    Maybe, once it's painted and properly lit... I've got 40 chip LEDs being delivered tomorrow. 😅 Actually, she agreed and cut her hair for the role. Unfortunately, a drunk-driving incident left her injured at time of filming. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/we-never-had-an-ending-why-disneys-black-hole-lost-star-wars-1262526/

    No, I bought that from YJA years before I had my own 3D printer. Your material options depend entirely on the type of printer; DLP or SLA use photopolymer resins, while FFF or FDM use extruded filament spools. Liquid resin is better for highly-detailed miniatures, while filament is more practical for larger projects. Those are my Hiya Toys action figures, actually. ☺️ A brief Google search found several different options for ALIEN figures in compression suits that can be downloaded and printed. There are no limits to scale with 3D-printing; your only restrictions would be layer thickness, and the physical dimensions of your printer. Print anything you want, at any size you want! 😁

    The Woodland Camo is still my favorite! 😍

    Something like this? 😎 Gambody's files are on sale right now. I think so. The bio-mechanical shapes and muted color scheme would be quite forgiving, so it would be difficult to screw it up. 😅 Let me know if you're serious about it.

    I enjoy pushing the limits of a 12K resolution printer. 😎 The Cygnus files I bought were disappointingly low-resolution, so I figured the only way to justify my purchase was to make a Hallmark ornament. 😉 Plus, I already have a variety of ships displayed at the same 1:3000 scale: Actually, ALIEN was a July release; The Black Hole came out in December of 1979, only two weeks after Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Fun factoid: Sigourney Weaver had originally been cast as Dr. Kate McCrae, but the zero-gravity sequences in The Black Hole required her to cut her hair. 😅 She refused, and the role went to Yvette Mimieux instead. If Sigourney Weaver had agreed to Disney's demands, Veronica Cartwright (who had already been cast as Ripley) would've been the big star of the franchise... ...and we'd be living in a slightly different alternate universe today. ☺️

    My giant SDF-1 languishes while an even older ship design lies on my workbench... I'm sure some of you are old enough to recognize this one. ☺️ Despite its diminutive size, it demands a great deal of internal lighting... ...not all of which I've managed to achieve so far. What's more, I want it to display it with the Palomino, at a matching scale of 1:3000: A daunting task, for such a tiny model!

    Ah, I see your point. The animated films are better Transformers movies, 'cause they don't sideline the robots in favour of a human protagonist (as the live-action films consistently did). Still, I found "smart dog" Bumblebee a lot less obnoxious than "Badassatron" B-127. 😒

    Damn, Mog! That looks really good in red. Ouch. That explains how you got it done so quickly. 😅 At least spray it down with a couple coats of matte topcoat to conceal the brush strokes a little. That'll help prevent the stickers from peeling off, too. 👍

    I am compelled to remind Mike of Travis Knight's Bumblebee. Transformers One was a pleasant surprise (given its disastrous marketing campaign), but it has neither the heart nor the humour of Knight's film.

    I was wrong! 😓 They're seen fighting on the Daedalus. They're even called out in dialogue! I've been entirely too focused on the Destroids INSIDE the Daedalus. 😅

    Describes ThreeZero's Robo-Dou VF-1s, too! 👍

    I recognize it. 1997 ARII vinyl figure, from their Macross 15th Anniversary line. I made some minor modifications to mine. 😉

    I love the mottled weathering pattern you've got going there.
  14. tekering
    What's with the FOUR thrusters? Is Blast-Off not a Space Shuttle any more? 🤔 And why are they actively firing? 🤨
  15. tekering
    That's a cool weathering job you did on your Masterpiece Beta, @Mog. Mine still has that "new toy" look. 😉 I'd say the Toynami is closer to the SDF-1 color scheme, whereas Sentinel's blue is more VF-1J Max... Prolonged exposure to sunlight may have exaggerated the color difference on yours. 🤔 That's either a rhetorical question, or you're just being facetious. 😅
  16. tekering
    You know, I've always wanted one of these: Well actually, two. 😉 They're great for expanding the SDF-1 displays, and extending the lore, too... Haven't you always wondered what this would've looked like? I also wanted to give you a clearer look at the tiny Destroids I've printed up: Gotta pull out my trusty macrofocus lens for close-ups, since the detail is too small to photograph without special equipment (and impossible to see with the naked eye). Yeah, I know there weren't any Spartans depicted on the SDF-1, but I didn't want them to feel left out. 😅

    I figured the mods just deleted it. Certainly wouldn't be the first time. 😒 Maybe it'll be safer here:

    They're all still prototypes at this stage; only the first "Gluu-ger" has been mass-produced.
  19. tekering
    Now, there's an accessory I wouldn't even bother to 3D-print. 😑
  20. tekering
    As do the instructions: I can always print more. 😎
  21. tekering
    Just barely. I tried shooting the pose from other angles, but this is all I managed to get before it collapsed... 😰 The Legioss definitely requires its own support arm, particularly if you want to display it in robot mode.
  22. tekering
    I've always wanted to reproduce this dynamic pose, and Sentinel has now made it possible... ...with the help of a few 3D-printed accessories, of course. 😉
  23. tekering
    Konda works with the existing Gluu-ger body, but Bron and Rico do not.
  24. tekering
    $450 USD? 😨 A very easy pass, indeed. 😒 This may be the first failed HasLab for TVC. 🤔
  25. tekering
    Depends on how heavily your topcoat was applied. 🤔 The softer may still be effective. It's intended to meld the decals to painted surfaces, and certainly takes away some of that surface shine... but not as effectively as a flat matte topcoat will. 👍
