Eastern Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Da*n! It was awesome!! When she performed steep ascend with barrel roll and then a combat turn, it was absolutely stunning! Great model with great capabilities! A great deal of research, patience, will, skill and talent! Thanks for sharing, it was a real pleasure watching the video! Cheers! Alexander.

richter111 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 That is what a RC model would look like if Zacto Man built it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 That is what a RC model would look like if Zacto Man built it! I agree! wow that's absolutely amazing! what an incredible amount of work! is anyone able to guess what would be a good offer for that marvel? (since it's for sale... and he's asking for good offer) i guess the shipping to canada would be expensive too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 That is one OUTSTANDING build!!!! That is great. I wish movie companies would use more of these and less CG for some of thier effects. They each have thier place...but they each have their weaknesses. I wish i had the money to buy that Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sharkey Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 incrediable .. I find it hard enough to finish a 1/48 su-27.. I wonder how many hours this took? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevan Vogler Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Would 5000 be enough? I'm tempted to do an offer... That would be an insult if I look at how much time and work he sank into that, likely material costs and assume that he would not only like to break even, but make some degree of profit from the sale. Consider also that he's including radio gear and certification in the transaction and it looks like a nice package. I highly doubt he would break even on 5000 for that thing. That is a model of a very elite level, RC or not, somewhere between 8,000 and 10,000 would not be unreasonable if he actually wanted to make a profit and respected and valued his abilities asa craftsman enough to not shoot himself in the foot by underpricing it. I don't know about pricing for RC models, but I worked in graphic design for eight years and saw a lot of promising young designers destroy their credibility and future in the business by letting "clients" who wanted something for nothing negotiate the price of the work down to near charity work levels.

Kevan Vogler Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I strongly agree... He spent years working on it. Not to mention the fact that he clad the whole master in printing plate grade aluminium. That stuff doesn't come cheap, I used to work in a print shop and I know (If you dropped a package of printing plates you'd better have had your resume/CV up to date). Then there are the obvious metal working skills needed to manipulate the metal, those skills didn't come from nowhere. He also made commentary about how expensive some of the specialist resins he used were. If my eyes didn't completely decieve me, it certainly looked like the formers in the finished model were all carbon fibre. Again, not a cheap substance. I wouldn't take less than 8000 for it if I were him and I'd have to be extremely desperate to find a buyer and get it off my hands before I'd go that low. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
