  1. i'd like to see them start with a 2-foot tall Frontier & Galaxy, then scale the Quarter accordingly.

    and have a separate or non-scale 2-foot tall Quarter.

    and if they're really going in that direction, then...

    i demand they make a MACROSS !!! DYRL/TV version.

    if they want our money, that's a sure-fire way to get it all.

    come to think of it... they could actually make a Global too. or start with a Global, then swindle us with "Macross re-color"

    ...as long as it's not chunky, has small hands, self-destructing shoulders, 2 left or right cannon hinges, very dark visors, caster landing gears, & low-hanging crotch section :lol:

    Well said!!! MACROSS DYRL/TV version, Battle Frontier & Galaxy then a properly scale sized Macross Quarter, works for me. 2ft Tall, its a ambitious but they could do it, for what these toys can cost, I'd rather pay more & get my bang for the buck. More metal & alloy parts. To much breakage lately, time to go old school!!

  2. 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!! B))

  3. 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....... :unsure:

  4. I recently picked one of these up at a local toy-fair... haven't had a chance to tinker with it yet but just wanted to know if there were any issues with these that I should know about given Yamato's sometimes dodgy QC...

    This thing to be precise...

    Cheers B))

    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!!!! :rolleyes:

  5. Be nice if it was refferring to the VF-0D somehow but i don't want to get my hopes up. :(

    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!!!! :)

  6. 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?? :unsure:

    And all 3 remaining Destroids. I'd say a 1/60 MAC II... But that would be dam big & dam expensive!!!

  7. At 1/60 scale? Too big. Would cost about 300$ per figure, most likely.

    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!!

  8. Amazingly quick build up there 505th! The colors look great, and the panel lines look just right too.

    What color did you use for the feet/thrusters? It looks simple but effective.

    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!!! :D

  9. 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!!

  10. Those are looking cool! Did you just do a freehand design for the wings of the 0B? I really like that random, sharp edged look to the colors.

    Speaking of touch-ups, don't you just hate it when you get those little spots that pop out right along an otherwise nice, crisp straight edge? <_< That always frustrates me to no end. Oh well, you'll have those fixed up in no time I'm sure.

    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!! ;)

  11. 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!! B))

  13. I was thinking the same thing. The CGI mecha looks slick but I can't see how they could make THAT big a difference between the TV series and the movie; although Kawamori probably wouldn't really care anyway. I wonder if he could get

    Mikimoto to do the character re-designs for the movie? ^_^

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