  1. The book cover for comparison
  2. Done, freaking hackers
  3. Noice, I need to figure out how to look at this in my occulus Rift-S
  4. As a cockpit and ejection seat snob, I LOVE IT!!!
  5. 1:18 scale 3D printed Splicer-5000 based on my 1:48 scale kit, definitely some lessons learned for the future.
  6. A "little" 1:18 project I have been working on.
  7. I knew there was something bugging me about it. Yes, the chest piece either needs to be flipped around 180degrees, or moved the right side of the Battroids chest, even then, there is still too much contact, but it could be deemed acceptable due to the statue format.
  8. Little details can make all the difference, especially if you ever hand it over to someone to make it IRL.
  9. Great to see you back at this, still looks amazing.
  10. Necropost I know, but someone recently requested these images. There's more in book three but that got lost in a move. Once I reach acquire a new copy I will get some more images from it.
  11. If it were their VF-1 cockpits you would have a point, though they seem to have finally had that issue treated, lol.
  12. That is freaking awesome. Almost makes we wonder if they copied the guts out of the 1:24.

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    Looking great, too early to panic on the head laser issue, it should be a simple fix though, just extend the mounts. Though making them longer will increase stresses, so the mounts will have to be stronger/heavier. Maybe this was the compromise.
  14. Definite Roger Rabbit vibes, and looks like fun. But I agree with @jenius, all those different animation styles may break my brain. However, if they complete rip on the CalArts style I will cheer out loud.
  15. Well stated fellow Test Engineer.
  16. Incorrect. As with real world aircraft that have 2-D thrust vectoring certain design concessions have to be made. A slight constricting of the exhaust, using more thermally resistant materials, allows the thrust vector exhaust vanes to more easily, and precisely, maneuver the exhaust flow direction, though at the expense of higher maintenance costs. There is a reason why most countries did not adopt 2-D thrust vectoring IRL. Also, if you watched animation, particularly Macross Plus, there is a scene where the feet/TVC vanes extend during pre flight demonstrating that they do, in fact, open wider for full thrust/afterburner operations, as real world aircraft do. Also, you have to realize that the toys are scale models of the designs, and as a result the thickness of the materials and parts, as well as their full degree of mobility, are not necessarily consistent with the VF's "Real World" design dimensions.
  17. I would love to find a high res version of this, always thought it was awesome.

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    Now if we can convince Arcadia and or Bandai to make some FZ-109s and VF/A-14s, plenty of variants theres.
  19. Wow, these are all so awesome.
  20. That'll be at Sumer Wonderfest, as it is, it appears to have the connector piece integrated at least.
