007-vf1

I thought I would get more people's attention if I mentioned girls...!!

is not mine, just nice models awesomeness found on the internet .. http://www.hkml.net/Discuz/viewthread.php?tid=133517

They are from the Yellow Submarine resin Valhalla III at 1/700. they are pretty good detailed for that size. There's 2 of each... I am building it to side it with the Imaii Quel-Q Bug's Eye which is close in scale.. (Genius whoever decided to sculpt it on that scale for Yellow Sub) WIshed I would finish my styrene 1/700 ARMD which has been in storage for the past 5 years. Or find someone else making Macross vessels on that scale.. I am posting a more detailed pic of the munchkings V.

This has been my bench for 2 months now and still waiting..

I am in for one.. V.

Gerwalk... yes..!! Is a bit of a tedious pain to build the conversion from the 2 hasegawas and I am past that stage by now. I wonder who will be the first one to build an armored gerwalk??

We are going back to the gundam swords..??

This is pretty amazing.. I'd like to know of your process on smoothing edges, ridding off seam lines and how you build the core of the pieces..

I would definitely not use alcohol on anyhting that tamiya has been aplied to. I would just wipe the wash out with water or very light and quick thinner cutips and make sure it doesn't rub too hard into the surface and way after the undercotas have dried. I do use diluted oil paint washes over the tamiya future undercoats. I know it is dangerous but after several years I have not had issues. Is there any washes brands anyone has succesfully wiped them from the Future coat or just plain tamiya undercoat without gambling on the previous undercoat paint?

They are Anigrands.. No longer in circulation.. They pop on and off in Evilbay around under $200 each

Worked on these 2 144 scaled babies for the last 3 weeks

This one is a tad sharper than the ones before and yes the canopy seems to be blueish.. Click on the pic and expand it..

So this is how the 144 looks like when they are well done..? I can't get enough of the Armored VF-1 and Booster..they are amazing.. We need better pics So I can figure out how those 2 were made Found a video while looking for bigger pics https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=298425546883188&set=vb.146921241998820&type=3&theater

Been working on modifying this baby for about 3 weeks on and off now. Sill a bit more to go...

I would not necessarily defend superman but the circumstances..

Nice.. nice !!

No, Please!!! Multipost this..!!! THis is sooo neat..

Even with the notion of new acquired lien technology. We should assume that some mecha sizes in the Macross universe still doesn't add up if we translated them to the real world. I think some canon sized mecha have to be revised to plausible modern standards That's implying that we all agree that some anime-magic has indeed been exercised during the creation of the series/movies.. What's everyone's take on this?

In my opinion I think you are honing in an accurate train of thinking.. My common sense tells me that most mecha in the Macross universe are slightly wrongly proportioned to their plausible live/real counterpart.. Even if we translated strong materials to a paper thin real life counterpart, lets say in the tactical pod as an example, a 10M zentraedi would not fit inside the cockpit and maneuver it as we see in the anime. The hierarchy rank system of the Zentran officer pods pilots makes me believe that the Glaug size would also proportionally increase. I always thought the Glaug and Queadlunn's should also be way bigger in size to accommodate a pilot the way is meant to be ridden which in some anime episodes seems to be under drawn and just doesn't match up, in others is way oversized.. Meltrandies (females) should also be as tall or even taller than males and actually physically stronger. I think a bit of male chauvinism is implied in the old Japanese animation creative trait of the character artists. By now I believe we have all concluded that anime magic takes a big part of how this functionality in amine universe works and makes us mistakenly overlook many little details that might make logical sense to us in the surface but it isn't practical in reality. In the end we might just come to our own conclusion what we believe the "real" size should be.. i wonder if we could actually come to a general, even consensus if we put some effort in it? What's everyone's take on this?

Is it there the posibility to get one in 1/144 scale?

That last stand works just fine. It can be generically used for all the next projects you will do such as the ARMD's and Oberth...

Amazing Mike..this is superb..!!

I am quite interested on the capital ships, carriers and destroyers of the series.. I've been looking all over for some pictures of it and found this guys Flicker sight with about a 100 pictures of Macross goodies from Wonderfestival and some from his own collection.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gerwalk_w/page83/

I pre-ordered one through Ami-Ami back in November and they back ordered them rather quickly after they were sold out in a blink..I got the invoice on Thursday for the payment. Yes, over a month later but they added a discount. I paid Friday and the package arrived on Monday morning from Japan!! ( I live in the Washington DC area)total cost including shipping $335.00..I call that fantastic..
