Karma is Karma it will come back on you one way or the other in its own way. me I hope Karma goes after Kevin and his company with a vengeance. but that is me, I'm simple like that.

Do any of you think karma hasn't already hit Palladium? They're a joke of a company that struggles to keep the lights on, I'd say every day is misery for them.

As far as i'm concerned if the company still exists Karma has not paid them a visit.

I think we can do without the ghoulish karmic pleas and medical history discussions.

Thank you.

Welcome, Nesbet! Some really cool modeling there.

Thanks for the heads up about the acrylic rods. Can you share how you mounted them to the base, please?

Thanks Ctaylor! Sure thing. The rods were cut in the dessired lengths and then I drilled one of the points like 2~3mm. Drilled the Regults to fit the dessired position (flying up, down, forward, advancing, landing or leaping) and glued the metalic pin with CA glue. I have noy glued the Regult to the base because for.paintimg reasons. But I attached the rod to the base using plastic cement. So, for now I have bases with welded rods, which have a drilled point, with a metalic pin glued with CA and drilled Regults to fit a position. Will be glued after being primed/painted.

Don't knoe if its clear enough or not xD

Well at least he can now sue and get some money to inject into Wave 2.

Hopes rising. /s

CTaylor, here you go:


EDIT: The pic is not as sharp as I would like, but it's just a cropped part of my cellphones picture.
First I began using pins on both tips of the rods, but the pin in the base added nothing to the sturdiness of the model, because the bases are too thin.

EDIT 2: For Regults, rods and such I use Plastruct's Plastic Cement. Best plastic cement. Period.





TalonZahn, I really wish that sue could mean some progress on wave two... :(
But irony aside. Not going to happen.

That said, it does get repetitive.

"Oh man, it's cloudy out today."

"Just like the stormclouds of legal action surrounding PB".

"Err, yeah. But I did find $20 in a coat I hadn't worn since last year."

"Cool you can use it to buy a dozen RRT core boxes because nobody else is buying them and they're worthless."

"Right, thanks, sure thing. So, we gonna go see Civil War later?"

"Nah I'm just gonna do my laundry."

"... that's it?"

"Let me finish! I'm gonna do my laundry to clean up my appearance unlike PB because they're so grimy and dirty they couldn't get clean if they walked through an industrial car wash!"

"Whew, I was afraid something was wrong."

I mean, sure, we only really cross paths here and in the KS comments, but at times it seems like loathing PB making your own wave 2/future figures are the only two hobbies you seem to have. :-P

actually here and the KS comments are the only places i talk about RRT which is why. other sites and what not i talk about what is pertinent for those sites, this group is about RRT so I talk about RRT same thing with the KS forums.

Don't be ridiculous. There is always the fallback of his legal (tsunami) firm as well as a burgeoning orthopedic (mal)practice.

I think you need to do more PB kissing up to, your attempts are lacking there of, we all know you love PB with a passion and think they can do no wrong.

and just because my words have a bit more sting to them makes you all the more angry at me, nice to know I'm stirring the nest somewhere.

You got me, Rick. It is a testament to your powers of reasoning that, after several years and over 50 pages of me complaining about this kickstarter in both threads, you've come to the conclusion that I'm a deep cover fan friend plant because I don't wish a self absorbed old man bodily harm and question the curriculum of the Steinberg School of Medicine. You win, Rick. A winner is you! There.. I think that still counts as positive after about a dozen preposting edits.

warboss is a PB lackey?

That's news to me - and probably to him too!

no it just strikes me as odd how you go lambasting on me without reading what i had posted, my exact statement was "the one time my arm got broken it was set, didn't need surgery for it though, so either a drama queen or ? " which was in response to what was posted by Wayne: "Kevin was hit by a car on Sunday. He’s ok, mostly, but his right arm was broken pretty badly. He had surgery yesterday, and things went well, so hopefully he’ll be back to work soon."

which his statement said only a badly broken arm, not a compound fracture, or anything else serious, which engendered my response of either Drama Queen or? you notice the or? part at the end there? it indicates maybe something we were not told or such, but then again your comprehension is in line with Kevin's non-existent.

but then it begs the question why pounce on me? others here said far worse then me? and my conclusion is you are in cahoots with PB because they want my name besmirched because of what I have on them, knowing full well if i say anything then they can come after me, so that is the conclusion I draw.

so either you are in cahoots with PB or a failure of the education system, which is it?

I think the whole spy v spy thing is running a bit OT. Let's all refocus on the absolute, undeniable fact that Kevin is a liar and a thief who deserves every bit of pain and suffering that comes his way. At least until he delivers to me the stuff that I paid for. At that point, we can revisit things.

I agree in my books once a thief always a thief and Kevin has proven to be such with his lies and such.

I think you'll find that, just like with RIck's startling revelation of my fanfriend status and deeply flawed differential diagnosis, not everyone agrees with your Conan the barbarian punishment for Kevin and that both are off topic per the red text above.

Mongol Rick: What is the meaning of this thread's life?

Forar: An open forum, free from NMI's bans, to post valid complaints about the Kickstarter until we get our models or money back.

Mongol Rick: Wrong! Hwang the Barbarian! What is best in life?

Hwang: Crush Kevin's arm! See Rick drive the car before you! Hear the lamentations of his fanfriends!

Mongol Rick: That is good! That is good!

It's a bit over the top, dontchyathink?

you always are over the top and yet seem to always center on me as your punching bag which still begs the question why? in cahoots with PB or ? also I never rejoiced over Kevin's injury unlike others, and yet you indicate i did? I only wish his company to go bankrupt and to see him financially crushed, big difference.

Hmmm, reminds me of the BOFH daily excuses for when things go wrong on a server:
http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ballard/bofh/excuses

Could be cathartic, ways PB can be blamed or their views on life...

PB blame here:

I could back you but PB has cured me of that.
PB has set the speed for continental drift.
We have daylight savings because PB took it.
With PB the cheque is not in the mail, heck, they don't even have one.
Because of PB I no longer use the word "soon".
PB's definition of "98%" is similar to Microsoft update's.
This is why we cannot have nice things: PB.
The Robotech Kickstarter can now be called the backer's "Crisis of Treachery".
I feel a strong need to slap someone when they say they would like to "restart".
I fully expect my computer to boot-up with Windows 3.11 when it "restarts".
If anyone asks for a definition of "entropy" I direct them to review PB's history.
I am reasonably certain PB hired the same photographer who took pictures of Loch Ness and the Sasquatch.

PB views of the world:

For PB work = phone call.
PB is not a store, it is a warehouse.
Refunding money = a waste of money.
RPG's are the only good product.
Assurances are the same as getting it done.
Save time and electricity: copy-paste.
If you do not like what you see: ban, then erase.
When you feel tense: watch the geese.
Customers are to be fan-friends, fan-friends provide donations.
Friends who agree with you, tell the truth.
If told you did not spend the money appropriately: list everything you did not do with it.
If you feel people understand the situation too well, just write a few pages of why it was not your fault.
When people start to stand up for their rights, tell them what their rights should be.
When able to write a couple paragraphs in a day for more than one product you are officially "on fire".
If you think people do not believe what you have to say, get someone else to say it for you.
Go after every single person who promotes your product for free without permission, but anyone who uses the IP and pays money are welcome.
Labeling disgruntled customers as a "noisy minority" is a fine way to pretend what they say is invalid.

Sad thing is, I could do this all day.

Problem is Palladium can do this for decades.

Psst. If I were doing pre-modern punishment, he'd spend the rest of his days in a Victorian Debtors Prison, working off the MSRP of what he owes the backers.

ahhh if only those still existed.

Nesbet,
Thank you very much! That was helpful.

I dislike storing minis on flight stands. I may try to magnetize them, but I've never don't that with minis as large as the RRT ones.

Appreciate the pictures!

Sorting:


xD

Irony aside, I tried magnetizing. At first I tried to help a friend magnetizing the original RTT flying stands. It was a mess because the VFs pivot in the stand, so they pointed everywhere
Then I fixed this fixing two 1x1mm magnets per flying stand, but it was difficult. But 2 magnets were enough to fix them in a single direction and are strong enough for Regults. I think is way too much work to be honest. The flying stand measures like 2.5mm. Way too much work, and then I convinced my friends that their original RTT flying stands suck badly compared with my translucent acrylic rods
It's impossible to fix 2 magnets in one acrylic rod. At least the small ones, and you wouldn't like a big fat rod for such small miniatures.

Have you considered gluing the stands to the bases and not gluing the minis to the stand? so you can store the models appart from the bases+stands. You could try using 2 pins per rod to give your miniatures a fixed direction...

my Zentraedi Army so far:





Zentraedi in Storage:



and in the following pics you can see how I used rods for flight stands magnetized with a magnet on stand and a magnet on fighter or plane so as to be able to remove the stands for storage if need be.











now these guys I didn't use magnets due to their small size:





and some asst. pics:

I used to drill a 3/16 hole into the mini, that I would jam the flight stand into.
