Dear All, NOW THIS KIT IS READY FOR GRAB HERE!! Project complete! ****************************************************************** Dear All, Sorry for letting you wait so long. Today I finally got this kit and here are some pictures of the battroid mode. Generally, Shapeways did a very good job, the resolution is indeed up to 0.1 mm, as they claimed. Another good thing is my design should be OK to give the converted VF-1E a good looking. However, the accuracy is not as good as I expected. If later on you got the kit, you need to put a little time on a slight sanding. I spent 1.5 to 2 hours to do it to assemble the kit together. Pictures for three modes are updated here! I am doing a final trimming on 3 parts: 1) enlengthen the top engine by 3%, 2) enlarge the top dome by 3.5%, and 3) simplify the arm connection. Thanks for your support. IS ************************************************************ Hi Team, Say hello to everybody here! Nice to find this lovely place for macross fans. This is first post, and what I am bringing here is my custom kit design, named VF-1E. Basically, it can be considered as a single-seat VE-1 version. My aim is to make this kit plug-in-and-play for 1/48 line. Totally 27 components included. Pictures shown in the CAD design GUI are given below. Now 1 prototype is being printed in shapeways. In about one week time I will share with you the pictures on the real thing. I am also doing some fine tuning to minimize the material without lossing any solidity. Any suggestions for improving it are greatly welcome. IS Big picture Shapeways picture (printable version)
