These 31As are nice! Are you planning to make different schemes on these or just the classical grey/white as seen in the TV show ?

Thank you Neko_fr.

I just nabbed a 31J and when I will receive it I will make a new photo shoot session )))

Now we know how Experten's models ended with a bulbous canopy!

Joking aside, I don't know if you are 100% happy with the nose. I am looking at it and I could feel something is off without being able to point out what exactly... The general profile looks 95% right but the remaining 5% is buzzing me. Something looks too angular at the junction of the top and the bottom parts.

If I were you, to fix this later, I would cut this front portion of the nose and make a separate part so if I can fix it later, there would be only a small part to print and to replace.

Final touch arm canon and also to the head:

Arm canon:

-approx 12 parts

-8 rotation axis

-7 screws, only 2 visible!

Head:

-translucent eyes that will transmit light from a red LED

-6x moving mandibules

-2x moving antennas

-total of 14 parts that are tightened with 2 screws. Only 1 will be visible

I will work on a few more parts before ordering this lot.

Nice! But hum I would prefer it to be 1/12 or 1/20 for the same fraction of price...

This gun pod is great, I don't see the sliding mechanism but it looks very nice!

Just a warning about 3D printers, going thinner than 1mm is generally not recommended if ever the printer alllows it

The part to remove to get the canopy loose might not be too hard to remove? I've been tempted to swap a few canopies back and forth to get matching rainbow ones on all my DYRL releases.

This plastic part is known to be firmly glued unfortunately.

That is so awesome. Fantastic work.

Thanks! But this is only because the original design was so inspiring.

Thanks K, you know this is nice to got you back on the forum!

Haha NZEOD, I am pretty sure now that you choose this color of your kitchen on purpose

So awesome spanner!

I got this picture in my phone otherwise I can take new shots later.

Hey Kurisama, if you want to enhance details a bit up on the visor, you can engrave all the electronic shapes on the inside face of the visor.

This is easy to print it in FUD and just clean the external face of the visor to obtain a transparent surface. I made that for the X9 and the result is really nice -and easy to paint-

Thank you all.

Jasonc: i don't dislike this idea of using third party joints, I will just have a look and see if I can find some/design of these.

Edstuff: you are welcome to continue our conversation if you need anything more specific to help you.

Just received the 1st parts and everything fits well into the Main laser canon. Including the LEDs etc. Pretty happy how it ended.

This THING is HUGE, ok ?

They look like to be flushed inside the leg so they become seamless ?

Hi Jasonc, thank you for your insight, a static figure is something I wouldn't like to make. Once this project is over, I am keen to discuss that with anyone wanting to take over.

I know the limits of the classic resin. My recaster has some mechanical resin but I am trying to avoid it. I am now focusing on a working plastic prototype, then working the parts that can be puttied to be recasted as is and those which need the plastic strength.

What do you mean by "market joints" ? I don't see what it is and how that can help, I am really interested of any picture of these!

I have ordered the Laser canon parts and they should be here soon, can't wait to have on hands the first parts of such a big project

I could be wrong. The reason I wrote that is it reminds me of this (click on the pics).

Ah I missed that post ! This is definitely the same figure.

An Wonderfest resin kit from awhile back

Sad to hear that it is an old "news"

Just came to this pictures. Unfortunately I don't know from which convention they come from. It looks like a 3rd party Vajra version, in 1:60 scale.

Unfortunately proportions are a bit off, but great price for an articulated toy otherwise!

That sound sick, can't wait to see this

That's this model. Sorry for the bad link. I use steel nails, 1mm diameter the box says and I cut to the specific length.

I would say the laser gun is almost finished and ready to print! It took a total of 11 parts + 2 screws+ compartment to store the batteries and LED + On/Off switch. Not counting the arm (illustrated in white below):

I figured as much. oh well.. I didn't even bother putting the smaller fixed hands on.

Don't worry, for your next shapeways shopping you can grab these ones: http://shpws.me/MpqA.

This version is just perfect, you will love it. It's design was refined from the 5 previous designs.

DAMN you made 1/72 missiles??? YUS!!!

Yes sir

Nice catch a 11B! i don't know exactly at what point of the progress Jasonc is, probably he is working on large batches, including yours.
