Good grief, MW! look what you me do!

[cannon_fodder674]

just sitting at my pc all day, cant buy a valkyrie model kit. and then maya came to my life. ended up doing this:

now im loathe to finish this. maybe i could get this to transform someday lol

[VFTF1]

Looking good!

I couldn't do that if I wanted too. Or maybe I could if I even knew what Maya was Still... can you fill in some colors? Maybe make a custom? Minmey Gaurd or something?

Jesus. Whenever I try to make a valk model, I never seem to be able to get it to work...

I oughta learn how to model, one of these days.

thanks.

I didn't think I could do it either. it took me half a week, and i had search youtube for some how-to stuff.

I'll do the details and paintwork after I'm done with the model. Ive yet to finish on the underbelly (hence the perspective view ' )

@ SchizophrenicMC:

I compared my model to your avatar, and I think I'm probably out of scale lol.

[SchizophrenicMC]

Well, actually, I'm somewhat certain my avatar's out-of-scale, due to its insane perspective, but I'mma let you finish.

[chillyche]

Yo Cannon Fodder, I'ma let you finish. But Datterboy has one of the best CG Valks of the decade!

Har har. Schizo really made me say that, I couldn't help it. (See, I even dragged somebody else into it)

But seriously, nice work so far. I'm not much of a mechanical modeler myself, though I can eek by in a pinch. Just wanna say, if you want a challenge, come join Macross Aria, because I will put you TO WORK! I mean... er... we'll all collaborate and have fun making something really awesome.

So I herd u liek Macross.

Anywho, with a little more practice, I really think you could be a good addition to Aria. I mean, that model ain't too shabby and it's not even finished. So, with a little spit and polish for your skill, I completely agree with Che.

Yep, I'm an old-school macross fan whos been lurking in this forum for a long time and scouring MW for pics and whatnot lol.

I doubt i can do anymore spit and polish with this model, seeing as my pc is kinda ancient. I've seen your work on aria, and i dont think i'm at par to that level yet '>

@chillyche

yes I've seen datterboy's cg work and others too. apparently mine pales in comparison to theirs lol.

[Rodavan]

cannon_fodder674 - Everybody starts somewhere , the good thing is you started to model , so keep going it's a good start

[cannon_fodder674]

i added the forearm and shoulders in the underbelly, and shaped the foot thrusters.

again, this pose. It's looks kinda cool from this angle:

that's it. the next screenshot you see of this is either a finished or a junked one lol.

thanks for you sopport, MW.

Hey, I'm excited to see how this thing turns out. Datterboy's model made me want to quit modeling completely when I first saw it. Then I realized, wait, no, it's inspirational!

Anyway, there's room for all skill levels with Aria. I'm nowhere near Rodavan or Datterboy or Aztek, but I think I did a snazzy job with that RMS-1 that I modeled. And there's need for a lot of stuff like that in the project, just so you know. It's not all super-high-poly hero models. We still need our 55mm shell casings, which nobody has stepped up to model yet.

And, you know I was just messing with ya a la Kanye with that Datterboy thing, right? Because I encourage everybody of every skill level to post their models and I encourage everybody to give useful constructive criticism (unlike Kanye). Right now, it's a bit early in the modeling process to tell, but you've gotten over the biggest hurdles -- getting the proportions to actually look right in 3d (of course, if you try to slice it up for transformation, that's another headache waiting to happen).

You're a good liar and all, and I'mma let you finish, but Obama is one of the best liars in the world!
