Today I printed the 3D plan of version 2 of my Primary Buffer Panel I’m working on for a while in Wings3D now. Jumped a lot of hoops to convert STL to SVG only to discover that Wings3D has an export for that built in xD
This is loosely based on a Macross Valkyrie cockpit (the rest of the world may know that as Robotech). It’s still WIP and I’m still moving stuff around.
The print gives me the opportunity to get a feeling for size and proportions for the first time. Damn… that’s huge 🤓
Using cardboard for the mock-up really helps me to get a good understanding how stuff will look in the end. On both sides.
I’ve no idea what I’m doing but the mock-up is coming along. Already identified some problematic corners where I have to make changes to my plan.
