I know there are some vinyl stickers kits out there (and may buy a set later anyway), but does anyone have any scans of the original stickers.
After seeing the Raydeen ones from the above site, they were drawn close, but still slightly different than my own 2nd version Raydeen, I decided to measure and draw up the torso decals in auto-cad from the stickers of my Raydeen which are in poor shape. But, mine doesn't have the center decal around the missile launch bay at all.
If need be, will just look at other Raydeen photos and wing it in. Or is subscience.org pretty close to how the original was done?
I have an old Gaiking, and will see about drawing up a set for him since the subscience.org link was broken for those stickers. Though my Raydeen torso stickers were falling off and could easy hold them up to the computer and line draw around them :-)

magengar - thanks for the PM to the Raideen link from the break time area. Will have to see how the download goes or works for sure. Am looking forward to the episodes.
repairtechjon - the missile was started from scratch using milliput. I wanted to keep the triangle tail and had a little wider wing span, but had to make it fit. The tail end of the missile was tuned to allow fit for the firing pin. Believe it should work for either the 1st and 2nd version jumbo Raydeens by excluding the notch the 2nd version missiles had.
I did make a mold of the hand made one and this is one of the pulls from it. It is a solid white plastic piece with enamel paint on the nose.
I plan on making more and listing some on ebay and offering a special RJ price for direct purchase soon.

As my first shogun inspiration when I was much younger was from the Marvel comic "Shogun Warriors", I decided to make my own custom missile based on the comic series. The comics had several different styles to Raydeen's screamer hawk missile and I had to tweak the design some to fit into jumbo Raydeen properly, and to fit the shooting mechanism, so here is my own version.

Is there a chat status on the home page for the number of people in current chat? On some other boards, I liked having at the bottom of the home page on whom was in chat as well in case someone I didn't care was in there and didn't have to log in to see the members then.

You have a pretty long cracks. I played with 2 part plastic resin, (got mine from Ace Hardware, plastic repair epoxy) but is hard to get a matching color and would be better to apply on the inside. Where the bumps are at, you can sand dremel in a little and fill back in. The epoxy didn't set up really hard that I used, but seemed to be a good binder to the plastic.
Would use some thin CA glue on the outside sparingly on the cracks. It is hard to repair flawlessly as you can't just sand things down and re-paint like a regular model.
That's my best suggestion for trying to fix and lessen any future cracking.

Cool looking arm attachment.
magengar, maybe we could start a new thread on your ideas for casting. I am just starting to get into the jumbo machinders (had Raydeen and Godzilla) when I was little and recently bought a Great Mazinger and a GaiKing. I have ordered some products from Smooth-On and plan on making some reproduction parts. For your idea, I am not sure, as these toys were blow molded for making their forms.
