  1. That is simply awesome. Amazing job, as always. I suspect you're going to sell quite a few of these kits.
  2. Best places to start (from using the search button): http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=paper+valkyrie http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=paper+valkyrie Several PDf files for various paper models used to be available on the iMacross servers, but they seem to never be online anymore.
  3. Very nicely done! Those colors are a great match.

    Global

    Yeah, he's just in a box... 378611[/snapback] Just like Frank! But hopefully Global re-emerges from his box looking better than I imagine Frank would.
  5. I'd forgotten about those. Didn't the -1J have an all red camo scheme? Hm. Now I need to find that so I can recreate it on a 1/55, or maybe a Hasegawa kit.
  6. Slightly offtopic, but I followed the link in your .sig to your other customs. Fanatastic job on all them!
  7. I meant to post in the earlier thread that I bet the camo would sell like crazy in Japan. After seeing it in all modes now I'm even more certain of it. I didn't pick up on the JASDF connection. Good call on that one, everybody. It looks great in fighter mode. I still think it's silly as a battroid. But if it's a limited edition I imagine it will go quickly. I like the stealth mor everytime I see it. Reminds me of the MOSPEADA Shadow Fighter - but cooler. Who's going to be the first to customize an armor set for one of these?
  8. To be fair, after seeing the larger pics that Graham put on the site I'm a little less hostile to the camo. I still don't like it, mind you, but I've supressed my initial revulsion to the point that I want to see what it looks like in fighter mode from several different angles. And both new valks photographed under different lighting. I suppose we'll see magazine shots soon enough, though. BUT - if a design will only look good in fighter mode it's much cheaper just to build a fighter model and paint it yourself. For the cost of a transformable toy it better look pretty snazzy in all 3 modes and some battroid poses!
  9. The Stealth isn't bad. I was hoping for something more interesting, but it's about what I expected they'd actually do. I'm witholding a final opening until I see what it looks like in the other modes. The "low vis" is awful. Whoever is responsible for that should be fired. Even worse, it will drive up prices of the "real" low vis. Wasn't that based on a fan custom? Why couldn't they have reproduced one of the excellent camo valks already out there? Now that VF-0S is a thing of beauty!
  10. Since you got the Gamecube I'd recommend you try out Mario Kart Double Dash, both of the Super Monkeyball games, and Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. I think all of the co-op games are what really made that system worth owning. (But ROTK, at least, is available for XBox and PS2, as well).
  11. If more people were capable of taking photographs like that we might post more finished pics. Excellent job!
  12. I don't mean to sound like a dick, but I found this really funny, considering the topic of many of the replies in this thread. I think you mean "macross zero footage + The Rolling Stones' classic Paint It Black, which has been called by critics 'one of the most influential tracks of the 20th century' and was reportedly one of the most popular songs with soldiers fighting in the Vietnam War, and used in almost every movie, television show, afterschool special, or videogame about that war for the following 40 years." I never heard of "Tour of Duty", even though I was around 13 then. I had to look it up on IMDB. I guess if it was on for 3 seasons, though, it must have been somewhat popular. But I think the song reached its peak of popularity 20 years before then. That does make me think, though- do all of the teenagers and college students making AMVs even know what Top Gun was, or do they just know "Danger Zone" is "the jet fighter song"?
  13. A little more work on the legs tonight. I also discovered I made my first mistake. I left the central beam in the pelis pieces to make sure it would fit after they dried together. Unfortunately it looks like a bit of glue leaked out while it was drying, and the beam is now irremovable- and sticking out a few millimeters too far on one side. When I finish with both legs I'm going to have to cut the end off and use a scrap piece to reinforce it before I finally mount them.
  14. Okay, I had a few free minutes tonight, so I put the first few pieces together.
  15. Now THAT I've got to see! I did a little more work yesterday, but just the first of the circular pieces took as much time as all the rest up to this point. I'm going to be busy with research and stuff for the new job the next day or so, so the next update might be on hold for awhile. Here's the pic that was included in the "phantom post" from Saturday of the first few pieces:
