These models were not seen frequently. Very Cool diorama.

Brilliant!! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Awesome!! I have the original one from the 70's, the box was pretty bad and in a cupboard in the garage - LOL. I finally brought it in to work on it. I may go a head and get this one as well, we'll see.

You were lucky to find that kit for so cheap. Great work, nice build.

The design of this makes me wonder if the movie was at all a response to SeaQuest's brief popularity.

Beautiful Job man x

This my fav spaceship from that movie

that's I like, build for looking more better for display 😊 special with fill some light inside ❤

Well.... ok I'll pushing the button 😊 hope keep focus on project, so could be some references to me. Thanks

It would be a lot better without the annoying "music".

This looks like a 1/18 scale. 🤔

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!

Wish this was a plastic kit i have the small one I love Macross or Robotech Long live S.D.F.1😊😊😊😊😊

Beautiful kit, but the wings are crooked.

@6:06 -- Attention to details, Folks! That's why he's a detective! LOL

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!

Looks awesome I just finished printing the same file today. Would it be possible to get the files for the mods you did on the model and again your ship came out great it looks like I remember, well done.

Nice! 😊

All the Zentradi ships all had a very organic look to them. Your techniques did a great job! The final effect really reminds me of the Doomsday Machine from Star Trek TOS. Request you please include a link where we could request the file.

What scale is this?

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!

I have also built this kit in the 1990's and think you did an outstanding job. I remember my kit comming with an extra Exador figure miniature. Anyone else remember that?

I have this one, made it 30 years ago… time flies

That lighting is sick.

You needed an alien tongue to read, let alone speak Zendraati.

The officer's name was Commander Dosul if I remember. He was Admiral Gloval's arch-enemy throughout the first Macross series.

Gotta fire the Main Gun for a minute to fry that Not-So-Jolly-Green Gigant...

That Zendraati flagship made the the Macross look like a Veratech...

You showed your face! That collection is clutch...

Thanks for the video; I see so few vids about painting a Mon Cal cruiser, its nice to see your process and the final result was excellent!

Sick. Sick sick sick sick.

That looks great! I never thought about lighting this kit. Incidentally, I've been building this and the three other Zentraedi starships simultaneously for my own channel. It's nice to see someone else building this kit, and the choice of colors.

Possibly my favourite build to date. Wonderful work and I can't wait to see the larger craft project being realised. You're the BOSS!

Awesome build! Thanks again for the shout out! Keep up the good work

I like the dude fishing!

Love Macross! Fantastic work! Can I ask what settings you used on your FDM? That cityscape looks fantastic.

very nice.

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!

I only just recently found your channel and subbed! Great diorama, I now look forward to binge watching your older content and seeing what new creations you make in the future. Great job!

Even though that ship never entered Earth's atmosphere, this turned out really nice!

Very cool project, love the sense of scale with the city below

The plan whenever I do my Flagship is to use Olive Drab for the top and Neutral gray for the bottom of the hull.

I do need to build my kit of the Zentraedi flagship.

Commander Bretai

Built this in 1980, still sitting on my shelf along with the Drakonian fighter.

Interesting! The city below makes it work.

Absolutely gorgeous 😮
