  1. Is there any chance that the raw data can be shared so as to allow us to contact 3D Printing outfits like Shapeways to make our own 1/285th scale minis? You would not actually be casting them yourselves, thus avoiding running afoul of Palladium/ND/HG. Of course, you would be doing the legwork of the CAD modeling.....

    This will be the last time I will answer this question and will no longer reply to the 1/285th scale question.

    HELL NO! :angry: If anyone feels like this is an inadequate response please see page 4 regarding 1/285th scale. :5:

  2. To answer some of your questions:

    Why not in 1/285th? - Reason one, is that I like the 1/350th scale. Reason two, is to be in scale with the Garfish. Reason three, is that as a modeler 1/350th is a common ship scale and it is easier to find after market products so you can add accessories.

    Robotech tactics game - These kits are not at all associated with the tactics game nor will I make them in 1/285th scale (read first question). If you wish to use them in the game the size differences is not that much. I have seen a picture on this site of the bugeye being used in a 1/285th game and it is plenty big enough. Did you post that Felindar?

    These kits in 1/350th have been in planning for a longtime well before the tactics game became known. The first in line was the Garfish. I still have a couple of more 1/350th ideas that will hopefully be completed next year.

  3. just one question, why 1/350 ? for matching with the Garfish resin kit ?

    Since the scale 1/350 of the resin kit garfish is wrong (it's near to 1/600), perhaps it will be a good idea to make this Sheldo in 1/600, not?

    If you use the new measurement of 179m (587ft), which is from Shadow Chronicles, then the Garfish would be the wrong scale. Since I used the measurement of 107m (350ft), from older sources before Shadow Chronicles, then the scale is correct. The sheldo dimensions are based on the older sources to maintain consistency.

    there seems to be a virus going around..

    pretty infectious...

    The infection will soon spread. Some love is coming for SC fans in 1/350th. :D
