  1. Here's a very detailed 14 inch figure of an Samurai Warrior character, from a Japanese anime series, called "Kenshin", hope you like it. Forgive the poor photography, this was taken years ago, before I had a decent Camera. Found some "In Production" shots that were a bit clearer, of this Figure project. He did turn out very well, and I wanted you to have a better look at this nicely detailed project, done several years ago.
  2. Commencing in a few weeks, my latest version of the USS VOYAGER Star Ship, from the "Star Trek:Voyager" series. This will utilize the Monogram 20 inch Voyager kit, and a whole bunch of electronic "Goodies"! This project features some new upgrades since the 2007 version was completed las year. A dual Photon Torpedo "Launch" light effect circuit will be added and be independently activated, in addition to the standard forward Tubes, above the Sensor Dish. Also, Outer Space Outfitters 3D "Interior Scene" rear illuminated inserts will be added to all Primary "Windows", to give the effect of "Looking into actual Rooms and Laboratories" for the viewer. A new Navigation and Strobe light circuit from "Space Circuits", and a custom-made Display Case and Clear Cover that encases the entire display, with a forward projecting "Control Panel" to activate the various effects. The Display Presentation Base and Cover, shown below, was made by my friend Glenn Buckner, at Last Pacific Creations. Notice that the "Sail Shaped" Support Rod Cover was exactly matched to the shape of the Secondary Hull of the Voyager! I'll be posting updates on this project for fellow IPMS members, right here!
  3. I saw "Inferno" with that "Rumble Surround" sound array in the Theater, very intense for a young pup. Then years later, the Pilot movie for "Battlestar Galactica", original series, was re-released with the "Rumble Surround" which was prety cool for the times!
  4. Mike Myers, a very talented friend of mine told me of this site, and it's chock full of great Irwin Allen information! And, a great model section, which "Jet", a very nice Webmaster, is adding me to, with her excellent graphic skills! It's got everything for the Irwin Allen fan, up-to-date info on the Stars of the Shows, a lot of great reference material on props, love that part, and bio's on all the Actors and Show's! It's a real "Baby-Boomer's" paradise, lots of good memories found there, check it out! Tell "Jet", Papa Smurf sent you. http://www.iann.net/models/index.htm
  5. Indeed! As the newly assigned moderator to this section, gosh, Mom would be proud, I really want to see your cool stuff posted! C'mon, don't be shy, post that project!
  6. I'd guesstimate 100.00 Rusty, as it's no longer available, it really depends how badly a potential buyer wants it.
  7. Here's a few cool pics from the site, just a "peek" at what's posted there!
  8. Many thanks cwentzel, nice of you to say. The layout the IPMS staff did, was just incredible! I love to build Armor, and Military Jets, and Subs, but most of my clients desire Sc-fi "Memorabillia" items. It's the "Thing" these days. I loved those SF old shows too, but have many interests. But, yes, back to the main point you address, the same techniques employed in Sci-Fi builds can be used for all sorts of themes. Imagine a large scale Soviet Fighter with "Rotating Strobe" Wing and Fuselage lighting effects, and Fiber Optic detailed controls, flashing and blinking, in the Cockpit,.....Awesome!! I've always wanted to build a big "Desert Fox" diorama with a columm of Staff Car, a couple of Armored Cars, Halftracks, and few juicy Panzers in there, with illumination details! Open Tank Hatches revealing lighted interiors. The possibilities are , well, .....endless.......that's the beauty of modeling!
  9. Hello there, nice new Forum you have here, I was on the older version, seems my prior posts are now history! I was just published in this month's IPMS Journal, the Refit on the Cover is my "Baby"! If anyone wishes to see more of this build, and a multitude of others, please visit The Kit factory website at www.simonmercs.biz and have a look around! Lots of Irwin Allen, Star Trek, Star Wars, Military, and much more. Hope you like what you see, and let me know what you thought of the models displayed there, thanks!
