PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Hey guys, I've started this project a while back, but was unable to finish due to college. Since I'm done with college I've picked the project back up and made some progress on it. If the final version turns out well and depending on demand I may cast them (for a very reasonable price)... The current wip version (shown) attaches to the canopy via friction and holds fairly well (upside down, side ways, and even through shaking). Comments/feedback are welcome.

Jasonc Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I'll definitely get a few if the set is recast when done. Thanks, and great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leading edge Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) im in thats the detail that the vf 22s needs to be perfect that canopy looks good and it's great to see you pushing ahead these projects can get a little discourging sometimes. I love it do you have a website to check out more of your work possible tutorial on the forums? Edited May 29, 2010 by leading edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hey guys, Progress as promised. I know the color isn't right, but it was the only grey I had in a spray can (Haze Grey). Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 The project was put on a hiatus due to a extremely personal life altering issue (from the months of July-August) and I know this thread/topic is probably dead, but I'll still be looking/aiming to complete this project by the end of this month. I've started the mold creation process this weekend and I probably won't be casting as many canopy covers as anticipated (I guess the production will be based off demand). I'll keep you guys posted.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Still in for one Psych, maybe two if the price ani't steep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Great to hear this isn't a dead project (although, it seemed so close to done, don't know how it would have been). I'm still in for 2 or 3 depending on price. Thanks for the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon14141 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi, add me in for 3 also, depending of price as soon you're able to give us an estimated price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Is it pretty much the same color for all 3 VF-22 variants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claude grant Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 According to Sketchley's source, http://www.macross2.net/m3/macross7/macross7-index.html, yeah, pretty much. Still down for 3 if the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Hey everyone... A possible ballpark range for the price of the canopies will be $8~10 (not final, I haven't included the man hours and all the expenses). The actual colors for the canopies on the Yamato VF-22S M&M are more bluish while Gamlin's is more grey. I almost have the color for Gamlin's canopy as a match, maybe just a tad lighter than what it should be. For some reason Yamato's coloring/paint for the canopy seems to have a hint of brown/tan in it? Whatever the case I don't think I'm going to throw brown/tan in it. I'll have to cast up some canopies for M&M in the blue-ish grey for you all to see and I'll have pics of Gamlin's coming up real soon.

jorawar_b Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I talked to PsYcHoDyNaMiX about maybe getting a clear canopy made, he said he might look into it if there is enough demand, so speak up guys if you might be interested.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I'd rather a clear canopy then i can paint it as i so desire, i'm only using it for the 21 anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hmm... I hope there isn't any misunderstanding, but just to clarify that this thread is for the canopy covers (battroid mode) for the VF-22S and not the actual canopies or canopy mod/recasts fitted for the YF-21. Generally the canopy cover when in battroid mode wouldn't actually be clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Okay here's a preview pic from my phones' crappy camera (I'll post some better ones later when my camera's battery recharges)... So from left to right is Gamlin's CC, and the other three were tester's of possible color matching for M&M's CCs. Gamlin's is grey resulting from just enough black to the mixture, The 2nd is a mixture of Gamlin's with a light touch of blue (could substitute for Max, but that was before I realized M&M's canopy frame is royal blue), The 3rd is a mixture with more blue, The 4th is a mixture with equal amounts of purple and blue. For the last two colors I attempted to achieve the Royal Blue that resembles the canopy frame on M&M's VF-22Ses without over saturating the mixture with color. The last one actually looks more purple in person. Definitely more color testing for M&M's CCs are in the works, the unfortunate part is that it's set to rain in my area for this week (NYC) and moisture will definitely kill the casting process. Hopefully the rain will die down towards the end of this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) Yeah what i'm planning is to convert my 21 into a 22, with same shade blue, sorry i should have added that! >< Of course i still need my 22 Max, but i am in for this man, i guess just for a Max colour.

PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hey everyone, It's been more than a good month since my last update. I've been busy casting... I'll be making a separate thread in the sale section for the casts. I didn't take a pic with my Max because he's still in the box, I only took a pic with Miria because she was already out of the box (still in the plastic tray. Plus... I was too lazy to transform her, lol). I apologize for the horrible lighting. Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
