Doing the spoilers next? :lol:

Yes. Yes I am.

😁

Testing how it will look and work. And perform. The peak will be around 40-45 degrees. Not bad at all. And each will perform independently.

Well now I'm debating if I should even do a standard matchbox color scheme with this one.

I already have 2 set aside for DYRL colors grey and navy .ish

But know I'm thinking of going a little fun with one.

Maybe metallic dark blue and bone white?

Or go really dark base and do neons with glow paint and and bright detail marking to give it that lit up in space look?

Or stick to my plan of matchbox colts with extended towers and new mold arms...😆

Love the length and destroids are CUUUUTE.IMG_20240618_163440623.jpg.6e9c8dce75147896949240623d4dee6e.jpgIMG_20240618_163405154.jpg.3fffb9d3d2b501533f231b1757f56325.jpgIMG_20240618_163337714.jpg.76b3cebfd4d4eb2e342048be8f8f5cbc.jpg

That is looking incredible.

Do you remember if Sharon Apple was floating or was she on a mobility cart of some sort?

There is no art that shows exactly, but I am pretty sure she floats around using her tentacles.

And I think I have finally figured this out! It needs an open flap.

Finally, fully functioning surfaces on wings.

Now on to next part…

This is cool on so many levels. :good:

When I regularly got on flights last time, I would always choose seats near the wing, peek out the window & watch the flaps working during various stages of flight.

Next model kits really need to incorporate these flaps, perhaps starting with an updated Max Factoy 1/20 VF-1.

Thank you, everyone.

I would do the same whenever I would travel. Take pics on take off and landing. It was always amazing to see how everything worked.

An updated 1/20 would be amazing to have these details incorporated. I am sure they could create a more elegant solution on such a large scale.

Very tempted to use some of these ideas on my G1 Jetfire, but I know better! :lol

 

On another note: wrapping up the Street Hawk project... just need to paint the eyes in on Jesse Mach, a few tidbits on the bike and a final "polishing" of the overall model. It's really gone much better than I hoped, and will take its' spot on the shelf next to Airwolf when finished! :D

BTW: my next project coming up-

Stay tuned...

I had those go bot kits..I liked cykil alot..I know one  sucked and I don't remember putting together alpha or shuttle I think.🤔

I wonder if I still have them?

Well I did find my old mcp black hole models about 20 years ago and built them up...maybe you'll have competition on your build😁

I'd love to see that! :D

And yeah: from what I've heard, the Cy-Kill kit does blow superior....

Wow!!! @nightmareB4macross those are some tiny hinges - amazing work!  Can't wait to see it all painted up.

Thank you.

Paint is still a long ways from now. Many more modifications are pending. But rest assured, we’ll get there.

For the most part, I am still trying to keep the look of original 1/55.image.jpeg.cfde9a7bd1aa5ee6f080a2311ad15753.jpeg

Love the cross-promotionals they used to do. As a kid, I didn't care, but it's humorous now seeing an Alpha* Jet dressed up as Leader One.

Gonna like seeing this one going together!

 

*of course the Alpha Jet actually being the Legioss from Mospeada, thanks to Harmony Gold reworking it into their Robotech.**

 

**which was originally Macross until they got the Rights for the US market...

Ouch my back! I'm getting too old for this.

Guld looks really nice. :good:
Sculpt is pretty sharp. Perhaps just needs to be taller, but I suppose that can be easily fixed at file level before print?

Then I have to start this tonight before vacation starts..this pretty boy is getting a full wash down..polish and fighting before stickers will be applied and that will be one down...3 left to mod😆

Well I still have to make..or exchange his antenna with another guys...then done.

And very excited to do the sdf1 DYRL version. Of him know..did and paint experiment and I got a awesome look for lights for the true anime effect. It just sucks I can't pick it up on camera for crap. It's too bright or too dark when I mess with it. I person it's stunning. I added the best pic I had when I first started farting around.

It's yellow but looks green..but green looks really green ..blue looks neon blue. And when lights are on its barely notice that it's painted..I like it.

One thing I always thought was neat about the original gobots was that they are cyborgs. They originally had a humanoid form and they had to transfer their brains into robots to survive whatever happened on the home world. Also they felt pain thru the robot body. If one was to break a arm or cut it off it was the same as we would feel..altho metal is alot stronger than flesh😂

The brain thing always had me as a kid. Poor guys had so much trauma can u imagine?

 

One last thing that was kinda neat was around 40% of gobot were women. I never really thought about it till years later but damn they just came out the gate with tough women robots..crusher ..snoop..pathfinder...space c...vamp..small foot. and others

 

Pretty cool honestly
