newbie Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Just to start off, past couple months I've had some problems trying to access online so my apologies to those who have been trying to get hold of me. My thanks to Graham to getting me back up & running. Now on with the post... It took me a couple weeks, couple hours a day Frankensteining/modifying two figures to make the VF girl. It stands approximately 5" tall with no moving parts. I tried to make it the same size & configuration as what the macross cm figures are. I haven't finished the back of the legs, I need to modify some black pieces, other than that it's done. p.s. Merry Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 Yes I used a Banpresto figure & a japanese collectible figure - I'm not sure what the name of it is but here's a pic - maybe someone can track the name down or translate the name. As for the Millia figure in the background, it's an old custom from last Christmas. There's an old thread about it on here on how I made it etc. By the way, has anyone ever finished one besides me? I would like to see some pics! Thanks for all the kudos, Cheers, Newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 I was hoping somebody out there can give me a hand with finding a figure. I'm trying to make a very tiny VF girl...approximately 2.5 inches high to sit up on my 1/48 VF gun pod. I'm trying to replicate the attached picture. I have the 2.5 inch VF but I can't find a small enough figure to cannibalize for parts. The figure needs to have arms & legs extended from the body, and also has to be 2.5 inches high and bare skinned like in a swim suit. Would appreciate any feedback.

Vermilion_32 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hey Newbie Have you seen the Dead Or Alive Extreme Volleyball Figures ? As Solscud007 said they are gashapon figures. I'm not possitive but I believe they make them in scale to each other and should be about 3 or 4 inches tall. Here are some pictures of what I've seen.

big F Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) Excellent work. I have always wondered why no manufacturers have ever made these. After all there are pictures of these "mecha" allover the place. Well gashapon would be an extremely usefull source of these type figures for raw parts. There are lots of girl Gashapon colllections to source from. Edited December 28, 2005 by big F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Nice work! How long did it take to complete this project? It actually took a lot longer than I thought it would! What I thought would be a quick little project ended up with the wife saying 'isn't the motor burned out on the dremel yet?' It took 2 weeks for a couple hours a day. I had already taken a look at the volleyball figures for the smaller version and they're about 3.5" high & I haven't had any luck finding a 2.5" high figure so far. Yeah I agree, if CM or other macross licenced manufacturers ever came out with a version it would be one of their hot sellers, guaranteed. Once again, thanks for all the kudos. p.s. If anyone else is producing one or has one on their workbench - please share your pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use yoru Minmei from CMS series 3. Ask Bobe Patt, the first thing we did with minmei was undress her, hehe. I took the top blouse thing off her shoulders and it looks like this and I used my Max IS banpresto to make armour like newbie did. pretty easy only took an hour of cutting. Not as detailed as Newbie's but it is quickie and looks ok. Edited December 31, 2005 by Solscud007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
