Ha you are mentionning Sharon, I was wondering of making one Sharon in its computer form and make it enter into the drone as a form of pilot, but I thought it was too "off" from the official version where Sharon just hack into the drone control software

Thanks all! Meanwhile, if you think of a feature or possible upgrade, let me know. This is now or for the next revision

They should, first reason is because I prefer the x-9 without the pack

There has been a lot going on the model, half of it is now "printable". Not a lot of the work is visible but still for the expert eyes, here you go !

Who knows this is going to be the new "VF-25F renewal": unexpectably better than anticipated with low availability.

A cheaper method is to use ceramic material to 3D print it then make a mold from it. This method is used by cosplayers generally for armor parts etc

If only shapeways could cheaply print these parts ... The parts are coming out really nicely!

They are coming, hopefully with Jasonc's help. The 3D model is not yet finished yet btw, because I am optimizing them for recasting and a lot of details to finish

Thanks! The paintwork is made with 2 brushes, really basic: I made a mix of light brown and grey. I began with the lighter shade with the bigger brush, then I throw a few strike of darker before taking the smaller brush and I make a wash with the remaining paint

I didn't like the hands coming with the Yamato version. Hopefully they could at least fix that and give smaller articulated hands that could transform

That's a tad too big for my taste! In such big projects, I have been wondering about a 1/60 vajra from frontier, perhaps my next big plan, depends on what Macross delta shows us!

Got some time this week, I think I will tone down a little the paint before sealing it.

They look great! I can feel them already

They should, and they will almost match, but in this picture there is the lower portion of the supers that is not done / shown.

The biggest issue however is time! I would love to finish it faster detailling slowly

Got some time this weekend to add the outside red layer, still the brown/light grey layers to go

Lately that was the wings colliding with the supers. According to the files the wing should rotate on the sides of the main body, which is just impossible when the super are equipped considering the shape from the front view. But there is this picture where the X-9 is launching from the pod with supers and wings retracted. Btw almost found a solution, but I have to trick a bit on the lines to make everything working.

When I see the result, I would love to know someone here to paint my stuff!

Thank you! Still this design is giving me some hard time, so much anime magic everywhere that every line becomes a challenge

Hi Jasonc, I have been looking on HLJ, Ebay and Amazon but couldn't find any tire that would fit. In fact I could find only rubber tires for RC cars or resin tiles for detailing kits. If you know where I can find these let me know!

testing the fluo pink paint with UV torch. It is quiet nice even in the dark.

working on supers and retractable wings right now

I was telling myself that Arcadia bought too much of this 0D blue... Lol
