Some more progress.

@pengbuzz That is a very weathered Yamato! Nice work 😍

Good point, let me do some more work on the hair. And with Max along, I guess they will always look too cool.

Some more progress. Comments appreciated.

Hi all. So my brother in law has this model. Its built from mahogany and steel and brass. The body seems some kind of pvc or fiber glass (I dont really know), with 7 layers of paint to get that shiny finish. My question is what kind of glue can we use to reattach some of the loose fittings that would be strong and easy to wipe off. Super glue will leak and fog and ruin it. Thanks in advance!

WIP continues...

Ha ha. Not real lights at this scale. Only painted lights. But this is a proto-type test model for a larger lit model hopefully.

Looking good! Always nice to see these getting painted up.

I applied a light gray dry brush to give it more of a space ship color and bring out some details. Still need to add a ton of tiny city lights to bring it to life.

Thanks for the feedback. You have a good eye for proportions. My drawing skills are at pre-school level 😄

Man, it must be tough to fix your 3d model. Do you have to redo the whole part?

Glad to help. I can pose them for you too. This is where I am on the bridge uniforms. Max's face seems big. How about the other two? I will make Roy a bit taller, but I don't like the super tall 7' look. I never liked how disproportionate he looks 🤣

@tekering Wow, the Matchbox has never looked so good! Fantastic work, A couple questions: I am worried about your wood screws eating away at the plastic over time. Maybe I misunderstand the mechanism, but could you possibly use a screw and nut with washer instead? You could lodge the nut with epoxy (Add some pla plate to fully bury the nut). Since you are planning to change up the guns, have you seen @Nyankodevice's SDF-1 guns on Thingiverse? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5389365

Wow! Where is that from? Fan art or original?

Looking forward to seeing people's builds!

Here is a first pose with a newly bashed DYRL helmet.

Awaiting the final reveal....

This is a comparison for body proportions. The DYRL suit is directly from UTA Macross as the reference. The Bridge Uniform is my work, bashed from parts with additional sculpting by me. The head and hair is also bashed/sculpted by me. I think the proportions are good, right? Comments appreciated.

After a little summer break, back to fiddling with some ideas. I don't have a project in mind for these figures, but the idea is I can pose them as needed. I still need a cool project though... any ideas?

Nice canopy! What's the best resin for getting a clear result, without yellowing. (I use Elegoo translucent, which comes out a bit yellow for larger parts, although I have noticed that small parts may appear yellow the first day, and gradually become more clear as they cure.)

Looking great! 😍

Hi. Thanks for asking. I was on summer vacation. Just came back from the mountains.

Don't worry, but out of respect, please don't sell.

Wow what a nice surprise. Really cool added details. As a side note, anyone complaining about nekro posting on Macrossworld is a bit of an oxymoron, since we are dealing with a 40 yr old show!
