25th Anniversary 1/48 VF-1S Yamato For Sale or Trade
Sharon Intel posted a topic in For Sale & Trade
Hi Everyone, Firstly, I have never sold, purchased or traded anything from MW before so please feel free to ask me any and all questions. Long story short, my better half saw me looking at the Macross 25th Anniversary Yamato 1/48 Scale and purchased it as a gift unbeknownst that I had purchased it for myself as well. Now I'd prefer to get it into one of your collections. Looking at Ebay completed listings I'm asking for $160 shipped and insured. Conversly I'd like to offer it up for trade. Looking for options: 1)A discount off your price of (long shot dream valk) Yamato 1/60 VF-11B 2)Both of the Yamato 1/72 YF-19 & YF-21, boxed, a straight trade given average price total is about $160 3)Whatever else you'd offer, I'm partial to Macross Plus and Zero I'm happy to consider all offers. PM me if interested & thanks! -

We will certainly be there. Particularly looking forward to Air Combat in Anime clips/scenes. A side note, I'm looking to bring my unopened copy of the amazon Cowboy Bebop blu-ray to the swap meet. I posted a pic on the swap meet forum http://forums.animeboston.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=19053 and got some responses but nothing really caught my eye. Anybody here interested? A bucket list item of mine is a Yamato 1/60 VF-11, I'd hand over Bebop plus cash for that. One week to go! -
Awesome work man. The raised effect with beveled edges on the helmet visor is spot on. I know the feeling of not being 100% accurate, the artist is their own harshest critic. People are going to get a kick out of it and thats the point. from Macross the room it looks pretty good. Would like to be at the convention to get a pic.

I cut this to size with a dremel http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00435MT16/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Then used this to coat http://www.amazon.com/Transparent-Candy-Green-Enamel-Paint/dp/B004R6Z9YA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426782324&sr=8-1&keywords=testors+candy+green

Here is the helmet. Went with the "home depot" orange. It'll stand out a bit more when finished.

From the album: Macross Plus
Just about done, just need to add some detail work. -

thanks for the options & info. Understood that it's a safety precaution, I'll go with a sharp orange, looks good with the black, white, blue color scheme. Now I can go jogging at night in the Dyson flight suit.

I'd like to throw out a question: The Shoulder pads, shoes and helmet Dyson wears has a color that seems to change a bit depending. Would you consider it more of a yellow, orange or mix? Some reference pics https://www.google.com/search?q=isamu+dyson&safe=off&rlz=1C1ASUC_enUS617US617&espv=2&biw=1858&bih=952&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=tdAFVYu1KMaWgwS2p4LACQ&ved=0CCQQsAQ&dpr=1

Congrats! Looks like the kaiju vs mecha theme will have some quality mecha content! Always bet on mecha! I'd like to see that paint job! Sounds badass! Was looking forward to watching them play the Penguins today but got stuck with a long work day. I'll stream the broadcast Go B's! Not trying to start a fire here but has anyone seen this? http://animeboston.com/news/article/505 -

Great to see Macross will be featured in a few panels this year. Depending on schedules (chaos reigns during the con) I'd like to hit up Heavy Metal, Air Combat and RotV. renegadeleader1, what's Bruinsguy beargguy? david, anime con birthday weekend, go for it. Sunday is kinda beat, the meat of the con is Friday and Saturday, not that it would not be fun but bang for the buck, i recommend Saturday. -

Just saw an update, Richard Epcar will be attending AB '15. Awesome! Would bringing the 1/60 Yamato YF-21 be too much? -
Hello MW, Will anyone be attending this year? I'll be going all 3 days. Let's hope the snow will be gone by then....

I was blown away by this guys VF-1S, had to get a pic. The helmet ended up looking rederpulose due to proportions, oh well. Good times any way. -
I know I could have found it on eBay for the cheap and easy fix but there is somwthing so good about finding Vol. 1 in an old bargain bin. After buying Vol. 2-4 at AB '05 I waited and searched for 3 years to find this!! hence the face.

Added because how could it NOT be there. -

They stayed in place with threaded fishing line. The needle goes right through the foam :-) Gathered all the exterior fibers to an end point under the green gem. The light made it all the way, end to end. Finished with a laquer spray for glossy looks. -
From the album: me & macross plus
I removed the fibers and gathered them together within the interior dome, dremmel all the way. Within the foam housing inside the helmet I put 2 bicycle lights that offered "strobe" "blink" and "steady" settings. Alternate the setting for Bowmans "freak out" phase -

All done and waiting for fiber optic 4th of July wands to arrive from China. -

A direct view of the styrofoam with a stencil I made. Traced it with an exacto knife and used a dremmel to carve out the grooves. -

Careful now, ease off the tape and hope the edges look ok. They didn't so I used white electrical tape and cut it into thin strips in order to clean up the edges. -

Fitsr coat of glossy black spraypaint. Ended up doing about a dozen coats over a weeks time. -
From the album: me & macross plus
First paint, many layers of white spraypaint primer with painters tape to define the pattern. -

Helmet with the front plastic cut off to reveal the Styrofoam. -

Richard Epcar getting bothered. It was really great to attend his panel and hear his war stories. He has my victory Macross Plus VHS in his left hand. Now Bryan Cranston needs to show up & get all Isamu
