Andre Dutra Posted May 4, 2019 Author Posted May 4, 2019 Now that I’ve finished the Yamato and a friend shipped to me extra leds, macross is back to the workbench. LEDs to the legs installed. Quote
Bolt Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 Looks awesome. Are you gonna use an Arduino rig to drive it ? Quote

Bolt Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Very nice! So you’re going to create a water diorama? Wow Quote

Mazinger Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 So is anyone planning a part for March 14, 2021 yet? Quote

Don't tell me these things because I'm a hoarder by nature! It'll whip up an unstoppable buying frenzy. I already have hundreds of kits. Quote

Andre Dutra Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 Now it’s getting into the last steps Quote
kajnrig Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 That is looking fantastic. Too often I see this type of dio and the lights at the feet aren't diffused enough nor... "voluminous", I guess... enough to look convincing. But this is both, and the result is, well, looking fantastic. Quote

But this is both, and the result is, well, looking fantastic. Thanks!! I used 3 micro smd leds on each foot with one resistor of 1.4 k. All connected to a 9v battery. I still gonna add additional weapons, a missile firing and the super parts. Quote
Thom Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Love the light effects and the missiles flying off. Quote

Thom Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 The whole model looks great, esp the water effect. The 'exhausts' from the packs on the otherhand, are the only things I don't like. Sorry. They look more like an explosion effect, rather than an effect depicting an exhaust, and also something I don't recall seeing in the anime. In my personal opinion, I think the model would look just as great without them. And thinking about what's going on in the dio, the Valkyrie is in more of a hover rather than trying to go as fast as possible, so I would assume that the superpacks would be throttled back in this instance.

Good point!! Later I’ll repaint it with with to clear it a lot, leaving just the back more dark. I don’t recall any anime scene with super parts on earth. I just invented it ; ) Quote
