    Re: Our new vinyl baby

    Thanks guys, I just got the resin proto from the factory a couple o days ago and will be taking pics to put up on our website.

    Sanjeev, you know you'll be the first to know when the GID gets done ;)

    Prometheum5, we still got some "SWAMP" CRZs man, go git one dude! :D

    Klim, I'm always up to something no good right? :twisted:

    Kirkland, Bert, dood this thing is rockin huge BUT still not bigger than CRZ when it becomes vinyl.

    G Goblin, the tracks are one of my fave detail on PA and the sculptor did an outstanding job. Even the bottom of the feet has tracks!

    redhanded, midnight26man, thanks, the fist actually turned out bigger than CRZ's and the jumpack was tricky but we managed to pull it of and retain my original design.

    Sorry for not replying sooner. I'm so swamped with work right now i don't even know sometimes if it's night or day :shock:

    Feels good tho...updates as soon as I get em. Thanks again fellas.

    Re: Our new vinyl baby

    Are these going to be in the same colors as the CRZ?
    I don't have one, but would like to get my hands on a pair in the same color.

    Awesome. I love the treads, and I really, really love the jump pack. The perforations/indentations look amazing! Great job all around, can't wait to see the vinyl!

    Re: Our new vinyl baby

    The colorways that the Combat R Zero where done in are actually colors that has something to do with the background story. I'm working on a comic book about our robots called "GO-BOLTS" (working title) right now. The Plutonium colorway was from the story. When a GO-BOLT robot is made/repaired it uses a special metal called "infinity ore" as armor. The ore comes from space and ends up on earth as a meteor. Needless to say
    it's rare. It is nearly indestructible and even in molten lava it still remains in solid form. Only a Go-Bolt can go in the lava and "magma dive" to retrieve it when they're detected. If and when its retrieved (within a time limit or else the pilot's special suit fails) they surface and the Go-Bolt robot for a short time changes color into the Plutonium colors that you see until it cools. So if we do ANY of our robots as a GID it will be in a Plutonium colorway. So yep, If Panzer Ace came in GID it will match the Combat R Zero's "Plutonium" color scheme.

    Thanks Glenn. LOVE the new avatar BTW.

    Hopefully 250 people will feel the same, lol ;)

    Yeah man, I just got the resin proto and they look even more mind blowing. The treads go all the way at the bottom of the feet! Also doing a MUCH needed update on the website. I'll give you guys a heads up incase you're interested.

    Re: Our new vinyl baby

    Hey Guys, Got some shots of the new bot from the factory. The green stuff is a type of jewelers wax the factory is gonna use to make the metal roto molds. The person taking the pic got the lower body turned backwards so it's kinda weird, lol. Gettin really excited, got big plans on the paint ap and we hope it all works out. Anyways, do enjoy the production pics. :D

    BTW flickr doesnt provide the urls for the larger pictures. Is it just me or is this they way it is now? :?

    If it's not your flickr, the owner might have it disabled....but if you can download the pic, then do that and upload it to your flickr, and do what RC mentioned.

    I think the wax molding process makes a pretty nice aged colorway

    Re: Panzer Ace updates

    Thanks kirk, just one colorway planned so far. We are stepping things up a bit on this one tho with an all metallic paint ap and maybe some shading effect as well. I'm waiting to see the painted sample to decide if I'll do the shading on the final version tho. The goal is to make it look like a diecast metal robot but in vinyl.

    Price is still up in the air but we are working on a price that includes worldwide shipping.
