You think Max dipped the canopy in Future?

The final 3D designed gears are up on Xigfrid's Shapeways store. Xigfrid has worked really hard on these. They are only USD 4, so I hope you will give him your moral support for his efforts! They are extremely sleek, and slimmed down to require the minimum drilling. He has designed them to make it as easy as possible for others to install, with both the gears and rail. You just need to drill their position and install with a 6mm motor and M2 nut (6x7mm motors will also fit). No scratch-building is required. I will make a new thread soon for installing mine once they arrive, and I will be happy to help anyone install them.

Finished some bits and bobs.

Which decals did you get for the blue langley stripe? I also need a red langley stripe if you know which fighter has them (For a Focker, Max, Hikaru Ranger Team I am working on). Edit: Actually I have some blue-ish Langley stripes from the F-14A Tomcat. But I can't find red ones.

I've decided to enroll in a 3D MAx course this summer, which I believe is the same as Sketchup. And this is my Ghost. I got the awesome retractable gears version! I still have Isamu's Bike and Sharon to paint one day, when I learn how to get a glossy coat down

Xigfrid has gone out of control!!!

Nice scheme. Another NZEOD Special!

No need for a refund. It's a fair price. Thx. -
You guys need to understand how tech-challenged I am. But where there is a will to build Macross, there is a way. I've dowloaded the Free 2017 versions, and got some tutorials in my Youtube playlist. The guy says he will teach you Sketchup and "treat you like a complete idiot", which sounds about right...

Oh man, I know that feeling. After all that work, you just want to get done, and leave the painting to the pros!

i ordered a couple setss. Looking forward to them. -
Hmmm... In that case I need to learn.

Did you sand it down first with high grit paprr and then with toothpaste or other gritty compound?
-
The technique is shown here. What I described is a bit different because I don't like thick Tamiya putty, but same idea. It's also how a lot of people fix mistakes. But I also wonder if it would be easier to prime the whole part, then completely sand the primer off, and repeat as required to remove 3D print lines. http://reedoak.com/how-to-prepare-reedoak-3d-printed-figure-for-paint/

I would have made them all valk girls! Another Pengbuzz special! What are you doing with the 4th?
-
Tage (and @Xigfrid), I don't know how far you are with painting, but I have seen pros who hide the 3D print lines by brush painting Mr. Hobby Surfacer 1200 along the seams, then wiping off the excess with lacquer thinner across the seams, sanding and repeating. Seems painfull, but...
-
Nice review and progress. Probably my favorite valk.

I thought this would be my only motorized valk, but with Xigfrid doing his magic, I am planning a couple more! Here is a night version showing off the wing lights.
