got abit more done today..... ^_^

modified the legs so they work on a polycap joint instead, to make room for where the pilot legs goes into..

kinda like exoskeleton pants :blink:

made sure the polycap joint and pilot hip joint, move with each other :ph34r:

Looking awesome and glad to see you're making the missile hatches open! As for the pilot, the only pictures I found just show the waist opening. This one is from the Macross Mecha Manual (shameless plug for one of our members): http://www.macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/queadluun-rau.htm%C2'> I would suspect the pilot's legs go into the mechas legs. I love the way you made that happen! - MT

Thx... Ill stick with the setup I already made....

I just noticed that in the DYRL 1/60 q-rau the pilot had her legs in the backpack...

Incidentally i had to do some calculations, and

Stumbled over something interesting...

This kit is not at scale 1/144...

Instead its around 1/119 -120

And the pilot needs to be around the same size as

A 1/20 figure...

So I'll have to make the pilot bigger -_-

For the anime it's probably correct. That show as awesome as it is had a scale system that made no sense. He regult should be able to fit pilots the height close to the vf1, but in most shots the enemy me ha would only be around waist high.

By th way I love the work here.

pretty much the same conclusion i arrived at B))

a little update...

no need to change the pilot size, she only lacks 4-5 mm...

so im not gonna do more about it...

added some details in the cockpit and more to the underside for the pilot protection..

This is great work! I especially like how you built up the missile pods with movable hatch doors. The paint job is spot on. What green color did you use?

I used these two. 8 parts green and 2 parts grey

Hope this helps🐱

Thanks for the green paint color formula! The missiles in the pods were they from the kit or did you build them? They look correct with the modified missile pod.

in a way they where from the kit....

i used parts from the green sprues to make the missile tips ^_^
