Scratch Build 1/700 Scale SDF-1 Macross

I began designing buildings. The size of VF-1 battroid is 15mm, whitch comes 10.5m when multiplied with 700. The building is 40mm as 8 floors.

The human is too small to be made up with details, with the size of 2.6mm.

I should learn how to make details with Sketchup, the 3D designing tool.

You should be able to find a bunch of content on the Sketchup user generated content library.

On the other hand, you might want to keep the detail of buildings, etc. to a minimum. Use colours and textures should provide more than enough to give a sense of detail (on DeviantArt, there are a lot of people who use Sketchup for modelling and export it into a different 3DCG program for rendering - getting a lot of the surface detail, lighting and shading from those other programs).

Thank you sketchley!

I explored 3d warehouse and found some vf-1 models and buildings.

Rescaling enabled a tiny and detailed 15mm Valkirye.

I wanna 3D print, regarding the creator's copyright.

Building and landscape (ground, roads etc) might be 3D & 2D hibrid printed for simpleness & detail.

I printed out some battroids and a building by a 3D printer (I visited an facility and was allowed to use the machine there),

and the result was a fail !

I failed to print the details on 1.5 cm battroids. I have to improve my technique to adjust the settings of the printer, or use another machine

like an optical projection type or a laser cutter.

But my next plan is to scratch them with putty as a common way.

And the building is too large to put it in the leg of SDF-1. Buildings might be able to be printed though. I'l design the 3D model of the town.

I visited a fab lab to use 3D printer again and printed some buildings.

These are a half size of the previous shot. They suit for the city layout, but rather small comparing with valks.

Considering how to make surface details. Sanding, painting... and some printed photos would help to make some textures and advertising displays.

The whole city is below.

Going to use 1/700 etched figures, they might hit their heads at the building's entrance though.

Thank you spanner 76!

Today I sanded a building and thought I may buy etched parts for battleship's exterior. I tried another things, destroids.

Monster might be large enough to 3D print, but I went on a traditional way, it's fun to use japanese tooth cleaners for the cannons.

They might hit their heads on the ceiling because it's 3cm high, that is 21m.

After long research and experiment term, I made the suburb in SDF-1.

Thanks to the advices from all of you, I tried a papermodel with photo textures.

I used open licensed suburb photo data and edited as textures.

Seems to be Nyan Nyan Chinese restaurant.
