My straight build of the VF-25F Alto...

Nothing special

This Valk is Absolutely BADASS!!!!!

Few more battroid.

Not really a model... but that's what I've been working on lately

OT: did you notice this:

Gosh, a SV-51-like Valk without the pope head! It looks oh so pretty.... they MUST come up with this toy/model kit!

That sums it up pretty nicely ... I think that this VF-25 is my favorite design for now...

Well That seems absolutely awesome! I haven't built a [non-flyable] model in 10 years and I think that I'll buy this one as soon as it gets out!!! 4200 Yen!!! That's marvelous! I was so fond of the Arii tranformable battroids as a teenager... it seems that my bedroom will have a new decoration in August or September... I absolutely can't wait to buy this one... nevermind the rivets if there aren't any... to me this model seems so perfect and so consistent with the series... oh darn I absolutely can't wait :-P

Try http://www.ronminiatures.com/ ... the chief modeller is a friend of mine. He works for the cinema industry

All Macross anime

And again:

the "Bill Of Materials"

One again:

One more for ElintSeeker lovers (not my favorite at all, but I'm aware that many people here love it!):

I like this one: it shows pretty well how the transformation works...

The person who built this has some other photos up here:

PHOTOS

Some of those kits pictured were actually sold on Yahoo Japan a few months back.

Wow! Unbelievable!!!!! Too bad I stopped learning Japanese! I'd be better able to search for photos of kitbashes on japanese websites!

Yup... sorry Alpha HX, shouldn't have done it, but I couldn't help it... this kitbash was too gorgeous...

Where did you find the pics on the other thread/on this one?

... once I'm done with it Hase will release one.

It's not nice to tease ...

This is cruel from him! Moderators! That guy is meeeeaaaaan!

Wait... is that true? Would Hasegawa even think about doing transformable kits?

Well, we should thank Alpha HX, for it is he who first posted the pics

Maybe the kitbasher used some parts from the Bandai/Arii VF1 transformable kit? Or from the Hase VF1 battroid kit?

Dunno... but it's one of the best conversions ever

Hello all!

I shouldn't be posting this myself, but I couldn't help it... the photos were too gorgeous... AlphaHX posed some photos of a kitbash hasegawa VF0D in the fanwork forum... I haven't fully understood whether he is the author of the kitbash, but it is TOO great!

After seeing that, I wonder why some people still say that Hasegawa SHOULD NOT manufacture transformable models... I would gladly pay 40 bucks on such a kit from Hase, were it transformable (and in my opinion, a transformable VF0 kit wouldn't contain more than 2 times the number of parts of a non-transformable VF0, so the price would only have to be doubled...)

Anyway, I would prefer a rather "brittle" (even VERY brittle) and gorgeous transformable kit to a "surdy" more expansive and not-so-realistic yammie...

This kitbash is absolutely gorgeous! Did you do it yourself Alpha? Somebody else? Any link to a webpage with more photos?

Not Macross, not plastic, but model... and lying on my workbench

Now a FW-190 (16.5 inches wingspan, Guillows)

Not Macross, not plastic, but model... and lying on my workbench

Now a cessna 150 (Guillows)

Not Macross, not plastic, but model... and lying on my workbench

wooohoo!!!!

Is this battroid a conversion of the fighter kit? Or an upcoming model? Other pics? Please, I'm in need!

Regarding CG, I liked the mecha but strongly disliked the CG characters, since the techniques used only allowed a very small palette of facial expressions and body motion was very inexpressive and artificial. Oshii indeed made a much better job in Innocence, where characters were made out of traditional anime techniques and the background (objects, cars, houses, buildings, etc...) was CG.

I found that the story in "Appleseed 2004" was terrible and did not make justice to Shirow Masamune's manga at all. The story in the manga is dense and complex... That of the movie is simplistic...

Last, the colors chosen for some landmates and characters were atrocious (the purple hair of Yoshi, Deunan's landmate...). I definitley would have prefered to wait one or two more years and have a movie made by Oshii, even with a few superfluous quotes from Descartes and Spinoza.

O.o

looks like Kyla Cole should be doing some Millia cosplay

oh, what the heck

"Macross: Do You Remember F***"

Sorry guys, I had to let that out... but 'tis true, Kyla Cole has a cute face...
