Holding his jaw! lol Seriously though, RIP. -
I'll see if I can get a cartoon of that together later today.

Thanks! I simply did a reprime and repaint on it. Speaking of which... UPDATE: Refined the detailing a bit more. I still have some stuff to add (minor details here and there like the upper head turret), but the basics are there. The legs are ball jointed in the hips, and bend 180 degrees at the knees (for reverse and regular movement), with the feet able to tilt to the sides. As for the lighting system: The light is simply one of those LED "finger lights" from the dollar store.I made a collar to go around it, hot-melt glued it into place, used the hot melt glue to create a "lens", then once the glue cooled, pulled the light out from it so it would be removable and the batteries could be replaced as needed: The switch is at the top (can't really see it there). The entire unit slides into a hole and recess in the front of the Regult: Stay tuned...more to come...

Ah, gotcha. Looking forward to your progress!

Guess Misa had some explaining to do to Hikaru after that one. Poor guy wakes up, and his fighter is toast, his sempai is dead and he gets back into action only to lose one of his team. I also noticed they never did the Daedalus Attack after that IIRC; although an interesting video would be "Misa Said Knock You Out!" with a dancing SDF-1 in boxing trunks, set to LL Cool J's "Mamma Said Knock You out".
-
Sounds like Hikaru now knows what the Daedalus felt like after getting smashed into an enemy vessel by the SDF-1 (Also Misa's handiwork)

I see what you mean about the legs looking square; the intakes look just a bit too wide at the fronts. Try reducing the diameter of them horizontally and tapering them slightly so they widen as they go back. if you look at the blueprints, you'll see what I mean. Aside from that, looks like the craft is looking really good! :thumbup

*Imagines Hikaru is at his closet, with several canopy covers hanging on hangers* Hikaru: "Hmmm...which one should I wear today? The red one looks kinda festive..."

UPDATE: some color (and a light):
-
Originally a double post, but since I have progress to show, may as well use it, right? Finished re-covering the model with a new outer skin of masking tape. sealed it as a measure against any further mishaps, then primed it in black: Once I have the final colors and whatnot on there, it will be sealed again. This time around, I took the liberty of correcting some details that were misshapen or errand on the last version (more on those in the next post). Stay tuned folks...
-
Well, now that the dio is pretty well set, I'm dealing with a disaster on another project. Humidity on the East coast pretty much wrecked the Regult I built; should've sealed it before moving out here. Anyways, replaced the knees (cracked plastic), replacing several of the cannons, repaired the lighting system, the entire paintjob is scrap and the surface is peeled and... ..well, I simply stripped away all the surface tape and redid it. Start finishing it again from zero. Updates later.

While I understand (and largely agree), I can't help imagining the following scenario: Saru: "Let's go to warp" *warp engines take off without the rest of the ship* Saru: "Well...that was rather unexpected..." Well, I was envisioning the warp core vaporizing the ship... guess they were too, huh?
-
I say go for it! You may also want to so a wash on the floor to bring out the detail near the front control panels.
-
Sorry to hear about the drive bro; I wonder if you need gears instead of pulleys? As for the finish on the plane: that just stinks! I've had that kind of thing happen, and it's just a miserable thing to go through. As for the guy in the chemsuit: I did that as a practical joke to see who would catch it! :D

Thank you for all the memories, David. *salutes with lightsaber*

Detached warp nacelles, eh? now they just need to detach the antimatter magnetic shielding couplings... and we're good to go.

Actually, the worst criminal in Starfleet history is the idiot who thought these ideas would make for a good plot...

Okay...after a couple of days away from this, this is what I finally decided to do concerning the GBP-1S project: Basically, I decided to make the Valkyrie look like it had shot off most of its' ordnance and was in the process of being refurbished and reloaded. I purposely left off the back launchers on the legs, with "aircraft zinc oxide yellow" squares denoting where modules should plug into. I envision the launchers as being pre-loaded modules that are simply plugged in and calibrated to the onboard computer (allowing for rapid reload situations). I also transferred the 1/72 seat head post piece I made so the head could be shown in "open" position; I simply had to glue a bit more plastic to the bottom of it so the head had the clearance to display properly. It also allowed me to put this piece back into the display: So overall, the diorama is changing and improving; just need a Tomahawk (and to build the other half of the factory!) Scene so far: Meantime, disaster hit my Imai VF-1S: the plastic backpack hinge broke last night when i was dusting the valk. Sick of that nonsense, I bent a wire coat hanger into a square about the size and shape of the piece, hammered the sides as flat as I could, and installed that. Slightly floppy, but then again, so was the original hinge. At least this won't snap on me:

Still improbable for me. Wouldn't have minded an "LSA 15 in one" knockoff they had for 10 bucks at K-Mart back in 2008, but that ship sailed, wrecked and sank to the bottom of the collectible ocean...

Kinda tempted to do up a can of "Xenomorph Chow" cartoon.

Maybe we should include a tire pump for the hands?

I noticed that and did a rework of this pic: While the arms still look a bit small, I thickened the lower legs while reducing the upper intakes. I did try to increase the width of the arms as well, but it was limited by the "collision" between the arms and the inside of the lower legs. But I think this is more in the direction of how it should look, at least in some part.
-
I'd say the legs need to be about 15% bigger to start with, and thick enough to match the width of the wing root just ahead of where the wings pivot. The arms could use some beefing up too; visually, the masterfile looks too skinny IMHO.
