    TLDR: Just an update. I've been working on dialing the blue some more and started with the light blue-gray parts. Sorry just took some quick shots with my phone's crappy camera. I didn't want to pull out the DSLR for pics just yet. Quick note: everything is held together with blu-tak. Yes parts are slotted and keyed and yes there are clear parts for the forehead sensor. I didn't add them in because they are small. The left is the first blue part (from last week), the right was printed up this past Friday. I know it looks a bit washed out and lighter (I had the overhead LED desk light set on high). On the light's first setting it looked more correct, the 2nd blue printout is still connected to the supports, the first blue color is the top of the VF1R head (and the spare/scrap support/raft next to the YF-21DX head): Yea the desk LED light's high setting really washes out the colors. I'll try to add a bit more blue to the light blue-grey for the second test/set: Spoiler for a little write-up and some earlier WIP pics: Canopies, check the following spoiler: And modeling up more parts... Spoiler for more pics:

    That is an excellent question we do not currently have an answer for. We know there are some health conditions, principally genetic ones, which prevent a person from safely using a micloning system and we know that the miclone system can both remove and install biotechnological components of the body like the Meltran bio-fiber optic nervous system or a records officer's expanded memory. There's no word on whether micloning can work with cybernetics or even more minimal body mods like tattoos and piercings. Since giant Zentradi are prohibited on Earth and aren't present in most emigrant fleets or planets for resource reasons, this may be something of an academic question even in-universe. Supplemental material for Macross 7 indicates that Exsedol did spend time among Humans as a miclone toward the end of the First Space War as we saw in the Super Dimension Fortress Macross TV series. It's noted that, by the time of the Macross 7 fleet's departure, he had returned to his giant size and original body plan because he was concerned that his miclone form's smaller size might mean reduced memory and information analysis capability compared to his specialized giant form. Ernest Johnson is a half-Zentradi "peace child". Exactly what's going on with that metal on the back of his head is unclear, but it may be related to his unusual body proportions. Macross Delta Character Design Works has some notes that suggest Ernest's height and unusual proportions are not natural, but are instead the result of some quirk of his half-Zentradi genetics not playing nice with repeated use of micloning systems and leaving him slightly deformed with a Hellboy-like physique. It's possible that metal bit is reinforcing his skull due to those micloning-related health issues, or perhaps it's simply an affectation because he's bald? (For instance, TV Vrlitwhai's "eyepatch" wasn't an implant... it was basically just an outlandish eyepatch bolted directly to his skull to cover up an injury.) That's a good question, which we don't have an answer for. Perhaps it's too great of a strain on the body and mind for a severely injured person. Maybe the system really is THAT doggedly precise that it'll recreate injuries and scar tissue not just run off a copy of the body based on its DNA. Or maybe it's something to do with the genetic issues that prevent some people from using micloning systems safely that have been mentioned several times since Macross Frontier. Klan Klan, Michael Blanc, and Ernest Johnson are all mentioned to have (or be at risk for) issues caused by miclone systems.

    Thanks for the compliment! It’s supposed to be the VF-1D but lacks any details for the most part. Have a look.

    Absolutely stunning! Is the head the standard VF-1D type or is it the VF-1C? It’s hard to tell. Can’t wait to see your next projects. 😍

    Well that’s a wrap. My first aircraft build is complete and I want to do more. It was a blast! Sun came out so I got a few photos. There are some things I messed up on which is a given for me, leading to plenty of learning moments In this simple kit. It was fun painting over a darker/colorful underpainting. That might have been my favorite part. I also added a few minor details here and there and I’m so happy with how it turned out.

    Apologies for the guideline violation,sorry, I was using an image size reducing app and I thought that had reduced the size enough but clearly not. I realise that's the same mistake I made last time but I thought this time I'd done things correctly.

    How are the knee ratches on your copies holding up? I've since just relegated mine to the display stand, but after a couple of week's worth of posing, they got really floppy.

    That leads my weird brain to another rabbit hole of wondering. Can Zentradi (or anyone, actually) with cybernetics get micronized or macronized? The cloning tanks presumably wouldn't copy nonbilogical material into the new scale. Is that why Exodor was still big in M7? And does that mean that the captain of the Elysion in Delta (forgotten his name for the moment) got his prosthetics after humanitarian? Also makes me wonder why you wouldn't just use micro/macronization as a treatment anytime someone loses a limb or has grievous bodily harm. Their DNA still has all the right parts, just grow them up/down and they're good as new again.
