MacrossVF1 4,341 Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Looks like crap, to **** small, you suck for making it wrong, we hate you because you can make these models that we can not make, just kill yourself! :angry: Yes that sums up how the internet usually express itself. But that's okay I can sustain myself on jealousy as well as awe. For they are but two sides of the same coin. I'm awesome like that. Besides, Joe shouldn't talk. Who else but him would look at a GI Joe toy and think 'That would make a great Star Wars ship.'? That is some kind of awesome as well!

I have been hunting up cool ships that I might get off my wrethced butt and actualley build. The Mandalorians have been a faction that I have hunted up several times in the last year. After getting very familary with their designs, which are very hard triangles and or pyramids and edges, of round and edgey, the HISS tanks jumped up and said; "Hey Dummie... for that edge edge edge look we bleeping rock!" Dammit... it ain't even half fair! 1 MacrossVF1 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacrossVF1 4,341 Posted September 3, 2014 Update! Though not the most interesting one since I'm at the filling and sanding stage. Lots of Milliput and liquid green stuff that needs to be sanded down. 3 Levi Porphyrogenitus, patox and Joe Boss Red Seven reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BenderIsGreat 684 Posted September 5, 2014 To be fair on the scale discussion, classical sculptors made half-size models all the time to work out proportions, etc. There's no reason he can't make a full-size one for himself later. And it's visually interesting, so he should. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacrossVF1 4,341 Posted September 5, 2014 Lower engine assembly is finished and glued into place. I've also spent time doing a lot of panel lines on just about every part of the ship. Better to do it now, before I glue all sub-assemblies in place. 3 patox, Levi Porphyrogenitus and Rob Jedi reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Boss Red Seven 11,292 Posted September 5, 2014 It is getting there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacrossVF1 4,341 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) The bridge/cockpit and the upper engines has been glued into place. Also added a lot of detail to the front. The upper engines should be cone shaped but that is *bleeping* hard to get right. Hopefully what I've come up with will suffice.

patox 2,012 Posted September 7, 2014 Very nice. And here's a screenshot of the AEG-77 on the ground. Notice the human-sized figure standing next to it. Definitely in the 45m range. 1 Levi Porphyrogenitus reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LordCole 573 Posted September 7, 2014 This is good stuff, Macross! Does anyone have a full size image of this? It is the only one I can find linked to the old SWG wiki: How nice would this be to have hanging on the wall? I might do that anyway, break out the blue print materials to make a wall hanger of some other ship. Taking a break from my CorSec CR-90 Interdiction repaint. I am looking at this, the Star Wars wiki is saying this thing has six turrets and two cannons(I assume forward), in the image above we have four showing, which I marked yellow below. What is this on the starboard side, marked in red? Looks like part of the sensor package but it also sort of looks like a rail gun of some kind.

MacrossVF1 4,341 Posted September 7, 2014 I'm pretty sure that two of the turrets are on the underside. As for the cannons and the red circle, I have no idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacrossVF1 4,341 Posted September 7, 2014 El finito! Actually, there is some clean up and the weapons left but the main ship is finished! The first pic shows the detail of what would become the back of each wing. When that was complete I just glued the wings in place. Third pic show the prongs, both sides. Fourth and fifth show the details added to the nose and the last one need no explanation. The prongs are actually not glued into place yet, instead they are held in place with blue tac. 9 Joe Boss Red Seven, Vorpal Sword, SnowWulf and 6 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Millennium Falsehood 1,680 Posted September 7, 2014 Agreed! It may be undersized, but like the CR90, if makes up for it by being really good-looking and cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
