Would be great to get a crowd funding campaign going in the future. I would definitely be all in! Outstanding work you've been putting in.
Thank you. It's really appreciated.
Too bad toy companies don't do these things anymore. Looks fantastic.
Thank you 👍
Badass ❤😂
Thanks 👍
Gotta sneak a chemical/cassette toilet in there! Looking more amazing everyday. Your attention to detail on these prints is phenomenal!
Thank you so much. And you're the 3rd person to ask me about adding a toilet LOL Maybe I'll fit a nice cassette toilet somewhere.
@@ActionRobotPunch Extra points if there's panel lines added to the outside of the vehicle to represent external access. Actually, when you're doing greeblies, make sure to put fill and emptying ports for any fluids the mobile base may carry in quantity. Water, obviously, but also fuel - even if the craft itself uses something non-ICE for power, the scout vehicles probably use liquid fuel.
@@bearnaff9387 Defintely 👍
This is coming along nicely! It's right on the line between realistic and toyetic. Your design does a really good job of implying that every surface and object was put there to serve a purpose. You've got great instincts - the "gun bin" near one of the doors is just perfect.
In terms of realism and play features, you might want to add more clutter and some accessory storage to the cockpit area. More places to leave accessories are always better, and this vehicle is going to need a lot of sensory readouts to be driveable. Multiple small camera monitors around the cockpit to help maintain situational awareness for the drivers would be great. Even if they're gonna pull the feed from whichever camera they need, being able to see even a small image from all the others will be useful.
Thanks so much. I can’t wait to get to that point. Once I start gluing the furniture in I plan to add lots of wires and pipes plus lights. I’m also trying to make it so things can evolve over time. Thanks for the great ideas and for watching 👍
You nailed the OG millennium falcon playset feel. The interior implies so much play adventures and scenarios... no need for a giant nerf dart launcher in the middle of our vehicles Hasbro!
Exactly! And thank you so much.
crazy interior. very cool. love outback chillin in the bunk
Glad you enjoyed it! He needs his down time. Thanks for watching.
That mech carrier is genius!
Thank you. I love how simple it is but it works really well.
I love how this thing keeps developing, excellent job with the interior! You definitely need to find alternatives to use for those back hooks. Do you design figures too? This vehicle will need a driver just for it.
Thank you.
Wow that is absolutely awesome work. The amount of detailed work for that living area masterful. A VAMP bay and you even got a mech transport added Wow.
Thank you very much! That means a lot coming from a great builder like you. I'm going all in on this one. I really want to make a custom mobile armored base. Thanks for watching and for the kind words.
@@ActionRobotPunch Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Very creative use of the interior space. Nice work. 👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
...Pulling out the bondo, industrial design prototyping-style! The interior furnishings look great; you're going all the way with your 3D modeling! One minor suggestion would be maybe to add a panoramic window above the sitting bench, within the semicircular nook -- bulletproof glass, of course! -- to allow more light in. That's a problem with a lot of doll houses: as rooms get deeper and more crowded, ambient light is quickly starved out. Unless you have plans for interior LED lighting?
Thank you. The plan is all LEDs. I'd put more windows and skylights if this was a civilian vehicle but I want to keep it militaristic. I kind of broke that rule with the cockpit but I really wanted to see the crew in their seats driving it. BUT it'd be easy enough to design and print a variant of the current roof without the turret rings and instead have a windowed dome or skylight. Thanks for watching!
Awesome progress!
Thanks!
That's a tremendous amount of work but WOWOWOW it's looking good! I love the design. 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Great build! Your design is spot on. The interior looks amazing. I love the front cab area. It looks like a cross between the Mobile Command base and the drop ship from Aliens. Well done.
Thank you so much !
Wow, that living area is awesome! Can't wait to see another update!
Thank you so much.
magnific project and artwork! awesome! congrat
Thank you! Cheers!
This is awesome. I wish I had the skill set and tools for 3d printing.
Don't wish. Start doing some blender tutorials and save up for an inexpensive printer. Anyone can do it. You just need to take the first steps. You can do it too. Thanks for watching!
This is looking more and more incredible with each update! Very inspiring. Do you think you'll ever try to launch your own vehicle venture? Your designs are second to none IMO
Thanks so much. My own vehicle venture? Maybe but probably not 😁 One off projects are fun but production work, that’s a job. But I never say never.
great job, looks fantastic
Thank you very much!
So cool!
Thanks so much.
You are very talented and creative, you might want to look at the American and Soviet artic vehicles, that's the first thing that I thought of when I was watching the video.
I did look at those. Such interesting engineering! Thanks for the comment and for watching.
I love your content homie! This is some great stuff, makes me jealous haha
I appreciate that. Thanks so much for watching!
In the digital design process you should account for the depth of the print lines and add that measurement to your overall dimensions so that way when you sand the lines down on the model it will be sanded down to the appropriate size.
Wow, you do that? And it works out for you? Thats way more precision than I’m working with. For me, the print lines are a visual issue, not a problem with alignment or structure. And since it’s all designed together in 3d, any print line deviation will be the same in all the parts. But when I need precision I’ll just go to the resin printer I.e. for the furniture. Thanks for sharing your process and for watching.
@@ActionRobotPunch on pieces that need to be pressure fit it’s a viable process but you do great work regardless! So much imagination, I love to see it!
@@005connect9 that makes perfect sense. And thanks for the kind words 👍
Fantastic, are you going to do anything with the floors, or just leave them worn metal? A rug would really tie the room together!
I feel like there should be some screens in the middle section, bu maybe they're built into the beds?
You get to do Security and have a nice lie-down!
Thank you. I want to have lots of wires and cables on the floor as well as raised plates in areas. Rugs are a really neat idea! Thanks for watching.
I love the mundane parts of fantasy and scifi settings. Sure the mechs and action stuff is cool, but how do people live? What are they fighting for?
I'm with you. When designing this I try and put myself in the place of the figures and think about what it would feel like to sit at the table, get into the bunk or man the controls. Where do they plan the missions, store their gear, etc. Thanks for you comment and for watching.
I like it!
Thank you.
Damn this thing looks nice! BTW I watched a youtube video about old soviet arctic explorer vehicles recently, maybe that'd help.
Yes great reference. I saw one that had a plane on the roof. Thanks for watching.
how hard would it be to widen or lengthen the wheelbase, without just buying a new rc chassis, and would it be worth it if you wanted to beef it up? love the new pieces. the body needs more greebles on it. same with the cockpit. but i'm sure you have plans for that already. then hang that motorcycle off the side of the body. might even add the ability to put a trailer on the back. that would give you more room to grow, as well as more things to practice building on.
Easy to change out the chassis. I designed it to be removed with a few hex screws. I do have some plans that I'm going to try in an upcoming video. We will see if my plan works. Greebles are coming, but I haven't gotten to the exterior yet. I'll get another pass of primer/putty and then start adding the crane, grab rails, racks, vents, lights, etc. Thanks for watching.
Man i want to play with that so bad
Thanks. And me too. This is a long project. Thanks for watching.
😎👍
Thanks Terry.
Was there ever a plan for a lavatory (bathroom)? They can't use the sink alone. 😅
So many people asking where the toilet is LOL I may have to add one. Thanks for watching.
Very cool. I am curious on how much you have spend on this project not counting the actual printers and equipment and your time. Just in materials and other toys that have been repurposed accounting for every iteration. I realize this is a one off and the fun is in the bui;d but total costs including consumables for printing... $400? more? How much do you forsee it being once you are done. Thank you
Also someone really needs to do 3d print files of the USS flagg bridge and canons etx. The flagg itself is not much more than a table and I think a loy of GIJoe fans would be happy with a grey painted piece of wood cut to size and dimensions, painted grey, with stickers a base to raise it and 3d printed bridge and other parts. The USS F.R.U.G,.A.L.L. could be a big hit with collectors
How much have I spent? Good question. I'll do a simple breakdown - RC chassis $70, RC upgrade parts $60, Filament $50, Resin $50, paint/bondo $15. That's rough so about $200-250 maybe? Maybe I'll break it down in more detail in the future. I also used up some screws and glue that I have lots of already. And I didn't count the vamp, mech, or figures, but I already had those. To get it done I'll use maybe another bottle of resin $25 and more paint, but I don't think I need to buy more. I did get some model chipping paint for $15. This is such a long project it seems cheap since I'm not buying new stuff but instead working on this :) Thanks for watching.
@@ActionRobotPunch Thanks for the reply.
Please make the USS F.R.U.G.A.L.L next
I sent you some more pictures of my hiss tank customs
Great I’ll have to check those out. Thanks.
What kind of 3D printer do you have
I have a resin and a PLA printer. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for replying I have never 3D printed what resin 3D printer and regular 3D printers do you recommend and are there TH-cam videos you would recommend to learn 3D printing
No Stl file i so want to do a conversation into a space ship.
A spaceship conversion sounds fun. Thanks for checking this out.
Where's the shitter..... dunny, you know the toilet. If you going to make it realistic yon need to go all out. On a serious note wish I had a 3d printer when I was a kid
I'd have made so much stuff as a kid. I can't believe mine aren't more into the technology. Thanks for watching.
