MechTech Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 That looks AWESOME and accurate! I'm trying to figure out if it'a resin or styrene. Either way it would be cool to have. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 is the bigger one the Battle 25 or 7? was it released earlier and where to get one? the sign on the back says __ K Models. there's an ebay seller named GK Models who sells MaK and Macross resin stuff. i wonder if it's the same. i suppose the MQ in the foreground is the Mechacolle? would be cool if the Battle and Uraga were scaled to that. definite WANTs!

From what I understand the model is a prototype 3D print, not on sell yet. Size unknown but looks small. The Chinese characters in the picture “舰匠” means "Ship Craftsman" so my guess is Ark Model. I just emailed them and maybe they will respond. Edited July 29, 2020 by EastwindS2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Battle 7 to me based on the details like the "shoulder pauldron" and legs. Unfortunately I don't think they're to scale with each other. The Macross Elysion is supposed to be double the length of the Quarter so... around 900-1000m? The Uragas are 550m so they'd be a little more than half the length of the Elysion. So judging by the pic, the Battle 7 is not in scale with either of the other two as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Why make these just as exclusives and exclude the rest of us!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I ask myself that same question when a valk is released for 190.00 and people sell it for 400.00 excluding the rest of us. Or create a limited preordered amount and exclude the rest of us. Wonderfest items are limited since they are created by private company or modelers that have to pay fees to show them at the festival and also pay fees to allow them to create limited amounts of the kit. So yes, limited. Artists may create limited runs out of the fest but is often frown upon just how people recast official released models.

Sanity is Optional Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 4 hours ago, Thom said: Why make these just as exclusives and exclude the rest of us!? Short version, as I understand it, is that Wonfest is able to hand out day/weekend licenses for IP such as Macross. It's a way for garage kit makers and other "grey" parts of the Japanese hobby world to create and sell products without getting sued.

electric indigo Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Your 3D models looks great! What printer do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gidiot Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I use a Phrozen Transform. as for printing models... I might put them up on shapeways, but they'd be kinda expensive in Fine detail plastic.... and I don't know if they'd hold together in the regular plastic. I no longer print to sell myself, way too much of a hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
