THOR

I loaded pics from the computer just now...the master measurements were taken from a 1/72 resin kit. I printed most of the parts out in 1/48. Other scales possible. I'll post some of the 1/48 part pics tonight or tomorrow.

looks sinister!

Reply to this topic if you are interested.

$135 + shipping

If I see at least 20 interests, I'll start making molds.

No decals, no base.

Everybody,

I'll be posting prices for landing gear and weapons this weekend, God willing.

Getting computer fixed today!

-THOR

hard drive crashed! new computer on the way. good thing i always back up my work like a true nerd should.

i'll be back in the sadle this week hopefully if all the software installs go well.

i made good progress on the 1/24 landing gear before the crash. need to finish the front gear and all three wells so that they fit with the model.

i'll also post prices for 1/24 weapons.

sorry about the delay!

1/24 landing gear coming along nicely:

the rear gear: made so you fit an aluminum rod down the center for strength

front pic coming soon and prices...

SOLD

since there will be so few wanting missiles/landing gear, i will print the items out for individuals rather than printing a master and making molds and resin copies.

i will try to post the missile & pylon prices up this weekend.

i will also try to to post pics of landing gear from my Solidworks screen. i might have prices too.

lots of work to do this weekend getting ready for casting my 1/48 gerwalk conversion, lancer, and 1/72 syncher cannon...

any chance for a 5X shirt? I'll buy 2-3.

After talking to Mike, he said I can do missiles and landing gear. I need to know who wants them.

Missile Package would include:

12 missiles

4 pylons (3 missiles each)

Later Landing Gear Package: modeled directly from the 1/48 kit

rear landing gear: box, gear, wheel, 2-3 doors

front landing gear box, gear, wheel, 2-3 doors

Who wants them?

sorry i put it in the wrong place...i'll see where it goes on MW so i know in the future. maybe it doesn't belong on this site?

for those who don't know...it's called the synchro cannon in the US and was piloted by Rand for an episode with Sue Graham as the main character. it's a rare and small version of the the main cannon on most capital ships. so basically mount one of these on your ship and let it slice through the bad guys until they say uncle.

"Synchro Cannons

By the Third Robotech War, a new portable reflex cannon called the Synchro Cannon[2] was introduced on Shimakaze-class battlecruisers, and later adopted by the SDF-3 and SDF-4 Izumo. A smaller unit was also hidden on Earth by Sue Graham of the Jupiter Division. The smaller version was used by Rand as a prototype and was destroyed to keep it out of the hands of the Invid in the New Generation episode: Reflex Point."

http://www.kent.net/robotech/weapons/ref/synchro_cannon.shtml

"The Synchro Cannon is the most powerful artillery piece ever designed. Basically, it is a small version of the SDF-3's main cannon mounted on a hover platform. It fires a beam of energy 10 miles long, which utterly destroys everything in its path, no matter the armour."

http://robotech.wikia.com/wiki/Synchro_cannon

The synchro cannon was a type of Reflex weapon based on Shadow technology and fielded by the Robotech Expeditionary Force.

Colonel T.R. Edwards was able to covertly installed a synchro cannon on the Shimakaze-class battle cruiser, Icarus. He revealed this weapon over Optera when by using it to critical damage the Tokugawa, which had been dispatched to hunt him down. (Comic: "Robotech: Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles 2: Retribution")

Added by JrofetaFollowing Edwards use of Shadow technology the Haydonites assisted the REF in developing this technology. A new retrofitted SDF-3 was able to obliterate Edwards on Optera from orbit using its twin syncho cannons. (Comic: "Robotech: Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles 5: The Children of the Shadows")

Other REF ships were also equipped with the syncho cannon including the Garfish-class and the SDF-4. A smaller version was also developed and equipped on some Shadow Beta fighters. (Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles)

A prototype sybchro cannon for use by ground forces was also developed. It was deployed by the REF's Jupiter Division with an advanced scout force sent to Earth prior to the Battle of Reflex Point. However, this weapon was eventually destroyed to prevent it falling into the hands of the Invid. (Robotech: The New Generation: "Reflex Point")

However, the synchro cannon, as with all shadow technology given to the REF was part of an elaborate trap set up by the Haydonites to help facilitate the destruction of the REF. This was revealed shortly after the end of the Third Robotech War when a fleet of Haydonite vessels attacked the REF fleet at Space Station Liberty. Using a disruptor wave the Haydonites were able to initiate an uncontrollable overload sequence in any ship that attempted to fire its synchro cannon, which resulted in the complete destruction of the vessel. (Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles)

The Synchro Cannon is a very high yield direct-fire weapon system designed to attack enemy emplacements and thick mecha concentrations such as those used by the Invid. As such, it is a complement to the Destabilizer weapon systems, which break down Invid force fields, and thus give the Synchro Cannons a clear line of fire. Originally, the specifications asked for a pure particle beam weapon. However, the required firepower/size combination could not be achieved with the then-present technological levels and the cannon was reworked into a fusion-powered plasma cannon, which used twin synchrotrons, and resulted in the nickname of 'Synchro Cannon'.

The Synchro Cannon operates by running a fusion reactor (not unlike those found in fusion turbines) off the protoculture cells. When a shot is fired, a relative large amount of the fusion plasma is drawn from the reactor and injected into a plasma expansion chamber, pre-loaded with a small slug of matter, which is quickly super-heated; this process produces a larger amount of cooler plasma, which can be more easilly handled by the cannon stage. That stage consists out of an ion extractor and divider, which separates the plasma in positive and negative ions. Both stream are then lead to dedicated synchrotrons, which accelerate the matter streams. Both beams are then rejoined in the barrel, and the result is a plasma stream of very high speed and tremendous destructive power.

To the left side of the cannon barrel is the fusion reactor and the matter supply for the plasma cannon; to the right is the cockpit. In the rear of both the cockpit and the powerplant body is one of the propulsion turbofans. The cannon uses a hovercraft undercarriage, on which it can rotate through 360 degrees. This gives the cannon some mobility, but speed is low, terrain clearance is difficult due to the high center of gravity, and the cannon cannot be fired on the move. Consequently, the Synchro Cannon is mostly a heavy support or even a siege weapon rather than an assault cannon. However, the self-propelled cannon lacks any defensive capabilities and relies on other mecha to defend it.

Several of these cannons made it to the Earth's surface during the attack on Reflex Point. However, they were to few in number, and to cumbersome, to have an appreciable impact on the fighting.

90% complete in Solidworks. drawn from as many screen shots i could find.

i need to make it 3d printer friendly and then also, mold friendly...

the next decision will be scale. I can print it in almost any scale...

of course i need to add the muzzle and do some detailing at the back of the gun...

let me know what you think because i had to guess on the cockpit and gun.

...it doesn't get much cooler than this! yeehaw!

just wanted to make sure i'm on the list for this...

way cool!

All are 1/72 resin:

I will ship anywhere.

I will calculate shipping once I have your address.

Paypal only.

Here's what's left...

awesome job Jefuemon!

i hope to have the hands/knees/intakes/legs/backpack done this weekend in the computer and will order stuff in 2 weeks. it'll take another 2 weeks to get the masters. a weekend to make molds and start casting...

awesome! i love that you share with us your thought process. keep up the great work!

Huh,

No interest in 1/48 Gerwalk mode parts?...

Maybe after I cast up some pieces...they will come.

Maybe 1/72 will be more interesting

on my workbench..

awesome!

Trying to make it so you just plug parts into the Hase 1/48 model without having to hack on plastic.

The knee portion will take a few nights to look right.

Here are the 3D bones in Solidworks:

My version of a blended-wing-bomber (for kicks in 1/48)

Let me know what you think about making the leg joint "frozen" rather than moveable (sp?).

awesome! looks like the girls had fun!

ginormous! 15" inches tall when done in battroid? that'll make the beta "ginormous-er"
