Clean?!? Don't you mean grip your gunpod and rapid fire all over her face. *Sorry, couldn't resist. That's enough of these shenanigans.

WOW!! That is the best representation to date. Nice and chunky, but not fat. Just enough beef and grisle to lay down the law. AWESOME!!! Well done Yamato. Very well done, indeed.

Could it be? Since Toynami used the label Macross on their 1/100 line, Big West allowed them to work in conjunction with Bandai? Here's to hoping that Toynami can be allowed to ONLY distribute (and not part take in the creation of) MacrossF toys.

Lots of updates, but there is too much to divulge at this time. Everyone can come to the Con and see it completed and painted.

Lazy!?! Sounds very ironic, coming from you. I'm surprised you still have the yearn and strengh to type comments on these boards. You lazy-no-good-son-of-a-...! SUCKA!!!!

The head is not in the correct battroid position. Consult your instruction book, it will demonstrate how to rotate the neck plate into the proper position.

If you can peel the graphics (usually die-cut) off the sheet with tweezers or your finger nails, most likely their stickers. If you have to cut and place the graphics in water to loosen them from the carrier and activate the adhesive on the graphic, then guess what? Decals.

Hey Ruskii, Thanks for the pics. Yeah, I have these. Sorry, no seat sliding for VE-1. Anybody else have pics?

Is that a 1/90 custom TV Q-rau!?!? Damn those are sooooooooo swwwwwweeeeeeeeeT!!!!!!

Thanks. BTW - The head on the Vt-1 works like a charm. It's all primed and ready. Now on to finish the heatshield.

Nice pics, Nick!!! What really surprises me about the Thunder Hammer, is that there is nothing to repair or clean. It's almost like getting a new toy and not a kit.

Does anyone have really good lineart pics or more reference pics than these provided be Macross Mecha Manual, for the VE-1? I need to begin planning parts for both electronic components on the arms.

The color selected for this piece is beautiful. Wonderful job. Any chance of getting more angles?

If all goes well with Yamato, they are more than welcome to do so. Originally, I had planned on making a few different VF-1D types, such as; Trainer, Virgin Road, and CF. But for the meantime, I will only say this will remain as a prototype should Yamato request it, upon agreed terms.

That has been my idea from the start of the VT-1. The head design for the Ostrich is a bit extreme in the sense of moving parts and parts count. So far the number of parts required to make the head (and neck) work as designed is 14 parts, to date. Since the VT-1 is a bit more complex than the the VE-1, I started with the latter. All I need to do is finish Ostrich and borrow a few bits and begin the Elint.

Answering stoooooopid questions like these. SUCKA!!!

What's the estimated weight of this kit?

Damn, now that's love for a man who loves a YF-21.

It's not that "you're not feeling it as much," you're just cheap. Bastid

Sweeeet, and they come with metal fastpacks!!

The head split down the middle and then the lens will pop out. Keep your eye ono the eye. Next, remove the headlasers held in place with screws. The neck is self explanitory. Use a very sharp exacto to split it open. Go slow and steady. Just be very careful and have bandages handy. Good Luck.

Just mocked everything up really quick. These are probably the last pics you'll be seeing for a while. I'll finish this and begin the next project. *The thrusters in the booster are just used as fillers. The backpack still needs the newly designed hinge. You can see how far back the backpack sits compare to the corrected position of the booster.
