  1. 1. What Scale should I do this in?



Recommended Posts

Another update. Started on the cockpit, finally got the middle hump just about righ, need to make a small adjustment and it's done. I just need to add seats to the cockpit. I may try to add more details, but there are no reference pics as far as the cockpit controls go, so I may leave it flat like it is, maybe add a few details, and just try decals. This is real close to being done, i'm going to try to finish up the small details this weekend, maybe by saturday night so I can send this thing out for printing soon. oh and don't be too brutal on my stand in pilot. He's just a placeholder. :D

Okay another quick update. Got the hinges on the landing bay doors, and I also added the nose stabilizers. Finally got the middle hump the way I want it, Just a few more details and this baby will be ready to go!. I'm hoping to send it to the printers in 10 days so keep watching!

It may be a little tough on the wallet, but a 1/60 mom's kitchen would look great along side a couple 1/60 escort valks...Just sayin',

I'm thinking 3D drawing and printing are the way to go! Keep up the great work! It looks just about perfect. - MT

It keeps getting better and better, tundrayeti :)

And here is another quick update. finally got the entryway, the door mechanics, and the ladder added. I had to take a little libery with the door, as there was no way the design in the lineart would have been functional. (whispers.....Anime Magic :blink: ) Anyway this design will let the door swing out and the it will slide on track in the door and pivot on posts in the swing arm. I left the bottom cover off so the internals can be seen. Added a little door detail and here we have it! Enjoy, more to come soon!!

One more update. At this point she is pretty much done, I just have to add a couple antennaes and a few more panel lines and it's done. So fire away, because in a few days this baby will be off to the printers! Added some controls and seats to the cockpit, and more detail to the landing bay doors. finished up the landing gear modifications so they will be able to just snap in.

Hmmm. I was thinking more along the line of stick vs yoke. This plane seems more to me like an s-3 Viking. Might be interesting to see what others think. I will have the final update tonight as far as the rest of the aircraft goes. Adding a stick would be easiest as well. What do you guys think?

She looks great! If I still built in that scale I'd have to get one! Thanks for keeping us posted. - MT

Thanks again everyone. I was hoping for an update tonight, compter wasnt cooperating. Definately tomorrow and it will be completely done. I will leave it up for comments till friday and then its off to the printers!

Is there any art for the flight deck? Or is it a clean slate?

At any rate its looking good. Though it looks like CAD + 3D printing takes about as long as hand making a master. Both are things I cannot do yet but it is intersting to see the differences in approach between you and the Captain.

Well i can not knock the captains results. His skills are without question. The biggest thing i can say that is the difference is that so far i have used any material, so any mistakes, and corrections are dealt with before any money is spent. So far all i have is time. The other thing i like is that i can post progress, and get feedback before the master is even produced. I worked my way through college as a manual machinist soi have nothing but respect for the Captains skills. Also this is a very complex model, so it did take a little longer, but all i have to do to convert it to another scale is simple math

Cool, my dad owns a tool and die shop, many many Bridgeport Mills, and some really cool CNC machines.

Que bueno que esta te puedo asegurar que si lo haces en escala 1/60 en argentina varias personas te lo van a pedir y si lo hacer en papercraft para descargar va hacer un exito

Amazing, I can assure you that if you do it at scale 1/60 in Argentina several people are going to ask you and if you do papercraft for download will be a hit

Se que es mucho pedir pero todos los model kit de macross deberian ser para descargar

It is a tall order but all of Macross model kit should be available for download

And Here she is the Mom's kitchen in all her finished glory!. Finally done! I will leave these up for 24 hours before I send them off to be printed. I did some shots of the tailhook and the other details, added the stick and antennaes, more panel lines, etc. So have at it guys, in about 2 weeks she will be a reality!. Oh and I also did a 1:1 printing and took a picture with a 1/72 scale ground crewman from hasegawa just to make sure. It looks good to me, but i always want other opinions.

ENJOY!!!

Well I see a lot of views, and no negative feedback so This model is officially in the print stage. I will start option 2 here most likely after Wonderfest when things have quieted down.

Thanks again for all the support guys, That's the reason why MW is the best!

Now another thing that everyone has been waiting for. The Price. Price for this kit will be $110, plus shipping I won't start taking any pre-orders till the masters are in hand and money will be collected after the run is complete. And as always if you can't get this right away, let me know, I always can make more.

As I said previously, 1/60 is possible, we will have to see how this run goes. I do believe there is a papercraft kit that is downloadable for this aircraft somewhere. If not I may have it.
