Hi guys!

I have specially opened up this thread for any questions any of you guys may have for the Hearts of Steel (HOS)Customs by griffith 76.

In this thread, he will be personally answering all your questions! All you need to do is ask!

In fact, pre-orders for this HOS customs have already been up!

Check out the 15th January 2009 entry on his blog for more details! His blog is at: http://griffith-monolog.blogspot.com/

Photos of the unpainted 6.5 inches one (we'll update everyone when the colored ones are ready!:




Do take note that pre-orders are currently on-going at the moment! International buyers are most welcomed! Any questions, please ask here!

On behalf of Griff, I would just like to mention that there will be some collector-oriented additions to the Prime custom, courtesy of yours truly.

I will be producing professional-grade boxart, a G1-style tech spec, and a G1-style instruction booklet to be included with each kit.

Stay tuned to the fan art forum for a sneak peek of the aforementioned boxart, coming soon to a forum near you.

- Alty

Who will design the tech-spec card and its stats for Prime?

Do resin/painted models fair well better with or without Oxygen (e.g in a cabrient)?

I assume most of the individuals getting this will be first time kitbashers, will you design a video (i.e cheap dvd to come with pack)?

Will the comic be in breach of IDW or the relevant bodies copyright?

Hmm for spec card its pretty much for Alty to decide and I guess Prime's stats are more or less the same as what other Primes usually get, factoring in the fact that he existed in an older era.

White resin usually turns yellowish when exposed to sunlight like white plastics. The colored sets are dyed with pigments so there shouldn't be any issues with color change. I doubt resin turns brittle over time so that shouldn't be a problem either.

I doubt that I will have time to make a video. I'll be giving tips in the written instructions and photos instead.

Hmm there's no comic to be released with the kit (keeping costs low) from what I know. But if you're talking about the production, well they can try to sue my pants off for making a fan figure and offering it up for sale. They probably won't win but I probably won't have money to go to court so if that happens then I'll just cease the project and agree to whatever terms they have. No trademarks, logos or copyrighted materials are to be used in this project. And just for info, I own the 3D design since I did it. I just don't own the 2D character or the names associated with the design.

Ok Griffith i have a few questions sorry if the questions is a bit noob...

I dun have a paypal account and want to do a bank transfers is it ok?

And if i do a bank transfer wat will it equate to Singapore dollars?

I noe in ur blog u said, be prepared to drill a lot of holes will u be providing us with the small screws or do we need to source them for ourselves?

I am seriously considering to buy to get one...

Thanks in advance......

Yo bro, bank transfer is fine. Or better yet can meet up at csc and save on delivery as I'm not a fan of the local post office.

The current rate is US$1=S$1.49 according to xe.com so US$120 is approx S$178.8 but doing bank transfer I don't have to pay paypal fees so deduct 5% should be $170.

I'm remolding some parts to reduce the holes that are harder to drill straight so there shouldn't be a lot of trouble after that. I'll be providing extra screws and other stuff that you need to build the kit, even drill bits. Other tools you'll have to get from hardware shops. And I'm including an extra set of the small parts that are likely to break as well so you can have a second chance if you snap something.

Thanks bro thats a lot of help i will PM u in a couple of days once i made my decision as of now i abt 70% confirm.....

Haha no problem bro. If you're afraid that you might damage the kit or something you can come my workshop and do. Got all the tools and spare parts you'll need if damaged, but its super small and messy though.

Thanks for the offer bro but I think if i get one i probably do it at home...But never say never I might take up ur offer....
