They all look good, but the best are your SECOND and FOURTH choices and Johvic's FIRST choice. Second runners up would be your FOURTH and Johvic's FIRST, with the winner being in the Final's --- Johvic's FIRST choice!!

PLEASE, please tell me that you will make it available!! I will beg and plead - well I AM begging and pleading! I will put as much time into the cutting styrene to make a plastic version as you did making it in paper!!

If he needs it, I'm willing to donate to the screen-fund!!

Sorry, I'm no help. Just saying I haven't seen it before, but it is a great looking machine, and I too would love to see more.

Utmost care must be taken during construction, as the builder of the prototype fractured a finger during construction. Nah, just kidding. From what's said this was caused by something totally different... ph34r.gif Belly Well, that's all the updates on the sit so far. Pretty cool though... and now I'm tired. Going to bed...

Main body Hand - for scale Battroid Gerwalk Reworked head unit

Sorry. Try again. And again. Pictures. Cockpit Main body and wings Wings folded Transforming Head unit Arm assembly

Oops. Edited and doing it again.

The link itself is working fine for me. Could you get on, and when you did, did you register on site?

Saw this linked on Starship Modeler, a PAPER 1/72 scale VF-2SS, and it looks damn AWESOME!! Complicated modular biuld, transformable WITH COCKPIT!! I'm thinking photo-etch accents, plastic greeble extras, a clear canopy and pilot! The possibilities are endless... Linky http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=161015

Do they have websites I could go to, and what are prices like?

If you're making replacement canopies, can you also make replacement fuselages, wings and tails and head and hands and and and... oh just the whole dang thing!! I would love to have a 1/72 VF2SS!!

Sweet!! I like the rework of it. Kitbashing potential there!

Awesome Super Cool!! That is one hell of a lovely ship, whether TV or DYRL version. Both kick ass. I am nostalgic for the original, but DYRL is just BADASS!! It is burly and menacing, though again, one can't beat a Macross Attack with an ARMD. That being said, once this is made, I foresee that others will make the appropriate mod and create a pair of 8 or 12 inch carriers. Hell, MechTech is making a SIX FOOT Daedalus!! Which has me gobsmacked http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=18403 It's not a far reach to actually make the appropriate scale ships, and since the two SDF's are similar enough you can have the best of both worlds. A badass SDF-1 with a Daedelus to shove down a Zentraedi throat!! All that being said, I'll have to pass, and not just for the price. DEAR GOD!! your talking about a $1000.00 dollars for the 'model' and shipping!! NO NO NO NON NON NON ONO NONO ONONO NONONONO NON ON NO..... Two feet is just too big for me. I'd have no place to put it. I'll scale down and buy one of the 1/5000 ships and be extraordinarily happy. Maybe the demand will be so great for this SDF-1 that the price will drop on the 1/5000! Then again, there is that lovely Macross Quarter just curling that sexy flight deck my way....

I love it!! That's perfect. No need for anything else!

So, your saying HG won after Kawamori tried to steal their idea for a super mecha show, and now they have him safely locked away in Japan where his rip-off Macross series is enjoying its only success. And HG, as absolute proof that they are the true, one and only creators came up with - the Shadow Chronicles!?!?!? So much better to be Kawamori...

If only for Ishtar - O M G !! I want her on a full body pillow case...

Some others have mentioned using rare earth magnets within the model to help tighten it. For me, a pin-hole job is easier and steadier. I can't wait for the other VF-25s to come out! From what I figure the price of the armor pack PLUS what I paid for the original un-armored model is probably close to the full armored model. Oh, and here the link to what I've done so far. http://s189.photobucket.com/albums/z156/Th...25%20Macross-F/

I have the Alto Valk, though construction is on hold until the armor parts I pre-ordered come out. For that kit there are a LOT of small parts, as this is a transforming model. The whole model is made up of little bits that come together to make the larger everything! But its surprisingly easy to assemble as long as you go slow and with patience. One thing I noticed is its tendency to be a little floppy, hence my decision to add anchor points between the arms and legs and along the wing roots, though I heard the Ozma (which I also have) is of a better fit. They may have adjusted their molds to answer complaints about the Alto. And what's great, is that for most of the entire build, you don't need paint or glue! Even half done, its a great and sexy model! I'd post a link to mine, but Photobucket isn't loading for me right now.

55! Wow! Just think of all the stories as yet untold from across the Galaxy! People with a mind to creating their own Macross Universe have plenty of ground to play on.

Wow, that is chunky...

There are some people doing 3D images of the Uraga and other ship, but I ... cant.. remember... who they... are...

I might start something here, but... Since we have an image of Minmay in the locket at the end of Mac-Frontier, isn't that considered writing about it, even in the most oblique sense? It's a great tease, don't you think, that if not realized would make Kawamori the Devil and all of us are his Damned subjects. I do hope that we get some answer as to what truly happened to them. Falling off the edge of the universe isn't enough for me. These were the character that I fell in love with as a kid. These are Kawamori's first 'children.' They can't just be dropped and never seen again. Can they...?

Okay, I foresee another reason to buy yet ANOTHER Hasegawa VF-1, if only to kitbash that baby! That thing is sweet, a cool mix of the VF-1, the VF-2SS and the VF-4. Are there any pics of its sexy bottom? I want to see what they have under there. Over on Fan Works, anime52k8, redid the VF-4 with the VF-25 legs and other touches. Pretty cool looking. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=28584

Do say you'll share???????
