Knight26 Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 WOW, the detail on this cockpit is gorgeous. If you ever make STLs of these...

Olitech Industries Posted March 8, 2020 Author Posted March 8, 2020 Ok we need to do this, but at 1080p so we can play it on the main mfd: https://mobile.twitter.com/6jiro1/status/1235913971015626758?s=20
Bolt Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 Once someone makes this into physical, that will surely happen. Can't say it enough, amazing work you're doing

Olitech Industries Posted March 9, 2020 Author Posted March 9, 2020 More WIP detail work on the throttle elbow for scale. And some fake mechanisms inside.
Olitech Industries Posted March 12, 2020 Author Posted March 12, 2020 Refined it further. Simplified like the drawing. I felt it needed more Macross.
Olitech Industries Posted March 12, 2020 Author Posted March 12, 2020 Spy shots of the assembled part.

Olitech Industries Posted March 12, 2020 Author Posted March 12, 2020 Crap. Going to need a bigger shop.

Knight26 Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 IF you don't mind me asking, what is your setup? System, software, etc...

Olitech Industries Posted March 16, 2020 Author Posted March 16, 2020 Update to the throttle quad base plate. Interesting mix curves and edges. I like this shape. Ready for detailing.

Olitech Industries Posted March 17, 2020 Author Posted March 17, 2020 More stick-work. Finding the correct proportion/size is tricky without real measurements. Anyone have any references for sizing/dimensions for the controls? Even ballpark would help tremendously. I'm using my best (educated) guesses for most of this.
Olitech Industries Posted March 18, 2020 Author Posted March 18, 2020 The thumb buttons kept bugging me. Detail on the tops were cool, but the form just didn't feel Macross enough. These ones are much better. Will detail them later. Made some cooler knobs for the base plate. Still all placeholders. Hope you're all ok with bokeh!
Olitech Industries Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 Ok since I was fixing the buttons anyway... Better styling on the thrust lever. Looks way more pro now. It was getting to boxy and clumsy-looking. A smidge more ergonomic, and a whole lot sexier. Looks like you wanna hold it now.

Olitech Industries Posted November 23, 2022 Author Posted November 23, 2022 Bumping this thread to let you all know Im still alive. 😃 Can you believe this was my first post? I gotta clean these up, and also the instrument panel; so that I can send the models to Dodiano. He volunteered to make these in 1:1 for real! Physical prototypes!!! Just getting my pesky day job out of the way so that I can continue this jet. Talk soon! O

Rodavan68 Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 Have not visited for a while - Great detail 😲

A great honour to hear from you Sir Rodavan. You’ve been one of my major Macross 3D inspirations for a couple of decades! True story. I always wanted to ask you if you would let me texture/render/animate some of your models, but was always too afraid to ask. I’m good at rendering. 😃 On another note, Alex Villareal says “hi!”.

Dying to continue this, like you wouldn’t believe…so close, yet so far. Things at work have been crazy busy since covid, so just trying to let some dust settle before I jump back into the saddle.
Rodavan Posted September 20, 2024 Posted September 20, 2024 Hi Olitech - Thank you for the kind words - I wish I had more time to model . Unfortunately - I had a bad experience with somebody using my models , so I don't share them anymore - but maybe in the future .... keep up the good work
