@MechTechSo far it is non-scale. Just a little 3D VF-1 study to practice some modelling skills. Nothing specific planned yet. I still have to finish my 1/72 VF-9 Cutlass. That is still on my desk. Not sure if I was posting this here already but here you go. Some VF-9 renders.

Did a little 4 hour practice today, and decided to do the VF-1. Yes - just another 3d modelled VF-1, but this time I did the VF-1P (which not to many people have done yet).
I used line art from the Variable Master File for the VF-1 to make this.
and a quick projection mapped render.

Got into CAD & 3D printing as my pandemic hobbies. Different way to think, but a useful way of solving kit problems or subject availability.
Current project is the 8x8 Boxer combat reconnaissance vehicle slowly being introduced by the Australian Army. Scale will be 1:16.
Nice - what CAD program do you use?

I was building this over the past weeks, as a present for the fiancé of my wifes sister (not sure if there is a proper term for that relationship in a family).
He really likes One Piece and didn’t want to purchase the 300 bucks Going Merry. So I got the bandai kit for cheap and smashed it together rather unprofessional. Still looks better than the 300 bucks version.
priming the crew
pre-shading the ship.
first airbrush stage done
heavy masking tape job for white parts.
color was a bit to thin and went under the masking. Had to fix that later.
the finished crew. My index finger next to them for size comparison.
the finished ship.
I liked the kit. It was fitting really well and was a pleasure to build. 100% recommended for any One Piece fan.
wasn’t my best build though, as I was a bit under time pressure to get it done until his birthday.

I'm also seeing a lot of this plane as an influence, especially in the tails.
Really looks like someone mashed up that, the Mave, and the X-02 from Ace Combat.
FA-37 Talon from the movie stealth (which was basically a Macross Plus Rip-Off)

@Urashiman Nice, have fun building that.
@Gabe Q Great looking VF-0 Battroid! I like the non-hero paint scheme on it.
@pengbuzz Very cool work with the elevator.
Thanks - will take some year until I get to it. First, it'll move to the basement to my large model kit collection.

Got something new in the mail box today

Yup from WF 2014-15 from Frameout Models. Haven't seen an original on YJA in years and the webshop has been closed for some time. FWIW I'm pretty sure the GKM recast doesn't require the Bandai kit if you go that route. I do know the conversion kit could (with a little bit or work.)
Homes (http://inventive.web.fc2.com/index.html) did an amazing job modeling the kit and is one of the only few examples I know of outside of the resin kit.
Oh I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for the background information!

Hey everyone,
I was browsing the internet last night in search for news on Macross kits and found this:
https://www.shop2000.com.tw/GK-M/product/p17157810
Looks like someone kitbashed and scratch build a YF-29 from the bandai VF-25 and VF-27 and made it a mostly resin kit.

Wow, that is some really nice detail work! Seems like it was a laborious process but I bet it'll look amazing all painted up. I agree with your sentiment about not overdoing it. Sometimes you just gotta "get 'er done"!
A little bit more progress on the battroid and I finished the 1D.
Ah ... the ARII VF-1D 1/100. My first Macross kit. I loved it!

Looks like there was some presentation in June with this.

BDay haul of hobby stuff came in! Still waiting for my Mr. Surfacer 1500 Black. Trying Humbrol enamels from good ole England land for the first time, see if they brush paint worth a crap....
The humbrol enamels are almost like the revell ones but a bit thinner. I think they are really good for airbrushing purposes. I use the from time to time, as humbrol has different colors than revell which really add up, e.g. purple and yellow tones.

GAWDAMIT!!
i glued the head in place, had glue on my knuckle, touched the wing, and now there is super glue over the top of the wing.
going to strip it down when the new decals arrive and paint the wing from scratch later.
Going to try recasting some pilots now.
Ugh ... very unfortunate. Happens to the best of us. Just don't use super glue. If there are any fingerprints near the glueing position, they will be encarved forever into your model, due to the super glue fumes.

SWX?
well ... Kawamori made some advanced Valk designs for some magazine 2001~2002ish. The SWX Advanced program VF-E experimental something something.
Here you go:

Yeah it has been a while.
I asked HLJ for an advance copy (or at least just the canopy) so that I could bring a canopy mask set to market early.
The staff had to look up the kit as they had never heard of it!
wow! That is interesting.

Oh man, I feel bad, but I haven't opened it beyond slightly unwrapping the Tamiya wrapping paper that the clerk originally wrapped my kit in when I bought it almost 20 yrs ago, lol!
Maybe I'll get to it after a few more VF-1s
I think this build might be a lot easier now that I'm finally using an airbrush.....or it might be worse, who knows, lol!
So, last year this time, when I built those 4 Super/Strike Valks, I was only using rattle cans and brush painting.
Those dark spots inside the leg I hammered out in a few minutes. Last summer, it probably took me 20 minutes per Valk with a Sharpie, lol!
I'm just refamiliarizing myself with the VF-1, but it's coming back to me. I can barely make out some of the details and some of the parts are so small for my sausage fingers that it's hard to work on them.
I dunno - I have sausage fingers as well and build four VF-1s from Hasegawa already. They were a pleasure to build. Only thing I noticed is the mold degration over time. My First VF-1 was build somewhen 2003-2004ish (but originally purchased in 2001) when the molds were still new. My latest build was from a VF-1A/J/S (2005 rebox, purchased in 2013) around 2016ish. The parts were a bit distorted, the panel lines less accentuated and I had to sand a bit more here and there compared to my 2001 VF-1 purchase. Do you remember (love?) when your kit was issued/purchased? Maybe you got one of the bad molds.
The YF-19 was almost a perfect fit for me. I had a first issue kit and everything was a dream, except for the intakes. There were some nasty seams and it wasn't easy to sand them away. Really nice kit - thrilled to see what you will come up with as soon as you are on it

man - this looks awesome! Great build!

I know nothing of RC cars, but I got this from a buddy ages ago. Played with it for a bit, then the remote died and the car sat on a shelf for more than 20 years. Just dug it out the other day, got a new remote and fresh batteries and took it for a spin, forgot how fun they can be
Oooh Nice! What kind of chassis is that? Looks like one of those fancy TT-02 custom chassis with cambelt transmission for 4WD.

This was on my workbench today.
Cheap PMM TT-01E clone off eBay. But man - this thing is great! Speed test showed it was going 41.2km/h.
What will Hasegawa do next?

Well - for the VF-X they need to change the mold drastically. I mean, they need to update the panel line design, as the VF-X to VF-1 panel lines are super different.
There need to be new molds as well, for the arms. The VF-X had no arms.
