Ill get a copy up at shapeways soon...for the print file version im gonna just drop it on my artstation(i can make it really cheap since artstation takes only a small cut). For the print file version i made a few extra options that are thrown in...such as a single solid version...and option clear glass pieces. Once im done painting and get some screenshots ill throw them up.

Im currently painting it , its been slow, i realized i really need to buckle down and learn japanese ( which despite trying every advice and method imagineable has been slow) or risk putting my future here at jeapordy. So it may take awhile for future builds.

71 viewers and 3 votes...means there isnt much interest in this i guess. I will try to make more interesting things in the future.

Seeing if theres any interest in this and in what format you would be interested in. If you have a better option for getting the actual model outside shapeways im open to ideas. The print data would be sold on my own artstation.

Interesting though i already have a lineup of ten or so in the pipeline...bit hard to tell whats going on in the concept. maybe ill do some m2 models someday. No personal commissions, however i may make what you want in the future regardless. That being said im not really much of a character artist.

Successful Print ( although i forgot to print out the cans, ill do that next weekend) but the new tooling came out nice so i will move forward with putting this up. So now i have to figure the best distribution method. I think i will make a new thread for it to see what the interest is for it. If it does decently i can move ahead with some of the other models which are more complicated. Everything i make will be equal to hasegawa level tooling in detail. I want to focus on 1/72 scale although i would like to do some 1/48 since hasegawa wont make anything but vf1 and vf19. Id also like to make some extremely detailed cockpits for the existing 1/48 as well as some addition parts, interior engine cutaways etc. Theres two additional pieces for this kit ( besides the cans) They are window parts to cover the cans and the marquee however i dont have clear resin so i didnt waste resin on them. Pieces just layed on top, nothing glued in which is why some parts are at angles

Printed out two versions of the petite cola machine...they had some minor issues but it allowed me to see what needs to be imporved upon for printing. The final build will have two versions...a whole version for small prints and a and a parted version for large...up to 1/1 theoretically since i built it at full scale. More soon

First up will be a Petite Cola machine, depending on distribution method it will likely be in 1/12, and 1/6 scale. There is some work to be done and im adding some extra details. I will be doing a test print in 1/12 scale this weekend. This is a brand new orginal mesh unrelated to the old one..sticking more closely to the original concept.

Thanks for all the suggestions...not sure of distribution method yet or pricing. I might use gambody or shapeways although id rather not have prints floating around...i wish i could create a dedicated shop going forward but shipping from japan really isnt going to be worth it for customers. Anyway ill figure that out after i get a few of these printed out. Today i blocked out 5 of the first 10 initial models. Ill reveal them as i add detail and they near completion..with work..it may take awhile. I actually might have an obscure valk or two in there as well 😉.

So now that im in a different place...its time to revive this. I picked up an elegoo saturn 2...ive been making prints. Id like to make things the big guys wont touch....rare valks...maybe down the line when i have time. However smaller things...ground vehicles etc...Tell me what you would like to see. Dont be afraid to really obscure...seriously..petite cola machines...the holographic arcade table..etc...but really id like to make some obscure vehicles.

Not sure about soldering, i think i can get a cheap one in akihabara though. Def wanna do an on off switch. Thanks! That sounds good...i basically wanna get the side lights on the ship and then a few strong deep blue ones for the boosters. Do you have any links to the set you purchased? I looked up strips on amazon and there is a ton of variety out there. Thanks for the tip!

Would kind of be a waste to not get this star destroyer wannabee not loaded up with LEDS. Anyone know any good guides to getting that done in a fairly cheap manor? Ive seen many guides but they all seem to focus on the drilling and installing...thats the easy part though. Im trying to find out how to actually get this stuff wired up..like whats the power source, hows that all work. Yodabashi sells pretty cheap LEDS.

Primed and ready..again..theres really no seams to cover on these...except the vf-0. I think at 1/72 the seams dont show too much after priming though.

Next up,

yea never been a fan of the off the factory line look with valks.....roys been smashing through spaceship hulls...i expect hes picked up some dirt and oil. I thought it would work good since i wanted to leave the leg panel off

finished, overall i think its ok. I want to make the next build cleaner though...get better at the airbrush. A few parts warped a little bit because of placing it too close to a heater. I wish the fastpack wasnt connected just by the small hinges on the back. On to the next projects...i wanna get something done before may for the contest.

another update..

small update...its a bit sloppy

Did a little more work

small update...id say they are around 50 percent there

I went to go grab some weathering supplies and ended up with this.....thanks exchange rate.

got some work in yesterday

I saw one of these in akihabara station a few weeks back though it was mostly delta stuff.

ah 1/48 version...cmon hasegawa at least do the vf-11 in 148
