Got my second order in tonight. Everything is cast perfectly. Whatever flash there is is minimal, details are sharp. I'm almost ashamed to use these on Nichimo mecha... but I am not purchase a fridge on legs, out of the question!

Not everyone can attend, but you can still get the same deal.

I recently bought a bunch of parts and a light bulb went off in my head and I came up with these.

Those look great!

That is a mighty fine idea. Consider it copied

Very innovative. A+

Hey Stanman - are those the parts labeled at 54mm parts? If yes, which are you using for the sniper drone?

Man! Those are excellent! What Paulson parts do those use?

Agreed, a breakdown of which parts are Paulson's (and of what scale) would be extremely helpful

They were all mech parts, tech shields for the body. A mech rifle for the left most, missile launcher for the middle and a mech head for the right. They all needed a bit of trimming to fit but it was easy since they are resin.

The light grey parts are Mecha parts by Paulson, the dark grey parts plastic GW bitz.

Paulson may want to consider sculpting a few antenna then (as that's all that's GW's), and then selling them as Drone stand ins.

Not a bad idea. Paulson's stuff is so universally great/better that the more stuff he makes available the better.

Personally, I've actually put a halt on my army building specifically to wait for various mecha parts like rifle-wielding arms and stuff like that. When it comes to 54mm mecha stuff, really can't do much better than Paulson's bits!

I'm not suggesting he sculpt an exact copy of the GW antenna and label it 'Tau drone'. That would indeed be silly. I presumed that as a given.

If a 'sensor head' should happen to be sculpted that when combined with the other bits makes a 'levitating servant robot', why, I see no problem with that.

Ya I have to say the missile pods look great on the new broadside as well. Great idea on the drones.

Lol, I take a weekend off and my thread lights up.

First Stanman & Mad Pat thanks for posting I always enjoy seeing various conversions and uses that people come up with. The shield modifications are creative and not something I would have expected, being that when I designed the shields I had in mind that they'd be used as shields. I can't endorse the use of my parts with other 3rd party models, but you guys are always free to do whatever you want with them.

This thread has already ventured quite far off course so lets go back to discussion pertaining to new releases

Speaking of which I've sent out a new batch of heads to the printer which I'm hoping to have back by mid May.

The new "Glass visor" heads?! color me eager for them to hit the store!

Also that 3d mecha model looks slick. It looks like the torso swivels. Are the arms in Ball joints, or simply connected flatly. I could see that serving in my great good. I'm still vying for mecha feet/calves that look more cloven/thick and a hint less chicken feet. You are the man to do it!

I've gotten a lot of comments on how people are using some of the weapon parts to make bodies for fleet scale space ships, figured I'd help make the conversions a bit easier. Here's a take on some heavy laser frigates which can also double as some oversized mecha guns.

These are currently at the printer along with the visored mech heads, which leaves me a bit stretched on funds. I've had a really rough month with bills and covering all the preparation stuff for the mecha front KS so I'm going to holding a sale.

20% off everything until I can sell enough to cover the printing costs of these models and the mecha front test piece. Once I have those covered the sales ends. So it may last through the end of the month or it could be done in 3days, if there's something you need don't procrastinate. Enter the word sale in the discount code section when checking out and it'll take 20% off the order.

Very nice

Quick question: would those big mecha guns fit a 1/44 Gundam?

I'm liking the look of a lot of these, but I'm hesitant to buy them unless I can bash them into a GD.

Here's some of my parts vs a 1/144 scale gundam model.





I have a few more pics and additional shots against some of the 1/200 actions figures here http://s661.photobucket.com/user/paulsongames/library/scale%20shots

The mech rifles are on the small side for 1/144 scale, but the rest work fairly well. Gundam rifles are always HUGE so even if it were an ok fit it's seem small due to how large the GD hand weapons are.

The weapons shown on the renders immediately above this post will be about 20% longer than the current lasers shown in the gundam reference pic. (Same barrel diameter though)

I've bought from Paulson twice now, and I can vouch for the quality and good looks of the parts. Especially the missile pods, the shield parts and those fething huge guns.

I hate to be the guy to ask, but would those frigates be viable underneath your shields as an armed UFO type model? They look fantastic, especially compared to the alternative.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Additionally, do you have an estimated release date on those?

I'm not sure the Javelin is the best choice of model for a size comparison. The Victory era Gundam kits are some of the smallest 1/144 Gundam kits out there. The weapons look like they might be a little undersized for the average MS. I think I'd be a bit more curious to see them with a 1/48 VOTOMS figure.

Any word on those Frigates? We're very much looking forward to that release.

I wanted to share my mods with Paulsons bits. Very pleased.

That looks really good! Nice airbrushing, too

Can someone finally tell me how tall the Riptide is?

about 6 inches tall, it can range between 5.5 and 6.5 inches
