Hey everyone, I apologize for delay, but the thread is up in the "For Sale & Trade" section... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=34282 Max

Hey everyone, It's been more than a good month since my last update. I've been busy casting... I'll be making a separate thread in the sale section for the casts. I didn't take a pic with my Max because he's still in the box, I only took a pic with Miria because she was already out of the box (still in the plastic tray. Plus... I was too lazy to transform her, lol). I apologize for the horrible lighting. Max

Okay here's a preview pic from my phones' crappy camera (I'll post some better ones later when my camera's battery recharges)... So from left to right is Gamlin's CC, and the other three were tester's of possible color matching for M&M's CCs. Gamlin's is grey resulting from just enough black to the mixture, The 2nd is a mixture of Gamlin's with a light touch of blue (could substitute for Max, but that was before I realized M&M's canopy frame is royal blue), The 3rd is a mixture with more blue, The 4th is a mixture with equal amounts of purple and blue. For the last two colors I attempted to achieve the Royal Blue that resembles the canopy frame on M&M's VF-22Ses without over saturating the mixture with color. The last one actually looks more purple in person. Definitely more color testing for M&M's CCs are in the works, the unfortunate part is that it's set to rain in my area for this week (NYC) and moisture will definitely kill the casting process. Hopefully the rain will die down towards the end of this week.

Hmm... I hope there isn't any misunderstanding, but just to clarify that this thread is for the canopy covers (battroid mode) for the VF-22S and not the actual canopies or canopy mod/recasts fitted for the YF-21. Generally the canopy cover when in battroid mode wouldn't actually be clear.

Hey everyone... A possible ballpark range for the price of the canopies will be $8~10 (not final, I haven't included the man hours and all the expenses). The actual colors for the canopies on the Yamato VF-22S M&M are more bluish while Gamlin's is more grey. I almost have the color for Gamlin's canopy as a match, maybe just a tad lighter than what it should be. For some reason Yamato's coloring/paint for the canopy seems to have a hint of brown/tan in it? Whatever the case I don't think I'm going to throw brown/tan in it. I'll have to cast up some canopies for M&M in the blue-ish grey for you all to see and I'll have pics of Gamlin's coming up real soon.

The project was put on a hiatus due to a extremely personal life altering issue (from the months of July-August) and I know this thread/topic is probably dead, but I'll still be looking/aiming to complete this project by the end of this month. I've started the mold creation process this weekend and I probably won't be casting as many canopy covers as anticipated (I guess the production will be based off demand). I'll keep you guys posted.

Hey guys, Progress as promised. I know the color isn't right, but it was the only grey I had in a spray can (Haze Grey). Max

Hey guys, I've started this project a while back, but was unable to finish due to college. Since I'm done with college I've picked the project back up and made some progress on it. If the final version turns out well and depending on demand I may cast them (for a very reasonable price)... The current wip version (shown) attaches to the canopy via friction and holds fairly well (upside down, side ways, and even through shaking). Comments/feedback are welcome. Max

Aww... these unassembled vf-1s are tempting.

Wow... never realized that people were still looking at this thread. Actually I started up a canopy cover towards the end of the summer (July-August), but never finished it because school started. I'm hoping to get this finished up in the next month. It could actually be friction fitted with no magnets needed. I'll post up some picks as soon as i charge my camera.

Ordered a set of Max and Miria from Over-Drive. I want two sets, but my budget won't permit it. -=\

Definitely shopped. They didn't extend the lower-legs/shins all the way.

Just got a notification from Over-Drive about processing my Alto Armored pack... -=]

They look awesome. Picked up two sets. Too bad this wasn't available earlier in the summer. This would've given me some motivation to build my alto kit.

Is it me or is there no sound in the video? ***EDIT*** After watching the vid... I must say that I really wished they didn't leave the upper diecast arm parts grey. They should have chromed it out like the intake section or metalized them like the kankles.

The red was changed to black some months back.

I almost spat on my laptop by choking on my drink and erupt with laughter when I read your reply. LOL ***EDIT*** With all the nice pics I'm about to make some space and pull mine out just so it can take some abusing. XD

Ahh okay... yea you were referring to Jetfire from the TF line. Yea that thing is unfortunate.

Ohh... you meant that thing. Yea its the crappy fodder version of Sideswipe from the HA line. Notice how it's just sitting in the pile of stuff. My valks get plenty of standing room, no matter how much they fall apart on me. LOL

Huh??? I guess it flew past my head... XD

He didn't just matt the armor. He coated it with a flat mix of some sort. You can see the color difference by the chest armor missile bays.

Yup got mine like a week ago (on the 13th to be precise). I had to pay the additional shipping fee because it was a larger shipment than A.E. originally anticipated.

BEWARE!!! The Headless VF-22S! LOL I was in mid transformation back to gerwalk mode and the face just unclipped itself...

Nice if thats really the case then maybe I'll consider one.
