Cool Beans!! I have all of the Zentraedi vessels from 'Arii' ( I think that was the brand ), BUT ... I always felt that the "command ship" was Way to short compared to the rest of the Zentraedi fleet!! (so I bought two [2] of them to "fuse them together"). Seeing this and the CAD files, I Might get the eighteen (18) inch version to kinda match up with the rest of the fleet.

Thank you for this! I was the one who did the modifications for printing and came up with the cube connectors system for it. :) I didn't create the original file (it was solid), just made it larger and split for easier printing. I'm stoked by how well it turned out! :) Have a great day!

@AvengerII24 күн бұрын
NOTE: I wrote this BEFORE I saw the scale-up. The six-incher (edit: okay, he said "18-incher") looks TOO CLEAN to me. I've seen drawings and animation of this same ship that shows a LOT more battle scarring, "acne bumps" and so on that makes the Calamari cruisers from Return of the Jedi look like a smooth-skinned beauty contestant! I'm sure this model's generally accurate (EDIT: referring to the six-incher, NOT the 3-ft version) but it seems like it needs more scarring detail, darker green (olive-green?) and more rust colors. Then again, the same series (Macross) couldn't decide in the last episode if the SDF-1 was fully restored or a near-wrecked, rusting hulk! LOL Talk about continuity issues and a tired production staff!

@1:28 -- Heh heh! The dangers of commenting TOO SOON before the video! Wow... Radically different details in surfacing between the "downscaled six-incher" (re: 18-inch version) versus upscaled 3-footer. Detail explosion in evidence, Folks, as we scale up! Zentraedi ships SHOULD show evidence of bad repairs, weak welding and just generally haphazard, incompetent maintenance!

Great build! I have one of these on the way and it’ll be my third model to build, and second they’ll be lighted. I’m buying parts to get prepared for the build and I was wanting to ask what size red and green LED’s you used for the saucer and what do I need to get them to blink like yours? Also, how did you do your lighted bussard collectors to get them to flash? Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!!

My only problem with this is the cockpit ladder should be on the left/port side instead of the right/starboard because of the way the Y-Wing cockpit door opens.

It's been a long time since I've seen this 1/35 scale X-Wing kit, noticeably bigger than the old *mpc* kit from 1978 which is some weird box scale that isn't exactly 1/48 scale, always hard to find a pilot figure that can pass as a rebel pilot with that one. Very nice work!

To give an idea of scale -- The SDF-1 Macross is supposed to be 3/4 of a mile long. The Zentraedi flagship (Breetai's vessel) is roughly 2.5 miles long! Yeah, ridiculous! I don't know why sci-fi does this. Most ships in real life are less than 100 ft long with most ships being well under 1,000 tons! We've built supercarriers up to 1100 ft long (85,000 tons+) for roughly 65 years but they haven't changed shape or dimension much. They're the largest practical ships for their use as a mobile airfield. There just hasn't been any point in building them larger! The largest ships are actually tankers and those like Knock Nevis's class generally have not been successful ships; they're just too large for most purposes and don't pay off very well. This business of 1,000-3,000 ft long ships in sci-fi is ludicrous! They're just not practical and the energy requirements to move them are enormous. Improbability drives indeed!
@hikarubАй бұрын
Yes, scale is off the charts! LOL. The cityscape looks cool, though it probably should be much smaller. The SDF-1 did pack a small city from Macross Island inside it so some of those buildings in the city would be miniscule compared to both ships.
