The Old Man Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Just, wow. Such impressive work, can't wait to see the finished model. Bravo sir Quote
DarkArchon3000 Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Can't believe that is papercraft. Amazing job! Quote
mickyg Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 My goodness, that is a masterpiece! Just out of random curiosity, how much will it weigh when complete? Quote
505thAirborne Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Amazing what you can do with paper, very impressive. Can't wait to see this SDF-1 with a paint job! Quote

007-vf1 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 This is pretty amazing.. I'd like to know of your process on smoothing edges, ridding off seam lines and how you build the core of the pieces.. Quote
Nyankodevice Posted August 21, 2014 Author Posted August 21, 2014 This is pretty amazing.. I'd like to know of your process on smoothing edges, ridding off seam lines and how you build the core of the pieces.. in other words you'd like me to show it step by step? not a problem.... ill make a pictorial soon then...

Knight26 Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Wow, I can't wait to see it all painted up Quote
Nyankodevice Posted August 21, 2014 Author Posted August 21, 2014 time for a little update!! this is the finished inside of the main thusters... this will be the "blue" color im going with, also with details.... still need to add shadows and weathering.... its a variant of insignia blue, looks even better in daylight!! Quote
Hikaru1234567890 Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 What a masterpiece!! I tried making this one time...but I have pretty shaky hands. That is a lot of detail and personally, I think that is a lot better then when its just printed out. Oh and a...if your interested in selling it...SELL IT TO A DANG MUSEAM SO YOU CAN MAKE A FREAKING FUNCTIONAL SDF-1!!!!! Quote
big F Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 time for a little update!! this is the finished inside of the main thusters... SDF Macross details 3 (2).jpg SDF Macross details 3 (3).jpg Do I spy HP laptop fan grill in those thruster builds? Tangently on topic old pc hard drives have one or two of those magnets in each on the read heads they have really small ones great for attaching stuff. Beyond Awesome work. Some insights into your methods would be great, I failed last time I tried to do this with a paper craft model. Quote

Oh and a...if your interested in selling it...SELL IT TO A DANG MUSEAM SO YOU CAN MAKE A FREAKING FUNCTIONAL SDF-1!!!!! thx im so exited now that its so close to completion! People around do say i should go bigger next time!!! Do I spy HP laptop fan grill in those thruster builds? Tangently on topic old pc hard drives have one or two of those magnets in each on the read heads they have really small ones great for attaching stuff. Beyond Awesome work. Some insights into your methods would be great, I failed last time I tried to do this with a paper craft model. Thx actually those "grills" are hand made from scratch based on resin parts from Yamato's 1/3000 SDF-1 assembly kit.. The trick is to make it sturdy ill make a pictorial after the completion of this model where i step by step show the process of making a part for this cruiser.

Nyankodevice Posted August 25, 2014 Author Posted August 25, 2014 Hi all! I actually have an update already... cant believe i can keep finding this much time to do stuff well first on the menu is the lift thruster and here a nearly complete Prometheus and Daedalus! Quote
jvmacross Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 wow...just wow.....you are probably the only person not waiting...no, not needing to wait....for an Arcadia TV SDF-1...... I look forward to seeing the completed model.....thanks for sharing! Quote
Nyankodevice Posted August 25, 2014 Author Posted August 25, 2014 wow...just wow.....you are probably the only person not waiting...no, not needing to wait....for an Arcadia TV SDF-1...... I look forward to seeing the completed model.....thanks for sharing! tx alot if Arcadia ever makes the TV version im gonna buy it, how could i not? Quote
jvmacross Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 tx alot if Arcadia ever makes the TV version im gonna buy it, how could i not? If they released one with any less detail than yours...it would be disappointing....Honestly, the guns don't even rotate on the DYRL 1/3000 they released.... When yours is completed...someone should tweet a pic to Mr. K... Again, very impressive work! I can't wait!!! But I will... Oh yeah...the other guy that doesn't really have to wait.... Quote
Nyankodevice Posted August 28, 2014 Author Posted August 28, 2014 OK today i have a treat for you guys, im gonna show you the SDF-1 fully assembled and painted.... bare in mind that the weathering is not finished yet, and still need striping in various places, like the yellow stripe around the main engine thrusters, the red striping on the "shoulders" and midship. the Rail Cannons still needs some paint... Anyway here we go!! Quote

Knight26 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 God dang it, my jaw shattered it hit the floor so hard. Quote
505thAirborne Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Hey Arcadia, are you seeing this? This is what the TV SDF-1 should look like, its that awesome!! Quote
Godzilla Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 HOLY F*&^KING $#!+! That is damn impressive. Quote
MechTech Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 That's WAWSOME!!! Great work with paper AND paint! Too bad we can't get resin copies! - MT Quote
