    What do I need to learn in order to 3D print things? Where do I go to learn?

    in The Workshop!

    This is not really hard. I can explain a few steps in detail:

    1) make the general geometry of the dice, 6-side dice would be a cube, pretty easy with any 3D cad software.

    2) draw / write the letters and wolf head on a surface, raise the letter and the head with the cad tool called "push/pull". Then copy paste them on each face of the cube dice.

    3) make a few "push/pull" to create the contouring of each number.

    4) upload it to a 3D printing service that can print in laser sintering metal (Shaepways equivalent would be "steel"), order one.

    5) darken the steel dice with , which ever method you prefer: search google for "steel darkening method"

    6) with a sand paper, clean the extruding numbers and geomtries.

    I am also in for 1 Ivanov. I am really expecting straight wings for this V2, even with a lot of CA glue reinforcement the original one couldn't keep on the weight of the missiles and booster. The cheaper Hasegawa could...

    Whats next for Arcadia?

    Why didn't they release the Cheyenne I together with it, and we would have the scene complete!

    For the future I wish Arcadia don't mess Nora's gold accents. At least this one won't bother us if it got pinkish white :lol:

    lol very creative... though i thk some might lose their minds if it really turns out to be SDF related...

    The SDF-1 commander bridge in 1:60 scale! I say that because I have been wondering about making the Macross Frontier bridge for some time now.

    Very nice.  Plan to make it in 1/72?

    No plan for the moment, we can discuss about that in PM.

    Damn, Xigfrid, I wish Bandai would pay you a shed load of money to buy your design and mass produce this in toy form fully pre-painted.

    I would love to too! Even if it is not a crap load of money, I would be glad to :)

    Working on the rest of the body right now. I am trying my best to not overdoing things ... I guess I made a bit too much on articulation and moving parts in the chest ! Just to give an idea of the scale, the chest is only 6 cm high and features: 2 horizontal rotations, 3 verticals and a lot of moving parts

    for me, yf-21 takes the cake heheh...basically a clown face without a mouth saved by being recessed into an intimidating cowl over it...

    The SV-51 and VF-17D come close seconds..

    That YF-21 head is just like an old transformers toy in the 80's - 90's. I really can't remember it clearly but I am sure the 21 has been greatly inspired by it.

    Saw this in a shop in Hong Kong last Friday at the Ins-Point mall for HK$1,380 (US$177), but I didn't buy as I don't have any Arcadia VF-0 toys.

     

     

    You should really grab a VF-0S, it is flawless and the color scheme is very attracting. I really like the 0D and 0A, but thats probably because I don't have the falling legs issue. The engineering is really good and the tolerances are very tight. Among all my Macross stuff the new VF-0 are the ones that feel the less as "toys" and the more "collectibles"
