Oh man! This is where the fun begins! This is going to be awesome. Martin

Hi people! Finally an update. I had some very buisy weeks latey. Here are some pics of the prometheus as it is today. I've been working on details mostly and still have a lot to do. Finished the elevators and lot of details on the sides. I hope you like it. Martin

Hey! Finally back with an update. Thanx everybody for the compliments. Well, I ended up the "fingers" of he ship after make 3 different sets of them, wider, longer, etc. always based on how they looked on the lineart. In the end, I decided for the ones it has (of course ) [attachmentid=40615] In this top view, really doesn't look good for me the way they look in ths pic. Maybe is the poor light I tooked the pics with. [attachmentid=40616] This is the side view (look curved on the top, took weird photos today ) [attachmentid=40617] [attachmentid=40618] This last 2 are from the bow. Now, I'm finally moving to the deatil. This will be the fun. Martin

Those videos are amazing, it's looking very cool. Can't wait to see the construction of the superstructure and all the interior details. Martin

You really scared me! I check it and it's OK. It's just the pic Since I found no lineart detail on the engine pods, I was thinking on make them the way you did on the Daedalus. They look pretty cool. The only scribing I think I'll make on the deck are the runways of the steam catapults and paint everything else. My idea is to add as much detail as possible as could be made in 1/1000. As for the aircraft, I'm still considering it. I plann on make the SDF-1 some day and I really don't know if it worth that particular detail, as they'll be kind of lost in contrast with the rest of the model. Martin

Finally some pics! These are of the Prometheus as it is today. I'll be working on the "fingers" next and then into detail. [attachmentid=39544] [attachmentid=39545] [attachmentid=39546] [attachmentid=39547] OK, that's all for the day, I hope you like it, and thank you all for your comments. Martin

Hi guys! December has been a really buisy month for me, but I have some updates for late today. To Hiriyu: I was thinking on make some kind of BIG coffe table MechTech: I hope the Daedalus is coming right after I finish the Prometheus (okay, not "right after". I have a 1/72 Fokker D VII i want to make like the one of Roy). My work on the Daedalus will be based on your great job , given that you'r managing the same measurements (not scale ) than I do, so I will ask you for help when start my project. Martin

That's amazing! You could really make a mass production of them for all of our trees

UPDATE! These days I've been working on the upper hull section and it get me more work than anticipated. [attachmentid=38881] Here is a pic of the ship as it is now. Still a lot of work to do, but taking the Prometheus shape [attachmentid=38882] Partial front view from the bow. [attachmentid=38883] Here is a view from the stern. The problem I had here was that the piece that attaches to the Macross had to be bigger than the lineart. There was no way to keep it under the end of the flight deck, so I'll have to think after what use these part could have. [attachmentid=38884] This is a detail of those "holes" that are present on the lineart and we never know what they are. I observed on the Miyatake and on the TIAS artbook that you can see partialy the sctructure thru those "holes" so after looking for any piece with tiny details I added some 1/72 planes spare parts and gave it a more "real look" to the ship. Well, I hope U like it the way it's going. Martin

Yes, I didn't expected that one, looks like there will be some VF-0 LINK Martin EDIT: looking better, maybe they are all VF-1. We'll have to wait to a better pic

Okay people, new update! I finished the shape of the hull and now I'll start with the upper hull. The pics: The hull with the flight deck, the hull with the flight deck presented and a really bad pic of the bow with the hangar bay [attachmentid=38334] [attachmentid=38335] [attachmentid=38336] Martin

That's really amazing! Congratulations! Martin

Okay, here is a comparision picture of the model in progress with the blueprints. I'll start tomorrow with the completition of the bow and the stern. Martin[attachmentid=37892]

That's the center hull. It goes up almost to the flight deck level. I'll se if I can post a pic with the schematic tomorrow. Martin

Okay people, here are a few pics of the hull, making the shape of the bow in wood and moving to do the same on the stern. I'll keep you guys informed [attachmentid=37864] [attachmentid=37865]

Thank you MechTech! I have to say that your project is one of my inspirations as also are the works of Honneamise and many others. I'm really excited obout this, so I hope to have news soon. Martin

Finally, and after a few years in my head, I'll start this project. It is of course the beginning of what I expect to be the 1/1000 SDF-1. If this one comes out right, will follow the Daedalus. Well, I made some schematics in rough lines that will help me as a guide for the proportion (Note on this: the official large of the Prometheus is 512 meters. After a comparision made with the schematics of the SDF-1, it resulted in 450 meters long, so I take this proportion as the right for this project and not the cannon.) I gathered all the info I could for details and I think I'm OK, except for details on the bridge antennae, wich I think I saw it more detailed on the Macross:DYRL PS1 game openning animation, so if anyone have the artbook of the game and it has lineart of the Prometheus other than the existant on the common books, please send me a PM to tell me if U can provide me with a scan. Well, that's all for the day and I'll keep you guys updated on this. Pics comming as soon as I have anithing material Martin

I think I'll start making the Daedalus and Prometheus in 1/1000 and see how it goes from there. The only thing that bothers me is the resize I'll haveto do to fit the proportion with the SDF-1 (as Mechtech did).

I have the SDF-1 on 1/1000 for like two years now in my head.... but I really can't decide if the DYRL or the TV series Macross... I rememeber somebody recently mentioned the same thing (recently like 4 or 5 months )

Is there any new about if this set will contain a chase figure and wich could it be?

Most people are indiferent when they see my collection (Maybe they prefer not to make a commentary) but the worst I ever had was (when they saw my CM's collection): "If you have so many dolls, you must be a little gay and you don't know it" At that moment, I was so surprised I didn't know what to say. I really don't care right now.
