  1. Thanks guys! 

    @Mommar esthetically this V2 is very similar to tte first version. The main changes are the 1) more compact/efficient landing gears mechanism, 2) front clear widow shape, 3) slight changes to global shape peculiarly on the bottom stabilizer which has been enlarged. 4) every moving mechanisms have been reviewed to be enhanced to be more solid and long lasting (bottom stab, missile traps, wings and Sharon seat). 5) super parts have been shaped more ala Tenshin illustration instead of based on the line art and use magnets now. 

    I plan to make a video soon too!

  2. It still unclear how this Ghost X-9 will be released.

    Since I invested in a air brush, I can do the painting, but preparing (sanding/primer x3 times) takes too much efforts to be enjoyable when done multiple times. If I find a professional sandblasting service, open to sanding plastic parts instead of dental apparels, that would be a different story!

    If @valhary can make resin copy from a sanded/primed/clean set, then problems should be solved and the ghost could be a resin set. I am also investigating Chinese manufacturers to see if there is one which would be interested to make a toy/plastic kit out of it, and that would be the ideal solution!

  3. I have received all the parts today except for the wings! Damn, I don’t understand how I can forget to print the wings... mind you last time it happened was with the VF-9 cutlass! 

    Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised that there was no major error and only 2-3 minor things to fix. 

    The ghost X-9 doesn’t look that nice in black, but will you believe me if I tell you that this mech Is amongst the sexiest ones.

    Thanks for the feedback folks I really appreciate it! The plan is to make these prints to see the fit and finish of things, try to overcome what the lineart shows vs how real life ain't gonna let you do it,  clean up and refine them,  then send them of to a 3d printing service. I could post process these but I'll stew over it a bit before I decide whether I want to or not.

    That's exactly what I was thinking, your printer is rough but it helps building something accurate, then when you are done with the global shapes, you can add as many details as the printing service will be able to render then print it! This is such a nice time where anyone is capable of making its dream come true :D Love 3D printing!
