jardann Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I think both front and back are the same width. There is a small spacer like a hitch part in the middle that keeps the front and back seperated by a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahiachris Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) Hi. Everyone that are interested in this post may be waiting for the update on the centipede truck. But to be honest it is still far from finish. During the time of waiting for duplicate part to be cast by my caster, I'd started another project which is the articulate buggy. That is still in the development stage. As for now another project is almost finish and it will be prime next week and will be send to the caster. It is a electrical supply truck of the ground crew in 1/72 debut in the first few TV episodes. Enjoy the pics.

MaveRick Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 looking great dude! keep it up.. any plans of doing it in 1/60 or better yet 1/48? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahiachris Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 looking great dude! keep it up.. any plans of doing it in 1/60 or better yet 1/48? May be will do the 1/48 and the 1/60 since I now have the needed lineart. I'll be able to enlarge it to other scales. But that will depend on the demand because I don't collect Macross of that scale.

ahiachris Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Almost finished my next project and it is the APC of the TV series. Will upload more detailed pictures tomorrow. Haven't prime the kit with primers and it wasn't sent to my caster yet so there's no price range of it. Anyone interested?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahiachris Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 I'm interested too. Any news about the Centipede? No update on the Centepede yet. Since my resin casting friends will be very busy making copies of the resin kits that they bought at the WonderFestival and the coming C3 in Japan. They don't have much time slot for me... I'm focus now in adding details to the Centipede whenever I have the time. Hope that it will come out before Christmas. I think the first release will be the electrical vehicle since the master of all the part are already made. It will come out first then will be the APC. I'll be trying to focus on most of the ground support vehicles in appeared in the SDF. The scale of the vehicles will be 1/72. I might do the tow trucks and the gun pod loader. Do make suggestions on which vehicles that did appear. The following pic is a teaser on the project that will follow the APC more picture of the mysterious vehicle will appear on the next post. Update pics on the AFV as promised: Drawing the layout diagram from linearts and planning the scale of everything. Detail shots of the wheel. The tyre can be detach from the wheel (do hope that my friend can duplicate the fine wheel rim edge). Layout view of the parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahiachris Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 As mentioned on the teaser pic, it is not a cockpit seat but the driver compartment of a forklift appeared in a scene at the factory after the space war. Yes it's also in 1/72 as you can see the comparison pictures that having the Preiser soldier standing beside it. Again the parts layout of the vehicle: Thanks for reading my post.
