Ryuji Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Starting another scratch build model... I didn't decide yet if I will change arms pose.
zeo-mare Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 i look forward to see this kit finished i am a huge fan of Macross 2036 for the PC engine so this is a very cool addition
1 VF-1 2NV Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Wow. Another one. Keep em coming. You should do most if not all the macross characters . Isamu, Max, Basara , etc....
chowyunskinny Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 WOOHOOO!!!! It has begunl... Please keep us updated Ryuji
min Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 man...i know this one will be beautiful too. can't wait!
Jasonc Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 B-E-A-utiful!!! Can't wait for updates and a finished product. Hope this is an item that can be bought as well.
UN Spacy Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 Things are coming along very nicely Ryuji! I remember having that picture of Komillia on my binder during my freshman year of High Schoo. Boy that was a long time ago. I can't wait to see how this turns out.
Yohsho Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 Hope to see more pics of this being made. Make sure you remember to make the helmet a macross one and not a gundam one.
Guest Bromgrev Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 I can see this is going to turn out another masterpiece. Just don't post it anywhere when it's done!
Myersjessee Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 Thanks for sharing this buildup! I can't wait to see more!
the white drew carey Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Not to be a nagging ninny, because you do great work, but isn't this more of a kitbash since you're using a pre-existing kit as your starting point?
Mule Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 (edited) Not to be a nagging ninny, because you do great work, but isn't this more of a kitbash since you're using a pre-existing kit as your starting point? Had to think about that a while (it's early , the gears are moving slowly). At what point is the original kit(s) so bashed that the model crosses over into the realm of scratch build? By looking at the last picture, I'd say he crossed that line IMO. It basically comes down to semantics. Regardless of what we call it, it is still looking really good. Edited March 24, 2005 by Mule
Jasonc Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 In regards to the kit bashing vs. original. I have no doubt in my mind that he could do this all on his own. He definitely has the skills. But why waste time, money and the extra work when there is a kit he can use to save some time? I think that's the only reason why he used the kit, just to save time, material, and money. With a save on those 3, wouldn't you do the same instead of starting with a lump of nothing? I think it's great to be resourceful like that. And this will be so different I'm sure, that we can all agree that this is definitely original.
macroadster Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 (edited) I like the reference pose more. The current pose with the arm around the waist makes her seem a little agitated. Just my opinion. Keep up the godly work. It agree with the above said, Ryuji definitely has the skill. He can build it from scratch, and nothing wrong with calling this a scratch build.

jardann Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 Whoa! Komillia got back! Those legs are a site beefier than the original kit. The work looks great Ryuji! It's really cool to watch your progress in these threads.
Myersjessee Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 Looks great...thanks for sharing the procress.
JSaint25 Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Just a bump...wondering if there's been any more progress on this.
EXO Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Beautiful! Is there anything special about the yellow tape you use? Or is it standard tape? Thanks!
Powered Convoy Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 That is fantastic. I can't wait to see more pics. I love her bottom. Randy
Ryuji Posted June 17, 2005 Author Posted June 17, 2005 finished left leg. (now I have to finish the other side... )
chowyunskinny Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Nice! Glad to see that the project is not dead Can't wait to see more updates
nightmareB4macross Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I wonder if this is how god works when he created woman??? Great job! Can't wait to see the finished sculpt.
Sar Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I wonder if this is how god works when he created woman??? It would explain the tale about Adam seeing a previous version of Eve being made in front of him and getting put off. "Man! All that sanding? How do you have the patience for that?" Seriously, though, watching the work unfold is really impressive. I'm part-way through a similar-sized figure (not macross related) using the miniatures-sculpting approach out of epoxy putty, this approach starts to look more and more appealing... ;-)
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 yummy booty hehehe...great build thus far Ryuji. gotta give it up to Brazillians for liking booty...damn, it's nice being latino
