Do you use the scanning and printing equipment at work? Or is it your own? Do you work at Neves-Corvo?
I'm so excited to make one when you are done. That 1/35th lit one is mine
Shame this had to be moved out of the Studio Scale section as the methodology, tools, techniques and scale are definitely more relevant there than to the majority of kit builds in the general modeling section. Oh well... I'm just glad I found it. Zap, your work is amazing! I especially like the reverse engineering of the existing kit and donor parts. And this might push me over the edge into getting a Form2! Keep up the good work.
One thing that I think the studio scale models guys might be interested in is the ability to scan old parts and reprint them.
If I had access to a really good scanner I would scan parts from kits and build up a library of parts.
So far I've had to settle for making a 2d scans of a part tree and building the parts by hand in 3d.
Then again maybe hunting down and finding the old model kits is part that the studio scale guys enjoy.
I'm sure a lot of the kits are starting to get hard to find.
My hats off to them, that's a level of OCD I haven't achieved yet.
Start up a conversation Kow Yokoyama and Hasegawa.
Maybe they would be interested in mass producing the kit.
You've done most of the engineering for them already.
This Mak design is 'borrowed' from an old Hasegawa kit called Operation Omega.
The original was based on a space shuttle

No Jason, a Form2Using a Form 1?
You're nuts - great!!!
