Ryuji

These will be sold through Hobbyfan right?

No, I will produce and sell myself.

Thanks for comments!

Front panel.

Finished side control panels.

I'm planning to offer both heads as optional parts.

Beautiful work as always, Ryuji!!

I guess I'm the weird one here, 'cause I think the open-mouthed one looks more like Misa. Must be something with the eyes on that one....

The eyes are exactly the same ... I just made a copy of the head and change the mouth.

(I don´t know why, but with closed mouth she reminds me Kazumi Amano from Gunbuster... )

I made a closed mouth version - not sure which one is better...

(back to work... YAY! )

Changed hair, hand and neck strip.

I don't have vacuum tool...

An option is try to heat a 3mm plastic sheet over the resin fuselase to get the curve, then reforce with some structure and make a resin copy.

The original was an 1mm sheet and just glued to the structure.

Thanks for support!

About the cost of the kit... I think will be about US$110,00 (shipping included)

I made a copy in resin of left side fuselage and as a solid part, use a lot of resin! I was planning to build both sides, but after that, i gived up - the right side will be only a plastic sheet wall.

I tried to make a copy in polyester resin to reduce price, but solid part is too heavy!!

cockpit update.

Ryuji, any update?

Sorry for delay...

I'm still rebuilding the cockpit parts...

Here the new seat and front panel (not finished)

Hey Ryuji, check out Mr. March's excellent website. The bottom right corner of this page pretty much has all the cockpit lineart from DYRL.

Here's a sample.

Thanks!!

That's what I needed!

BTW, anyone have some image of DYRL VF-1 cckpit? I was using this image, but it's from tv serie and is completly different from the movie...

Cockpit basic detailment.

I made using 1,2 and 3 mm plastic sheet.

Thanks for comments!

Now I'm building the cockpit - I will back to the figure and make some modifications after.

changed hair to DYRL style, separate from head and paint test.

something is wrong and still doesn't look like Misa ... (maybe it's her nose )

Finished uniform stripes.

Very nice work!!

I'm still changing her face...

Finished today to make a "back up mold".

Tomorrow I will make a copy and start the modifications.

nice collection!

She is just in an informal pose...not in a military ceremony.

Looking good so far but is it possible to close the hand up and make it straighter? At the moment she looks more as if she's waving instead of saluting.

like the reference?
