Go for it. Those parts and the pissing around it would take me to get them/cut them/build it would be far more expensive.

I agree, an internal armature is a must with something this size. If we don't get it with the kit, it will be a pain in the rump to make it ourselves.

I wish I had your money :lol
I was just putting out an option though. For me it would not be too much of a painful expereince if templates were provided for the cutting and alignment pionts in the casting were present - but I have a pretty decent supply of tools and space in my shop that not everyone has so I completely understand wanting an armature of some kind with the kit itself - like I said - its all good

I'm sure if it involves more money, that Randy will make it optional.

New pics up of the cut up body...

I agree it is a sad sight to see after seeing it almost together... Also the final price tag has been mentioned... Ouch...
On the happy side of this it means he should be almost ready to start makign up kits... just a few more molds :cool
I just hope that putting it back together is pretty straight forward. It looks like it but I have a sneaking suspision that puttying the seam lines is gonna make me nuts... I HATE puttying seems... But they can not be avoided sometimes.

No promises,...Randy said that molding should be done by the middle of next week.
It will take some tweaking after that to get the kit all sorted out,..but I am thinking shipping should start within two weeks,...again,..dont hold me to that.
We are very close though.

sorry but it's at the beginning of january i had forgotten to specify :confused
Has anyone else noticed that Randy rarely posts pics of "finished" sections. I think he does it just to torture us - he gives us enough pics of in progress areas to drive us into frezy - btu never a totally copmplete area - until he finishes and makes a build for beauty shots... I'm not really copleining - he takes a lot of pics which I really appreciate but I did notice this trend... I suppose it mkes the final pics of the completed kit That much more impressive since we've never really seen it all together before. Sneaky...:lol

Any updates on the state of mold making etc. Just really curious. Also Did Randy get the little package I sent him?

Just conversed with Randy over several emails last evening........he says he's almost completely finished with the moulding........woo hoo!!!! He's now gonna put one kit together out of the moulds for the CD to be included and then he'll start pumping these things out. So that sounds like really great progress for sure.

Will do, to be honest it's hit and miss with
Randy........he's been in between computers as of late and I just lucked up last night and caught him when he had time to email.....LOL. It usually takes days to hear from him.
