3D-Brainx Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hello all, I'm starting a new thread to keep think apart and have a proper thread title. I'll post here the progress on the Destroid Tomahawk. Modeling is about half way done. I'll provably take a break before texturing to finish the YF-21, bur, here's what I have so far.

latheboy Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Well done, this is awesome... Mr March, I would take you up on the line art if you're offering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Sure. This is almost everything I have. There's one other piece from one of the "This Is Animation Special" series, but I don't seem to have a scan of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3D-Brainx Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hello Guys! Thanks for the comments. I'm almost done modeling, but I'm having a hard time with the head. The reference is not 100% accurate, or at least it doesn't look like it does. So I'm kind of guessing a little. I'll upload some images soon.

3D-Brainx Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hello! Thanks for the comments! The only part I modified was the head. It's in between the blueprints and Yamato's toy. So, question to you guys. Which color scheme you like the most? I used to think the green one, but now that I'm testing materials, I'm not so sure.

Mr March Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I didn't even know there was a green one. I figured the tan/sand one that was the default was the most widely known. But you should definitely think creatively and build some totally new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinjo Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) The green one is seen in the background in the series and vintage box art has it in green. I suspect the green is to display the Army variant. Edited September 25, 2014 by Zinjo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3D-Brainx Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yamato made both in 1/60 scale. They called them Tan and Olive green. As I said, looking at they toys I like more the green one, I think there is more contrast between the colors. But after testing materials in 3D I'm not so sure. I guess I can do both, it would be just changing the base color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinjo Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Anyone know in which episode the green Tomahawk appears? It was in the one between 1 and 36... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 They didn't appear in the anime. It's just a color variant that Yamato released to double dip on the mold. It's possible that Yamato got the schemes from some Takani art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3D-Brainx Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hello, Guys! I´m at the studio now, but I have an image of the green Tomahawk, not sure from which book it is though. I'll upload it once home. As for thr progress, I'm testing materials, this is what I have so far. I'll like to play a little more with a few things. I'll add some more decals and test some more materials. There is a symbol inside that yellow triangle at the front of the cannon, but I can´t make out what it is from the art I have. If some knows or has an image, please let me know. @Milkautico: No lo tengo en la lista de los "nunca". Pero ya sabes, si viene, va a ser despues varios otros.

MMORefugee Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 What I have just shows the markings as "L" or "R" on their respective sides. I guess destroid pilots and ground crew have trouble telling left from right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMORefugee Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm making a wild guess here: The ship to which the destroid is assigned. Daedalus, Macross, or Prometheus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3D-Brainx Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hello guys! Just a quick update on this. Finished the left arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I really hate models that depict weathering and wear on the corners and edges of the mecha; it looks too realistic and detailed. I also hate the subdued colors and accurate lighting effects; it makes me think this mecha is a real robot. I think you're really going in the wrong direction with this model. I hate renders that look too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
