mhmm ... I am tempted...

nice!

Was thinking the same here ... we need a Yang Neumann for the back. @arbit you got a new task

@derex3592 & @Rock ah great! thanks a lot - gonna get the uschi stuff Got the trinity 1 + 2 bundle for 19.99€

I need these stencils too ... I have been searching the internet but no luck. Where do you have them from?

@MechTech your stuff could only be more scale, if those little shells were actual life ammo hahahaha

Always feels weird to see it written down as "gray" and not "grey" haha

Ah - only saw this now. Boolean works a lot better in Blender than it does in 3DS. When I use boolean in 3DS it usually kills my meshes in some way or another, so I have to be super careful when going that route. And look at that print! Nice one - I bet the walls are a bit too thin. I had that with my VF-9 and had to redo the wall thickness on my meshes.

I will make more possible guesses for 2024: 1/72 YF-21 with super pack and fold booster 1/72 Max Q-Rau 1/72 Ghost X-9

I looked up the kanjis. So, it has the stand, and the parts for the landing gear included. Nothing to worry about. machine translation is still bad when it comes to Japanese as much is read through context.

oh ... well, that doesn't make much sense. @TMBounty_Hunteroh nice! Might want to get one.

Ah okay - then I misread that. My Japanese is a bit rusty. In the description it says something weird. Reading in context it says a stand is in the kit because the gear is "parked", meaning in the gear bay. Maybe ... I am not sure. Do we have someone around that can try translate that properly?

Oh nice - with a stand! If I get this right, this YF-19 can only be build with gears up? I hope this will be a regular release and not a limited edition release or something.

So many great builds everyone! I cannot comment on them all. here is what I had on the workbench yesterday. My brother wanted a 3D printed Zelda from the newest instalment for his fiancée. I printed it in two sizes. He takes the bigger one. My wife wants to paint the small one and gift it to a friend of us. Lots of sanding and puttying.

Yeah! the other threads never went this far 😮 MKI - 36 pages MKII - 31 pages MKIII - 44 pages

yeah, it looks a bit more detailed compared to the hasegawa one at first. And no - no double build planned. I have to finish some other kits first haha.

Ah yeah, forgot I wanted to do this:

hahahahahahahahhahaha

The hobby boss one? That looks like an awesome kit!

Hey! good job! Panel lines are a PITA. How do you carve them? I manually cut them by hand in 3DS Max.

haha - yeah. That is an issue as well. Atm I have no display space at all. So my finished kits are in the boxes right next to the stash of unbuild kits. There will be some space in the future though. Need to get that wall fixed first.

oh man ... I knew the box will be huge, but ... it is frikken huge :S Here - a comparision to a "normal box". A VF-1A/J/S kit. It will rest now in my stash for all eternity - until I have some time to touch it, together with all the other kits I have. I feel like a small sized hobby shop already. The only bigger box I have is the 1/48 VF-1 Strike/Super Valk. I am running out of space, so I hope there will be no awesome new kits until I can finish some.

Do you post in the starship modeller group on FB as well? I remember seeing a similar build there.

oh wow! this is awesome!

thanks alot @Thom & @MechTech! it is a journey to get this thing done. Next I will focus a bit on the RC innards to make it actually RC. I was waiting for another battery box. The 2x2AA box was to big and bad for balance, so I got two 2AA boxes which I can place in the hull left and right next to the electric engine. This was I get a good balance and the ship won't be able to tip over due to the lower center of gravity. Or at least, in case it tips over, it will turn around itself again. So is the theory...
