I am artist...i do art, not take other peoples builds =p I think i am going to make most items in 1/48 to go next to those nice juicy hasegawas. I will look through perfect memory and make some items no one has made yet. Thanks for the list

They are done in 3d but i may build a mold in 3D so i am going to try and stick to one scale atm. The petite cola machine is done and i cleaned it up last night....I think thats due for a large scale limited run and then i can do 48 and 72 for hasegawa kits.

hmmmmm

Also, i may have the Petite Cola machine prototype out by as soon as next week.

Cool thanks, some of those looked nice, i'd likely add more detail. Right now the ambulance and boomlift are tied....anyone have any more obscure vehicles or parts they are interested in please post em. I only used what i could find at the macross mech manual website. I will also be doing this in house to keep pricing lower. The first thing i put out before the vehicles will be The Bridge Captains Chair, i havnt decided on scale yet.

Very down for this..but i wanna do simpler things first can someone list vehicles which havnt been done yet? From an art perspective i like to do things no one has really done before. do you have a link to some images? were they very detailed? I could always make larger scaled or more detailed versions if they are not being made anymore

I plan to start putting together a kit on some of the really cool little vehicles you dont find very often. I would like to make them all but right now i just want to see which one people would have the most interest in first and thats the one i will start work on. Type of material, scale , price etc is still up in the air at this point but this is strictly a "what would you like to see out of this set" Just SDFM for now I am personally caught between ambulance and GNXM at this point.

Something i actually thought about while making this. Eventually i settled on a lived in look...atm im not sure where this bridge scene is in the timeline yet but i was thinking out in space after its taken quite a few bruises. you are going to be able to see outside the windows...so it depends which planet i end up sticking out there. I am going to try and get whats done so far set up in Unreal this weekend.

just for fun..

Picked up some studio work over the summer so i've been busy, but that ends next week and i was able to finish up teh chair monitor. I am going to start working on the walls sometime in the next few days.

Gonna work on those little barrels of whatever ( beer) behind the seat next and then move on to the monitor above the seat

Now that i finished this up i can open the patreon

Heres the bake of the Captains Chair, going to work on materials tomorrow

I finished the high poly of the captains chair. i am going to post an update here soon before i open the patreon

I am, i'm using UE4

I have been slowly working on some of the bridge props and decided to start a patreon in order to create a fully fleshed out SDF 1 bridge and if all goes well..other areas as well..i will reveal more detail soon.

Starting this tomorrow

Thanks, i have just about every macross art book in existence in digital form, yet still having a hard time finding any hanger reference..eitehr there isnt much or im just skimming past them.

so sexy

This will be DK2, i'm not sure how well backwards compat works but it shouldnt be too hard, i'll look into it once i start moving things into unreal.

I totally meant bridge when i said deck in the op. It's one of the options im looking into. I do like the idea of the hanger. I'm gonna take a look through perfect memory a little later today and see what i can find on both, as well as some city shots.

Just taking a tally here for some ideas. If you could walk around in a macross environment which one would it be. Yes i am making something but i need to narrow it down. 1. there has to be a good amount of reference on it, like anything there is going to have to be some interpretation and fill in the blank but i want the environment to be as close as i can to the show 2. It has to be somewhat iconic and have the macross touch. Sure a chinese restaurant would look nice..but thats just a restaurant. So something a little more MACROSS 3. though i love all of the macross series ( yes even 7) for this first project i'll keep it to the original, trying to capture one of the thinsg that made you an artist in teh first place now that you have the ability to etc etc 4. and last requirement..although i would love to model the entirety of the sdf 1, that is not gonna happen. i am just one freelance game artist doing this in time between projects. So it has to be reasonable..the deck of the ship is reasonable for instance and is one idea. I have thought about just doing a vf-1 with you locked in cockpit but that seems so constrained..maybe the hanger with a vf-1 in it possibly? This will be done in unreal 4 and be completely PBR, if i do include any characters, slight possibility, they will retain their anime look. Not a big fan on realistic portrayals of anime, especially not the ones i grew up with . So feel free to drop any ideas on what you would liek to see...this week ill just be looking things over and finding an idea, next week i will begin a blockout.

Yea it pretty much has it going in two different directions and two different shapes between the two viewpoints so i just more or less chose between them. Doesn't look like it would be very comfortable to have to two hand this thing but hey..there was war..no time to make these things comfortable. I would really love to build the cockpit for a vf 1 dyrl and drop it into UE4 tied with an occulus rift.

Just for fun, i used the original sketch from the tv version found in design works. Theres obviously some odd things when you translate a drawing into 3d, like the side button...but such is life. Zbrush, Maya, Photoshop , Marmoset
