Convectuoso Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Thanks! That VF2-SS looks like a fun build! Thanks. I've been wondering if it may be better to paint some details instead of using the included stickers. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arbit Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) I learned this next step of programming faster than I expected: Controlling the sweep speed and programming multiple activities. Edited October 2, 2016 by arbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Love the motorized turret! Are you going to do sound effects in the base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbit Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Love the motorized turret! Are you going to do sound effects in the base? Thanks. I definitely planned sound effects from the beginning, but I haven't solved it yet. Lots to learn. The cool thing about Arduino is you can finish the model and re-program effects later without opening it up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joscasle Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 My two VF-11B Thunderbolts. Super a custom schema, vanilla 11 Isamu's bird. I will try to start with the decals soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arbit Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I bought a sound pack from a movie editing site for Weapons both real and scifi if you want any The sound effects for the barrels in the original Yamato TV series are legendary. I would use those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) That looks great Arbit! That will look great when completed. I have the 1/350th Yamato I'm waiting on some time to build, but I think yours will end up better. Those Thunderbolts look really good Joscasle. Nice n clean - at least for now. - MT Edited October 3, 2016 by MechTech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see how it goes DSC_0314.JPG Good news for you, unlike 19 years ago, you can learn anything on Youtube! That looks great Arbit! That will look great when completed.

Nice n clean - at least for now. - MT Thanks MechTech, but don't bet on it, considering I cant really paint very well! At 1/350 you could go crazy with the custom electronics. Show us what you can do! Edited October 3, 2016 by arbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 TomyTec VF-1A 1/144. No paint, very little glue, no panel lines. Great little kits! They really nailed fighter mode! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechTech Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thanks for posting that Derex! It gives better perspective of their size. Just like clothes, not everybody uses the same sizes or scales the same making you have to try stuff on or open up a model box. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZEOD Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Flip it over, flip it over! Well, after getting most of the kitchen area built and then installing all the cabinetry I have been allowed to get back to modelling while we wait for the splash backs to be cut Todays mission...

NZEOD Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) I built it.. and am still building and creating throughout the house so she tolerates my mess and habits. Especially when she has to sleep next to me and I apparently yell out section fire control commands in my sleep some nights. That said she knows the gunsafe codes and wouldn't hesitate to open it should I leave paint, glue, knife cuts or sand paper marks on the bench top...
