tankball Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 well guys its time. after some google searching i fond that someone pulled the 3d models from Uta-Macross. sadly it seems like the forums theard the models is on is dead and most of the links that ppl posted r dead but there were a few that worked. thats where i got Minmay this is where i got the files. maybe someone can give that thread live or maybe someone on here can do what these guys did but not have the links die. - https://xnalara.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1590 so in the next few day i'm going to start this build up.

tankball Posted July 24, 2018 Author Posted July 24, 2018 it may not be much but i got the right foot/shoe done Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Awesome! Can't wait to see the finished product. Life-size, right? Wow! Quote
Jasonc Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Are they able to pose them in ways that actually have a bit more life like look and feel to them? If so, it sounds like a fun project that I'd like to take on. I'd probably work on a Sheryl, since I can't afford the roughly $18,000 price tag.. Quote

tankball Posted July 26, 2018 Author Posted July 26, 2018 heres the model being posted. its not 100% done but man he is good. Quote
Jasonc Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Now that's what I'm talking about. Being able to put them in some of their classic poses would make them really worth building. I need to learn about papercraft. Quote

Jasonc Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 If you wire frame it, you could actually bondo it all to smooth it out, and then paint her up as she's supposed to be painted, and you'd have a pretty legit looking statue. Quote
tankball Posted August 7, 2018 Author Posted August 7, 2018 ever so slowly im geting closer to her being done. just got done with the arms Quote
tankball Posted August 10, 2018 Author Posted August 10, 2018 got a bit more done. i may need to do something about yandere girl in the background Quote

tankball Posted August 23, 2018 Author Posted August 23, 2018 im geting ever so closer to her being done. also sadly i cant go to the con, since i dont have the money for a drive like that sadly. i would love to go but i dont want to sound like im asking for a hand out. also yes i know my room is cancer to the eyes and needs to get burned, im going to clean my room up and make it look better, it just gets really messy when im doing a build like this and i really dont want to clean up until the build is done Quote
MechTech Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 That came out great! I would have given up and got a wig to put on her. That is some crazy folding! - MT Quote
Urashiman Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Looks great, good job! But be careful, papercuts you know... Quote
arbit Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 I've been watching Making It on TV with my daughter. I think you would win! Quote
tankball Posted August 29, 2018 Author Posted August 29, 2018 heres some nice DSLR daylight shoots of my Minmay. i think its safe to say her is now done. i do plan on get the part around her arms and wast made out of see though cloth like in the anime and uta-macross. but since idk how to work with the cloth im going to find someone that can help me out. so for now she is 99.9% done in the next day or so i'll upload a video about her.
