Hello everyone, I am having a tough time with the 3D models already posted, I got some of the Models to work, but I need ones of higher quality with internals for the cockpit pit, I know it's odd but I'm looking for 1/1 scale, because I am looking to Pilot it in ZeroG racing and Space races in VR Resonite, the models I've found don't have cockpits, and the texture has to be redone to have the 1/1 details (caution signs, emblems, logos, lining, etc), I was hoping for game rips since they sometimes have internal cockpits with the model, but I can't understand or get the UtaMacross rips to work, I have a physical and rom of Macross 30 Voice across the galaxy, I just dont know how to get at the models, I am debating about buying Macross Shooting insight while it's on sale to try to get those models, but I don't know what game engine it uses if it's unity or unreal or something completely different, if it's unity I can get at the game models, and if anyone of you out there Custom make or build valkyrie 3d models with internals please let me know, I won't ask for freebies for homemades, cause if you make art, sculpt, design, paint, you should be compensated, and if you want to sell homemade models please let me know, again this is for me to be able to Pilot them in VR for ship racing, any and all info help! Even if it's just the uncolored 3d models with internal cockpit that is a huge help! Thank you!

First print for this old CAD model on new Prusa MK4S - Not bad for FDM with basic settings . The back end got "mashed" because auto supports, but for a first print on a FDM , I am impressed .

There are quite a few Macross and other mech related STL files via sites such as Thingiverse, Cults3D, creator's own Patreon accounts, Facebook, Etsy, and other sites. I hope this topic can act as a list/archive of links to such files as a resource for those of us with 3D printers. It should be noted that while many files are free on sites such as Thingiverse, some must be bought from the creators themselves.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone out there would have a means of scanning and digitizing physical model parts? The pieces in question are simple plastic model kit parts from 2pc dies, no crazy undercuts. I can provide pics of the parts if needed. Thanks in advance!

Hello everybody, This is my first thread, but I have a question that I feel only my fellow Macross fans could help to answer. I am an amateur 3D artist and as a hobby, I enjoy modeling Valkyries. I just started a new model of a VF-11 Thunderbolt. I want to make it as close to the line art as possible while still being able to transform it from fighter to battroid. For reference, I have Yamato's VF-11B and Hasegawa's injection kits. They look good and will work great, but I noticed when I started measuring them that the proportions don't match the specs given in all the documentation of the VF-11 series. Macross Chronicle and the Macross Mecha Manual say the VF-11 is 15.51 meters long with a wingspan of 11.2 meters. When I measure the artwork from the Hasegawa instruction sheet and scale it up (assuming a length of 15.51 meters), I get a wingspan of 14.37 meters. The Macross Mecha Manual line art gave me a wingspan of 13.23 meters. I have yet to measure the Yamato toy, but just eyeballing it, I can tell it has an incredibly wide wingspan. So my questions are: 1) Is the Macross Chronicle wingspan correct, or is it a known inaccuracy? 2) If it is correct, is it with the wings fully extended? 3) Is there an accurate portrayal of 15.51 x 11.2 dimensions anywhere, either in a kit, toy, or line art? 4) Did Yamato and Hasegawa make the wings too wide, or did they shorten the body? 5) Should I just ignore the specs and go with the Yamato or Hasegawa proportions? 6) Can anyone recommend an alternate resource for VF-11 schematics? My temptation is to go with the Yamato, since it compromises nicely for transformation, while maybe scaling down the width of the wings closer to the line art. Thoughts?
