    Thank you guys very much! Yeah, 9 years to really complete this after some changes in life. There is not much in 1/200 scale so I switched to 1/350th. I've already got most of what I wanted in 1/350th scale. Both here and on YouTube people are asking about a Prometheus or the whole SDF-1. The only way that will happen is if I totally lose my mind or some dude says "here's 2 million to build me one." Note the 2 million! ;-) A 1/350th Daedalus will be very roughly half the size of this build. Parts can be vacuum formed and machined easily. This next build is going to be more digital and CNC cut to save time. In keeping with my style, most of the same functions will still be available. Thanks again guys! Oh, here's the rest of the crated parts. - MT

    Thank you guys! Yes, she's going to a new home. I'm engineering a a 1/350th version to be made as a kit. I've got a class that takes priority. After that I'm back on it.-MT

    Thanks for the updates 505! That is a cool looking kit. I guess you have to slice the valks off the sprue sheet, interesting twist.-MT

    Derex, that came out great! Nyankodevice,that thing is big enough to put by the door and scare salesmen away!-MT

    Sorry for the late reply-lot's going on! Thank you guys VERY MUCH for all your positive feedback! Thank you Shawn, you originally helped me get some of the info over a decade ago! Thank you to those as well leaving great remarks on YouTube! The video has two purposes, finally compile everything into a video (with motion) and hopefully help get me into a new career as professional model maker. An international (un blocked version) is coming up soon. Thank you ALL as well for your encouragement over the years too, it means a lot! Here she is with a crate almost as complicated as she is! - MT

    Looks great Ryuji! I like that color too! Now that I know what it is I'll have to get some. I like your subtle wear on it too.-MT

    Macross II gets a bum rap by some, but I've always loved that design. Awesome job on the upgrades and showing again what can be done with paper!-MT

    He mentions the 1/5000 & 1/8000 kits and even with translation it's hard to tell. Either way, MAD detailing indeed! Breathing new life into an old kit.-MT

    Lot's of cool stuff up here! Too bad I'm working on a class right now :-( MT
  10. MechTech
    Thanks, I'll do another version minus the music!-MT

    !!! FINAL UPDATE TO PROJECT !!! [ X ] CONSTRUCTION [ X ] WIRING [ X ] PAINT Go to the bathroom, get a snack, and enjoy the movie 'cause it's 24 minutes long - what'd you expect after nine years worth of photos and videos!? - MT Video doesn't want to show, will try later.... - MT

    That's cool! I love it and have done a couple myself, one Max and one Hikaru one back in the day. I wore them out, litterally. Thanks for sharing!-MT
  13. MechTech
    Thanks for further info. When I saw the other software was cloud based and "rented" I dropped that idea!-MT
  14. MechTech
    Great idea! I've had similar problems and 4x4mm graphite tubing braced the top great. The shape and form are a nice touch!-MT
  15. MechTech
    Thanks for the update, I keep throwing around getting that kit!-MT
  16. MechTech
    I think Nyankodevice would disagree! Seriously, let us know how the build goes. Coat that sucker with enough lauqer and it will be a plastic model anyhow;-) - MT
  17. MechTech
    We'll be waiting for your great report!-MT

    You gotta print them yourself, it's too easy not to! Just draw them up (I use Corel Draw or even PowerPoint) and then print them. White lettering is the only limitation. Micro Mark sells superior quality papers (white and clear) and even has a set. After printing (inkjet or toner-specify on your order) you just spray a fixative on them-BAM, it's that easy. I've bought from several other distributors with varied results and quality, that's why I say Micro Mark. I even used their papers straight on the Bug Eye and Daedalus. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss more, seriously, its easy to do!-MT

    Moto bene! I love the rare subject and have never seen it before.-MT

    I was thinking the same thing. Ebay has a 4 valk set, VF-1A/J/S right now for $45 plus shipping. I had the set and liked it. They're anime style versus line art accurate (big hands and feet), but cool all the same.-MT

    The Durandal looks great! It's cool to see some pickles underway. The squareness of the capital ship makes me want to modify the one I have-if I ever get around to it!-MT
  22. MechTech
    Looks cool. Thanks for sharing about inventor fusion, I'm contemplating doing some CAD/CAM parts myself.-MT
  23. MechTech
    So like when the pilots quickly run to their planes do they still yell out "scramble, scramble!"? Seriously, it looks great!-MT
  24. MechTech
    Love the helmet 505th! Vibrant colors.-MT
  25. MechTech
    Thank you very much guys! By the grace of God this one went together easier than the Daealus. It won't walk the dog, but it scares the turtle!!!-MT
