by the fans for the fans

A little while back I was asked to help model for a small fan video based on the timeline between Macross and Southern Cross, and one of the ideas was to make a transformable version of the Sylphide fighter. I went back and forth for a while and ended up with this model.






I tried to blend a bit of all 3 series into 1 fighter. The Fighter mode was primarily SC, while the Guardian and Battloid modes were inspired by Macross, and the way it transforms is a combination of Mospeada with the arms and wings, and Macross with the legs. I figured that this would be the main fighter of the REF prior to the Alpha, otherwise the Alpha and Beta would be around 25-30 years old by the time of the New Generation, far too long considering the arms race the Earth forces would be in to hope to compete with the Masters, Zentreadi and eventually Invid.

I also made a Tokugawa battleship as well.






I used a number of sources for this model, and tried to give it as many options as possible. It has working turrets, hangar doors and opening bays.

nifty neato-ness

(weird the first time i posted it sent a thank you instead with no post or maybe i just haven't had my coffee yet)

3d models are really great.

You did a great job!

Thanks.
