made some more progress..

more parts are done... i can hardly contain myself with all the detail im gonna add to this one....

ok yet another update now again these next parts shouldnt pose ant problems... _______________________________________________________________________________________ these next parts could be trouble for you guys.... the problem is in the paper.... especially thick paper! when you bevel the paper before a fold you actually add a little width to the piece you are folding, and the bottom piece (white part) has more folds and several parts in the width than the top part (blue) it boils down to the two parts dont fit together in the width!!! Remember to compensate for that!!! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ now the front of the macross cannon is pretty straight forward.... next ones also shouldnt pose any problems... more to come soon!

dang i really hate that i used a Laser printer for this.... now these are pretty strait forward too... now the Gunsight 1 or Bridge im not to fond of, my preference would be a bit slimmer bridge... the parts though are pretty easy to assemble... now the Battlefield scanner disc is just easy to add some more "flesh" too just add some cardboard in between the 2 disc pieces...

i will take these into account!

Well for The "cardstock" hmmm The paper i buy is Called 250 gram paper... Now this is European measurement... Hope that helps Later when I get home from work, I could go into more detail about strength and weaknesses of different paper thickness

i need to see the finished parts before i decide on anything like that.... now i did learn alot from my previous build... and can be even smarter about it with a possible transformation, however this is a big fella, so ill need to have the insides filled with something which is easy to work with... so ill be trying some different solutions.... perhaps expanding foam... but only if i can figure out how to control it somewhat! ill definitely us magnets again for various parts.... however they are gonna be alot bigger!!!

now lets continue! a bit more progress... what i mean about buffer is having put both sides on first then glue the front last to make sure everything is in level cause it can easily twist.... i managed to correct my mistake... cause my front did skew abit... nothing a knife and superglue couldn't fix though but dang this is gonna be big

just edited first post with more images of my tools and added some that i forgot also a size comparison

ok guys ive started the new build thread..... link is in my signature down below

As promised ill be starting the ok im using a Tamiya Modellers Knife, Metal Ruler, adhesive lacquer, syringe w/ blunt needle, Cutting Mat, tweezers, cyanoacrylate Thin (Super glue), a dull needle or similar, and a pair of scissors for rough cutting. the syringe is for easy application and dosage of the glue of cause it doesnt have to Tamiya any model knife can be used, in the end its what you feel most comfortable with. now the super glue is not a must... but i find it very useful in certain situations! the needle is for bevel the paper on foldlines...(if u have absolute no clue as to what i just wrote, tell me and ill post a video of it) now first up, a little fun fact: These are in scale!! and remember: to those of you out there who is also building this model, ask me if u have any trouble with this build... or if you feel that i havent explained a troublesome part, thoroughly enough! what i did firstly was to scan the pages from the original magazine and scale them up from A4 to A3 which changes the size from 50 cm in length to 75 cm thats why it seems so big on my cutting mat, just an info so you dont get confused ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ok here we go! First some simple parts should be straight foreward now this bigger piece, its important to start glueing the big flaps first, to make sure they lineup with the panelines. a friend of mine could not figure out how the next big piece would fit together, it actually to me a couple of glances.. the need to be seperated first this is it for today.....

LOL!! i was planning to have it upscaled to A3 papersize which would make the scale around 1/1600 and the model would be around 75cm in lenght

Cutting knife w/ extra blades, paper glue or my preffered adhesive laquer... Well if u can wait a couple of days.... I'll cover all u need to know in a build thread... Also this isn't my first TV SDF-1 made out of paper

ok my copy arrived earlyer this day.... give me some time to prepare for show and tell ill cover tools, glues and touchups also handling of difficult areas and strengthening

i bought it from amazon japan, and ill recieve it soon and i thought i would start a thread with this build if anyone is interested in me to do show and tell!

yea hes gonna be massive, i weren't expecting him to be this big and with all the details im gonna add to him.... its gonna take some time!

made some progress....

Yes im gonna seal, prime, paint and then seal again... My mom and grandma came to visit and my grandma paused by The door for 3 seconds when she saw it
