OK
I was bored, so I decided I just couldn't wait for pics of the colored YF-19 to be released, so I quickly COREL'ed the picture that David Hingtgen posted.
Here's a comparison
I'm such a geek that I had fun tainge David's old picture, and my painted one, and just flipping back and forth... and I bet some of you are geeky enough to do that too.

Here's a pic of my 1/60 Battroid WITHOUT the squashed face.
I learned something when doing this simple custom job. The minor addition I put on his jaw makes it so that his head can't rotate 180 degrees during transformation. I have to actually unscrew the head to raise it up enough to turn it around. This leads me to believe that the Yamato VF-1S Squishy head was purely to aid transformation. The 1J heads all extended necks enough to clear for raotation.

Here you go admitidly this one has a missing arm and the funny back pack that some of them had but here you go, I really couldnt be bothered to get my Roy one down from where it is glued.
Wow, that brings back memories. When i was a kid and knew of Roboteh and not Macross, i had one of those that I don't even remember where i got it from... a friend or someone, but you won't believe the fun I had with that ugly piece of crap.
Yamato has taken Macross a long way1

I really loved my 1/60 in battroid and fighter, but ever since this post I started noticing his squashed head more and more.
So I decided to putty his face and give him cosmetic jaw surgery.
Thanks macrossworld, for giving my wife more examples of how I'm like the 40 Yr. Old Virgin.

Thanks Graham
That's exactly what i was looking for. I have the 1/65 and the 1/72 already, but am considering doing this one too. Hopefully Yamato will one day give me reason to spend more money on VF-17s.
Until then, I'll continue building

Great thread
It seems 1/60 fighter, 1/48 gerwalk and 1/60 battroid is a pretty common answer amongst those who own both toys, and I totally agree, with respect to proportions.
There also seems to be a lot of 1/48, 1/48 and 1/48 from people too, but their answer seems to be based on detail and engineering rather than proportions
...so it really depends on what you're after (proportions or detail) and how thick your wallet is.

The best thing we can all do is sell off all our non-macross toys, and spend our cash only on Yamato goodness.
This will maxamize Yamato's production numbers, and then we'll all be happy and broke.
Mwahahaha! I wait for the VF-0A!
I have resisted temptation!Your pitchforks can do nothing but pierce my skin, muscle, and internal organs, causing me fleshwounds! And I've survived a fireball from my own cooking in the kitchen, so your torches will feel only kind of warm to me!
Damn, the VF-0S looks like a beaut though...
-
I looked in the macrossworld model section and the only pics I can find of the completed 1/100 model from Wave is so small.
Does anyone have any other pics of this guy completed?
-
You know what would be an interesting stat?
The correlation between how much we spend on Macross and whether we are single or not. Then again, our income probably determines how much we spend, so we would have to use our expenditure as a percentage of our income?
The results may be scary, so maybe we shouldn't do that poll.
-
Thanks GutsAndCasca,
my VF-17 is the cheap 1/65 scale bandai toy, but i primered him and painted him. The other VF-17 is a 1/72 scale model by Wave.
-
Here's all my Mac stuff except for my 1/60 scale VF-1 collection
-
I got lazy, here he is in plain black but with a nice finish. I might still weather him. In hindsight I think I should've done some camo.
-
I've finally decided to paint my konig monster, but want some suggestions on which way to go (if you're bored). I liked the vf-17 stealth colors, but am also thinking just black and grey.
What do you think? Do you have any other suggestions?
-
Just in case anyone is interested, I decided to sell a few of the items in the pictures:
http://search.ebay.ca/_W0QQsassZbriareosQQ...1QQfsooZ1QQrdZ0?
It's weird you know. She was right there, we were having a good time, and then after the alrm clock rang she just dissappeared.

Well, Ive decided to sell some macross items, including some custom jobs of stealth fighters and monsters!
http://search.ebay.ca/_W0QQsassZbriareosQQ...1QQfsooZ1QQrdZ0? or just do a seller search for "briareos"
Also, I have bandai vf-17s and VF-11 1:144 scale battroids half done (but the 17 has no fists) and parts to complete a nichimo battle pod, 1/200 scale. I'd be willing to trade them for:
-maisto diecast mig fulcrum + F-14 tomcat
-if no one has these, then you can make a suggestion on other little cheap macross junk to trade off for.
they're nothing special, but nice for modellers to add to their armies

We all know 1st impressions are huge, but it is so very true when we talk about our macross habits. If you know your friends for a while, and then they see your collection they may be a little perplexed, but then just shrug it off as just being interesting.
If you don't know them super well, like many coworkers or new friends or people you don't see often, the'll just assume you're a big weirdo. I explained this to my wife using the analogy:
If the first time we ever meet, and we were in a room together and I let out a big fart, You would probably be so grossed out you would never talk to me and we would never get married. But now, if I did the same you just get mildly annoyed but it still think I'm a catch.
...sorry, I really don't mean to equate Macross to farting, but you get my point.
And Sebastian, I think I'm like most of us when I say my toy habit does not match my social life either. And I also have thinned my collection to one smalll bookshelf covered in glass confined to the den, since we live in small apartment. It's hard to sell stuff off, but once you do you realize how nice the ones you keep actually are.
-
None of my friends collect this stuff, and they all think it's cool I have such a weird hobby, but truly don't understand it. Only my engineer friend appreciates the new CAD aided Yamato and Takara toys.
My wife just puts up with it as long as they stay nicely presented in my glass-doored bookshelves in the den. She doesn't appreciate when they "escape" to other rooms in the apartment.
I work with a national sports team, and I've never announced my weird hobby to them although one day one of the guys googled me and found my old custom Simpsons action figures and found me out. no big deal.
If you can keep your nerdy side in check with your well-adjusted cool side than it really shouldn't phase people (except those people robomatt was talking about that i don't respect either). And let's face it, some of us at macross world probably exude dorkiness so showing people our weird hobby would just go to confirm their already formed opinion.

I just finished a few model kits, which leaves me with 3 different versions of 2 of my favorite designs. I might decide to sell 2 of each of these on ebay, since i really only need one (according to my wife) but I'll let you know if I do that in the for sale section.
Destroid Monsters:
One is the 1:200 IMAI model (pain in the @$$ to build, as many of the pegs and lines don't fit or even line up, and the plastic is lighter than most models, but is my favorite for the overall sculpt)
The mid-sized one is a custom modification of the diecast metal monster. Not the best sculpt, but it's stockiness has grown on me, and i love the weight of diecast toys.
The last is a Tomy version, same sculpt as the 1:200 one, but all PVC
VF-17s:
The first is a Bandai 1/65 scale that I airbrushed. In reality it is more black looking than blue, but the camera flash really makes it look lighter.
The second is a 1/144 bandai set.
The last one is the 1/72 scale Wave model I bought from xstoys. I included 3 pictures of this one so you can see how different it looks without the flash.
Misc:
A VF-0S with panel lines (looks way better IMO).
I watched the worst, albeit Mac Plus inspired, Stealth and decided to play with my lego (jeez, I'm 30 years old believe it or not)
And she's just perfect!
-
I recently bought the complete Shoji Design Works in Japan, and it includes all his stuff from macross, to aquarion, to cyber formula to armored core.
I'm wondering if his other book, Macross Design Works, includes the macross zero and macross plus stuff too, or is it an older book?
thanks for your help

i might be able to help you, but i need a week to see what pans out. they're pretty small pieces so i wouldn't even know what to charge. Do you have any little parts to trade?
I'm looking for 144 stealth fighter, and then broken bits of 144 or 72 scale stuff

does anyone have the following kit for sale:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1
and I would also like:
resin kits of the 17, 19, and 21 robot museum,
1/144 stealth (fighter mode)
doyusha 19 and 21
kaiyodo battlepods
yamato 1/60 broken parts
and i like to customize, so does anyone have any broken macross toys for cheap?
-
If this is for real, I will have to sell most of my non-macross stuff, just to afford all the Yamato goodness (could someone who reads japanese please help = "taskete! Donata ka ego o yomimas ka?")
I just started working on my 1:72 scale battroid collection, with my hasegawa 0S, 1S, wave 17d and yamato 21. Oh well, I really don't think my displeasure outweighs my excitement.
-
great job on some good looking kits!
I'm stockpiling some hasegawa 72 scale kits, since this is the scale I can get most of the macross valkyries in, be it toys or models. I did a vinyl model of the VF-17, and I'm so glad to hear you said the ZERO kits were easy, cause the Wave ones were a beeyach.
And, I'm glad to see another fan who just builds stuff and paints stuff in color schemes that he likes, and not necessarily what was observed briefly in episode 17 of the original series.
Please post only the best completed battroid model pics
in Model kits
Posted
I saw a wicked pic of a VF-1S but have since lost it, but then i thought i want to see all the well done battroid models out there to inspire me. Wave, Bandai, Hasegawa, whatever...
