JRdesigns Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Hey everyone! We just wanted to share this project with you, to see if there is at least interest in Southern Cross Hovertank. We design 3d models for fun and for personal collections We wanted to know how many people would be interested in a kit? Consider this to be a great opportunity to get a proper Transforming model from the series. We would need 30 confirm orders before we can move on to make this project happen. The modeling process for the model it self will take 1 month and for the transformation another month if all goes well with the test prints. Payment will not be required until we have the model done The kit will have the following features: -built in accordance to original in 3 modes -integrated (full Articulated) ball-joint system and gear system -Materials will be resin and 3D PLA Pre-order deposit will be $180 payment due 9/16/2022 once model is ready 1st 15 people to confirm for the Kit price: $400 + shipping Kit price: $420 + shipping Shipping charges will be determined at a later time.

Knight26 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Your bioroids look pretty sweet. Pretty comparable to @captain america's Are you also working on a VT-1 mod kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRdesigns Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 We are working on the VT-1 model for the old Yamato's which was a request from a friend. Our bioroids are articulated and can pose without taking it apart for a different position. These were our first prototypes. We are working on many other robotech items like the battle Pod's.

We do more of a upscale size to match the old school toys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The waist rotates left n right plus folds forward and elbows rotate inwards. These Bioroids have the open chest that comes with an open cockpit ball and small figure that sit in place inside the bioroid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoryHolmes Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Hovertank = me excited! For the price you're charging, is it just for the 3D files or will you print and ship completed kits out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This design is a rough draft and still needs smoothing out and needs more detail. We have other projects going on besides this one and we are working on what wee have time for and what people have requested to be made. This project is a bit more complicated with being a transforming robot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Going to step in here and ask people to please be careful and do your research. We appreciate new projects from members, but this is a new account, and asking for a $180 deposit with a very limited presence here is always something to consider. Thank you Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
