Brilliant! Awesome effects too! Hope you are able to do the one with the dead Zentran!

No worries....don't recall seeing that particular illustration.... It can be posted in the Macross Art Appreciation thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/32816-character-art-appreciation-thread-iii/

Nice illustration...but not valid for what this thread is about.... " Recreate a scene from each of the 36 episodes of SDFM using toys and kits (Macross toys/kits and other accessories)....the gimmick.....superimpose the shots with real backgrounds or art found on the webs"

It's only number one on your request list..... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/37124-kurisamas-custom-160-upgrades-add-ons/ Perhaps it's time has come.....

OK....how about episode 2: Countdown..... Can you take these pics, resize them and do your magic with these backgrounds?

Impressive skills! Looks fantastic! Vlenhoff = King of Macross Photoshop This is from Episode 2: Countdown....the scene where Roy is on his way to help Hikaru from himself!

Could any of these be used?

So a pic of a window inside looking out...... Nice work! We should include the episode number/name with the pics posted....or play "name the episode"?

It's not often you capture people willingly getting ripped off on camera!

Reposting from HMR thread to kick things off.... Suggestion: From Episode 1: Booby Trap: Sh9000....you could pose your VF-1J Commander-type and a VF-1A Soldier in a similar setup...I think you also have some type of in-scale tank you could use.... Then, vlenhoff, or someone else with photoshop skills, can superimpose the toy pics with a background like one of these:

OK, let's see how far we can take this! No rules except one...have fun! However......it would be nice to stick to SDFM, at least initially, in honor of it's upcoming 40th Anniversary.... Loose guidelines... Recreate a scene from each of the 36 episodes of SDFM using toys and kits (Macross toys/kits and other accessories)....the gimmick.....superimpose the shots with real backgrounds, classic or modern illustrations or cel backgrounds from the actual show! Example from Episode 06: Daedalus Attack Inspired from an actual scene from the episode: How it was created: Pic from Sh9000's collection of VF-1A CFs: Plus pic of Saturn's rings wallpaper pic found on the webs: http://valentinespace.weebly.com/uploads/5/1/1/8/5118239/8745711.jpg Plus photoshop magic (this one courtesy of vlenhoff): = Happy 40th Anniversary SDFM!!! Feel free to use this thread to post ideas, scenes you would like to see recreated, backgrounds that could be used, or the pics of your collections in dioramas to be used in this pictorial series commemorating the 40th Anniverary of SDFM....

Cool.... So how should we do this? Do you want to post some pics of key scenes (stuff that won't be that difficult to recreate) with suggestions for backgrounds? Do we start with Episode 1 or just as the ideas come to mind? For example, here is what I'm thinking...... From Episode 1: Booby Trap: Sh9000....you could pose your VF-1J Commander-type and a VF-1A Soldier in a similar setup...I think you also have some type of in-scale tank you could use.... Then, vlenhoff, or someone else with photoshop skills, can superimpose the toy pics with a background like this: Thoughts?

In celebration of the 35th Anniversary of SDFM, we should recreate at least one memorable scene from each of the 36 episodes using any of the available toys and model kits combined with photoshop'd backgrounds or screencaps of the actual show! Who's in?

Awesome job! Adding the Hikaru -1J helped nail the scene!

Did a search on Google for "Saturn rings background"....can you make one of these work?

Child's play! Sh9000 needs to advance into some stop motion work!

Reminds me of Hikaru's "first mission" episode....great job on the photoshop!

Recent VF-0D prices: http://closedsearch.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/closedsearch;_ylt=A7dPGjIrkblYMQwAY2iuGDx8?p=1%2F60+VF-0D&aq=-1&oq=&x=30&y=27&ei=UTF-8&slider=0&auccat=0 Recent YF-30 prices: http://closedsearch.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/closedsearch;_ylt=A7dPFtBvkblYvEUApPGuGDx8?p=DX+YF-30&aq=-1&oq=&x=35&y=25&ei=UTF-8&slider=0&auccat=0 YF-30 prices seem to be dropping vs. VF-0D prices......probably due to the VF-31 releases.... Due to short-runs on Arcadia VF-0's, I see the VF-0D prices holding steady if not creeping up over time....I'd sooner expect to see a re-issue for the VF-0A/S than the VF-0D due to the recent armor release, but that may cause the price of the VF-0D to take a downward hit... I would say, currently, a trade between a YF-30 for a VF-0D would be fairly equal. If neither gets a re-issue, I would give the edge to the VF-0D for future market price and disirability.
