Moving right along........ I don't know where else to post the following link. www.metrication.com/MetricConversionCalculator/It's a free downloadable Metric Conversion Calculator... ...many of us who build customs from scratch often have trouble converting metrics into inches when making custom action-figure parts; and especially if it involves mold-making and casting resin parts, which often require metric volume measurements for mixing resin and mold-making chemicals. Rather than waste website-forum server space with this one link, I've posted it here for anyone interested since we've been watching this thread for a while now. Hopefully this will be useful with your projects.  Now back to our thread topic. ;D zozo-mag |

 Man, if I tried doing detail work at THAT size my eyes would explode! Seriously, I just don't have that kind of patience; and if I could pull it off just once it would be a lucky shot. Awesome job with that thing, bro!  zozo-mag

It looks way tall above the crown. But still, the tiny detail work is amazing for a custom object of that size. zozo-mag |

You guys are used to the squashed Pileder look. It is drawn either squashed, or normal, or both in every Mazinger Z anime. This happens even in Shin Mazinger. I prefer it in the normal mode, where the Pileder retains its shape even when docked. }D |

uhhh...im not exactly sure what you mean by squashed TBH. Here is an example of what I mean by "squashed" Pileder.  I'm done with the Jet Pileder and now I'm working on the Scrander Belt. I don't think I'll be custom making a Toei style Scrander body until I retire thou... ;D }D |

Yep, that's squashed alright.
In the "MZ vs Ankou..." ova, the Jet Pilder does stick out
above the crown. I like that Mazinger-Z cell drawing much
better than the anime series drawing.

Me too. That is my favorite OVA of all to this date. The artists took great care in the drawing and animation in that one. }D |

three questions come to mind when I look at that SKL mod you're doing...
1)will you do the long axe too?
2)I wonder how much modding it would take to make that into a SRC Kouji Mazinkaiser....
3)Why is it so hard to find a Mazinkaiser figure of ANY kind that doesn't cost a limb and a half?!
...also, love your other weapons...I really hope to see more of them and possibly resin recasts or something sold about...
maybe one day you could turn a Shin Mazinger into the Asura Mazinger?
