1st Project Robotech Alpha

[goodduck]

Everything looks great but the front. The canopy and nose cone don't looks right. Is that your intention to reshape the front? The shape looks like a goose head right now.

 

[DarkAntzMK-II]

the shapes are almost the same, what do you thing it should look more like?

 

[ThunderChild]

You have a bump in front of the cockpit.
Maybe these pics would help... :thumb:

 

[siberius]

12 inches is a good size! I really dislike miniature models... i'm out of patience with those... so, good for your measure choise :thumb:

 

[goodduck]

TC right. Your bump is too much, need to tone it down. Make it smoother transition between canopy and nose cone.

 

[DarkAntzMK-II]

roger that and thanx for the reference pics TC
@goodduck working on it now

in all honesty...whats considered to big? i like the small detail but thats hard to do when small...id like a decent size....so how big is to big?

 

[ThunderChild]

Actually there's no such thing as too big, it's all relative. If you really want to, you could make this 1:1... though I doubt anyone will build it then...

I personally prefer the standard scales, 1:48 and 1:72

Janx's Alpha is around 1:48 in scale and 11 inches long.
If you want a large model, then I'd recommend something maybe double that size.

i play the rpg and new to all the pepakura stuff are you planing on doing a beta fighter .or mobile syncro cannon.it looks realy good.

 

[DarkAntzMK-II]

well if this goes well, why not a beta? i belive Thunderchild has a beta, but a large beta to fit the alpha would be cool...as for the Sy Cannon...its doable, i love doing something not done...but i have no reference

 

[DarkAntzMK-II]

Simplified cockpit for easy unfolding/folding as well as removed "goose bump"
gave wings 15 * angle like TC ref pic

 

[DarkAntzMK-II]

test build is coming along nicely...
its not folding to prettily as im jut test fitting everything 1st...then i can take my time and build better but im 40%








besides...we all know its the little things that mater

 

[ThunderChild]

Amazing!

 

[DarkAntzMK-II]

Ok..ive completed the white model and its looking good, ive also completed the stand...now its just a matter of skin and release. any pone interested in the white version? final mesurements=

 

[DarkAntzMK-II]

when im finished with this i think ill try to make that Synchro cannon

 

[ThunderChild]

That looks beautiful. You have done a great job on this, you deserve to pat yourself on the back already. I can't wait to see this one colored.

 

[azgard]

Very impressed... the Alpha was always one of my favorites from the show. Looking forward to trying this model

 

[DarkAntzMK-II]

Looks superb. Great work and in quick time too.

As for uploading. You can try MediaFire. You can create an account for free and upload you stuff there. Been using it for over a year now and never had a problem. Also you can add an remove files as you wish, simple and easy.

Just a thought.
