This is my first post, and it looks like a mega dump of the progress so far. Follow Haotian Niu or DONW999 on facebook and Instagram for WIP and videos demonstrating mechanisms. 

Now to the main thing. 

I know this thing is unpopular, otherwise there would have been Bandai or Yamato/Arcadia toy already. And to be completely honest, I don't think it has any right to be. It looks weird and buffy to say the least. But in a round about way, it also looks kind cute. So I decided to have a go at it. Took me about a 2 weeks to get where I am now, which is most of the transformation mechanism is completed.

Studio Experten(http://experten.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/va3/index.html) is a huge inspiration, which I got the links from this forum. Thanks a lot.

I cant find any high quality Studio HalfEye version, and yes, I have looked through the achieve, which is the low quality I was talking about.

So far, I have replicated the Experten mechanism through their photos, Great, GREAT reference. However I also notice there are quite a few very weak points that requires a lot attention. The printed model is very flimsy at the moment. The torso transformation mechanism has these for swing hinges, that are almost impossible to secure.

The hips are on these, in comparison, tiny parts. I can't imagine their 1/100 scale is any more sturdy. 

Other than those, I also reinforce the wings some and developed the best possible printable ball joints. 

There are many things that need revision and I can see this would be a long and arduous journey. But I promise you this, I will finish it.

 

Try this page; I've seen a lot of Macross 3D files there, you might find something interesting.

======================Mod Warning===============

1. Maximum uploads of 3 pictures of a toy even if you bought two.   That means if you bought DC Batman you can post a combination of boxed and opened pics of up to three here.  Anymore than three will get the post deleted.   If you bought another copy of the same DC Batman toy that does not constitute as a different toy and does not earn you three new photos.  The moderation team considers that spamming and will be deleted.  Text link to an external photo gallery if you have more than three pictures to share.

2). Image size:  Height maximum per toy will now be set to 2400pixels for 3 pictures combined.   That means one high resolution picture at 2400pixels or three decent resolution picture of 800pixels each.

Someone noticed that the legs are backwards (they didn't rotate them as the manual indicates) maybe that's why they couldn't maintain the pose on gerwalk and batroid 😅

Finalmente imprimió las partes principales y las pintó con sus colores base. Todavía tengo mucho trabajo por hacer en términos de pintura de detalles y piedras, pero ahora las proporciones se sienten bien y a mi gusto. En comparación con la imagen de arriba, es de día y de noche en términos de escala adecuada.  Todavía me queda una mascota, que son los portadores de ARMD que ahora se sienten un poco cortos.  Esa será la ÚLTIMA cosa que hago y ENTONCES, terminaré. 

i have one too

Nice

Thank you for the pointer to that kit. Do you know if it is designed to perfectly fit a Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1, like the original Moscato kit? I checked out the designer's page and it looks like he includes his own VF-1 parts.

I'm not sure, but in case it isn't! I don't think it's much to be able to make modifications to adapt a hasegawa

@Anasazi37 Gracias por hacérmelo saber que revise mi copia. Tengo el mismo problema con mi kit, aunque solo está en un lado y son solo dos de las aletas, no las cuatro. Pensé que usaría un poco de manteca de estireno para repararlo. 

@Bolt Tienes razón, esos son dos kits diferentes. Ese primer kit publicado es definitivamente el kit de John, o muy cerca de él. Además, si esa cosa está impresa en 3D, esa es la mejor impresora 3D de la que he oído hablar. No veo ninguno de los patrones de pasos de capas impresas discretas o cualquier otro tipo de artefactos de impresión. La segunda foto tiene una resolución muy baja y creo que mostraría fácilmente los bordes y imperfecciones impresas en 3D del kit si fuera de mejor calidad.

sandpaper a lot of sandpaper!
