    1/48 VF1 Recast

    in The Workshop!

    Posted · Edited by Viceland

    Last time I heard from him via PM that he mentioned that he needs 15 orders before the project takes off. I think he has at least 7 or 8 so far. PM or email him if you are interested.   :)

    I e-mailed him (or PM'ed, can't remember) last week about this but received no reply thus far, hense my question of whether or not someone had heard from him lately (he hasn't posted on MW in a while), maybe he's on vacation or something, or figured out he's not a Macross fan anymore :o:rolleyes::p;) . I'll send another PM but if someone close to Neova can get him to contact me I would appreciate it B)).

    edti: fixed some gibberrish

    I can't think of anything right now but before and after the fix pictures would definatelyhelp. I'm pretty sure the current molds are shot since it has pulled 2-3 runs already. We can fix the masters and get better molds made.

    Everyone who wants on on MW will get "hooked up" if the project is a go. :D

    Anyone hear from Neova lately about this?? Was the project to fix the UD Masters and cast new kits abandoned or did I miss something?? Cause I would'nt mind at all getting "hooked up" with at least 2 UD VF-1s... I really hope this project happens :unsure:

    @ Valkyrie: Congrats on the auction win!! and thanks for sharing your pics. I would love it if you could make me some good scans of the parts layout sheet & instructions for those 2 kits, if you ever find the time to do me that favor.

    @ Slideshot: I really appreciate you sharing that link and that article, thanks!! It would be even cooler if you could find one for me :D;) , do you think it'll ever get re-released?

    BTW, I have 1/72 kits of the Lonkeer and Schira-Dow that General Products made back in The Day. They're the top and bottom planes on that book's cover.

    @ Valkyrie: I'd love to see pics of those!!! if you can find them in your huge Stash O' Kits B))

    @ honneamise: Thanks fro the tip, I had no clue these had been made, a little too small for me though so I think I'll pass.

    Possible Upcoming Hase Macross Kits!

    Be patient, the VF-11 is scheduled for the last quarter of 2005! Hasegawa just released the "new box" VF-1 with all heads, so give them time to milk money first!
    Yeah, I agree with Andy, if the VF-11 is not coming until the end of 2005, it's unlikely that we will see a magazine announcement for it for several months yet.

    Patience folks.

    I just noticed something strange. At Mandarake Umeda there were 5 1/72 IMAI VF-1 gerwalk kits. At Mandarake Nanba there were 3. Pochi had 2. Wonder why people are dumping their 1/72 gerwalks all of a sudden?

    So people are gonna start dumping their Club-M VF-11's too???

    Just arrived.

    Well I'm also going to cast some 1/72 scale black polyurethane rubber wheels for my kits. Don't quite have all the details worked out yet but I think it should work out O.K. The only thing I am worried about is the possibility of the poly-rubber wheel compressing too much when everything is assembled, but I think that it is only a very remote possibility at most.

    IMO, I feel it would be acceptable to offer such parts (1/72 scale black polyurethane rubber wheels), since they would fall in the "aftermarket customizing parts" arena, as opposed to the flat out recasting of existing parts still in production by the manufacturer.

    On your first offer, maybe if you modified a Fastpack, adding a 6-barrel gatling gun or some other customization, THEN recast that as a custom add-on part for still available Hase Valk kits, that would be more acceptable. I'm sure such ideas have previously been discussed around here but I missed those discussions, so I don't know how other members feel about such customizing/casting of parts.

    I've been looking all over the web for good quality reference pictures of aircrafts from Wings of Honneamise so I can attemp to scratchbuild the main fighter and bomber, what I could find so far is less than satisfactory.

    Official VB-6 Koenig Monster Order Thread

    Bump... O Koenig, where art thou?

    ChristopherB, since you are now back to MW on a more regular basis, maybe the list should be updated to include those who have recently shown interest in getting a kit, or have opted to back out, either by posting or PMing you. I saw requests to be added or removed going back to November '04 that don't show on the list.

    edit: re-structured confusing sentence
