Tape off! Tape off! tape off!!!

I see we went from the Macross Quarter to to old OVA series Ariel which I was never able to get into.

But since the idea that some of the Macross fleet ships will be in the works, (Bandai??) I found a couple of other interesting ships. One is of course the Macross Galaxy, the other is sketch of Battle 13, I like this one. Looks very mean & destructive!!

The first color is on, cured, and has been masked in preparation for the succeeding coats.

I'm going with a random, hard-edged geomoettric pattern reminiscent of Flankers and Viggens.

Color number two has been added, with masking to be done tomorrow.

Comments and criticisms welcomed, as always.

Hey Kenny. No criticisms here, can't wait to see your VF-22 when its all finished!! Looks awesome so far!!

That is going to be one huge kit when its all finished!! Keep us posted with updates!!

Can not wait to see this Daedalus when its all finished!!! An amazing work of art so far!!!

Hey Hikuro, Just finished watching your dubbed version of Macross DYRL, If you were near by I'd by ya a beer and congratulate you!! You and your cast did an amazing job, especially the girls who did Misa and Minmay!!

Congratulations to you and your cast!!

P.S. thanks for posting on Youtube!!

No release schedule for the other VF's yet

That's cool, just have to wait till next year!! Thanks bro!!

Haven't been keeping up on this thread as much, but I'm guessing the Macross Frontier series 1/100's are coming out 1st...? Any time time lines at all for the other designs, namely the VF-2SS or VF-0's? These VF-25's are looking really good!!

Sorry if this question has been asked to much, was just curious.

1/48's !! The size, proportion, ease of transformation, landing gear!! Love it, my only complaint ever were the hands they came with, but thats an easy fix. I would voted for the 1/60 VF-0 Phoenix, but with the QC issues making it a train wreck and a risk for the money I had to by pass it, still one of my favorite designs though.

Also as noted by those who mentioned the VF-0 does transform like it does in the OVA, with the issues Yamato had with the arms, can you imagine them using those slim swing bars for the legs, could have been the 1/72 VF-11 all over again!!

Give it a few hours or a day, sometimes megaupload just isn't nice seeing how all the files but that one aren't working.

I'd probably ask Boinger if he's going to upload them. He generally takes care of that since he was kind enough to upload Macross Zero episode 1 to Rapidshare.

Or wait another day, I'll have them all up on youtube but without subtitles.

hey Hikuro. If you could put this on Youtube that would be super awesome, really want to see this completed masterpiece of yours!! Take care man!!

Amazing how you built that all from scratch, you have some serious talent there!! Keep us posted on your project, cant wait to see the finished project!!

Excellent job!!! Has that natural weathered look, not over done!!

I completely forgot about the Monster- but yeah - it's an obvious candidate.

Speaking of which... I STILL haven't gotten Yamato's Koening Monster and notice that not many people seem to have it, or if they do, they're not falling over one another to show it off...

Maybe Bandai will make one for Frontier?

Pete

You forgot the Monster??? Ok we forgive you!! get one, there awesome!!!

Would be awesome if they made a 1/60 Askua II and call it even, That way you could have a Koning Monster fire a few rounds at a giant Birdman!! while having the ultimate display piece for all your Valk's!!

Oh wait, that's only in my dreams..... happy thoughts.

All it takes is just one valk.....and then the rest is history!!!

Isn't that the truth!!!

1/1 VF-1S pls @_@ in my garden, fully operational...

Don't we all wish that one time or another!!!

If they make anymore Macross Zero toys, let it be a VF-0D 1/60 I really want this one!! But this time around with Arms and shoulders that are shatter proof!! You wonder if all the previous QC issues scared enough people off from buying Zero toys, That Yamato might be concerned of doing any more major releases??

Or maybe they are back at the drawing board making improvements so that a OD and Reactive Armor are possible without any major flaws this time.

Just a quick side question, though it never appears in the Series, there is a VF-0B 2-seater made by Hasegawa, If they had plans for that one, any takers??

yes, i know it won't end just on this one or strike parts only

This is one reason to get the Strike/Super armor parts, Your Hikaru VF-1S will look even more bad ass than it is now!!A Roy Focker VF-1S or Stealth VF-1J would be a great choice. Super sturdy and awesome looking!!! Keep us up to date on your collection!!

Three great scenes that come to mind!!

1) Max & Millia in SDFM & DYRL.

2) Guld and Isamu in the Mac+ movie version.

3) Hikaru Ichijo taking on the recon ship in SDFM, episode Miss Macross. Missiles, guns, particle beam cannons, sonic ball busters, sharp sticks!! He used the state of the bad ass arts on the 3 spy's and kicked there asses!!

Yeah I know he wrecked his VF-1J, but he still gets the girls!!!

I see that my original posting went from IF THEY make it, too now its official. I'm away for a few days and good news happens, I like that!!

Remember, remember the 5th of November......

Quote from: OmegaD3k

The 1/48, to me, is the new chunky monkey. XD

Selling all my old 1/48 valks and replacing them with the superior 1/60 counterparts.

The 1/48's are now being regarded as "The new Chunky Monkey" ??? I think my little friend in picture has an opinion...

We've got pics of Galaxy now:

Genius!! Battle frontier or the Galaxy. Both are awesome!!!

I'd rather see a Green TV series version 1st before I buy another one, But as to these re-releases, are there no pilots at all this time, Miria or Max?

I was browsing around looking for any good clear pictures of the Macross Quarter and Battle Frontier, Sorry to say that images of the Galaxy are few, far and between. But these pictures are awesome and gives some real clear detail as to how they look. 1/3000 scale would work well for me!!! Enjoy!!
