a bit more done... added the back shell, whatever it is! also made the bridge boom/spoiler, and as mentioned in a previous post front hatch hinges.

Forgot to take pictures today, but i have been sanding all day it looks a helluva lot better now.. also built a slide and open for the front Hatch. Btw. anyone knows what this is, or what function it serves:

that looks like a Tallgeese kit...

made some more progress on the Daedalus.. had to lengthen it a bit, and i added 2 cm also changed the design of the back end of the keel to accommodate for the extra lenght and also it looks alot better imo. not quite finished but its getting there...

already made the bridge

had a friend help me hold the ship while i took a picture and she wants to stay anonymous

maybe its the hammerhead principle... having a wide target scanner or something like that.. better precision for fast moving targets.. it IS an AA mecha..

never seen it rotate, dont think it rotates in the tv show, but my memory could be faulty

Lol you're starting to sound like me.... be careful of that, trust me

well... i received the magnets im planning to use for this build already used some of them some heavy duty ones and some close to the last ones i ordered... 16 mm x 6 mm 49 newtons 13 mm x 4 mm 26 newtons 06 mm x 3 mm 09 newtons 03 mm x 6 mm 04 newtons Strength: 10 Newtons ~ 1 kg so finally the Main Cannon is attached.. used 13 mm x 4 mm magnets to keep the two sides together. and 16 mm x 6 mm to connect the cannon to main body its getting kinda heavy the 06 mm x 3 mm i will use for the docking mechanism of the two smaller crafts Daedalus and Prometheus. also started working on Daedalus

welcome aboard the Macross Express

Well you get more room that way.... May not be real world correct, but it looks more correct.

pilot looks a bit big for that valk... or its a really big guy? but really its almost impossible to make it accurate, cuz alot of anime magic is involved in the cockpit with transformation and whatnot... however i really like what you've done so far. keep up the good work

According to the research I've done.. TV show says legs go into power suit legs, Where as DYRL says they go into backpack... Ill post some close-up pucs of it tonight, when I get home

Nothing to do with model building of any sort🤔However I only work 3 days a week... That's how I get the time to build so much..😁

still available at HLJ just checked... http://www.hlj.com/product/bann04090

the actuator is pretty much finished... found some some strong click joints online from a broken DX Chogokin Macross Quarter.. need them to be able to hold the weight of the two ships Daedalus and Prometheus. also made the actuators slide-able so that the joints can be hidden in cruiser mode....

Mostly done with the actuator part of the "arms" need to still make the connectors "docks" for the ships and put in a hangar in those also.

didn't think i would have the shoulders done to this extend already... but i was on a roll when it came to the mathematical calculations (Estimated Guesses) so they are... the pictures says it all... need the actuators which i have already made the shape for... the submarine in the background belongs to my friend who comes by often to have company when building his models...

now this is interesting gonna keep my eyes on this project... have the bandai version my self... and was planning on a few mods for it... to make it more stable...

wow... been so focused on the main ship that i keep forgetting about the "shoulders" and the smaller crafts... been busying my self with the shoulders today... covered them in styrene and added the cannon mount.

made the "leg" connections or connectors if you will... more pictures of them soon.. once they are more refined.. but im very exited that the main engine housing are attachable without the use of magnets even being able to hold all that weight

finally! i made the large "intakes" on either side of the main (center) hull also had to reshape the main gun base and the side lift thrusters where they meet up with the "Intakes"

looks like alot of fun... recently build that Tomahawk my self... good luck

wow i have some progress to show you... as my Queadluun Rau is almost done... ill start this one up again, from a much needed brake... i have started giving it more detail... for now its not gonna transform.... however.... i know my self well enough to know that... i might change my mind later so fickle! therefore i make sure to add the basic mechanism for that now. now i add the regular details, later ill add all the irregular details.
