LOVE HEAVY METAL. Would love to see more kits from the movie. Also in one flash of the Plutonium Ship flying thru space, you get a glimpse of a destroyed Refit Enterprise.
Love those guys. Nice to know there are still enough people who remember the movie (and the magazine) that someone decided that making the models was worthwhile. I hope they sell well enough that they make a lot more.
Fun stuff! I like it all, Lou! Nice work! I love the base you made for these figures, as it brought it all together. You really are better at these figures than you ever give yourself credit for! It's good to step out of your ship-building comfort zone, no doubt, because you seem to be growing as a modeler with every figure/diorama that you build and paint! Your videos are always such a treat, man!
I think I could listen to the Heavy Metal sound track on a loop for years and not get sick of it. I've always wanted to make a 3D model of that ship. And the ELO UFO.
I really like this one Lou, I've always been a fan of the Heavy Metal movie. I thought of a diorama I would like to do with the figures. I would scratch build that Nyborg dispensing machine and reposition Zeke's arms.
Fantabulous ❤ when I ordered mine they said they only had a few sets left after the show! Not cheap, but a kitschy and fun set! Thanks for the excellent reference tutorial on finishing these.
This is now on my list of kits that you 'made' me purchase! You're a bad influence, sir, thanks for all you do! There is a Taarna kit (I think I got it from cgtrader) with her seated on the floor, not sure if there is one with her on her mount
I only found out about these figures from your video last week (never noticed them in the dealer room) and I had to get them. I just got here them, and my Edsel is one piece, not three like yours. I think the robot is three feet tall (compared to Gloria) making him 1/12 scale, so he's in scale with Bandai droids and Polar Lights' Robbie and one of their LiS robot kits. Anyhow, I like what you did with them, which is largely in line with what I was thinking. Dig your color-change base!
Lou, those lines are still very deep and wide. I was planning to do black lines between colors, but I may use some filler in there. They don't match the rest. I wonder if my one-piece Edsel is an earlier version. Your hollow one uses less resin.
@@Bellerophonmodeler You are correct! You got the rare test print set that was not supposed to go out in boxes! I guess it got mixed in with the others when Vicky was packing kits for the show.
Maybe I was too old, but Heavy Metal didn't do it for me. You seem to be a major fan-- so this was a very sweet build. Apparently, among the various virtues of a printed kit is very few seam lines... or none. So it's straight to paint. But I did like the work on the base. Terrific base. Looking forward to Bruce!
@@aztekdummy why don't u like Stargate cool ships and Atlantis also sgu destiny ship couple of cool ships in Thunderbirds.. how about Terra hawks Blake 7 or Andromeda or buck Rogers
well great stuff like em me i do on pad so long and that all the fish or the babel fish just a think yes some thing from the HHGTTG has be dun yes what setary frome film like green EYES LOL she has em
Oh I love these! I remember seeing the movie in theaters when it came out. Excellent job on them!

it wasn't til i got the bluray that i could get a good still frame grab of that shot.
@@aztekdummy I still have to this day, the double album of the soundtrack. That is some great music to listen to.

I wasn’t sure when you picked these up but now they have had the star treatment I’m absolutely in love!!!👏👏👏👏
Good deal Lou, good deal ✊🤘🤙✌️, good to see something from when we were youngins, well, when I a teenager
I ordered my crew as soon as I saw this video, and I am impressed with the prints. I will buy anything they do from this classic movie.
Loved that movie! Great Job, 😁Lou!
I' would use the movie as reference for the figures.😊

How 'bout magnets in the feet? Use a metal plate covered in plastic so they stay but can be moved.

This was one of my favorite movies when growing up
Lou + I like these figures kits your doing them justice keep up the great work 💪
Awesome job Lou! I love Heavy Metal.

Excellent! So beautiful so dangerous!
Good nyborg!!
NOSE DIVE!!
Looks great! Love the base!!

did they fix the lines between the colors on his shirt or are they still really too deep?
Lou, those lines are still very deep and wide. I was planning to do black lines between colors, but I may use some filler in there. They don't match the rest.

Lou have you ever considered using figure handles to hold your figures so you don’t smudge the paint?
one of my fav SciFi movies, for me it was the music and not so much the nudity (-:..................nose dive !!!!

Nice 😁.... great movie 🎥

What was the solution for the robots mouth, without a closeup it looks a bit like some sort of appliqué?
I painted the mouth. I had to paint white first so the colors would show up against the blue. Then a dot of color in the centers.
Are you building Bruce off camera? Didn't see any videos.
Yes, I'm filming it and I'll post it after July 4th reveal.
@@aztekdummy Great! Looking forward to the build.
