Rodmart´s and Art2 models Beta Website...

http://www.art2models.cl

I just finally saw this! Man, I am jealous of everything! Your X-Wing, the cleanliness of your build, the quality of your pictures, the website...everything!

*Lowers head in shame and sets fire to closet full of models*

If you guys ever decide to sell the fuselage or gun building instructions alone later on down the road, please lmk.

Hi everyone.
Sorry for the delay in the updates.

Here are the pics of the first run of casts of our X-Wing.
As you can see in the pics we are still waiting for more molds to
be ready so the kits are missing those parts.

We were able to casts these parts with almost no bubbles.
The ones that randomly appear can easily be repaired with putty.
If that's not the case we dismiss that cast.

For all of you who have asked me for a price for this kit we will release it as soon as we know how much resin we use in a complete kit, the cost of a good box and for the different variants of the kit, that is: with the aluminium armature and other special features we want to offer.
We ask you please to be patient with us, we are working as hard and as fast as we can and we will do everything we can to have a kit for all of the people interested in it, of course this may take time because we need to ensure the quality of every kit we cast.
This is a dream for us too and we also just can't wait to build and paint one ourselves

I hope you enjoy the pics.

Thanks Rayp22, we don't know what happend to that mold but it was an expensive one
The new one is ready tomorrow, wish us luck mate

Rodmart - that fourth image down, the profile shot, is the one I've been waiting to see. Don't know if you ever saw my V3 build but I was forever going on about the V3 fuse being too stubby in the profile view to truly work as a hero, which are all long, thin suckers in profile, it seems to me. I'm thrilled to see your version corrects this, and provides a good slender profile. You're a dream come true! But come too late for me, sadly. Think I'd go mad if I found myself ordering a 3rd SS X. But congratulations anyway.

Oh, in that same photo - a word to the wise, if I may make so bold - I think I'd try and get the lower wings on at a slightly lower position if it were mine... (you can trust me, I got praised for my wing angle by no less than RPF X-wing gods, Moffeaton and Beaz, lol - and me just a noob...) but obviously it's just my 2 cents!

Very very very very very very very very very very NICE

All I can say is WOW!!! and that I want one very very much, hopefully I have the cash when this kit comes out, Still have 4 things on my work bench to complete but I do see some potentialy vacant space, "move over SS TIE" Great work guys its looking great.

Fantastic kit!
I actually stumbled upon this while looking for info on a Fine Molds kit!
LOL.

I am guessing this will cost a little more, but looks to be worth it.
I am ready to buy my own brass or get it from MicDavis (Thanks for sourcing that!)



I'll even take one of the ytest ones that has that screwed up lower wing angle...

Holy smokes batman...

Really stunning work!

This is what I like to see when a new kit is announced. *Actual* resin parts!

Love it! Want it!

:-D

Holy wallet emptier Batman! Nice work all around indeed.

Hi! Rodmart!

Fascinate!
Do you have the plan to sell a kit of the landing version in the future?
Anyway, I wanna get ONE!

Hi, can only agree with all that's been said before praise wise, however, I appreciate you're not wanting to commit to a final price yet, clearly this won't be a cheap kit but for us mere mortals who are on a meager to low income could you please give either a ballpark or an in-between estimate to give us a chance to save up, some, like me will have international postage to add too, unless this will be available indefinately in unlimited numbers.

Same here have let a few good deals go on other X wings while waiting to see if this one will be affordable for me.

Hi everyone.


We are really sorry to have kept you waiting all this time.
I promise to answer every MP and mail as soon as I have some time for it.
We have been working full throtle to have our kit ready for sale and I am glad to anounce that we are ready.

The price for our kit will be U$ 750.00 plus shipping of choice. We will be giving the shipping prices of different couriers this week.

We will start shipping during the last days of September to the first 10 buyers.
We will contact the first 10 people that asked for the kit, but do not worry we will do everything possible to cast kits for everyone interested on it, you'll just have to wait a little longer, patience young Skywalker.

And now for the fun part. Roback and I build and painted two of our kits to test everything was working fine and... because we were dying to!!
I painted Red 5 and Roback Red 4.
Our friend and proffessional photographer Erick Van Camps took the pictures of both ships and I edited the pics in Photoshop.

Here we go!:

YES!!!

Damn fine all around!

As for the kit, bit out of my price range. Good luck to those who have the coinage and I look forward to your build diaries!!

ALWAYS look forward to X-wing build diaries!

Oops.

Now glad I have a Salzo V2 and two V3s in the stash. I didn't think this would be cheap, but I also didn't think it would hurt so much. I'm just going to admire the builds as I see them.

I was thinking $600. Shame is out of my price range right now, maybe next year

Good luck with your sales!

Does that quoted price include an armature?

Helluva nice model!

That looks absolutely amazing. I'm gonna start shaking a few people down to get the money together for this one.

As mentioned above... I assume it includes the armature for this price?
