Olitech Industries Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 More stick-work. Finding the correct proportion/size is tricky without real measurements. Anyone have any references for sizing/dimensions for the controls? Even ballpark would help tremendously. I'm using my best (educated) guesses for most of this.

Olitech Industries Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 The thumb buttons kept bugging me. Detail on the tops were cool, but the form just didn't feel Macross enough. These ones are much better. Will detail them later. Made some cooler knobs for the base plate. Still all placeholders. Hope you're all ok with bokeh!

Olitech Industries Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Ok since I was fixing the buttons anyway... Better styling on the thrust lever. Looks way more pro now. It was getting to boxy and clumsy-looking. A smidge more ergonomic, and a whole lot sexier. Looks like you wanna hold it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olitech Industries Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Bumping this thread to let you all know Im still alive. 😃 Can you believe this was my first post? I gotta clean these up, and also the instrument panel; so that I can send the models to Dodiano. He volunteered to make these in 1:1 for real! Physical prototypes!!! Just getting my pesky day job out of the way so that I can continue this jet. Talk soon! O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great honour to hear from you Sir Rodavan. You’ve been one of my major Macross 3D inspirations for a couple of decades! True story. I always wanted to ask you if you would let me texture/render/animate some of your models, but was always too afraid to ask. I’m good at rendering. 😃 On another note, Alex Villareal says “hi!”.

Rodavan Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Hi Olitech - Thank you for the kind words - I wish I had more time to model . Unfortunately - I had a bad experience with somebody using my models , so I don't share them anymore - but maybe in the future .... keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
