    Kurisama's Custom 1/60 Upgrades & Add-ons

    in Toys

    Posted

    Hey dude!!

    Thanks so much :) How awesome of you!!

    I spent today fixing the old VF-4 model, some nasty and yucky geo there, but it's good now. I ended up breaking open my 1/60 VF-4 and checked to see if I could get more chin/jaw in there, looks like I can. I also started to make the other heads;

    Top left is the original/old/shapeways head - the one to it's immediate right is the slightly tweaked chin/jawline and small details. Bottom left and right are the others from the book.

    The S-type is going to be very tricky to keep within the confines of the recess on the fuselage. You can see my progress so far, just trying to re-jig everything into place.

    stickers tested
    fits perfectly with the head
    I hope have Kurisama news very soon and to tell us that it's okay

    Awesome!! Yeah, I'm ok. Went through a kinda rough period, on the mend tho - a few more weeks and I have a few months free to just 3D model and art it up.

    Looks great, Valhary. I still have mine in the packaging. I'm going to make it at some point, but right now, my focus is on the YF-25 Paladin. Unfortunately, I had to make a recast of the Frame Out parts due to fragility, but I'm working on the lance and the knee attachment now. All the rest is pieces from Armor and Fast Pack sets.

    Would love to see an update on this, honestly.

    Hey man, no worries on letting anyone down here. We all go through stuff that we don't want, or don't want to go through, but it happens. Life and wellness are most important, and I know for myself, I'm not let down. You have a talent no doubt, and we want your designs, but there's so much more that's important, and you have my support.

    Glad to know you're still on the forums.

    Thanks buddy :) I appreciate the sentiments, most people here on the boards are really awesome dudes - that's why i can't stay away!

    ok although they are minor upgrades make a big difference specifically for the qau the articulated hands leave me feeling of the lazy yamato was when did this toy
    and for the vf 1x++ head originally I planned use the longs laser canons but once in hand I decided for the short because looks more aggressive I love it
    once again thanks to Kurisama for making this possible I hope do not give up and continue giving us upgrades and conversion kits for our macross toys

    You are most welcome, and I'll get around to it - eventually.

    I can feel ya, man. I've been battling it myself lately. I know it sucks when you can't find joy where you used to, or where you feel you should.

    Feel free to PM, if you need to commiserate semi-anonymously. No judgement, no connections to real life - just shared geeky interests.

    Thank you Kelsain!!

    You're the best, Kurisama. Don't let it get you down. As someone who also struggles with depression, I know how it can be. Know that you have everyone's support!

    See? You guys are top dudes :)

    Hang in there mate - it may feel a lonely place but you're anything other than alone.

    High five, man!

    what material to used again for buying VF-1X++ at Shapeway?

    You chose the right one!!

    hello kurisama I was wondering if you could do this head vf-4 saw in the master file and it was love at first sight hehe, excuse me if I misspelled, I'm using a translator <a href="http://s1114.photobucket.com/user/aiorus26/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20161018_202932145_zpsy1pc0siu.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k525/aiorus26/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20161018_202932145_zpsy1pc0siu.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_20161018_202932145_zpsy1pc0siu.jpg"/></a>

    I actualy had been sitting on this MF book for a while now, only decided to ship it a few days ago, I'd assumed there was some new stuff in there - but not unitl now had anyone posted anything!!

    That S-type head LOOKS frakkIN' COOOOL.

    You can bet your ass I'll be making that.

    Now, to start a charity so i can afford another VF-4...

    Hey guys, long time no show.

    Truth is, I've been super-dimensionally-depressed for a while. I don't have the urge or motivation to even open up the 3D program.

    I do however want to stress that the support from you guys are the shards of light puncturing the darkness of the gollum-type cave I've frequented for some time over the years.

    I feel I've let a lot of people down, and it is easier to just ignore this thread & others and just dive into the shadows.

    Occasionally I come up for air, and sometimes it's nicer than I think.

    I know it'll get better.

    Thanks amigos.

    Hey Kurisama. Got the VF-1X++ head from Shapeways today. I already sand off some of the parts for test-fitting. And it looks great! I love it. I'm planning to use the long head turrets but when I transform it into Valkyrie mode, the turrets were kinda wide open so I will end up using the short ones for Valkyrie mode. And just use the long ones when it displayed in Battroid mode. ;)

    Here's some photos during test-fitting:

    !!!!! DUDE! I'm sorry I haven't responded before - not sure how I missed this! Looks pretty cool, if i don't say so myself. Please update with more pics!! And also, thank you for buying the kit!!

    Whoaa this head is really nice! I don't understand why Macross the Ride is still not exploited by a Toy company

    I know right? I'd love a slew of custom, hot-rodded valks!

    damn it! looks so good reminds me the vf 2j

    I love that head sculpt too!!!

    Prime that sucker!

    I concur!

    I've got mine as well. It looks great. I was able to score the actual Frameout version, so I'm gonna do a comparison of the two. This one is a solid design though. I think I prefer it better. I really need to get the rest of the parts though. Not the Fast pack parts. I know those will be a lot of work, but the verniers on the nose, the fat wings, the shortene tail fins, etc.

    Whats the frameout version? Would love to see. Thank you for your kind words :) I will get to them one day, but I'm busy and tired these days!

    I would like to put in my "other" vote for better, tighter missiles for the Yamato version VF-4G One has already been lost (an arm mounted one) and in a household that has 2 and 8 year old kids, losing more feels like just a matter of time. I know how to "tighten" with superglue, nail polish etc. but that doesn't bring the lost missile back. My other option is to wait until 3-D copying becomes more accessible i guess.

    This is a very viable possibility. I have the VF-4 within arms reach here :)

    I'm proposing this as your next project. Covers to hide the swing bars on the new VF-2SS.

    The image/gif is not mine, but it works perfectly.

    OMG, the shamozzle that was the VF-2SS... I almost pulled the trigger on this, but then I became poor - luckily, it seems. That is an AWESOME gif, very clever - I wonder what other improvements could be made to that............. I like the idea tho - verrrrrry much.

    Now all we need is send Kurisama a copy of VF-2SS so he can measure and test it. ^_^

    That's how it'd have to be - I don't own one. If this did happen, I'd need someone to send it to me, which would of course be sent back. I'm in the start of semester at uni again, however - so pretty busy for a while, but I often find I work best when I'm not supposed to be working on whatever 'it' may be. Take from that what you will.

    Ok mate. Ordered a 19-style arm canon

    And 2 impacto canons as well

    Thank you~! I fixed the impacto cannons (rebuilt the main section actually) but you didn't re-order? Oh well.

    I ordered a new head for my Qrau, to get to free shipping!

    :D Goddamn, my Custom Rau is standing there looking at me me, unfinished... for nearly 4 years?! :(

    Added the custom VF-4 head and a six pak of ant Vaj missles

    Thank you Kurisama San!

    Thank you VERY much!

    Just wanted to check in, and mostly say hi, but to see if you have any updates to any of your projects? Hope all is well.

    Eh, could be better - but projects are there, un-touched, making me feel bad for no finishing them - I need some inspiration.

    Just ordered the VF-1X head from Kurisama along with Yeti's 0A Leg Nub Joint. Hoping that I will have time to paint this one for my planned part swap custom VF-1. ;)

    Awesome - please post pics of it - I haven't been able to order one as yet.

    I just ordered the head, but I was also gonna get some of the HMMs and noticed those are no longer there. Are those gonna come back?

    Hey man, the HMMs are still there;
