Knight26 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Let's see what advice we can offer this guy, will probably need to sign up for a joe customs account though. http://www.joecustoms.com/board/showthread.php?tid=36033 He's off to a good start but still needs to do some serious work, but I think some of the expert modellers and customizers here might be able to lend him some advice.

robodog562000 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Looks like a nice project. If he is able to scale the dimensions and dynamics correctly that thing will look way better than the matchbox version. I've been working on a similar custom myself. You should put this in the how to cusomize section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Interesting project. But why bother trying to fix up a piece of crap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robodog562000 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 You have to give the guy credit for trying to turn a peice of crap into a Valkyrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel bonnet Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Knight26, First off thank`s for "pushing me" to post the project here mate Also thank`s for this post too I`m hoping this will indeed give me a sleeker Joe scaled VF1 I`ve actually posted the WIP thread over here now in the Customizing section Thank`s Robodog (Killi that you???), I`m really looking forward to this all coming together & it will indeed be a better aircraft than the MB/HG VF1 we actually got. wolfx, Thank`s mate & I do understand where your coming from it`s NOT the best BUT it`s something to work with Oh One thing I`ve heard IF it`s true & It`s a BIG If at present. Apparently Takara is bringing out some Robotech/Macross TRANSFORMABLE vehicles. A Garland bike with rider (I presume) & also a Veritech Fighter (I have NO idea which type,at a guess I`d say Alpha). After seeing the Scope Dog they released well we could truely be moving finally into a New Age of Wonderfull Macross/Robotech?Mospeada 1/18th Goodies Again Thank`s Knight Ja Steel Bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 So, this fella is merging a Matchbox Veritech with a GI Joe Jet to create a more sleek and properly proportioned transformable Valkyrie? Interesting, but why not just purchase a Yamato 1/48 scale Valkyrie (like the picture he has posted)...or is the point of the project to create a fighter to fit GI Joe sized action figures?

steel bonnet Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Mr march. I`m combining Both pieces to give me the FIGHTER version more sleeker & YES it`s for 1/18th scale figures (4" figures). I used to have the smaller triple changers but now I try & keep it all 1/18th scale Just wish more new material would emerge at 1/18th Ja Steel Bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
