There's an incredible amount of details! Really amazing model, I would have been interested in 1:60 painted model but this is a bit out of my reach

Well deserved price Mintox!

Hey Jasonc, I am glad you found a better way to do it.

Claude grant has confirmed his order for the last available 1:60 scale drone. Sorry guys!

I don't know when I will get time to paint all of this, I am planning to order some glowing red paint/pigments for the inside of this head. This is going to be a long wait!

I will adjust the Shapeways model to make a stronger closed position and make it available to order. Should be fast.

Additionally, I didn't want to make a new thread for the 2 vehicles in these pictures: Ozma Lee's car and a simple Aircraft tug both made in 1/60 scale, mounted on the universally known remote-controlled "CAN CARs". They need some adjustments and painting that both I can make manually on my examples.

I can modify the model on Shapeways and make them available BUT I need orders to do so. If you terribly want one, they cost approx. 24 USD (+ VAT depending of the country) each, just send me a private messsage.

I bet my wife would never agree with you

seems flat according to this picture: http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossplus/x9-ghost/x9-ghost-2.gif

In the mean time, protoypes have arrived today. Pretty happy with the result.

The WSF plastic is so flexible that the head can open in the blossoming position with the current design! Unexpected!

Tonight I will be having a closer look at the parts and see if I can upgrade a few things:

-I would like to make a new part that would act as a ground stand and would also maintain the head in full open position.

-I want to add a stronger locking mechanism so that the head stays in closed position more firmly than actually.

Crossing fingers for the fastest hypothesis!

Great built grayson72! The result is really neat and clean.

I hope mine will be as beautiful but with a more aggressive look, still working in it

Got some time tonight and I realized this thing is a lot of work!

That's exciting! I can't imagine how great they would be in colored resin, and not speaking of the painted ones!

Ordered at NY, actually this S is going to be cheaper than the A due to the exchange rates movements.

I refined the lines and changed slightly the dimensions, also adjusting a few things before 3D printing:

Price wise, it would be aroung 80,00 USD from WSF plastic from Shapeways. I will try to reduce that but not sure the work required worths shaving a few dollars. A bit more expensive that what I expected though

Decided that it would be 9.7m long, 162mm at 1:60 scale. Due to the complexity of the figure, I could not use the "Full color Sandstone" material as planned, so it would be available only in WSF plastic.

Also I couldn't figure out how to make the head to fully open. I use the WSF flexibility so it can open a few degrees, I will test how much we can open the figure once I got the printed parts.

Here what I got so far:

Really nice! Thanks for the updates!

LAST UPDATE 1st April 2019:

Decided to make a new version that can fully open and with a better head, more info can be found in my FB page

As mentioned earlier, here comes my new smaller project for Macross Zero. It would be a perfect addon to any VF-0D or SV-51 CF version!

This is the head of the Bird-Human that appears in Macross Zero in various episodes. It appears at different times in the OVAs with different level of details (and scales...)

I am still hesitating for the scale and have to decide if it will be 9m or 10m long, the pictures below shows the 10m version.

Because of the "limestone rock" aspect of the head, I am planning to make this design available on Shapeways in "Full color sandstone" material, because this material is fragile and cannot be to much manipulated, the sandstone parts would be used over a articulated skeleton in WSF plastic so that it can be transformed!

So this thing is gonna hopefully transform like a blossoming flower as seen in the underwater scene and would display the head with a moving eye.

The model is well advanced right now, but still processing.

One leg fitted....

Which evil's one is this leg?

Looking great Jasonc! With all these painted drones you will get you can make a great diorama of the scene where the 21 is facing all the drones during the training!

Hi guys, I have been collecting the second half payments last week, I am still missing 3 payments.

If you haven't received a private message about the second payment, could you double check it or send me a new message so that I can tell you your balance.

Also "claude grant", please let me know if you are still interest in your 1:60 painted drone, otherwise I can let it go to someone else.

Thank you all!

Really nice project, something I can't even imagine build, that would be enormous!

Please say Cheyenne, please say Cheyenne, please say Cheyenne, please say Cheyenne, please say Cheyenne, please say Cheyenne, please say Cheyenne, PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not this, but I have always wondered why Yamato haven't made this one, it is the destroid screened in the most aggressive scene against the bad hero guy and it did pretty well.

Haha! Not the anti-UN octo, much more simple than that! When I got it a little more work on it I can name it
