Rodavan Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Been trying my hand a kit modeling ,but seeing the great Queadluun for Milla , I decided to try and do a CG model of the Milla Quead.Also at the price CG is cheaper ! Everthing is nice and rounded and with very little info ,it's like building a scratch model , without the styrene and putty and filing and filing ....... I struggled with the feet , still needs something maybe ? If there is any good refernce pics out there let me know . Maybe the guys who bought the Quead can take some nice pic left , front and back and close up so we can see the detail. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechmaster Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Looks like a good start Rod, I was working mainly from my Imai 1/144 scale model when I made a start on the Rau (currently shelved through lack of time) but I also had this image to help.

Gammera Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Q-rau's are tough, I tired to do one but I stopped working on it, Didn't like anything about my model. I found this pic somewhere. Super jelous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodavan Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hi Need help ! Is that "hook" stuck on the back of that "hump" or must the "hook" slide trough it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vostok 7 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 HiNeed help ! Is that "hook" stuck on the back of that "hump" or must the "hook" slide trough it? Thanks I don't quite understand your question... Vostok 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 The hook is attached to that little fin/hump and slides back and forth when the hatch opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodavan Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Sorry If I am unclear in my question - Vostok 7 I added a picture to show/explain , I think >EXO< got it - Thanks "Somethimes I talk english deliciously" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechmaster Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Here is how the antenna attaches on the model kit, just a simple pivot at the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodavan Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 WIP update Thanks Mechmaster , that makes sense ! I finished the basic parts ( a week of lunch hour modeling) . I still need to work on the back booster part and the area right under the chest. If the proportions look out , let me know, but @least it's starting to look like a Rau. Still lots to do !

Rodavan Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 Leg and head info Trying to get detail on legs , I have counter sunk the holes ( See pic) I take it this is a "exhuast" , in some pics it look as if instead of a counter sunk hole there is "step" ? I also finished the head , but have no idea about the area around it , should it be empty or is there somethig there ? If you know let me know !

mechaninac Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Great looking stuff, your Rau is coming along nicely. By the way, what are you using to model this thing, Rhino? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel's Fury Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Nice work on the CG Rau's head!!! As for the legs, I think they're thrust vectors, used in manuvering in space, not exhausts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Toy Story NOTHING... that looks like a photo from off a shelf!! O_O!!! I really should use Rhino for more than polygon modeling... How on earth do you get those complex surfaces so smooth??? I always end up with ridiculous distortions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpaz Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Toy Story NOTHING... that looks like a photo from off a shelf!! O_O!!! I really should use Rhino for more than polygon modeling... How on earth do you get those complex surfaces so smooth??? I always end up with ridiculous distortions. I would go even further! I would say this is one of the photo album for the Meltran Q-Rau propaganda!!! (Put a slogan under your Q-Rau and all meltrans will buy it for sure! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodavan Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 Thanks for kudos guys ! There still lots to do , but I couln't resist posting those two pic. The Q-Rau is a difficult one to model. Chronocidal - Try and try again , I re-did the chest and shoulder area about 7 times in Rhino before I was happy. I then used Solid Edge to smooth out the last fillets with variable fillets.

Rodavan Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 Need some opinions ! Can't seem to get the "backpack" right , is it to small ? Some reference pic show a cut-out at the bottom shown in gold colour here. The new 1/60 doesn't seem to have it , or the pics if have seen doesn't show it . So does my version look right ?
