Im too much of a romantic for that lol.

True, but this brings up a question, in that pose, what handles are they gripping exactly? The handles are way out on the side!!! Yes, but now that I look at it, For the "All Go" signal, her thumb should be more downward, shouldn't it? Or is it fine as is? @Bolt I don't sell prints. You could go to a print shop, or better yet, find a friend to print you one for free. PM me if you don't know anyone, I'm glad to help the old-timers on the Workbench.

I have been making a bunch of 3D figures, as you know, and didn't know what to do with them, so this is what I came up with. I don't sell any figures. All my figures are free. There are many reasons for this, but primarily it's just a hobby, and I have a lot of fun of doing it and sharing it with others. I would rather 100 people have my figures for free, than selling 2 or 3 pieces online. The big payoff is to see people use my figures in their projects. So, rather than hording my figures or monetizing them, I release each "main" figure for free, and give "variant" figure poses to my supporters on Patreon. I also made my Patreon as cheap as possible at 2 dollars, so anyone can get whatever they need. It's just for fun to chat with like-minded fans and get their encouragement.

You guys can chime in here. It's not scientific 🤣

Just for fun, I am taking votes for which Milia pilot I should release for free. Most votes wins.

Nice! Purple goes with everything.

Dang. Too good. Thanks for sharing.

Misa Mars Base version! Now up. It is so much fun working on rare characters. I'm quite proud of these recent designs, because at this stage I am doing most of the modeling from scratch (like clothing, accessories, helmets). I still use base models (for bodies, heads, and hands), but often only for proportions to build clothing around. https://www.patreon.com/arbitscalemodels

Absolutely gorgeous in every aspect. Thanks for sharing. More!

Y'all knew it was coming right?

M&M. Almost there.

Nice to see so much Macross on your workbench! I'm jealous...

Good idea. Do it!

I didn't forget you. Coming soon. https://www.patreon.com/arbitscalemodels

@sketchley Yes! That's an amazing resource. Thanks for your work.

Thanks for narrowing down the selection. You gave me a good idea to use the Rabbit pilots, I had not thought of them as deck crew. And I have Misa's SDF space suit ready as well. I did study Sketchly's page in depth when you sent it to me. My thoughts: 1) The SDF deck crew space suit looks like a rush job by the designers. I've studied it a lot, and I just can't figure out what to do with it to make it "SPACY". If I do that one, it would be sleeker, because I am just not that attracted to it. 2) The VF-X is way too complex for me, so that's out. 3) The frontier crew look nice, kind of like a sci-fi rendition of modern real world deck crew. They may be doable with some dedicated modeling time, but they will have to wait their turn. The good news is I plan a TON of deck crew with the base SDF and DYRL space suits I already have designed. I'm thinking 10-20 variations. Your encouragement and ideas are always welcome.

Looking very gruby. Love it!

I can be convinced. But show me what you have in mind. Pick one or two of your favorite "SPACY" suits.

People can get all kinds of flight deck crew from Fujimi and Hasegawa and other garage kits. I don't see any need to sculpt my own. And the Macross line art for Deck Crew is either really boring or incredibly difficult like in Macross Zero. But I plan to make SDF and DYRL pilots standing around and doing stuff. What could I possibly do as good as this? http://reedoak.com/?fbclid=IwAR1qZ0MgbpQmm4HghEROSZOB0KcyWSGqV3GLyVXP13JobJ5rLp0nDDLkw1I

the base SDF and DYRL pilot uniforms

My plan for deck crew is to use the base SDF and DYRL pilot uniforms. They could be with and without helmets in deck poses. I have no plans to sculpt anything new. What do you think?

Male and Female Rabbits! I gave Misa appropriate hair, but really didn't bother with Lynn. They will be so small anyway.

Back from a break and ready to rumble. These are now up for free download, plus lots of variants for Patrons. https://www.patreon.com/arbitscalemodels

@wm cheng Hi William. This is what I have for your sugested "arguing" pose. Both hands down may be easier to print, but I think I could do either well enough. Let me know before finalizing. -arbit

I know, it is pretty awesome. Check out the guys other designs and give him some likes and nice comments.
