yup i raised them... had to make them so they where center in cruiser mode but, raised in Storm mode.... some might not see it that well.... however it made the difference for me....
-
That thing is gorgeous!! maybe I should make a Sdf-1 in same scale....
-
ok i finally have a update for u guys!!! first though.... Do u know those times where u know something is off but cant quite place it?!?! just had that kind of "Aha" moment found two things wrong with this battle cruiser.... the "Shoulders" where at the wrong position.. and the "arms" where looking like the Movie version why didn't i see that!!! well i have changed that, well in the process of changing it! first up is the re-position of the "shoulders" next is the first step in the new and improved "arms" also more sturdy
-
Real life has Been interfering lately.... However I suspect I'll have more time within the next couple of weeks....
-
ok a small update to give you a taste of its Storm mode..... havent had much time to do work on this.
-
ok i have made a decision! while contemplating how to make the transformation i encountered a problem..... Perfect Transformation or Aesthetics (appearance and form) or both.... heres what i arrived at: 1. both is not possible with paper, theres not enough room inside the parts + durability will be a issue 2. im not sure plastic is durable enough for that purpose either 3. i dont have the tools to make the mechanisms in metal 4. Perfect transformation alone is not a pleasing sight since it will just be SDF-1 Movie version all over again the chest thrusters being the main issue, movie version chest thrusters dont move out from center ship the TV version does 5. Aesthetics it is, with my own touches ofcause Appearance in this case i more important imo. That doesn't mean im giving up on the both option! Some progress has also been made:
-
Hmm i havent checked if it does.... But u can always print it out in scale if it isn't already... The TV ARMD platforms are already on my to do list....
-
You know.... this is candy to my eyes Must......have......my......own!!!!!
-
it weren't meant as a correction... cuz i do use old cardboard too... for different purpose though....
-
I love The gerwalk!!! Especially when The creators pull it of nicely, There are some mechas that doesn't pull it of so well though... When the nose is way to long is one example... The best gerwalks IMO is VF-1 and VF-25
-
the "arms" are rock solid... made of book binders cardboard they can easily with stand 50 kg pressure, maybe even 100 kg.... since they are gonna hold the Prometheus and Daedalus while also able to move bend and turn, they'd better be sturdy
-
ok Almost there! just need to make it all "pretty" again after having worked on it.... the "Arms" can rotate in 2 places and bend in two others!! need to paint it where i have made changes
-
As promised ill show what i have in mind with the shoulder parts.... i disassembled the "shoulders" and made new structure inside made room for the arms... and here they are:
-
So the devil took hold of me again.... I decided to make the arm actuators movable To Better accommodate the "transformation" I'll post update to show u what I mean, tonight.
-
i will do that.... also i was leaning towards satin on most of the ship.... matte on thruster clusters.... no pun intended yes definitely, its a must i would say
-
Ok i was wondering, which type of varnish would be best for the main hull of the SDF-1 : Matt, Satin or gloss....? Personally I dont like gloss for this purpose, but I'm not sure about the other two types...? Any input would be useful..
-
and yet again i have something to show you! well nothing major like last update did some of the stripes Main thrusther and upper side of the "shoulders" also some progress on the rail cannons still not finished though... some weathering has been done around the "legs/thrusther" area... not sure if i overdid it abit? and i realized that i never showed u guys the underside of the SDF-1 here goes.....
-
Papercraft in it self isnt that hard... same skill level as gluing a plastic model together... other skills needed: Precision and Patience... however if u mean a forum like this one.... http://www.papermodelers.com/ would be the go to forum for that... im not there my self that much... but definitely the go to forum for learning papercraft...
-
just acquired the paint needed for painting the stripes.... and also bought a new airbrush
-
lol thx u just gotta love them Minions xD and thx i agree and thx thx wow thx i just hope they would make one since it hardly gets any love in japan its birthing place... i thank you thankies i would be able to cast it if i had the knowledge for it :/
-
thx Shawn... not sure i dare do that xD tweaked it a couple of times before i was satisfied with color. yea it is... have half a bottle still... thx man high praise thx and u better belive it lol thx nice jaw dropper xD yes it will need to make some changes to 3 parts which is not that difficult... just need some extra parts... hehe
-
OK today i have a treat for you guys, im gonna show you the SDF-1 fully assembled and painted.... bare in mind that the weathering is not finished yet, and still need striping in various places, like the yellow stripe around the main engine thrusters, the red striping on the "shoulders" and midship. the Rail Cannons still needs some paint... Anyway here we go!!
-
tx alot if Arcadia ever makes the TV version im gonna buy it, how could i not?
-
i'm in too...... option 2 or 3 would be my preferred! but im game for what ever the majority decides.
-
