Yep, I remember them, I was curious to see which paper (white/transparent) and brand you used. I searched for the predator's and also for the reaper's ones. I saw reviews of the 1/72 models and they had very few to none distinctive decals as drones such as electronics trap markings, batteries etc.

We would love few pictures of these! Additionally do you have some pictures of the stickers? This is something I am trying to figure out how to source locally, and I am wondering if I can print it myself on some quality sheets or this is something that must be professionally made?

Another display alternative: the GoPro compatible stand (Shapeways)

Use flat washers to fill the gap, then tighten the gopro bolt and it shouldn't move. -

The attachment on the 0A is the same as the VF-0D, so you need this one: http://www.shapeways.com/product/C53U29SK7/yamato-sv51-and-arcadia-vf-0d-attach Note that this adapter comes in WSF plastic and the hexagon faces need to be slightly pinched with a pair of pliers in order to fit tightly into the hexagon that comes with your 0A. -
I have bought a set of European O-rings, the standard sizes give a shape that is just not doing it: too thin in general. In addition, the wheels would have to be concave to secure the 0-ring in position, which is not a 3D-printer "friendly". I have been speaking with a Russian manufacturer, Chinese ones and I have even been looking into the 1:64 slotcar tires. At this point, it seems complicated to completely revamp the tire design because of the dimensions that would have to be double checked again, but I know what can be done, and I have a set of different size rubbers that can be easily sourced if I ever need to design a wheel again. Thanks Golden Arms

Well the wheel support had to be in metal, then making a great looking tire out of 3D print metal seems challenging. So in my opinion, the smartest way is to go with rubber tires. I have got a great deal with the guy selling me the cars, so in final, compared to the printed parts, the rubber is cheap. I am provisioning enough rubber for 10 ghosts, and I think I could still source a few additional cars if needed.

Here it is completely painted: I took only pictures of it openned since the closed version hasn't changed.

If confirmed I would let you know! I have been ordering random small toy cars from eBay/Amazon and it seems I got a great size match from this one... Still an expensive option but at least one solution.

Currently, we are speaking of 150 usd unpainted, 50$ for painting and 40$ for metal&plastic&rubber wheels. If I am sure of getting 20+ orders, price will drop for sure. I don't know yet price for the clear canopy and the rubber tires. So this is subject to changes.

Sharon is also sexy and deculture! NZEOD, I am making a list of confirmed interested people to see if I can get near the 20 mark. Here mainly, I got also a few in PM. With the ones I got now, it convinced me to work on the current parts and make new parts. For example the 3 wings, the smaller one has even been 3D printed in ultra detail. I still need to work on the inside of these parts if they need to be recast. And I also need to source the rubber tires and the clear part. That's some money that I would throw if I am sure to have some backup. That wasn't a GoPro but a Pentax with a 35mm I offered to my wife for Christmas

Or else

A quick reminder that this project is still looking for investors!

My Ozma's finally arrived this afternoon, from a friend who could paint it decently.

You can make the bits from an old credit card, or any plastic sheets that would be 1mm thick. Shapeways wouldn't allow to print such a small piece of 2mm x 1mm x 1mm

Really nice, I prefer the "cartoon" style over the "realistic" one, but both are great Macross illustrations !

Since I needed high-res UN SPACY kite logos in vector format for the X-9, I made one from scratch in illustrator. As there are so many different versions of the kite logo, I kept the design lines & circles that were used so modifying the logo shape is easier. The colors are based on the X-9 color scheme, so the red is more browny than expected. Available as long as Google drive stays up: ai format: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5ZYBiTIPlbOUFlUaE5pcWhrd3c/view?usp=drivesdk&resourcekey=0-hcHCuIIxYJWytEK4G0LZeQ pdf format: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5ZYBiTIPlbObUEzazZiZjg1MlE/view?usp=drivesdk&resourcekey=0-GL4YuPc2yoF9LDmUAnvHfA Fan Work section seemed much more an appropriate section, but also posted here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=21256#entry1247055

From the album: UN SPACY Kite logo

This 0S is my favorite valk ever: color scheme, head sculpt and massiveness. Thank you Saburo for making so nice pictures of all these valks! My latest phone screensaver: I will insist on the previous requests: if you make a book of these count me in!

That's also my favorite detail of the model. Cool8r was the control aera in the original kit or did you custom made it ?

This fix was so easy at the end that I felt unsatisfied when my YF-19 was assembled back with the wings tight in all 3 positions! I can't believe Arcadia haven't figured it out already... I had disassembled the whole wing but in final, the fix doesn't require any screw removal, you can fix it directly from any mode, because the only thing you need is a 2mm long x 1mm wide x 1 mm high plastic scraps, such as plastic cards, WSF leftovers, etc... First step: With a pencil, write a small mark on the bottom of the wing, to indicate the area where the hole finishes. -This hole was designed to accept the metal arm for High Speed mode position- 2nd step: Take the small scrap of plastic, and glue it over the pencil mark. The plastic scrap should be aligned with the wing short side. Let the superglue dry and THAT'S IT! Fighter mode: Battroid mode: High speed mode:

That's incredible to find a SV-51 Ivanov nowadays.

Get yourself a commissioned painted bird-human head, they deserve it!

Thanks everyone for the support! Just received the new parts for the ghost, all of them are great, so the X-9 is still in progressing. I also received the 38mm scale Sharon. Even before sanding and priming she was so great that I decided to add two versions of it into my shop. I love it displayed with the Ghost, but it can also match the YF-19 or 21 if you feel so!
