navratilova Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Nyankodevice, i want to start building this SDF-1 papercraft. i know they are number page 1 to 20. but which pages should i start with? Quote
Nyankodevice Posted October 19, 2018 Author Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) start with the center of the ship, then the bridge part... then the side thrusters, and then from there you can build rest in which ever order you wish.. hope that helps Edited October 19, 2018 by Nyankodevice Quote
navratilova Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 thank you nyankodevice. i know i dont have your skills to apply the plastic on the ship but i decide to use foam blocks or Styrofoam to make the ship more solid. Quote
navratilova Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 nyankodevice, do we really need to cut this part? (look at picture) Quote
Nyankodevice Posted April 11, 2019 Author Posted April 11, 2019 not really... i did it to get access to the inside.. Quote
navratilova Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 oh thank you! i was going over the papercraft plans and this cut wasn't making any sense to me Quote
Dobber Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) This is the most amazing piece of craftsmanship I have ever seen. Bravo, sir. Please keep the updates coming. I really hope an accurate TV SDF-1 will be made someday. Obviously not to the level of detail you have done....I’m just disappointed that Hasegawa really dropped the ball on their kit. I only recently became a fan of the ship...both versions....and want an accurate TV version to go with the readily available accurate DYRL Refit version. Thanks for all your hard work on this project. It’s a joy to watch and I’m in awe of your skill. Chris Edited June 5, 2019 by Dobber Quote
Photogirl Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 CAme here looking for detail pics of the SDF-1 for my Hasegawa 1/4000 and not disapointed. Can't believe this is papercraft Quote
peter Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) I've never tried paper craft, might give it a shot one day. Holy crap, this kit is going for over $80 now on AJ Edited July 19, 2020 by peter Quote
Nyankodevice Posted May 12, 2022 Author Posted May 12, 2022 I'm starting this build up again... Also got my first 3d printer.... Let the detailing begin 😁 Quote
DewPoint Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 It is always a treat for me to see everyone's in-progress builds and project completions. Those prints cale out really nice for that scale. I can't imagine the patience needed to paint things that tiny and at the numbers I imagine you are going to want. Quote

arbit Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 Cool! I have the Mars 2. Best thing I learned is to use the default settings for the printer for each resin. Never had a bad print with the Mars 2 except from user error. I think you are really going to like the Elegoo 4k. Quote

I have had the same problem when scaling 3D objects down. Sometimes, for 3D Printing very thin objects, you need to "solidify" them, i.e. make them thicker. 3D Builder, Netfab and Microsoft 3D Repair fix a lot of problems, but they will not solidify an object for you. One option you can use right away is Meshmixer to "Make Solid". You can check youtube for some tutorials. It is a trial and error process to make an object solid using different "Offset" parameters, until you get a result you like which thickens, yet maintains a nice appearance. In some case you may thicken an entire model, or in other cases you may separate parts to thicken an individual part of the model giving problems. Another option is to use Blender "Solidify" Modifier as a first step before Meshmixer, to give a completely non-3d model some depth. Additionally, in whatever design software you use like Blender, you can select specific parts of a model that are too thin to print and thicken them using various techniques (such as fatten, extrude, scale). Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Quote

Nyankodevice Posted May 21, 2022 Author Posted May 21, 2022 A little update... Maybe I should make the scene from outside the hospital Quote
Knight26 Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 AMazing detail, even at that scale. What is the ship in the background? Quote

arbit Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 This is off the hook! Looks like a cool Macross City addition. I was thinking we need a 3D designed Macross City that fits in the 1/3000 and the 1/4000 SDF-1 leg. Quote
Nyankodevice Posted May 27, 2022 Author Posted May 27, 2022 progress in the ship weapons department... missile turret Quote
