Just checked the mailbox and it's not here yet...LOL

[Davion5150]

Not a mech I would want. But very good job on the modeling.
