    HI-RES Macross NOSEART

    in The Workshop!

    Posted

    Greetings All!

    Sorry I havent posted any updates in the last few days, just getting over a bad summer cold. Anywho, I got the 1/72 TOMAHAWK decals scanned & am about halfway done rebuilding them. I just wanted to share the main parts of the rebuilt stuff with you guys for the time being until the rest of the sheet is done. Firstly, heres the cleaned up & "tweaked" Vampirella noseart for the leg :

    She's not too much to look at, is she?

    Then, I very carefully disassembled the box top to fit it in the scanner so I could make a full, Hi-res scan of the boxart to be "cleaned up". After that, I cropped & cleaned up the noseart image in photoshop. This is what I'm gonna use for the template when I redraw it in photoshop:

    VampirellaPinupartcopy.jpg

    She's much better, eh?

    Also, If anyone wants it, I still have the full TOMAHAWK boxart image on file ( its large tho, 233 mb) so just PM me & I'll fire you off a zip file containing it! :D

    Have a great one guys & Enjoy!!

    Hey cool8or!

    Okay, the actual decal of the Vampirella on the sheet is pretty small & not very well detailed at all ( the artwork on the box cover is better!). Shes one of the reasons I'm "cleaning" up the whole set. I'm gonna tighten up the artwork with only minimal alterations so as not to detract from its overall originality. But....an this is a big but.... I'm gonna scan the boxart at super-hi res, use the vampi art there to "re-create" a whole new, photoshopped image in nice detail ( but thats gonna take a little longer)

    I'll still however, am gonna post the re-newed set for everyone as soon as its finished! :D

    Greetings Gang!

    Finally got my 1/72 TOMAHAWK kit thru the mail yesterday! I scanned in the decals &.....YIKES!! are they in bad shape! I'm currently "rebuilding" the set using Photoshop so hopefully in the next couple of days, I'll have them finished to post for everyone!

    ~Cheers!

    Closest you'll get to 1/72 are the old Bandai kits, which have parts exchange design and they're not very good in my opinion. Other than that you're not gonna see anything "new" wise. And the 1/60's calling them "not good" or "Not interested" or anything to fans here is rather insulting as they're pretty good

    I think the poster meant he didn't care for the scale size of the Yamato toys, not the quality of them

    .

    You nailed it on the head!

    I honestly wasnt trying to be insulting to others here & if I came off sounding that way I humbly apologize but what Vifam7 said was accurate....I'm not referring to the quality of the 1/60 Yamato stuff ( which is very very nice indeed) but rather the scale, its just not my personal favorite scale. I've been a 1/72 scale junkie since I was a kid! I had so many of the old 1/72 ROBOTECH/Bandai variable Valk kits I may as well have had my name engraved outside on the parent companies' wall saying" One of the cornerstones of our business". I was hoping that Maybe Bandai or some other company had decided to give new life to an old "transformable" friend in 1/72.

    Hope that clears up the misunderstanding! :)

    As soon as it comes in the mail ( 2-3 weeks) I'll scan the decals in hi-res for the Vampirella-type noseart ( legart??) & post it up here for you guys! I know there are quite a few folks who have been looking for a hi-res shot of it & I've been kinda lusting after this kit for a long time anyways so its a win-win sitch for all of us!

    Hey Gang!

    I'm new to the forums here & have always been into mecha modeling but havent really kept up with MACROSS related kits for some years now. I'm just getting back into it & am looking for a relatively well-done, fully transformable VF-1 kit in 1/72. After thoroughly researching it, I got the new VF-25F Alto from BANDAI & have to say its a gorgeous kit! What I'd love to get is something that has nearly the level of detail as the Static HASEGAWA kits and the transformablilty of the BANDAI '97 reissue of the 1/72 Variable Valkyrie VF-1S.

    Has anyone ( other than Yamato toys , personally dont care for 1/60 so much..) made anything like this in 1/72? If not mebbe we could get a petition of some sort together for BANDAI to make a new kit of the VF-1 thats comparable to the design level of the new VF-25F kit.

    Thanks in advance for any help folks! :D

    WTB: 1/72 VF-25F Decal Sheet

    Posted

    Looking to purchase a VF-25F water slide decal sheet for Bandai's 1/72 model kit. This is not the Sheryl or Ranka or whatever decals, just the standard red and black ones.

    PM me offers please. I pay through paypal.

    Thanks

    Hey Cent!

    just got that kit myself! Its really sweet! Do you have the ability to print your own decals? If you do, I could scan the set I have for the VF-25F @ hi-res, put 'em on a disk & send it to ya....just a thought!

    Hey Gang!

    First time poster here, I was following google for some Macross Decals Images & came across an older thread on this site with some low-res scans from an old Macross Modeling guide. I have the same book & some years back I made hi-res scans of the noseart pics so I thought as a newbie "gift" I'd share 'em with everyone!

    ~ Enjoy!!
