Filament? I doubt they used a cheap FDM printer for these. It's more likely you're seeing the voxelization produced by a DLP process, which (despite being inferior to SLA printing) is considerably faster than the alternatives. They'd have to be running multiple printers simultaneously to mass-produce these as it is, and SLA techniques could've set the release back by months. Either way, I'm shocked and disappointed by the results.

Rough-sketching Zentradi markings on the fuselage, to determine the correct size to print the custom logo I made...

Well, Hentai Kamen is definitely over the line for me...

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
tekering replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Do they need money to purchase the publishing rights from Sony? -
I had to see that for myself... and was surprised to discover that last issue had a Japanese scale chart hastily inserted into a panel...!
-
The issue is confused by casting an actress we're used to seeing with blonde hair, dying that hair red to establish a character with a consistent hair color over seven years of movies, and then suddenly portraying her as a blonde. Rationally, we can assume the character has decided to dye her hair blonde, but it's disconcerting... and subconsciously, we're thinking "Did someone forget to dye Scarlett Johansson's hair this time?" I think it was a terrible decision for Infinity War, and apparently it's still causing confusion in Endgame (which is already confusing enough at the story level).

I just can't wrap my head around this. Over forty 1:48 Valkyries displayed on a custom-made flight deck base in fighter mode... ...and only ONE of them with landing gear deployed?

Marvel Studios TV Shows and Animation on Disney+

You mean a sequel to the sequel to the Ewoks movie? -
So, you have three completely different 1:72 VF-4 Valkyrie fighter mode resin garage kits?
-
You can have my Figuarts Ronin, dude. I'll be content with just the Hawkeye. And Boba's still available on Amazon.co.jp.

"Destroyed?" Well, I suppose it gets destroyed eventually... It's just a matter of time, really. In other words, it's a "time thing."

Bolt’s Blt comp entry#1 Neo Grade VF1 Armored Valkyrie
tekering replied to Bolt's topic in The Workshop!
Awesome, Bolt. Looking forward to this one. So, like, is anybody building anything that isn't 1:72...? -
All of 'em, if we're lucky. Anything to help supply equal demand. The Max 1A pre-order madness was... madness.

In the hopes that the "Built It Competition" hosted by @Return To Kit Form exceeds 20 entries ('cause I'm dead-set on getting a 1:72 Norbert Gerard Power Armour kit!), I've decided to devote all my resources to the task... meaning I'm gonna spend the next six months building all three of my Macross resin kits. The third and final entry is the oldest kit, and will definitely prove the most challenging; it's also the only officially-licensed resin kit I own, produced by Hobby Base RETPPU. I bought it nearly 25 years ago, back when Macross Plus was the hottest property in the franchise. And wouldn't you know it, 25 years later, Macross Plus is STILL the hottest property in the franchise.

The second is another Moscato Hobby kit, "Z Alien Commander Kamujin." This one I'll be making into an action figure, with articulated joints. Stay tuned!

When it comes to this scale, nobody nails the likenesses like Bandai.
-
So, Amazon immediately sent me a replacement... ...and I'm happy to say it's a major improvement. With proper tabs on the wings this time, everything locks up securely in the back... No glue residue on the surface this time around, and the joints in the right arm are now strong enough to handle the weight of the gun. However, there are some unique problems with the new one as well, like that stress mark on the protruding peg... ...and, while much less greasy overall, there's still a significant amount of oil on the thighs. Still, it's good to know they aren't all garbage.

If it's printed with a decent SLA printer, it'll be smooth as glass. Liquid resin has come a helluva long way in the last few years. Check out the curves on this 3D-printed model, for example: There's more detail present than can even be seen with the naked eye!

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
tekering replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
When it comes to character likeness on 1:12 scale figures, Bandai continues to raise the bar: Wow...! Thanks, guys! It's still a work-in-progress -- and the only tank I've ever attempted -- but your support is much appreciated. Oh, and by the way, Kuma... Photographing 'Bee outside, layered on top of the letterbox framing? That's some next-level sh*t right there, Boss.

I'm really glad I caught this on the big screen, in a packed theatre; audience reactions were a big part of the experience for me. And Thor being played for laughs is SOP since Ragnarok... and isn't a jokey Guardians of the Galaxy vibe better for Thor than a stone-faced Winter Soldier vibe?
-
Yeah, but any attempt to paint the face at that scale would undoubtably result in something much creepier.
