OK here is some Pics. NOTICE: This Is in NO FORM Pornagraphy. This Is Real Life WW2 Bomber and Figher artwork. Please understand that This is apart of World History, and should only be viewd in understanding that This has no other purpose then to Show Artwork. OK now that I have that out of the way. This is what I am working on. and Let me tell you, I am going to put this on an OLDER Spartan Model I have. I Really like this one! OK I know that some Pics are big. But I needed them big so that the Quality will hold when they are scaled down to size. This is just some of the stuff I have. See you tomorrow. with some of the first scaled sizes Ranger565

Thanks guys I have to go to work soon so I have to make this short. I guess the main thing that got me started on This project was the fact that I was looking over one of my 1/72 Destroid kits and Thought of the artwork on Tanks, Bombers and Figters of WWII. To me, If Macross was Real, I have a feeling that Noseart, body art and Naked woman would be on the armor of all Destroids. Just a thing a Grunt did in war. HEHE So I started thinking If I make one of my 1/72 destroids soon I would like to have a little artwork on my Legs or arms or Wherever you want to put it. So I stared to work on this NOTE: I have LOTS of Pics. However The best are the Nudes, However, I am not sure of the MW community reaction to me posting WWII type Nose art Nudes, So I am only going to show you what little I have thats Decent. Unless the Community does not care God I can see this on a Tomahawk!!! This would Look awsome on a Batroid Armor Leg! With a little wheater damage, some Nice shading and a little luck, I think I could use this type of artwork to give me the effect that our Grandfathers did to their War machines years ago. now I am also working on Pics of Minmay for this too. I just did not have time to fix them up Tell me what you think of this idea. Think of what a Tamahawk would look like with a Nice looking Belle, or a Donald duck with a shot gun on a Monster,s front leg. Ranger565

Ok Here is a new update. Not all of the Decals on this sheet will make the Final cut. I Just have them on here now for space, I have run out of Zentradi, Zentron, or whaterver you want to call them Decals, so if you have any more pics of Markings post them or send them too me. I have also learned I dont think I can Print Plain White Decals, I guess I need a special Laser printer for that, But anyway, Let me know what you think, so far. Just trying to make this work out. Grayson, The Reason I made the Kill marks Red and yellow, is because most of the Fastpack and boosters are Pained some kind of blue or Green. Red and Yellow will show up nice on those Colors. OH well thanks for the help and Hellohikaru I do have some Black Aces Symbols and Could use them, however I did not want to stea that persons artwork, Not sure if using it will cause problems. But will look into all you guys have to offer. Ranger565

Ok Qick update before I got to work Ok quick update before I go to work IF anyone has any Zentron or Marduke Markings Please Post them here. I am having a heck of time finding some. If you have any High Quality scans or Pics please post them If you have any clear pics like this, I would love to see them, This Includs all Macross Symbols and markings, You name it. if you got it let me have it. But share only if you want too. Thank you, Ranger565

Hey guys, Got bored so I decided to start creating decals. This is just a first draft picture of what I have created so far. They are 1/72 and I desinged most of the Decals to fit on the Fast Pack Boosters of Super VF-1's I would like you to give me your Opinion on what you think. We get a lot of decals with our kits, but we really dont get much to play with in terms of Squadrons, so I did this. Also I will be adding Zentradi Markings, I have the abilty to do that too. Also, I am working on Destroid decals (Women figure decals, Some maybe naked) lol yeah I know. but IN WW2 Many bombers had Naked ladies on Them. Why should a Destroid be different . hehe just and idea. NOTE: this Picture IS NOT of GLossy Decal Paper. This is Regular White paper. I have only Prined them to see what they look like, The Images are more Crisp on glossy paper ( i tried photo paper and its Looks PHAT.) SO what else am I doing here? Well I am also asking if you would like to see an Image of a design you would like to see I would like you to post the picture. Maybe I can use a drawing or a Squadron picture that you woud like to see on a decal Well, I hope I have not done any Copyright infringement here, Let me know what you think I do have a few questions? 1. Would something like this be an issue if I were to print them and sell? 2. What other decals do you think I should add? \\ Take care, and thinks for your Opinion Please any feedback would be wonderfull!! Ranger565

Hey guys, I know some of you like to Build VF-1's on F-14 Markings. so here are some Squadrons for you to do Research http://www.anft.net/f-14/f14-squadron.htm Also you can buy Decals for your Fav squadron here http://www.camdecals.com/main.asp?camaction=decals Enjoy hope you guys like

I am in, rob will PM you soon

Not sure yet. I am doing lots of reading on this kit. I will post pics when I get this done. with work and my Vacation next week only thing I have had a chance to work on is the Fast packs.

hehe if you look close its not actually Bullet holes. its more Sharapnel Damage from an exploding pod. So yeah it still would be flying.

Update time, Sorry its been a while, Work still has me buisy heeh So Who you Calling Cannon Fodder?? Before After Well Nothing is glued wings, cockpit, Etc. and with working so much, its been hard to complete. but I am slowly working. I raised Flaps, did more Shrapnel Damage, and I did not use all of the Bombs( I want it to look like its in the Middle of the Battle and Its used some of its ordance) Working on the legs and the Fastpacks now. Finnaly found the right blue after 2 months of looking Well let me know what you think, Remember this is a TV Version. Not DYRL Thats why the Bombs are Red Tiped. RANGER565

Wooot, thanks Rob, Now is that just the booster or that the Ghost As well? Ranger565

ok, Well since there is Some issues from the past. We will not make this public for now. BUT I want to say again 1. This was an Idea for a NEW kit. 1/48 scale also, Brady, Thats my friend, wants to create a 1/72 scale resin Tamahawk, but thats after we done with our first project. Well anyway sorry for the Confusion.

wow ok did not know it would hit close to him if this was a NEW Kit. One that was created by Me and a friend. I never knew that it would still be an issue if someone made A kit Unrelated to the Origional.

No i got it because I wanted it. also My friend is now looking for one of his own. so if anyone also wanting to sell a kit let me know

Yep and I got one, how many of the Kits are still out there? Not many. I maybe crazy but If I get this Project going with my best friend, No offence but I think I may sell a lot of these Kits so thats not much money considering I have the money and I will be giving a product back to the MW community.

I am removing this for now, due to negative feed back, The scuptures are going to be worked on very soon. This is not a recast but I new Kit designed from a friend of mine. However before we sell anything we just want to make sure that we are not going to infrenge any copyright. Thank you

Hey Rob I am sure you get asked this in PMs but any update on this, it sjust been real quiet the last 3 weeks. Ranger565

Boo I did Not make the Popular list HEHEEHE Working on My VF-1A http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=7421 Ranger565

Thanks guys, No I had not had a chance to seal the decals with Future yet. Problem is I had to do some of the battle damage before I sealed them in the Future or cut them. The paint I am using and is Rust-oleum Specialty (camouflage) from Home-depot here in the use. The color is Khaki and Let me tell you the color DRYS SUPPER FLAT ONE coat and thats all you need. Now if I can just find the right Blue for the Fast Packs I will be set.

Here is an update on the project, work has keept me very buisy from working on this. But 2 days off and I got to finish the cockpit. Its amazing how fast Dust settles on the Cockpit glass. I have given some more battle damage to co-inside with the damage to the nose and Body. I am thinking of putting a big gash in the booster when I get to it. (still just an Idea) but as stated before dont want to overdo it. Here is the other side just less damage. this is not the busted up side side. I wanted to make it look as if it just went threw an exploding pod. Or something blew up all around it, and was hit with debree. Well More soon, now that I have more time. Any feedback Positive or Negative will be helpfull in what I decied to do with it. Ranger565

Bah, I hate doing 3 months of Reaserch on a Model and then you may not be able to get it. Rob hang in there, I am sure you will get the kits this weekend. The guys on this Forum want these kits just as much as you do. I can almost bet that all you need to do is have them in your hands and this whole forum will come to the Rescue.

Hey Rob, You have me twice on the list, However I am intrested in the Ghost as well. Thank you Ranger565

Hey guys I have recived a few messages from members in the past few weeks regarding my VF-1A traditional Super (TV-Version) Ok here is a few pics. I am a still a LONG way from completition. The Traditional Pilot. This is hard since the only pilot I had was a DYRL pilot. hehe but he looks decent enough. I cut off some of the Shoulder pads of the DYRL to give him a slimmer look. I have done some small battle damage as if it were Passing through shrapnel of a exploding Pod here is an overall view. you can see I have not completed the Cockpit in anyway. Some of the damge to the Nose I have added to give it a busted up effect. Another view of the overall from other side Well anyway I told you back when I released my Lancer-2 pics it was comming. I have spent 3 months research on this Kit. lol more time and money but I want it to be very accurate of the Final Battle. I will up date this soon. Tell me what you think. Remember LOTS left to do.

Hey guys, Well now that Angry Monkey Models is looking to release the QF-3000 Ghost (TV Version) - 1/72. I have started On my Picture Research. It usually takes me about 2-3 months of just model Research before I start a project. yeah I know Its a long time for research, But I get it RIGHT I have a few pics from around the net but I need More. IF you have any pictures Of Markings, Decals, Color for the QF-3000 Ghost (TV Version) - 1/72; Please post them on this Thread. Thank you, What I have so far is. Thank you any help to my research will be greatly appreciated. Look for pics of my Traditional VF-1A Super (TV Version of the Last battle) I am working on a diorama. However I am not sure if I want to finish it as a Pre-Battle VF-1A (sitting on the Flight Deck) or a Post-Battle Version with Lots of battle Damage, but still holding strong after all hell broke loose Anyway thanks for your help in my research if anyone can help me Ranger565
