Bummer.....

Hey Guys, I figured before the other threads start going off topic, I would start one for the Macross Quarter from Macross Frontier. So far a few pictures have surfaced sparking alot of interest and alot of speculation that one might be in the works or just to mess with our heads. So with that being said, If Bandai were to put out a well detailed Macross Quarter. would you buy one? and what scale would you prefer. Like the WAVE SDF-1 in 1/5000, or do we get for real and have a 1/3000 like the old school SDF-1? Lets hear from ya!!

Say what you want, but that cockpit is way to cramped!! Transformation or budget purposes, its still to tight. Although I agree with you ruskiiVFaussie, Gonna have to wait & see if they make any final adjustments, I really hope they do. This and the VF-11B are the two I am really waiting too buy $$. And now we play the waiting game.......

Ishtar & Sylvie, Super HOT!!!!! Simple enough for ya?

Ok so basically these newer VF-0's will still be 1/60 scale, but will have new/redesigned Arms & shoulders correct?? Haven't been keeping up on this thread as you can see.

Still no updates, sneak previews???? Bummer.....

For now, keep it in the box, its definitely a collectors item. There is a new 1/60 scale version from Yamato in the works, but that may still be awhile from now. Til then, enjoy your VF-11B!!!!

Have a little faith my friend, stranger things have happened with Yamato so far. A VF-0D could easily be in the works!!!!!! As you can see I want one too!! I love the new Defender (cough, cough Radar-X....cough) was always one of my favorites, 4 big cannons, simple, raw, love it!! Bring on the Spartan next!!!!

Holy %#%@%!!~!, The Macross Quarter!!! That would beyond awesome, more pics, more pics!!

Not bad for Legos, Those are actually pretty cool lookin!!! Nice job!!

Why the VF-0D has not been built or released yet is beyond me. But I say make it!!! Even do some different color variations!! In the OVA there are Blue & grey paint schemes, maybe even do an old school TV series VF-1D color scheme?? And all 3 remaining Destroids. I'd say a 1/60 MAC II... But that would be dam big & dam expensive!!!

I don't think it would cost that much, You can still get a Miria 639 Power suit for about $100.00 offline or "ebay" sometimes even cheaper and that it a 1/60 scale toy!! Making the Enemy fighters & Pods in 1/60 shouldn't be too difficult, especially considering they DO NOT transform, just lots of moving parts, So that keeps the cost alot lower and if all plastic & the detail of Max & Miria's units, were in good shape!!

All Enemy, All Pods, fighters & power suits!!! TV series & DYRL!!! 1/5000 scale Zentradi battleships too!!! Same size as the WAVE SDF-1's.

That YF-21 is wicked!! If Guld had that fighter paint scheme, That X-9 Ghost would have run like hell!!!!

Just out of dumb luck while was at the hobby shop, they had small 3 oz. cans of Krylon's hobby paint/short cuts. Good stuff & cheaper than Tamiya or Testors spray paints!! Its called Antique bronze, but its identical to testors Jet exhaust color. Nice even coats!! As for the panel lining (Because I can not use an airbrush machine to save my life) I just outlined everything with thick sharpie black pens, and when the painting was done... Got the idea from here on MW, to go over the paint with a wipe down of watered down black paint, takes a while but works pretty good. A nice aged look to it. I've had a few free days from work, so once I get into a model, Its all or nothing!!!

Well this is the 1st one done. My new VF-0D in SDF TV series colors. I'll never be a pro model builder, but true what they that your next model is always your best!!! I am still trying local some 1/72 scale VF-2 Bounty Hunters decals for my VF-0B, so til then, this one is ready to fly!! Enjoy!!

Hey Jardann, Thanks for the good words!! Yeah nothing worse then when you pull the tape off and then you see those little excess paint spots that bleed through. But they're coming along nicely. I'll show some finished product pics later today or tomorrow!!

Helps to have a few days off to work on your new kits!!! A few update shots, So far they are lookin good!! A little touch up here & there, then its decal time!!

Just got my new VF-0B & VF-0D Phoenix's in today from HLJ.com and I couldn't wait to get started on them. None of the pieces are actually glued together, just primered & the parts resting in place right now. I never realized that the lower legs of the VF-0D are a little different from the others 0's. This will be 1 of 2 VF-0B's I'll be working on, got lucky off ebay the other night!! As far as color schemes go, I'm thinking of staying away from the std color schemes & trying something a bit more interesting!! So very much a WIP for now, but more to come as they progress!!

I used to have the VE-1 & Max's SD valk's, but got lost over the years. They are fun little kits to have.....Wish I still had them.

Its the next Model on my wish list!!! Great review & the pictures/poses are great!

Mikimoto.... We should live so long!!!

I was pushing 7 years old when Macross released!!! And it just gets better & better over time!!!

Hi everyone, well it comes to making a simple Hasegawa or Bandai model kit, I can do pretty well. However when it comes to something custom and from the ground up, scratch building is not my specialty. I have a few Macross Items I would like to have made custom, If you know how to mold parts, make them from scratch (Resin, Silicone, polystyrene, vacuum forming or fiberglass). Please email me, I'd like to talk to you and see if we can work something out.
