I couldn't believe until they arrived, the X-9 received few upgrades! Parked and deployed pictures !
-
Damn I always end up with a few french words slipping in :/

As far as I remember I have been down by the pain a whole day after the removal of mines. I hope chiurgical acts have evolved and you get less pain now! Keep the great work!

I have been thinking about a similar setup. First you can't definitively seal the model with the battery inside because sooner or later you will have to replace it. For the switch I thought of making a 3D printed battery cage with a thin and flexible tab where you can glue a micro magnet. To close this flexible tab acting like a switch, you would need to use an outside magnet too, which would be more or less visible. This is how far I went with this idea. Don't know if it can help for your project! Derex, that falcon looks really great!

Great news! I hope we will see these kits soon on the workbench thread

I am facing a few weak points in the design in small areas involving moving parts or locking mechanism. Which are very difficult to fix compared to other areas. Also the metal parts keep on being rejected by Shapeways team... So at this point, the production run is farther than expected...

first primer layer and everything smooth out nicely.

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.
