arbit Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Darn, for a second there, I thought it was a SDF Southern Cross battle suit. Would love to see a pro go at that kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'm no pro but if I could find some of the old Southern Cross kits, especially the red Bioroid, I would totally take a whack at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arbit Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Getting more balanced lighting now. Note how the stern lights are dim, that's from so-called colored fiber. Doesn't work. Need to stick with clear fiber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 cool lights! Got primary sanding and parts cleanup done for the 1/60 Lancer II, so today we are throwing some primer at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkArchon3000 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Wow! That is a great job on the crab ship! I've always wanted to try weathering an Inbit like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZEOD Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Getting more balanced lighting now. Note how the stern lights are dim, that's from so-called colored fiber. Doesn't work. Need to stick with clear fiber. It looks fine. Mix the coloured with standard and you'll get a more realistic look. Not every view port will be as bright that way.

MechTech Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) I think I have most of the Southern Cross Armor, but no mecha. A couple fo those SC flyers are framed on my wall. That crab looks cool! Get me some butter! The fiber is coming along great Arbit. Just like the doctors say, more fiber is better! And Derex is in the lead for most prolific Macross World Modeller of 2016 (even though most of it has been Star Wars - we still accept you man)! - MT Edited February 15, 2016 by MechTech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the red Bioroid, it's the 1/48 SOL Bioroid Seifried Weiss kit. I started it 14/15 years ago and never completed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZEOD Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Tonights progress. Tomahawk LED Lenses poured for the Beam Cannons and Searchlight. Then test wired to make sure everything works so far. Thats about 1/4 intensity... And primer paint on the nails...

arbit Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Very smooth dremelling. Which tips did you use for that finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZEOD Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Bench drill press and the diamond needle point on the Dremel. The one on the left in the photo. With the Diamond bits you need to have some throw away metal as well, I use an old flat blade screwdriver. you have to run it against the tip every time you get a build up of melted styrene otherwise the accumulated styrene will start making bigger holes and also flinging off and sticking to things on the part. Then if its needed I use the cutter. I then clean things up with an Xacto knife to deburr the holes. You just need to have the dremel on a low speed to chew and not melt and a steady hand to avoid the cutting tip "walking".

ce25254 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I was working on a Lancer (mine is 1/72) also during my holiday break.

ce25254 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 VF-0 work. I'm not awfully concerned about making this one perfect… rather, I'm using it to improve my skills before I build the "priceless" kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
