MechTech Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 WOW! LOTS of cool builds going on! I've been too busy to post lately. Just to highlight: @arbitAWESOME sculpts and the painted bridge crew NEVER disappoints! The new sculpts look great to include the Capn's pipe in hand! @bzwacks Welcome aboard! AWESOME sculpt and rendering of the SDF-1! Are you doing that in ABS? If so, Acetone is an awesome and cheap cement for it - you're gonna need a lot! - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been 3D printing for quite a while, but have recently started applying it to my Macross hobbys. This is my current build. It's my take on the SDF-1 DYRL version.

Thom Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) The arms of the Pegasus are glued into place, but there are some gaps to fill, seeing how they have been moved from their original positions. I have plenty of scrap plastic to fill those! But before then, I needed to get the parts for the arm faces done up. Moebius left them flat rather than making some cover pieces, but Paragraphix has a good set, though quite flat. The Shapeways alternative looks better, but that is too price, esp as I'll need two sets. So beefed up the PE with plastic backing, some misc parts to make it a little more 3D and then the resin magic started. The first pull is pretty good. There are a couple of air bubbles to contend with, but that should be easy. Now I need to cast a second set, and maybe a third if I need it, who knows?!

MechTech Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 @derex3592 The next step is to ask your wife if she wants to go to the "Submarine races." No, you can't see them. It's an OLD attempt as a make out trick🤣 @Thom Those mods and details are looking great! Your effort is definitely going to make that an awesome build. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was bored...🤔 🙄 😂 I give up....Pressin on! My lady isn’t into older movies or anime or absurd B movies, so there’s certain things I watch when she’s not around. There are things that we do like watching together and she has a few shows that she watches when I’m not around. Sometimes there will be a movie or show that I think she’ll love and she’s just not interested. And sometimes it’s the other way around. Just don’t get too disappointed when things aren’t a match and remember that it’s only entertainment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 @Big s Yeh, I hear you man, she likes oooolder stuff and I'm a kid of the 80's/90's. when (as everyone here KNOWS, ALL the BEST stuff was made!!!) But we do watch TV shows together, Star Trek TNG, she LOVED DS-9/Breaking Bad/LOST and now we're about half way through Better Call Saul. She loves that too. Anywhooo...good advice! Reliant final pics when I get a chance later tonight or maybe tomorrow. Just gotta finish up the stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad once build an RC model boat from old cardboard and basically drenched it in clear lacquer color to make it waterproof. It worked! Unfortunately it tipped over due to a large wave and sank, but hey, that was the risk of RC boats in the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you know, the legs are pretty long in the line art. That is what they call "superhero legs". Proportionally too long legs for the characters in comics and mangas. Just look at hand drawn females and such. It is just over the top. It is troublesome to draw men with realistic shorter legs. The characters look really weird then. You can either choose the manga/comic style and keep the long legs, or do realistic style but shorten the legs. The inbetween causes the uncanny valley to trigger and something seems off all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
