  1. I opened my wallet when I saw the first pics Legioss & Tread. And here I still sit waiting for HLJ to take my money for one or two. Is it here yet?

    How about now?

    Now?

    How about now?

    Just checking is it here yet?

  2. Back to topic

    The only thing that I don't like is the size and the shoulders. I think that if they would have made it a 1/3000 scale like the Matchbox I think the shoulder would have been better. With that said I love the Macross version allot better then the Robotech, so I was tickled pink to get this.

    Question: Did they run out or running out of stock on this item?

  3. Are you planning to sculpt a new head? The 'D' head is different from the 'A' head.

    Yes I would like to make the new head but I will wait until I get through the wing first. I think I would beable to use the VF-0A for the cast then make the changes with epoxy and sanding.

  4. "How do you plan on modifying the cockpit and canopy? Or should we just stay tuned?"

    I think I'm not going to hit that one. I will leave it a single seater .

    "nice work! And I like how you were lazy on the leg lines because it's covered by the leg armor anyway. Work smart, not hard!"

    That was done intentionally. The pic on the VF-0d model box looked wavy to me not clean.

    "Nice, if you get this to work you'll have to recast the peices, I might actually by a VF-0A just to get it made into a VF-0D then?"

    I was just think about this. After I cast the wings and the stabilizers I will probable sell kits with instructions. I just have to the cast first, which will be new to me so may take some time.

    "Nice paint job so far, but I can see the original paint "bleeding" through your new one."

    That is some of the new paint you see. I did a special mix for my HAG. VF-0D model which I used for the VF-0A conversion. To get this color I mixed Light Grey with Dark Grey and finally Bright Blue. it does have some Grey striking that shows through on photos but looks better in person.

    Man I was having a tough time getting the Quotes to work

  5. Hi all. I have started the conversion of my Yamato 1/60 VF-0A into a VF-0D. So far I have just painted. I plan on moving the tail fins into the outer edge of the legs. That should be easy. The hard part is making the new wings and the intake stabilizers. Anyway here are the pics of the new paint job.

  6. Legioss & Tread how sweet it is. I will take many pics of my squadron when I get them this summer. I will then email all my pics with a letter saying " you missed the boat" to Toynami. I am really glade however that Toynami Blow me off as a Robotech fan, because I have since been devoting myself more to Macross.

  7. Ok guys and gals. I just bought another VF-0A 1/60 to custom into a VF-0D. I think I got the tail fins figured out playing around with the VF-0A I have now but what I don't know yet how to do is make the new wings and the stabilizing wings on the intakes. I figure I will have to use some type of resin cast but I have not done anything like this yet.

    I would appreciate any and all input.

    Thanks
