Very nice! What printer are you using?

An Elegoo Mars 2 Pro.  There are better ones on the market now but I'm still happy with this one.

I broke the parts down more and added the ability to pose.  Running another, more careful print job right now.

First attempt was okay.  I'll need to enhance the panel lines a little.

Setting the tone for the rest of the project.  Might 3d print it this weekend.

I'm going to share this model publicly once I feel okay with it.  That or if I can find a stable collaborative project platform to work on.

I am seriously debating getting out of ACAD, but all my models are in DWG and a pain to convert, and I am such a solid modeller that it will be hard to switch over.   Everyone tells me to go to Blender, but I am hesitant.

That would be a horrible transition.  The workstyle is so different.  I used AutoCAD for ages.  Then Rhinoceros 3d.  At least Rhino 3d is a perpetual license instead of a subscription service.

Wild respect, looks awesome 👍 Blender is one of the programs I have to relearn every few years. Not using it often enough so the UI never… sticks?

The UI seems to have stabilized since version 2.79.  Version 4.0 is coming this November.  That might be a great time to jump back into it. 

After a decade and a half of being blown away by the CG artists here I finally have building my own Valkyrie in Blender.  I'm playing around with proportions of the many modules that make up the craft to try and balance the appeal of each mode.  I may throw in a few new interpretations of my own as I progress.

I don't expect to come close to Olitech's level but his work gives me a high benchmark to strive for.

Your execution on this is amazing!
