The VF-0D and VF-1J are extremely impressive displays!!

Great to see all the Macross subjects, but in general, the quality of work in all the photos is extremely impressive.

Edit: wow, just saw the awesome 'Cordoba' from Crusher Joe. Never thought it could look so good.

That was some great stuff all around. Loved all the Macross love. I think someone even tried to make the red VF-1 seen in that split second clip of the next Frontier movie.

Think my personal favorite though was the navalized F-22 Obviously the change to leading edge slats didn't make any sense, but I loved it in those 1970s high-vis markings.

By the way though.. what the heck was up with that F-15.. robot... thing...?? It looked like someone threw parts to an F-15 and a Zero in a box, dropped in a tube of glue, cranked up some funky 70s porn groove, and shook the box for all it was worth.

Edit: There's actually a lot more fun stuff if you dig around more on the site. Someone built up an F-14 testbed in Focker's markings (VF-84 scheme with macross insignia and a skull on the neck where the VF-0's canopy shield is) and carrying a VF-1 gunpod, and VF-0 missile pods in place of normal fuel tanks.

There was also some sort of weird custom armored VF.. I couldn't tell what it was, it was only in the corner of another shot, but the feet looked like a VF-0 battroid.. with reaction missiles and the boxy VF-1 missile pods strapped to its legs.

Damn, checking out those awesome builds...at the same time it inspires me to improve on my skills AND humbles the heck out of me and my amateur-level builds, naked and unpainted as they are. I usually go the lazy man's route by simply clear coating the models without paint (in the case of pre-colored kits like Gunpla) or weathering.

In any case, those are some kickass builds. Gotta love the VF-0D diorama.

I just noticed the 1/48 Strike in gerwalk:

I believe that to be an old Takara kit long since out of production. Here's the link to the Blog and build up of that kit, enjoy! Cordoba
