So, after long hours of adjustments and tweaking, here's the final model of the revised version of Rokuron Q9. I have to say that I'm pretty happy with this version as I've had some frustrations with the first replica like I've explain before.
The first one was a good opportunity to test the technique and see how I can work with that. It actually opened lots of perspectives and ideas so it's cool. But I wanted to have something more close. Like for Garada, trying to capture the soul of the original toy and what is fascinating about it was a good challenge.
There's maybe a few things here and there that I will improve and of course I will have to make all the usual technical modeling before launching any 3D print. And all this will probably wait a bit as it's time to go back on Lenzari and finish that part for him.
So here's the images of the Rokuron. I will probably try some more because it seems that the lens I use distort the one on the side a bit too much, so might have to adjust that. They look a bit weird to me for the moment.

Thanks a lot guys. I'm trying to get as close as possible to the original as I'm more and more convince that this is probably the closest thing I will ever be able to get when I see how hard it is to get the real one. For this version I will not make any compromise and send it to the 3D printer only when I'm 100% happy.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your kind words.
Cheers
Mike
a beautiful job
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!! Mike I imagine you are the only person on Earth that has attempted to re-create the Q9, it seems you have done it !!!
ReplyDeletePlease email me if and when it is possible to purchase a Q9.
Best of Luck! Eldorado eldorado666kaiju@yahoo.com
Thanks a lot Eldorado. Well I think that there's other replicas out there, but made using a real one and sold as real one.
DeleteMine is purely digital build.
But I'm not planning on selling any, just tempted to upgrade my first replica with another one more accurate but it's not for tomorrow. Still a lot of things to do before.
Thanks again for your kind words and enthusiasm.
Cheers
Mike
