Graham Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I really hate the nose sculpt of the SHE VF-11B, it's too big and bulbous. The head laser is al wrong as well. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 We had a discussion a while back about how best to make an integral cockpit armor for the VF-11, I think the concensous was to put in the nose and depress the cockpit to pull it out.

Knight26 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) Oops the thread was on Macross Nexus, see here: http://forums.macrossnexus.com/index.php?showtopic=123 And this was the eventual concept that sumdumgai and Ghost Ryder drew up for how to make the cockpit armor: http://forums.macrossnexus.com/index.php?a...=post&id=35 Edited November 28, 2006 by Knight26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiotheforsaken Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 now that you mention it, the nose is kinda fugly on it. just waiting, and hoping yamato does a bang up job on the 11 (if they are doing one of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Thank you Graham!!!!!!!! I've always said that about the SHE VF-11. You where the only person that ever seemed to agree with me. It's too much like a "duck bill" when it should be more angular like a birds "beek." That was one area that I thought the Yamato 11 really did well.

VFTF1 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Ho hum... just thought I'd throw my VF-11B pic up... obviously NOT the upcoming 1/60 ... this is the old one... and mine is "special" because its' leg fell off as soon as I took it out of the box (managed to repair the leg using very...err...barbaric yet effective methods) ... here she is VFTF1 (who apparently likes taking pictures and throwing them up on the forum!...)

Briareos Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) Ho hum... just thought I'd throw my VF-11B pic up... obviously NOT the upcoming 1/60 I'm not sure if you were misled or just joking. Well most likely joking, hence the smilely. Still I just want to clarify that there is no offical news of a 1/60 VF-11. Just wild speculation of a hopeful trend of upcoming valks by fans. edit: sp and grammer Edited December 6, 2006 by Briareos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice VF-11 shots. Seems to me I've seen one of them before. Your not Pete from "The Hub" forum are you? Karl (Legios from The HUb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awacs Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Ho hum... just thought I'd throw my VF-11B pic up... obviously NOT the upcoming 1/60 . Ah, your a man who lives in hope a little like myself. A 1/60th VF-11 would be something I'd want to see even before a -22. There's just something about the "workhorse" nature of the -11 that makes it appeal to me a lot. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Reminds me of a duck's bill every time i look at it now. There was a kitbash of a reconnaissance VF-1 that was like that, and that was as bad looking as Katie Holmes, very much like a platypus. That was in the magazine section, I forgot which one now.

Aegis! Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 If they ever release the VF-11 I think it will be one of the best toys ever produced by Yamato, why ? well, mostly because of all three 1/72 toys it was the best sculpted one, and its transformation process is a lot simplier than the other 2 YF valks. The Vf-11 has one of the sexiest designs ever so I´m hoping they´ll use both the M+ and VF-X2 licenses and release the GBP variant as well - best GBP add-on EVER-. here´s hoping they actually build the heatshield within the toy isntead of a lame ¨cut-out and paste it yourselfe¨ plastic thingy.

jenius Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I think, if they did it right, the VF-11 also has the potential to be the most poseable Valk toy ever. I would love that... super cool bayonet thrusting poses. NICE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I really hope Yamato makes a VF-11, and if they do it's done before the YF-21. I just really like the design. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nied Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 The VF-11 is roughly the same size as the VF-1. If they made 1/60 version it'd be midget next to the new YF-19. They should make it a 1/48. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nied Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Ok, here's a quick rendition of the VFX-2 scheme. Now, a "real" VFX-2 VF-11 I think would incorporate all the normal VF-11 markings, like the stripes on the legs and ventral fins, which every other VF-11 has, but doesn't seem to be in the VFX version. So if you added black and yellow to the legs and ventral fins, you'd have a very cool VF-11---maybe continue the striping pattern on the rudder. Also, the wingtips are black and yellow, but it's hard to see. Finally---I used my "modified tailfin" version of the VF-11---the "official" sideview just does NOT fit Kawamori's drawings nor the anime', and the tailfin pattern from VFX won't fit at all---the VFX model is also similar to how I drew it. IIRC they just re-used a scheme that originally appeared in TIAS: M+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanedaestes Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 all this talk about the SHE heatshield design does anyone have any diagrams or anything showing how the SHE model works their heatshield? Graham maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Count me in, I dont like how the SHE VF-11 looks like. I am happy to see that there are a lot of VF-11 fans. If it wasnt for this valkyrie I would of never taken interest into Macross Plus and probably never found out about the real Macross and still be stuck on Robotech. VF-1 will be a classic but the VF-11 is my all time favorite valkyrie. I hope a better version comes out. I hope also it comes with many different FAST PACKS. The atmospheric ones kick ass like in Operation Stargazer (M7 Ep 44). The 19's and 11's looked really nice with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolf Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Let's just hope it comes with the fast pack if they release it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 If it makes it look better, I'm for a VF-11 with exchangeable canopy/heat-shield. Especially if it's a 1/60 VF-11. There are at least three color varients that Yamato could do: standard, deep space, and Ravens. And if they were to get the rights to M3... Plus they could make the fulll armor for the VF-11. Did I mention the VF-11 is one of my all time favorites? They just need to develop a transformation process without those god awful slider bars...

Dante74 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 VF-11B, sexiest Valk evaaaaaahh!!! If Yamato make it, I'll get four, one for each mode, and one more if they release the Armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
