gwfalcon Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Lots of us, including me, enjoy the Cap America's 1D kits. Just want to give the head a bit more anime feeling. Here we go, what is shown below is a unit I got using a printer just bought by my university. Quite nice quality. Will try to add the transparent eye laser to make the surrounding edge a bit smaller. Let me know what you guys think, Edited February 24, 2013 by gwfalcon Quote

vt102 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Not bad....too bad the other images do not show. Quote

gwfalcon Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 Turned out great!!! Thanks buddy!! You guys got an Objet Eden?Bro, you are indeed professional! Yes, object 260. Quote
claude grant Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Love this design & look; question is can I still get a 1D kit from somewhere? Any help community? Quote
gwfalcon Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 Love this design & look; question is can I still get a 1D kit from somewhere? Any help community? I am sketching a 1D kit based on 1/60 ver2 design. If you can wait, buddy. Quote
claude grant Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Gdub, don't tease me like this...do you really mean an honest to goodness 2-seater upgrade kit for the existing 1/48? You doggone right I can wait! Man please don't let me down on this one! Quote
vt102 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I am sketching a 1D kit based on 1/60 ver2 design. If you can wait, buddy. While you doing that... how's about a VT/VE sketch for the 1/48???? Hint.... hint.... Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 That looks amazing. I'm still so blown away by the whole idea of ready-manufactured plastic on these printers. It's like we're living in the future or something! Quote
gwfalcon Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Gdub, don't tease me like this...do you really mean an honest to goodness 2-seater upgrade kit for the existing 1/48? You doggone right I can wait! Man please don't let me down on this one! Haha, sure, will keep you updated on that, either here or PM. While you doing that... how's about a VT/VE sketch for the 1/48???? Hint.... hint.... Yap, I started it but its not very easy. The main challange comes from the reshape of the upper cockpit part. It is different with the 1D 2-set layout and I also intend to merge it with the bottom part perfectly. The work on multi-path loft and surface reforming are quite time consuming (fortunately totally acheivable). Also, because of the adding of other additional parts like vertical tails, the total cost will go up acoordingly. So far just want to create a set for fun and dont know how many are really interested the 1/48 one. Honestly, 1/48's era has passed away, although I am still sticking to this design. That looks amazing. I'm still so blown away by the whole idea of ready-manufactured plastic on these printers. It's like we're living in the future or something! Thanks buddy. Same feeling!

vt102 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I forgot about all the other pieces that would be needed for those. The 1D is alot easier to build... cost wise. Did you try and see if a shorter nosecone piece is possible? One similar to the V2 1/60's? Since the 1/48's are detachable, you could make a stubbier one. I would buy those for my 48's.... along with a 1D conversion. I have an extra super Hikaru I could chop up. Quote
claude grant Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Selfish bump...I just can't stop looking at this upgrade & imagining it on my extra Angelbird w/Super VF-1J's TV Armour also! Pm'ing u Gdub w/a boatloada questions. Quote
