Everthing I model is in Rhino or Solid Edge ( learning Maya), so you can have Iges , stl or step or 3dm All my models that is part of the main body, have panel lines added , I will look and see if I can find the models with out pannel lines. Every body panel started as a solid , the idea was to create stl files then grow each panel and build the valk like a "jig saw" each panel seperate , my own version of a model kit. The cost killed that idea ! I have also done a nice glaug , which would "relatively" easy to create cnc parts for. Which cnc machine do you use , I have been contemplating getting a small Sherline 3axis mill to make small moulds . As always if you don't earn dollars these "things" tend to be hellishly expensive. If you want the just cockpit let me know.I have devided the into sections , nurb files tend to get big if add a lot of detail.

Nicely done - LTSO !

Has anybody used a weathering technique , that uses chalk ( not oily stuff) You create a very fine chalk powder then , brush on , excess is wiped of with damp cloth, then sealed ? I want to try it on a VF-1a I bought a few months ago?

Got nurbs models , what do you need. Let's talk

I like that cockpit Dan ! I' ll think on the "shared" model thing , good idea , but planning nightmare. We all do it differently , level of detail , method and "tools" , it's like finger prints - each person is unique. Still .... it might be possible!

Thanks ! With all my other small projects, I have decided to do a Queadlunn next , I am collecting references at the moment so if you have any good ones post em please.

Thanks !!! DAT - Render that thing !! Have anybody got nice 3 view scan of the vf-0 yet ?

Glad to see the forum going again! Define sick....

I have added some markings - Just a few ! Almost complete -- OOPS ! - yes the guns is hanging on by sky hooks

Hi I have added some decal , I didn't add all of them just the minium as I like it . ZorClone - I will do one for u , just say what back ground colour you like . Maybe next well add some weathering. Mechmaster - As for borrowing time ? ..... We have a saying " I'm so broke I can't even pay attention"

Thanks guys ! Mechmaster - bring it on ! Drew - I have to agree on the red feet , I'll chnage it for the next post. I have got some more info from the guys in the model kit forum - I'll have to make some changes ! If you got a picture or a model of enemy mecha post it here.

Thanks guys ! mbs357 - the pictures sure helps -I'll have to change the model now ! The weathering on that Glaug is awsome! Grayson72 - thanks for the offer but I have got a good scan from tetsujin - If have started using with them already. You don't have something for a Queadlunn Rau? That's the next model I am going to do.

Thanks tetsujin ! Just what I needed. Would there be a big difference between decal from one company to the next? I would still like to see your info ewilen. Thanks

If there is somebody with scan or pictures with nice detail of the markings please post them here ! Thanks

Nearly finished just need more detail on the markings Let me bore you with more picture!

I am busy with a CG Glaug and want to finish of with the markings . There is how ever not a lot of info around on the marking and the info I got is not good enough for the small markings. Has anybody got scans of the glaug's decals they build or a close up picture of the glaug's with the markings in place? If you got you can post them here or in the Fanworks page. I add pictue of "Vapor" Glaug toy. Thanks

Very nice !

It's a nurbs model from Rhino , which was converted into polygons for using Cinema 4D ( Maxon) for render . The render is HDRI method . I use 2 products for modeling Rhino - Solid Edge . I always start in Rhino with a nurbs model ,if I have a since simple object I import it into Solid Edge as step file and build onto it. If it doesn't look right it's a simple matter of changing the dimensions and using the parametrics in Solid Edge. Nurbs modeling takes a bit longer than polygon modeling but it give lots more control and if you combine it with a solid modeler like Solid Edge , you can build the "base objects" and start adding very quickly.

WIP Added a few things - still lots to do ! Decided to do less shiny render this time around - Has anybody got info ( reference) on the Queadlunn - Rua - all info welcome Thanks

I might get it right in a month or 2 ...........

OK I goofed ! Here the right picture

So I goofed Nothing a lunch hour can't fix

I been trying to learn new rendering types This render took 1/2 hours , it's and old model with many mistakes by the result looks ... I hope you like it , I used a HDRI image with global illumination. Tell me what you think about the effect. ( Maybe I shoud post this in the model kit building forum ) Mod ( Sorry for the big image)

Cool Dude !

Nice drawing >EXO< ! You must do some more. Here is a pic of what happened to my Gualg on the weekend - Still lots to do , but it's starting to look like nice
