Whoaa this head is really nice! I don't understand why Macross the Ride is still not exploited by a Toy company

Thank you all, this forum is an amazing place to gather ralents and anyone who wants to participate can help. I wouldn't have made it that far alone that's for sure! There is still a lot to do until this X-9 is done, but now the toughest part is behind us!

Most parts came through and perfectly fit. I got rejected the metallic parts, I fixed their models and am waiting for the new ones, hopefully they come out nicely this time. Additionally I am not very happy with the stand adapter, I will try to figure something out and fixing a few other thing if possible Pretty happy with the overall result though! I hope you will enjoy the first assembly as much as I did

I don't think the gunpod is thin enough to fit centered under the vf-4g on its wheels.

Very inspiring Derex! I am testing the lights tonight, and even if they are totally gadget I really like them!

Tamyia Priner sets in 24h, second layer is smoother. This model will need another polishing session before painting.
-
I'm holding my breath. Btw is it the last mold remaining to be done?
-
Getting first prime layer tonight on 1:60 Ozma's!

Indeed the head need painting, I am going with light brown all over it with small drops of glowing resin in different colors. So far I made the eye in glowing blue, I need to add glowing green and glowing red resin next time I make an epoxy mix. Then I would paint the rest with classic paint. Not finished yet, so I mainly keep the head closed for the display

Well I thought it was the correct word for decals. What is the real meaning of "tampo" then ?
-
I don't understand, I used tamyia "fine white" primer first then brushed the fluorescent paint over it. So before the paint it was white. The paint itself is fluo pink, much like a stabilo/highlighter pen. If you light it with uv light, it goes bright pink then in the dark it glows dimmer and dimmer orange.

I can't wait to see one finished and fully tampoed

I could tell a lot of things were going on, keeping you busy. Take your time and enjoy being the first to handle the kit!

I used a basic system. Each super parts is made of 3 parts: the red and brown ones will be recasted in resin and the third (yellow one) needed to be highly flexible then it would be 3D printed directly from shapeways. I made this part partly hidden so it can even be printed in white. But it can also be printed in red. To assemble the super, you just got to screw the small yellow part into the brown (top part), with the red in between the two. The super should not be able to be snapped in two once they are assembled and if they do, that won't bother me either that much. But the top part would be slightly able to move and rotate to make the hooking lever enter into a hole, then you close the front of the super part, with the yellow tab moving inside the air intakes. To remove the the super, that would be as simple as 1) pull up the front of the brown part, 2) then let it rotate to free the backside hook 3) then pull out the super.

I had to tell you that the 12-knobs pack design have been rejected by Shapeways team in Netherlands. You can still update it and double check using the integrated 3D tool that everything is bright green. If you update it soon Then everyone could make a new order and add it to the original order to still have shipping free. If you can't no worry, that would be for next order!

In fact the VF-4G comes with 2 sets of hands: the one which was mounted was tiny and could fit into the forearms BUT they are fixed in closed fist position. The other set is fully articulated and is comparable in size to the VF-1 hands BUT this set cannot be folded into the forearm for the trnasformation back to Fighter mode. The difference is that the VF-4G hands come with a ball attachment compared to the VF-1 tab.
-
I recently made a new version of these VF-4G hands (V5) and would probably have them recasted if they are great.
