Hi Maverick, please can you put VF-1 1/60 V.2 in one of your dioramas to see what that looks like It would be cool

With these dioramas, I hope that I' m going to make a crazy thing
It's my new custom project... my biggest challenge Of my young career.
If all that I have in my mind, I go to show it in diorama... Houuuuu I think that it' s going to be good for my and yours eyes...


PS: Just one indication: 12 Mechas will participate in the diorama






Salut Maverick, pourrais-tu mettre un V2 dans ton diorama pour voir ce que cela donne?

Avec ces dioramas, j'espère pouvoir faire un truc de ouf.
C'est mon nouveau projet custom... et le plus gros challenge de ma jeune carrière.
Si tous ce que j'ai dans ma p'tite tête "d'endormis" (merci Nexx ), j'arrive à le reproduire ds ce diorama, Houuuuu je pense que cela va déchirer grave...

PS: p'tit indice pour les curieux, il y aura au moins 12 mechas dans ce diorama... je me réjouis de le commencer

[MaveRick]

Nicks: Sure thing.. I will do another photoshoot before the weend ends, my camera's been out of commission, but i'll be getting a new one by wednesday..


Just wanna share my latest project's update:

I have finally started with a large scale version of the launch arm, almost done with the Arm part, I still have a lot of things to figure out especially at how will it be able to hold something as heavy as a yamato valkyrie + fastpacks. and the BP8 durability issue is adding to my concern.. sorry about the crappy pics, just using my cellphone's camera.

[odr78]

Ok... Ma machoir est tombée... avec mes yeux....

Ok My jaws is broken down with my eyes....

[MaveRick]

spent my last 5 days of nothing but either working on this project or going online..

Day 1: Finished Detailing on ARMD Launch Arm

i've decided to make this part a bit thicker than lineart.. with the weight of a 1/48 Valkyrie and a Fast/Strike parts, using even a styrene sheet wouldn't hold it for prolonged time. Some details not present on the line-art were also added.






Day 2-3: Partially Completed Launch Arm's Wrist and 2 Clamp Fingers

I made a mistake at the Finger Plate area.. the yellow/black stripes should pretty much cover the entire plate. Still have to correct it.





Another stupendous mistake was i didn't test fit the clamp on the valkyrie with strike parts on.. it turned out wider than the valk, good thing i haven't permanently glued the finger part together.. quick fix i can only think is have the fingers angled at 45 degrees..

Day 4-5: Partially Completed ARMD Launch Base Section

Used a combination of styrene sheet, cardboard and mat.. im thinking of reinforcing it further with plywood at the back, depending on how it's gonna hold up.






Here's how it looks like so far when put together:

[Ratatarse]

Great job MaveRick, go on !
The looking of your scratch is very, very good !

[Varitechs]

yes very good !!

[Nicks]

It looks so real... Awesome "scratch" Maverick...

I like your job

[Ghostkiller]

Maverick

This looks really really really good Maverick !!!!

1/48 rocks all the way

[MaveRick]

thank you guys.. i'm working on the "signal arm" right now, hopefully i'll get all done including some adjustments on the manipulator's clamp fingers by the end of this week.

I'm also contemplating on doing another custom, either a 1/48 Scale Replica of the Revell Robotech Factory (where i will house a few VF-1 in GBP Armor and the new 1/60 Destroids), a Macross Factory, or a Macross Zero Anti UN Spacy Hanger/Base (for the 1/60 Yamato SV-51s)

Please, if any of you guys have any screenshots/scans/line-art to any of those, i'd be very glad if you share it to me.


merci les gars .. je travaille sur le "signal bras maintenant, je l'espère je vais tout faire, y compris des ajustements sur le manipulateur de la pince doigts d'ici la fin de cette semaine.

Je suis aussi contempler sur la façon de faire un autre usage, soit un 1 / 48 Scale Replica du Revell Robotech Factory (où i abritera quelques VF-1 en GBP Armor et le nouveau 1 / 60 Destroids), un Macross Factory, ou d'un Macross Zero Anti ONU Spacy Hanger / Base (pour les 1 / 60 de Yamato SV-51s)

Si l'un de vous avez des screenshots / scans / line-art à l'une de celles-ci, je serais très heureux si vous partagez avec moi.

[Lancer]

Very great work MaveRicks, i really appreciate You recreate one of my favorite sequence in Macross DYRL (with music...). Go on!!!

Robotech factory like this? i founf only this picture but i think you have it yet...





Super boulot Mavericks, je suis admiratif. Tu recrée un de mes moments préférés de Macross DYRL (le film). bonne continuation.

Usine Robotech comme celle ci? je 'nai trouvé que ça mais j'imagine que tu dois l'avoir également...

[MaveRick]

Lancer: Thanks for the picture.. got the same pic, but it was of smaller resolution though


did the final changes:

- Finger Plate Area change with reference to the line-art
- Clamp/Fingers shortened instead of my initial plan of having it angled
- Discarded the Acrylic reinforcement
- Discarded Clamp articulation, a small metal c clamp, hidden below the finger plate was used in lieu of the acrylic holder.. basically it's holding the valks back part

a few more additions:
- Signal Arm Made
- added details on the launch wrist part
- applied decals


so.. this is basically my completed ARMD Launch Arm and Base

(sorry mods.. flicker doesn't have a thumbnail link as far as i know, so i opted to post here the reduced "medium res" pics)

[MaveRick]

Got exhausted at working on my ongoing project.. but still felt bored.. so finally did something else..

Hey Guys.. just wanna share my New Display Theme for this year..
