Nyankodevice Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Will the ARMD's that thunderchild made fit on this? if so I need to print them and print out the SDF-1!!!! Hmm i havent checked if it does.... But u can always print it out in scale if it isn't already... The TV ARMD platforms are already on my to do list....

Nyankodevice Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 ok i have made a decision! while contemplating how to make the transformation i encountered a problem..... Perfect Transformation or Aesthetics (appearance and form) or both.... heres what i arrived at: 1. both is not possible with paper, theres not enough room inside the parts + durability will be a issue 2. im not sure plastic is durable enough for that purpose either 3. i dont have the tools to make the mechanisms in metal 4. Perfect transformation alone is not a pleasing sight since it will just be SDF-1 Movie version all over again the chest thrusters being the main issue, movie version chest thrusters dont move out from center ship the TV version does 5. Aesthetics it is, with my own touches ofcause Appearance in this case i more important imo. That doesn't mean im giving up on the both option! Some progress has also been made: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do u know those times where u know something is off but cant quite place it?!?! just had that kind of "Aha" moment found two things wrong with this battle cruiser.... the "Shoulders" where at the wrong position.. and the "arms" where looking like the Movie version why didn't i see that!!! well i have changed that, well in the process of changing it! first up is the re-position of the "shoulders" next is the first step in the new and improved "arms" also more sturdy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyankodevice Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 What was the adjustment on the shoulders? They're a bit higher now? yup i raised them... had to make them so they where center in cruiser mode but, raised in Storm mode.... some might not see it that well.... however it made the difference for me....

Nyankodevice Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) yay another update.... granted that they are not that big... however since theres only touchups, weathering and minor rework left on this glorious battleship, ill upload smaller updates, perhaps more frequent than thus far... Prometheus has gotten another layer of weathering: Begun rework on SLV-111 Daedalus, I want the hatch to open so i can create something similar to this: its at alpha stages atm... which also means ill need to make more Destroids... Mainly Tomahawks and Monsters Edited November 22, 2014 by Nyankodevice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
