The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Xigfrid replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Guys, I need some advices about the GCreations Shuraking Dinobot combiner: After watching Transformers : The last knight, I really want to buy the best dinobots available, and that's when looking for a great Grimock that I came accross that Shuraking combiner. I really love the Combiner look and I am ready to buy them all. But mikeszekely review saying that OP Ex is superior to Gcreation Optimus and that the Gcration have issues tiklles me a bit. Would you think that Gcreations Shuraking Dinobots are great toys? if not the best dinobots out there ? -
You can soak some White Spirit in a kitchen paper and gently apply this to the nose to see if the yellowing goes off. I generally do this to "clean" my Yamatos VF-1 and the paint resists well. Surprisingly every time I think that my yamato had yellowed, it was only "yellow dust" that comes from manipulating/transforming the toy and it disappears after a cleaning.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

I can't imagine what Bandai smoked when they decided to implement a ball joint for a 180° rotation transformation -
Don't worry, ask anything you want to know "how" and I will gladly help. If you are concerned about the assembly, everything is as simple as clipsing the missiles on their pylons, and then clipsing the pylon into the wing tabs.

Making this pose stable should have taken a lot of efforts... Special mention to your tenacity ! -
That's a crazy number of custom cuts! You should have used more standard lengths when possible
-
My fav combo missiles so far
-
My new favorite color is officially light gunmetal aka TS-42. Added the canopy to the PaCSWS-2C.
-
I think I read 5000 unit in premium finish, but not totally sure
-
That's probably a good idea if applied as a thin mist with an airbrush, it can be evenly applied and semi transparent.
-
Lacking inspiration for modeling so I have reader a few reviews and stopped at the Light Metallic Blue TS-54 as a paint base according to this one. also I have been playing with my child and phosphorescent painting and called it the "Tiger shark camo theme"

Lookinggreat standard to me

Please don't make me blush with the guru! I am not By the look of the color and stress applied to the part, I guessed that it was made out of metal, but if it is a plastic part no wonder it breaks easily. For these kind of small articulation ball I would reinforce the arm with an inner metal pin or make the whole thing in metal instead Sorry but I don't have any Hmr, but if it is plastic and large enough to be drilled and pinned, mechaninac's solution would be great
-
If the part is pure metal, you can try to disassemble it completely and bring the 2 parts to your jeweler, he can probably solder them back
-
Absolutely gorgeous photos @Saburo! The last one is also my favorite, does the helmet comes with the figure? It really looks alike the Frontier helmets, in Roy color them though.

Are you planning to print it via shapeways or locally?
-
a little more progress of this week
-
Elvis King version you meant ? Hell yeah, we need the white not white knight Draken before the green ones!

Yamato 1/60 VF-11C replacement hinges. 3D Print?
Xigfrid replied to BluprinT's topic in The Workshop!
Hey guys, keep in mind that even if a modeler wish to help, he won't be able to help until you completely disassemble the broken part and take pictures / measurements / or send the broken part to him. Once you make these steps, modeling the part should be a piece of cake -
Yeah the new material is really a step forward for 3D printing: sharper details than the classic WSF for only an additional 1.00$ i can't wait when they fix the beta test issues and make it available for purchase
-
I really like the Octo's head and torso. I am almost done with the torso too. But the rest of the body and transformation is a nightmare to imagine and model. Taking it as a 3D challenge helps me going on this one... I am really tempted to make a bust only of the octo a picture to grasp the scale
-
Thank you ! @electric indigo you get use to it once installed @pengbuzz is this in scale with your SDF-1?
-
I really like it so far, I just hope that the precision faults were just a bug for early beta tests. The material feels and acts just like WSF, not that easy to sand so but extremely durable and playable like plastic Because you need less sanding, the material really holds well small details. The resolution is 10x less than FUD, I would say that HP Wsf keeps 0.2mm details perfectly visible, where classic WSF would be around 0.5mm. Cost for the moment is the same as WSF+1$. Thank you @slide, and yes this is the one @505thAirborne

the Force is strong in the Octo

With Isamu's help, the cockpit size is validated!
