I let a GT6N-ZR Tram in H0 (1/87) be printed at shapeways. Got the order on monday. But there still was alot of supporting wax on it and it smelled weird. So today in the lab, I putted it in into the ultrasonic washer. did it three times until everything went finally off. I will ground it as soon as possible. Later I will build an electric motor into it, so it can actually drive Here 2 pictures:

A good point you've got there. But I was working around with Macross M3 to check out the most stuff for the VF-14. I'd like to record the transformation animation so you could see it with your own eyes. In Macross M3 (in game) the Gun-Pod isn't mounted externally. But if the official docs say it is on the outside, I'll believe that. Is there any information about where it is mounted? Be carefull, the views I created are kinda inaccurate. I'm currently working on better ones because I wanted to create a high detail VF-14 myself too. When I'm done with the more accurate views I'll give them to you, so you can get the best results.

Looks like he is using the views I created from my papercraft version of the VF-14. Hope it is usefull. I've been researching around alot when I made the VF-14 papercraft. So I can help you out a little. The Gunpod is mostly the same like the one of the VF-17. It is stored in the "right leg" of the VF-14 (according to Macross M3 transformation animation). If there is anything you want to know, just ask me.

Yup, but I don't have much time, so it will take a while. The cool thing about this: I will design it, so it can be 3D printed at shapeways in high frosted detail. Muhahahahahahahahahahah The landing gear of the VF-14 will be crazy to make, as there is no known footage of a VF-14 with landingbay open. That is just awesome

Great work. I'm currently working on a high detailed version of the VF-9 and the VF-14.

Still nice seeing people building my stuff. I need to get into my papercraft works again, there is still alot of stuff I need to finish. But there is not much time ...

HAHAHAHHAHAHHA ... I loled

aw man ... reminds me to finish my SV-51 nora :0

I don't want to be a grammar-nazi in here (which is kinda weird, because I'm native german) but it is "VF-22 Sturmvogel" and not "Sturmvögel". "Vögel"(birds) is the plural version of the word "Vogel"(bird). One Vogel Two Vögel get it?

haha, cool, did the same with an Italeri 1/72 F-14D

you're right ... currently building around on my nora type SV-51. bigger then some 1/48 models I have

Woah Ivanov type haven't thought the VF-11 was this small... nice build btw so far

Nice SDF-1 Masked the SV-51y cockpit today and colored it ... wasn't easy with my giant fingers. Here some pics: Masking Airbrushing Unmasking hurr hurr, kinda falling in love with this plane now hehe Need to color the gearbays, intakes and exhaust, then it is time for washing and applying decals. After that complete assembly. Edit: Here a little stick together

nice, I like the slight purple touch

Awesome

first coloring done, some details will be added soon. After that glossy clear coating

Did some heavy preshading on my SV-51y today Need to mix the maincolor soon, muhahaha

Holy! This is way beyond awesome

Started my work on the SV-51y, this thing nearly is building on its own. muhahahahaha

haha, lol I wipe dust about every 6 month, because I'm lazy Still waiting for my Mr. Color order to build the SV-51y.

no, both are Italeri Kits. They are really cheap over here in german, about 9€ each.

the hornet is just a cheap Revell modelkit that I use to check out some alternate building methods and coloring. The SV-51 will be colored in Nora-scheme. I'm not that much of a customizer. The only custom things I did were those two things: The F-14 was a cheap Italeri kit I "modded" into a Macross Zero F-14 with redundant pilots from two of my VF-0 kits. The VF-1 was a normal Hasegawa Hikaru VF-1A. But I did another paintjob on it. Both were done without Airbrush, so they look a bit messy. Pre-ordered two of those Hasegawa VF-11, so I can do a custom-paint. Thought about VF-X II scheme

Okay, the other one was closed, so we need to start a new one. Current build and next build in one picture

I think I was just wetting myself

That actually looks like the AMT/Ertl Snowspeeder. When I was younger I had build 3 of them. But I wasn't really satisfied with them, so I had some fun with them on new years eve
