I'm also working on this voltes since I want my own voltes jumbo without robbing a bank. This will be able to separate and combine, but I hope I can do the combination joints properly as it will be heavy and I wouldn't want it to fall into pieces when I lift it.   |

Looks pretty good. Good luck. Thanks, this needs a lot of planning so I won't be wasting filament. Now working on the volt crewzer and figuring out how the head will attach to the body securely.  |

wow.....behold the mighty Voltes V! looking forward for this GW! Thanks, I'm now encountering some design issues I need to solve with the volt lander. I need to design a swivel joint that can carry the weight of the whole jumbo or else I might have to resort to using metals.   |

what 3d program are you using? it looks spot on! I'm still usng Tinkercad but I managed to learn new tricks to make it look smoother. Having a hard time designing some joints as the weight of the whole figure can affect the durability of some parts. If it gets too much to handle I'll probably be printing the non combining version first since the basic model is already completed. |

I've got some work this week but I did manage to do some bit of work on the frigate. I decided to just model the separate ships in the meantime and worry about how they will combine later.   |

Also started on the panzer. How I'm gonna connect the panzer and the frigate is gonna be a real pain to design and I"m thinking of just simplifying this by just having the cockpits removed and replaced with connectors for a more solid combination.  |

Will see if a Facebook photo can be linked and shown here. Voltes is close to done. Am hoping to print some of my parts over Christmas.  |
