I remember the previous thread discussing about the design and I was wondering to myself about how fine and difficult it would be to print and assemble it. And you made it! My favorite model is the Type01 because of the variable wings but I prefer the smooth curves and the nose design of the Type02. It kind of make me want to print one myself and build it! Type 01 & Type 03 are on the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious to know if you intend to commercialize it or to sell individual copies? Hi, thank you. Initially planning to commercialize it, but it seems to be too soon and has a few uncertainties. my bucket list is to meet SenSei Shoji Kawamori if possible and present him with my work. Meet the person who inspired me to get into design VF and Engineering. After that then plan to commercialize it and maybe short animation after that. Those are childhood dreams of mine.

Chronocidal Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 That is absolutely a work of art, bravo! And I'm guessing that joint is a magnetic ratchet? That's a really nice way to get smooth motion, and solid positions without having gears and teeth that can wear down over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twich Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Yes, I continue to be in awe of your work! Please keep posting pictures of the painted final versions. I saw the Type III you showed the sketch of in your other thread, forward canards! Can’t wait to see that done up as well! Great work! if you do end up selling these as complete kits, with everything you need, I know that you will get many orders from people here on this board! Keep up the excellent work!
