Re-issue Liu

small parts(pilot, nozzuls, vector wings, laser cannon....)

main wing(modify from F-16XL), see the U.N. Logo? the logo are direct engraving on surface. 2 color cast skill ( from mechanical molding tech, BANDAI's system injection)

Vf-4 main body back part. have some bubble over surface I don't have vacumm machine, so I use tradition cast skill from mechanical (my major)

Vf-4 main body front part, dyeing deep gray.

the all parts layout until now, the gray parts mold are lost

the story since about 7~8 years ago, I get a Retppu's soft vinyl VF-4 kit, and I immeditely start a plan for made this kit's silicon mold to cast them. but in the process I find some parts(espacially wing parts) are very thin and almost no detial over them, so I use Monogram's F-16XL rudder part modify to fit VF-4's main wing, new-made laser canons part.......etc. Those modify and refine work spend my 2 months, so when I finished mold, I must be to prepare my master degree and paper, I just only stocking those mold into my cupboard. Then.........whe I fininshed my paper and obtain master degree, I forget which cupboard I stocking them! and..........in fact, I am really difficult for search them from my livingroom.(the reason guys can view I post on Hobbyfan fourm, title "Hn...My warehouse(living room) " (http://community.hobbyfan.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=865&highlight=&sid=5101bac176e445c07c931746a2745b55) 2 months ago, for Taiwan Msater megazine's game, I clear out lot kits from my workdesk, unexpectedly I found VF-4 molds in a corner of a cupboard near workdesk. So. I start to casting those parts, first batch parts look great, but second batch appear some gushy, because silicon are become aging........ I am already casting parts for 3 sets, but no a part for cockpit and nose because this part's mold was losted. By now, for get a full set parts can complete VF-4, I must be made a new mold for lost part. Why I post this message? because although parts has some gushy, but those faults I just spend some basic model skill can recover and I can get parts to complete 3 VF-4 I need. But I think about maybe some MACROSS fans need this VF-4, too. so I psot this message on MACROSSWOrld fourm and Hobbyfan's, if you guys will interest to get this item, I will satrt made all new mold for all parts of VF-4. or I just made a mold for lost part. If you guys will instrest to get this VF-4, I wiil use highest quality epoxy resin to cast, because this level epoxy almost no contractility and great material strength, in fact, my cast work use it usually, almost never use normal cast resin. Because the epoxy resin will some cheaper then cast resin I use, so by my rough compute for totally material cost(epoxy and silicon), will need about $25 to maximal $30 for one set, fee wage, but need minimal shipping cost. Someguys are instrest for get this, please e-mail me and I will reply you to confirm. Well, how about guys feel? shold I made all new mold for VF-4?

Hi! newca! I am living in Taiwan Taipei city, and you?

I think maybe some place will rare for full set of 32 boxes. but I believe guys still can get in his place. just like me, 15th anv. re-product ver. VF-1D and VF-1S fighter mode like you say, I still can get them in my place.

Really great kits, VF-22S I got one, some friends of mine ask me "plan to re-cast it?" I am considering...... Ruppu's VF-11 I am watch ii on auction, too. And I have some Ruppu's 1/72 VF-1 kis pic, I will find them out and post up!

Great job! I am love sub-mecha, too

Wow! I am drawing the Booster's 3 side drawing by CAD software! I had same plan to build ti up, too. I just can build the base tank by now?

Wow! oo7-vf1 a great work, I am still love this kit, and it is rare, I have been re-cast it idea before

Cool! In fact, I love VF-2J more then VF-2SS. But I does not buy them(some bid I loss )

Wow! CWmodel put his collections up, too. I will put my rough photos of my collections up in near days.

I was view maker's web page, he wrote Spaltan's finger just cut down orginal part from kit's hand parts, and refine and add some detials on it, seem not a moveable fingers.

WoW! a great job! and very cool detials. You are cool!

Wow! every guys hold many great collections, and you all can find a place to orderly display and take photo My room like a warehouse, not enough space to do this In fact, my workdesk are bury by kit mountain for a longtime. my workspace just a chair top

ok, I will look for my DHM or HJ that you want valk. But I have 3 days travel since tomorrow, so you maybe nedd wait more days. can not help you immediatelyare so sorry!

Hi! Less than Super Ostrich: The "BlackAce" said type that you find valk. version? That is Hasegawa newest Limited item "Strike VF-1S Minmay Guard"

WoW! You have a Great collection! especialy some rare itmes who you get over two! I will try to shot some photos for my collections But I think I must be put into order for my room, it too disorder to get some items

Sorry! Would you remember what magazine who you see it? Japanese or other? Model Graphix? Dengi Hobby? Hobby Japan? Charater Model? or a mook? maybe I can find for you and scan pics to you.

This completed model of valk, in Japanese mean, it is combine Hasegawa's normal Battroid and Strike Fighter(Because Strike Battroid not release yet when the modeler make it), and 2 reasons for: (1)Fighter ver.'s strike part not fit to Battroid mode very well.(2) for like pose in anime scene, so it is a fix pose model.

Great work! Chi I can't wait to see finish.

A beige painted VF-1? <_< if it are VF-1A type, maybe that is mass-product valk's color patten . I guess
