OK, this is probably going to be my most ambitious project I've ever done. But I'm going to attempt to make a tranformable 1/60 VA-3 Invader. Some of you know that I have the S.H.E transformable kit of the VA-3, and know that it is in 1/100 scale. With a list of parts, good caliper, calculator, protractor, and all the other design and drafting materieals, I've begun drafting this in SolidWorks. With a total of 6 parts done so far, I obviously have a lot to go. I thought I'd start this thread to post updates as they are made, and get the community of CAD designers to help in areas I may have questions about. Ambitious, hell yes, but I plan to move at a slow, steady pace to get this done. Comments always welcome. So with that, I present my first screenshot of some leg pieces. P.S. I have no info, nor any intentions of creating this kit,,,,,yet. My goal now, is to get it to look aesthetically pleasing once designed, be able to transform, and improve on the points of articulation from the original kit. But, since I'm sure you guys really want to know a price range, the amount of printed parts and the size is probably going to make this kit somewhere in the range of AT LEAST $400, probably more though. Anyways, off to the design! These are the horizontal tail fins and part of the interior of the legs.
