Nyankodevice Posted March 6, 2016 Author Posted March 6, 2016 another small update! added more to the Daedalus Bridge wing.... Quote
claude grant Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 The rate @ which you're building this deserves it's own nomenclature...think I'll call it "flash" modeling; in reference to the DC comics superhero! Quite an astonishing build young man. Quote
Nyankodevice Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 another update! more done on Prometheus! bridge pretty much there , and more deck detail done... Quote
MechTech Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 If only we could all have a copy of this in resin! - MT Quote
Palantirion Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 *subscribed* Awesome work! Count me in if you decide to make this a kit! Quote

Nyankodevice Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 not really a update, but wanted to show different angle with bridge attached... also started working on the weapon emplacements, theres alot of work there moved my entire workshop back to my apartment.... was getting cramped in the old place...

mechaninac Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Somehow, the word Epic is too pedestrian and inadequate an adjective to do justice to this project... Quote

MechTech Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I'm voting this one of the best SDF-1 builds, and not just because it started out as paper either... - MT Quote
jenius Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Every time I look at it I hear the Macross theme. Edited March 15, 2016 by jenius Quote
Nyankodevice Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 still working on the guns.... im really not fond of that kind of work, its tedious! but they are coming along nicely uh lookie lookie.... while a was taking a break from the guns and missiles, i slapped this together from a 1/8000 SDF-1 Attacker mode!

MechTech Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Mini Me! If you want some barrels turned in aluminum, just let me know. They have better strength and help with uniformity. - MT Quote

MechTech Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Ooops! The only aluminum stock I have right now is 9 mm in diameter, so a little thinner. It would take me a few hours, but I'll only charge $30 US + shipping. I can bore one end no problem, all the way through may be too week. - MT Quote

Need 4 bored out for Fibre Optics and the plastic ones heat up too much Quote
Knight26 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I so love this build. Is this still papercraft? Are you reinforcing the material somehow? Quote
thereal9thdoctor Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Been out of the loop on this. HOOOOLLLLYYY SH##!!! FRACKING INCREDIBLE! Now I am nervous about working on mine... I want to borrow alot of the techniques from this build... but yeah. Dunno if mine will come out ANYWHERE near this great. Intimidated. 😅 Quote
Nyankodevice Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 I so love this build. Is this still papercraft? Are you reinforcing the material somehow? lets just say that papercraft is the template, which is still inside it.. but for all intents and purposes.... no its probably more correct to call this a plasticraft. its more durable than a regular plastic kit (btw read two of the books, just started on the 3rd, and so far, they are really good ) _____________________________________________________________________________________ update! added more detail to the main cannon mount, also changed the shape of the Beam cannons a litte...

derex3592 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I feel like I should be budgeting for a trip to make a pilgrimage to come and see this awesome creation when it's complete!!! Quote

505thAirborne Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 If you mean culture and music (that Protoculture) done deal!! And yes, Lots of beer!! Quote
MechTech Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) I think it will be alright, not too flimsy. At just a little over 7cm, it's not too long. The tough part will be making the bevel cut into the middle. In fact, I think there are two tapered angles on the bevel versus one constant taper. The attached clip art is consistent with other drawings. - MT Edited March 24, 2016 by MechTech Quote

Nyankodevice Posted March 26, 2016 Author Posted March 26, 2016 almost done with these... also added base coat... still a little cleaning up to do and sanding.. ________________________________________________________________________________________ added base coat to Prometheus. looks nice i think, also first little Vf-1 ________________________________________________________________________________________ dock finished for Daedalus!
