seti88 Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Excited to see the results of the painting to the workroid! Quote
Xigfrid Posted July 26, 2016 Author Posted July 26, 2016 It's available on your Shapeways? Yes it is listed here I listed it on my shop just to let know what is the average cost of such a large figure or you can rotate the models and have a closer look how the parts are made. There are 12 parts, only 11 for the Workroid, BUT you need to order 2x "05_feet". The "2 part container" is great if you can't make your own container with card board or laser cut polycarbonate sheets. I made both options, and I much prefer paying the extra for Shapeways solution!

Jasonc Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Awesome. I'm gonna get one eventually. I know the price of parts there, so I'll probably have to do it in sections at a time. Thanks for making it available. Quote
Xigfrid Posted July 27, 2016 Author Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Making some tests with Tamyia TS 38 spray paint, this paint is very tricky... beautifully tricky with lots of reflections! I also made some test with the yellow paint... and now I understand why everyone says painting with light color is difficult. I gonna need several layers of yellow to completely cover the primer I guess... Edited July 27, 2016 by Xigfrid Quote
Xigfrid Posted August 23, 2016 Author Posted August 23, 2016 Little update: still working on painting... Quote
trojan_gambit Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Awesome. What is the software you used to create the 3D file ? Quote
Xigfrid Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 I've used Sketchup for all my models. Not the best 3D modeling program around, but it was the easiest to learn and to make my first prints with IMO. Quote
mickyg Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 I swear that thing needs a CAT logo on it. Quote
Xigfrid Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 And I could swear that the logo on the shoulder area looks like a white cat. I need to see episode 1 in 1080p to make sure! Quote
Mazinger Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Looks like a "Robert the Riveter" type pose, but using Guile. Quote
edstuff Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Jeez man this is crazy. So what software do you draft these in? I've been wanting to get into 3d printing but only know how to use AutoCAD. Been quite a while since I drafted anything 3d too EDIT I posted this w/o going thru the whole thread. My bad. Surfing on my phone. Can you download sketchup? I'll need to look into it more. Amazing work man Edited August 25, 2016 by edstuff Quote
aaajin Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Man! with all that youve produced these years, Bandai/Arcadia should just hire you already! those look gorgeous! Quote
Xigfrid Posted August 25, 2016 Author Posted August 25, 2016 I meant this one: Haha yeah I understood perfectly that you were meaning this logo My point was that in Macross, they hate using occidental company logos as is, and they usually make a new one that is similar enough to be recognized ... Anyway I will give it a thought because even my pal said that the my workbench looked like a futuristic CAT, so it may deserve the logo. Edstuff, yeah Sketchup is a free program so you can experiment it to your heart's content. Thanks aaajin! Quote
Xigfrid Posted August 25, 2016 Author Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) I had to make a pause with the yellow because the spray can emptied... Using the can instead of the airbrush uses 6-8x more paint... Well I will make some detailling until I receive the new can! Edited August 25, 2016 by Xigfrid Quote

arbit Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I don't know...CAT is cool, but doesn't seem perfect fit for Macross. Quote
NZEOD Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) ... Komatsu... Edited August 25, 2016 by NZEOD Quote
mickyg Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 I should add, I work for a CAT dealership. No to Komatsu! Though at least the country of origin is right... Loving your work on the 'roid so far. I can't believe how much paint it's taken so far though - that's crazy! Quote
slide Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 I should add, I work for a CAT dealership. No to Komatsu! Though at least the country of origin is right... Loving your work on the 'roid so far. I can't believe how much paint it's taken so far though - that's crazy! do an homage to the CAT logo, but spell it NEKO instead... Quote
electric indigo Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 do an homage to the CAT logo, but spell it NEKO instead... I think Kemushi would be more fitting... Quote
arbit Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Neko is good. Or in keeping with SDF, you could misspell Komatsu. Quote
Xigfrid Posted August 27, 2016 Author Posted August 27, 2016 Since I am still waiting for the yellow spray can I couldn't finish the legs and forearms... But I couldn't help assembling it together for a temporary display. There are detailling bits missing but I think it looks pretty cute already! Quote
MechTech Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 That looks great! The paint colors are a great choice too! As far as Macross trademarks go, you can always go eat at MacrossDonalds while out in space on a cruise - MT Quote
arbit Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 I guess you will seat a 1/60 Hayate figure from the DX when it comes out! Quote
