Masakari

One of my recent projects has been to rework the Masakari.  Here are pics of the original build-up.


This was never intended to be a kit and it had lots of issues.  Issues? What issues, you say.  Well...

1. Connection between legs and torso...lame
2. Cannons/PPCs...too skinny
3. Lower legs...backside too skinny
4. Arms lacked detail

So, here is a pic of the parts I am satisfied with...
1. Made the hip connection more "Daishi" style
2. Two fattened-up barrel types
3. Reworked the lower legs to have more mass
4. Complete rework of arms, upper and lower
5. Unlike the Daishi, this will have tabs at the feet/leg connection points rather than the old flat mating surface
6. Re-detailed legs so they will be a bit different from the Daishi

This might actually make a good kit someday.

Non Sequitur

It does not follow....6 months ago I said I was scaling back production yet production is back in full swing. Currently, there are 3 kits in rubber or slated to be in rubber very soon. How soon?  Within weeks. Dervish restock?  On the way. The Mauler has been commissioned.  The Thor has been commissioned.  I am currently muddling my way through an Amorcast Vulture build. Hybrid Atlas? Started yesterday...actually took a day off to work on projects. If Karma is real, I must have done something right in my past that has outweighed all my colossal screw-ups.

Pictures?  Keep them coming.  Any pics of my older kits?  Adder?  Cougar? Daishi?

Speaking of the Daishi, that is on the list of future re-releases. I came across a drawing of the Daishi from the Wizkids Hero Clix Diashi. Thoughts? I like it but the grill on the front looks like a Cylon. 
On a sad note, the Uziel is officially done.  The molds are not pulling nice casts and its just not worth re-molding at this time. 

Be careful what you wish for

So, I asked for pictures and boy...have I been receiving them. This is a Mad Cat MK II build from Brian...one of the winners in the Dervish pre-order contest.  Looks like he added some details, modified the LRMs and changed out the chin guns.  Nice paint job, too.

Awesome-sauce

Hi All!

Finally, someone took me up on my request for pics of finished builds. Geert finished up his Vulture MK II in a kick-ass Jade Falcon scheme. Enjoy the pics!
