Guys,

I'm looking for the data sheet on the Type 100 Recon craft (ep. 1 & 14): line drawings etc would also be useful.

Thanks,

Greg

Nice! Great paint job too.

That gashapon Q-Rau is also very cool.

Got my volume 4 yesterday - wow.

Now I'm stuck: only 'discovered' volume 1 in early February. Now I've caught up and have to wait like everyone else :-/

Bring on April!!!

Having purchased the Blu-ray volume 1 & 2 and the requisite Blu-ray player: all I can say is 'Wow!'

The quality of the animation, the tightness and pacing of the script, the overall high production values have produced an entertaining, brisk and extremely watchable show!

To say that I am impressed is an understatement - this is magic!

Wow!

Yamato takes off from Earth. It's in the score CD. The first track is a classic track remade for 2199 but asn't been released yet. Maybe on part 2.

Thanks

What is that music from 1:12??

Thanks guys! I'm pretty confident with scratchbuilding & mods, I'm just keen to confirm whether the 'real' (anime?) VF-0 had the c/f fitted in the locations as modelled in the other link.

Regards,

Greg

Thanks - that was the scene I was thinking of. Still can't find any pics of the outside though! Nagmammit!

This is the build I was talking about:

Guys,

Just 'discovered' Macross Zero and the VF-0 (thanks VF-0 Master File).

One of the builds online has chaff/flare buckets added to the arms. Does anyone have a reference for this, or is it creative licence?

Also, any pics of the refuelling probe & recess would be helpful.

Regards,

Greg

I think they didn't sorry

That's a shame: they look great.

I should be able to do a few more valks in the spring if you guys want one...

thanks

mike

Yes please Mike! Please include an 'A' head.

Any pics of competed ones?

Greg

Looks amaze-balls! Very, very slick.

More please!

It's been updated now though..

Considering how every VF-1 has the exact same wing-stripe shape

*every DYRL VF-1?

Thanks - very helpful!

Greg

I'm looking for an article I read about from a Japanese model magazine detailing a conversion of the Hasegawa 1/48 VF-1 fighter into a Battroid.

Any help appreciated!

Greg

1. VF-1A: toss up between Max or cannon fodder.

2. VF-11B: Isamu's with FAST packs & bayonet.

3. VF-1J: as it's the mount for three of my favourite characters.

The VF-1S (TV) is also a favourite, but I think it has enough love...

Greg

Is the Full Armour (GBP?) for the VF-11C still available?

Of course! That will most likely be next on the list. If a few of the S heads sell, that should give me the funds to try the A head.

I've mostly been working on sub-d versions of the nose and cockpit parts, and much of that is ready to print, but those parts are going to be a lot more expensive than the heads. I don't imagine that I could likely sell enough heads to fund a whole nose section. We'll see...

Looks like I need to start saving for the nose! Much better idea than my vacform one.

I may be able to help with the nose too.

For those of you who requested it...

The 1/24 VF-1S head is now available for purchase at my new Shapeways shop:

Wow - thanks Dan. Any plans for an A head?

Not mine, looks nice!

Impressive.

I'm looking forward to seeing the new parts & how you're going to solve the arm extension and attachment, especially in Gerwalk mode.

Greg

It really depends on the kid. Some are a lot more observant (possibly considered difficult.) Others are perfectly happy to let accuracy slide as long as they're having fun. I also tend to think that if by eight/nine the kid can't play with something without breaking it then somebody has done something wrong with that one.

I'm looking more at the accidental breakage, not malicious intent. My son is pretty observant and detail focused though....

Thanks for the input guys, most appreciated. At first I was considering buying an unbuilt Yamoto and building it for him (modeller's habit)! Looks like there's lots of 1/55 CF joy on eBay. Good option for Australia.

Thanks again.

Greg
