That's one impressive collection of customs, love it!! One of these days you need to finish that 1/48 VT-1... it would be the Ultimate one of a kind as I don't think anyone else has ever attempted it. 

Your 1/55 customization skills are next level! 

I definitely do need to finish these 1/48 customs, they deserve it.

Thanks for the compliment.

Hey all, forgive my manners. Thank you all for the comments and acknowledgments.

@twich

@MKT

thanks again.

It’s the knuckle joint for the shoulder.

If only Bandai would take their building level up a couple of notches they could get these gimmicks accomplished.

Does it transform? I assume it is made from a Yamato 1/48? It looks very well done!

Twich

It is from a 1/48, but does not nor is it meant to transform. More along the lines of the VF-X TEST.

How come no toy manufacturer has done this option? We've got all the others so far.

If anything, I would like to see any manufacturer tackle this instead.

What is that grey VF-1 custom that looks like it was based off of a Yamato 1/48 VF-1? It is on the left side of the picture, below the VF-1A Hikaru in battroid.

Thanks!

Were these ever fully completed? (Painted, decals, etc.)

Unfortunately, no.

They both reside in this state. I have completed everything necessary for casting, but never got around to it.

If you attend SDCon this year they will be present.

VE-1 & VT-1.. purely because they have never been done before in 1/48.

Well, just not officially.

My seat is done.

The 1/350 Texas got a primer coat this morning.... 

That looks like a fun kit.  
 

I think the only large water vessel I ever built was the Titanic. And I found the kit on my way to school one morning. Picked up the mangled box and sprues and was surprised that most of the kit was there. It was a fun build. To this day I have no idea why anyone would throw away a model kit.

Nice! That answers the question of whether or not a 1/60 pilot can fit in a 1/55. 

Your custom work is topnotch on these vintage Valk's. 

Thank you. I have always wanted a really nice 1/55.

Now is the time.  
 

FYI - The pilot is 1/48.

Still have tons of fun with this build.

Adorable!!!

This somehow crosses that bridge of model building and cosplay.

I've been thinking what if Hasbro never talked to Takatoku/ Matsushiro about using their unreleased toy called Jetfire, what if the toy later integrated in the Macross universe instead ? while flown by a girl named Melissa Jettofaia or shortened as Missy Jetfire? (maybe a distant cousin to Hikaru Ichijyo?) who was the newest character and she operated her Valk based on this design/paint and in this alternate universe, everyone into Macross just refers to her as Ms. Jetfire. in this timeline Hasbro in 1986 introduced Skyfire based on his design while releasing a toy based on it in early 1987 and there was never that "bridge" between these universes and transformers Jetfire never existed.

I think Missy Jetfire is the missing link.

 

???

Your past the two drink limit.

😛 

KO YamArcadia V.2 renewed… as JETFIRE.

Deluxe (with extras) or standard.

This purchase could be something Very Fun and interestingly large, jumbo even.  

It’s getting there.

looking pretty dang close to the original!

I think he’s done.

And what a marvelous custom.
