[Fly4victory]

PLEASE HELP

There was a fan art poster with orthographic views of the VF-2SS: top, side, etc.

I thought I had saved it on a different computer but I didn't and I cannot find the image. If you have it please post a copy here or provide a link to the website.

Thanks.

Utiliser un couteau de passe-temps et fractionner les ailes (Sépare A-1) au centre.

Utiliser un dossier et un sable en bas la plaque verrouillant au contour de l'aile.

Utiliser styrene de feuille 0,08 et fabriquer la partie pour insérer dans chaque aile. La coupure rugueuse les parties grandes et alors dossier pour ajuster.

Une fois ajusté, coller les parties fabriquées dans chaque aile.

Quand la colle est sèche, remplir et sabler pour égaler le contour de l'aile.

Utiliser époxy et installer aimants de 3 mm sur les ailes et le sable.

Utiliser époxy et installer aimants de 3 mm sur le fuselage. Ceci est où les ailes attacheront et tourneront.

Il n'y a pas de mécanisme. Tout est fait avec les aimants.

Le sac à dos se déplace et est détachable. Il y a trois sacs à dos séparés. Le sac à dos vert SAP, le sac à dos blanc non-SAP, et le sac à dos d’avion de combat blanc. Les premiers deux montent avec les aimants. Le tiers, dont vous avez besoin de fabriquer, cliquete à sa place.

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Edit: Added photos.

Awesome custom! Was it this one?

[Fly4victory]

Grape Tang and Frosted Flakes that was the real breakfast of champions. Sorry, Childhood memory.

GT you are the greatest. Thanks. It won't get lost this time.

Valkyrie addict, don't forget to tune back in after the weekend to see the non-SAP version. After your VF-11 I will really need to turn up the wow factor.

Grape Tang and Frosted Flakes that was the real breakfast of champions. Sorry, Childhood memory.

GT you are the greatest. Thanks. It won't get lost this time.

LOL! I don't think I've tried that breakfast combination yet!

We should thank HelloHikaru & JediKnight for the poster.

Keep up the great work!

[type j9]

Thank for the paint guide Fly4victory, it's very helpfull

[Fly4victory]

Now that the information is public. I want to see squadrons of VF-2SS.

I have got to feel it. More Cow Bells! erh.. VF-2SS

[Fly4victory]

Folded for storage.

[Fly4victory]

[Fly4victory]

Half GERWALK

[Fly4victory]

GERWALK.

[Fly4victory]

Mid Transformation.

[Fly4victory]

Battroid.

[Fly4victory]

Few more battroid.

[Skypoet]

This Valk is Absolutely BADASS!!!!!

Few more battroid.

[Fly4victory]

Skypoet, Gald that you like it. Nice VF-1A MAX that you have in your avatar.

Thanks to everyone that have viewed this thread and provided inspiration during the build.

I am truly amazed that there have been over 3,500 views in a month and a half.

Do finally have the resin kit from Samurai-Monkey to build the non-SAP battroid but it was fun doing an all mode variable without the resin parts.

Now, just wish I had the second model that was sacrificed for the parts since it is out of stock at HLJ. Guess it was a limited reissue.

C'est la vie. I still have two more in the box.

[Valkyrie addict]

outstanding, you really nail it!! Bandai could learn a thing or two from you!

hope to see your next project soon!

[HWR MKII]

Excellent and very clean work. Lets see what else you can do .

[PetarB]

I want to see squadrons of VF-2SS.

I've got one in the works. It's a bit bigger than yours though...!

Anway, an epic journey for you, and thanks for posting up all the pics. Nicely done.

[ComicKaze]

As the MW resident VF-2SS supernerd (I have tons of pics that I was saving for my VF2SS website that never made it there because I stopped working on it 5 years ago haha).

For comparison's sake, here are some pictures of garage kits and b-club option parts that have the proper engine sizes. It's too bad the Bandai model is so old and poorly designed.

That last pic of the fighter mode with the red line is WM Chengs build of the 1/72 resin kit. He made it so the parts are interchangeable.

[Fly4victory]

ComicKaze, the first transformation series is great. The Gerwalk roll/transformation is like Hikaru's VF-1J.

But WM Chengs builds are always the high water mark.

[Fly4victory]

Lets see what else you can do .

Tough crowd! My fingers have yet to heal.

Next work is not Macross so the work in progress will be on Samurai Monkey:

http://www.samurai-monkey.com/boardz/viewt...p?p=15257#15257

I will post a few key picks on the workbench tread.

Read this thread and many others on MW with avid interest (fantastic reference resource), the VF2SS has to be one of the cleanest looking VFs out there. This build is fantastic and very inspirational thanks Fly

With the excellent help of Getter 1 I am attempting to build this beauty in Card at approx 1/33rd scale have a look on

http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=161015

Its not plastic, but when I eventually get off my backside and push it out on the forum there, I am sure some one will convert it. (btw it can be made in any of the 3 modes but isn't quite transformable)

Ty Fly and yes Cheng's stuff is jaw dropping.

The problem with Zealot forums is that you can only see the pics if subscribed. Could you post some pictures directly to this forums?. Cool things come out from that site but most of us don't want to sign in just to see a few pics hre and there ...
