@Ignacio Ocamica That's looking awesome! You gonna make casts we can buy?

@Urashiman That would be an excellent kit to own! I know I thought about making one a while back, but too much going on. Are you going to sell to us too? - Phill

Yes, I want to try to cast it.

Wow!!!! I'm speechless, love the proportions so far!!!!

Patience my friend, at least we've found the way to get them through!

Yes!!! We'll finally have our Strike Parts for Hikaru and we'll be able to ship the 1S Focker after release!!

@MechTech

@505thAirborne

@Thom

Thank you all!!!

I cheated with the face (made a mold from an old action figure I had from when I was a kid). I am sculpting the helmet around it though. Watched a lot of youtube tutorials but gave up sculting my own head/face.

Will try my best to document and post as I progress with the sculpt.

A couple pics from the back:

@derex3592 I've never told anyone this before, but hey, nice Bussards! The colors look screen accurate.

@pengbuzz Your Sumo is looking good! Nice-n-chunky, in a deadly kinda way!

@Ignacio Ocamica That is looking good Ignacio. Are you sculpting that armor?

@Urashiman Your VF-9 rendering looks very accurate. Are you planning on printing the final version? - MT

 

Yes I am!! It's my first time scratchbuilding/sculpting a figure. It's my interpretation of a 1/60 DYRL? zentran (I'm doing it the same height as a 1/60 VF-1 v2.

Well, a couple years ago (more than a couple) I started sculpting the Mospeada Iigaa and Gosu, but the Captain also started sculpting the whole Inbit line And Sean can sculpt any subject while he is sleeping so I put them on hold.

Here is a crude mock up (I've done more progress since this pic)

Working on my 1/60 Zentran project:

After almost one yeat and a half I've requested Anime Export to ship my Strike Parts (paid my order June 2019). No postal service to my country yet, but found a forwarder via Miami.

They're packing my order now, so my Hikkie 1S will finally sport some armor.

Will ship my Focler 1S preorder from AmiAmi through the same forwarder. Can't wait any longer. I want my plastic fix now!!!

Now i would be really curious to know how much you guys have to pay for custom or if you have to pay it all...

Here in Argentina (South America) it's 50% custom taxes. You also have to include shipping to calculate customs.

it's most likely behind the sold out button. 

Hope Bandai delivers Ortega's Zaku, and it's not another vaporware annoucement.

I usually don't get too excited for OYW stuff but this is pretty cool.

Now where's the preorder button???

Nothing

So, I own the first issue DX 1J with the limited stand, and in order to get the GBP I need to get another 1J?

Bought the first issue white goggles 1/60 1J Yamato back in the day. Then had to get another 1J with the grey visor bundled with the GBP.

History repeats itself?

Yes, there are other great HMR lines, but it will be a crime if we don't complete the Macross Destroid line.

Excited by the 1D. I really want to see better pictures of the canopy. Is it properly lengthened or just slightly reshaped like what the Yamato 1/60 did.  If it’s like the Yamato then it’ll be an easy pass for me. Don’t need the stress of preorder madness for a half-assed solution.

Seems correctly lengthened to me.

I'm not feeling the proportions of this GBP.

Need to see more pictures. Don't like the tampo either.

I'm too used to the Yamato/Arcadia GBP.

Love the 1D!!!

I took a screengrab from de video that was posted. 

1D in all it's glory in the back.

Can't wait for proper pics!!!

I'm totally in for a 1D!!

In for the GBP too.

Awesome build and weathering!!!

All of them turned out great!!!!

Well I like to display one VF-1 with the inner details visible. But just one from each scale. And only in fighter mode.

So when I get my DX Strike Parts from AE, I'll pry the leg packs covers off and paint the fuel tanks.

What really bothers me is the "half engine" detail. I can't come up with any logical reason for that 

I have not recieved my parts yet from AE, but I was going to try to pry them open.

The prototype pics shiw detail inside.

Cool set up!!! @DYRL VF-1S

1/48 Bandai DX VF-1S Strike Hikaru

1/48 Bandai DX VF-1J Hikaru with GBP (armor not released yet)

1/60 Yamato VF-1J Hikaru with GBP

1/60 Yamato YF-21 Guld with Fast Packs

1/60 Yamato VF-11B Isamu with Fast Packs

1/60 Yamato VF-17S Gamlin

1/60 VF-4G Yamato

1/60 YF-19 Arcadia Isamu with Fast Packs

1/60 VF-0S Arcadia Roy Focker with Reactive Armor

1/60 SV-51 Arcadia Ivanov

I'm leaving out a lot. List is not in order of preference.

Very reminiscent of the Yamato ver 1 1/60 GBP.
