Will order some more later...glad I went nuts on the yamato stuff since they are no more LOL

[robodragon]

Yes maybe time to rethink doing a reactive armor next. ;) ;)

Also if you ever get the chance to take a look at the VF-4 rear leg sliders let me know.

Thanks man :-) Yeah, me too - I really hope it's not the end of the line...

I had a look at my VF- 4's legs, both screw hole covers are strongly glued on, no give at all... I'll try again later, but my work for the year has started up again, so these things are going to have to ease up a bit...

Don't worry tho, I still have every intention to make the reactive armour after the 11's armour.

[dapro]

can someone make the whole super & strike parts set? hahaha

[Kurisama]

Just a quick update, made the head laser for the VF-0A and YF-21/VF-22 available for a couple of the forum members - so I thought some other people may be interested in them too;

VF-0A Head Turret & YF-21/22 Head Turret on Shapeways.

[usagiz]

Can I get a shapeways replacement for the vf-17 barrel cover? Then if you paint it red you have the beam adapter! Pretty Please!

(null)

[Chronocidal]

Actually, that piece was shaped quite differently, and had a different tip on it, but yeah, that would probably be a pretty simple thing to make. Just a big cylinder that attaches over the top of the existing barrels, and gives you a new tip for the gun.

[usagiz]

Granted the full barrel would require a whole new gun, which would be cool. But a simple red recast , would match the animation... References below!

I'll keep in mind, guys! Now, if there are any TF fans out there (ha), I'm starting on some simple TF custom parts;

Classics Prime Gun (Short Grip), Classics Prime Gun (Long Grip), Classics Prowl Gun, Classics Jazz Gun, Classics Bumblebee Gun, FOC Ultra Magnus Hammer & FOC Ultra Magnus Launchers - all use a 5mm peg, so should be interchangeable, will make available after I have received and tested them.

I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts! I value your feedback and opinions much more than the mostly fickle opinions of the TF community... Not that there aren't any valid opinions, just that they're too quick to shoot it down if it didn't appear in the cartoon...

Oh and a sneak-peak of a major project (sorry VF-11 Armour, you have to wait) I'm working on:

Nice FOC Magnus stuff! I think I might have to get this stuff.

[Benson13]

I feel like you're cheating on us.

[eugimon]

Where is that vf-17 bullpup?

[Kurisama]

I feel like you're cheating on us.

Hhhrrrrrnnnngh, I know, right?!

Where is that vf-17 bullpup?

It's on my 'to-do' list! Promise!

[eugimon]

nice, I promise I'll buy two when you make it

[Kelsain]

Was that going to be a full bullpup rifle, or just an add-on for the 17's gun? Cuz I think it would look cool in the 171's hands too.

No rush for me on the VF-11 armor set, I've still got eyes on your Qrau & no money or time, anyway!

[robodragon]

Hummmmmm no matter how I squint my eyes I just can't see how that is Reactive armor for my VF-0.

[Mommar]

VF-17 Bullpup? Did I miss something?

on the classics starscream new arms. Arms looks good. 2 aesthetics things. the hands seem a little too detached from the wrists? minor really. second, the null ray looks a little bit funky with that barbershop swirl design near the middle. otherwise its great.

Just an idea we were throwing about.

They're not new arms for classics SS...

Re-did Bunblebee's blaster to look more intimidating;

Also... made all the above TF stuff available on the Shapeways site, cause papa needs some moolah to feed his plastic crack addiction.

[Benson13]

I got a question, why is it that everything (there are a few that make sense, just not most) on your shapeways store have some weird name that I don't recognize?

[Kurisama]

Call it a bit of paranoia, skating too close to copyright...

Relámpago = Lightning (synonymous with Thunder ('Trueno' in spanish).. as in Thunderbolt.. geddit?) - this was way before I had considered the VF-4 custom head, so...

Hembra Xeno = Female Alien

The rest is either a different spelling or abbreviated to be pretty obvious - does that answer you questions?

[Benson13]

Makes sense. Sorry I didn't hablow the escargo.

[Kurisama]

Haaahahaa, LOL!

[Kurisama]

Aaaand some more:

Boy, these are addictive to make. Not sure if I should be posting here also... should I make a dedicated thread in the 'Anime etc' thread, or add to the 3rd Party thread?

Edited April 5, 2013 by Kurisama

[Kurisama]

Help me out here guys - what looks better - A or B, then 1 or 2?

Also, thruster pieces below - I'm leaning towards C or B... Or should I just include both as options?

[Kicker773]

what is this for?

[mechaninac]

First image: B1 or B2, with B2 being a bit more dynamic looking.

Second image: B, without a doubt.

Now, like Kicker, I want to know what this Gundam-esque thruster pack is for...

[Kelsain]

GIVE ME YOUR ROCKET PACK!!!11!

[Graham]

Just a gentle reminder, non-Macross stuff should be posted in the "other anime" forum. We've worked long and hard to keep the dedicated Macross forums for Macross only.

Thanks,

Graham

[Kurisama]

Thanks for the gentleness, Graham.

I direct ppl here; http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=38902&mode=show&page= for the continuing adventures of custom Shapeways TF shenanigans.

Thanks everyone.

[Kurisama]

Hey everyone!

By request from some members here (on the VF-171 thread), I made this today;

Available in 2 flavours;

4 Missile; http://www.shapeways.com/model/1038379/vf-171-missile-anti-vaj-x4.html?li=productBox-search

6 Missile; http://www.shapeways.com/model/1038389/vf-171-missile-anti-vaj-x6.html?li=productBox-search

As they were made today, they are untested - but should be fine to print, I was careful not to go too small with the fine detail. But know that they may be bounced back. If they are, they'll just be tweaked.

Thanks to Duymon for the ref images!

[Benson13]

Nice. I really need to get me a 171.

[xrentonx]

Damn, you're fast

[Kurisama]

Hey dudes - made the missiles available for your Yammies too;

4x ; http://www.shapeways.com/model/1041384/vf-171-missile-anti-vaj-x4-yamato.html?li=productBox-search
