REF - SDF-3 Pioneer Refit - WIP

thingiverse

Shadow Dimensional Fortress 3 - Pioneer of the Robotech Expeditionary Force. Originally dispatched to establish peace with the Robotech Masters, the Pioneer abruptly plunged into the Invid invasion of the Robotech Masters' homeworld. After a prolonged conflict, she sustained severe damage at the hands of a rogue REF officer and was subsequently rebuilt to her current state. Equipped with two high-powered synchro cannons in place of the destroyed reflex cannons, along with cutting-edge anti-Invid technology, she tracked down and eliminated the renegade officer. Following that mission, she was sent to observe a malfunctioning weapons test. Since then, her status has been classified as Missing In Action. The model scale is 1:4000, designed to match my other Robotech models, which are scaled according to the Hasegawa model kit dimensions. To minimize material usage and costs, the design features hollow sections where feasible. With a wall thickness of approximately 5mm, the resulting model still maintains structural integrity when reduced in scale.
