  1. ^ Love the F-15 Kai!

    Ever since I saw the cover art for the Patlabor/Zoids Crossover I'd been looking for more info on the unit in the background of the Tenjin art due to the unique design features ...

    When I saw the following I thought, "That's awesome!" ... did anyone catch that this is currently under development at 1/35 scale?

    Hit with a bit of "I haven't seen any posts here in a bit, I'm going to look back through this thread" and came across your post here, which I missed before. Really cool work. Would love to see the steps you took on this one, though I can probably figure some of them out.

     

    (Also, it just seems like Macrossworld unsubscribes me from threads I was previously following, for some reason)

    Thanks, hard to believe it's been 1.5yrs and still waiting but that's how it goes. The idea spawned when messing with the transformation and realizing a three-wheel configuration was pretty natural for it. Modding was the following:

    • discard front cowling & side flaring

    • cut/sand down metallic purple horns on helmet

    • w/alcohol/q-tips remove: autobot symbol, all purple paint, and metallic charcoal on chest-piece

    • snag third wheel from duplicate, cutaway/sand hip armor (below), shape clear green eyepiece from leftover Gundam sprue, swap reverse forearm shield pieces (key)

    • paint: shoulders/thighs blue, upper-arms/feet silver, forearms & wheels white, chest/head yellow accent and voila! ... a temporary placeholder until Pose+ is done!

    Question on scaling ... Enterbay's HD Masterpiece Robocop is 1/4 scale and stands 22" tall ... this model says it's 1/3 scale standing 24" tall? Which is more correct you think?

  4. If you're a Dairugger XV / Vehicle Voltron fan this weekend's 60% off sale is a pretty good price (comes w/free ship)...

    I have a lot of DXV/VVs [LINK] and while I'm not into SD much, I particularly enjoy this iterations never before seen transformations (mostly due to being SD) for roughly half the vehicles:

    Rugger #1 A.C.E. jet - head

    Rugger's #4, #5 recon choppers  - helicopter shoulder

    Rugger's #7, #8 aquatic exploration probers - thigh

    Rugger's #9, #10 exploration units - lower leg

    Rugger #11 radar station - hip

    The rest of it is pretty much standard stuff but the approach that Action Toys took to solve some of the connection joints to provide poseability is worth noting by any future attempts imo.
