Kelsain Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Drone Vf-11 would be an easy cockpit replacement. Never seen the test bed version. Man, I've still got to get your Q rau set, but my bench is disassembled & buried. (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurisama Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks Veef - not sure which section I'd post in there, lol - japanese robots or buy/sell/trade? Any ways, I have to finish of this head model and start prepping my next project before work starts winding up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Robodragon's custom painted converted VF-0C looks great. Kurisama did a marvelous job with designing these pieces. I'm still amazed that things like this are now possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Just wait and see whats coming Got a few plans for the VF-4 when it arrives and a few small things planned for the VF-22 also, before starting my next 'big' project.

MacrossJunkie Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 You're doing a new head for the VF-4, right? I'm curious what you could possibly be making for the VF-22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yep, and thigh-flap hard points and possibly new wings with hard points. The '22 needs secure rear wheels and maybe new gun pods? In any case she definitely needs new boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case she definitely needs new boots :D/> ... Please tell me.. Are you actually going to make Eugimon's Omega PantsTM?!? That sounds awesome though. I just wonder how hard it will be to install new wings on the VF-4. Anyway, I need to get around to ordering the 0D set.. I just hope it gets molded the right direction, because the way those heavily stepped parts look would probably make me just throw them away. That'd be an insane amount of work to fix.

Kurisama Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 What are omega pants? Like I said, I'll have to see what I can and can't do once I have the VF-4 in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Ah.. I'll just link this here.

Chronocidal Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Those were some great times right there. But yeah, with this whole Shapeways thing working so well, I wonder if people would be interested in a set of leg add-ons to help the YF-21/VF-22 bulk up a little.

Kurisama Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Basically as my 22 would never clip back perfectly and seemlessly into fighter mode - I'd just remove the legs. Then the leg's skinnyness also bothered me too - so i thought I'd make the shins or 'boots' detachable. In a nutshell - the shins and feet are wider, bigger a tad and have more curves than the original 1/60. It practically looks like it's wearing bell-bottoms. I'm going to use the GNU-Dou '21 sculpt as reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurisama Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Well, looky here - the 171's missiles (except the sidewinder) fit snuggly on the wings; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 That's certainly interesting. I thought the hardpoints for the 171 were a different size from what Yamato uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I think the only thing different about them is the size of the center pin. Bandai actually embedded their hardpoints on the 171 further into the wings than Yamato does, having the forward and rear clips tab directly into the wing, but if you lay them side by side, the only apparent difference is that Bandai uses a much smaller center pin. I would bet that Bandai's stuff would clip to Yamato's hardpoints without much trouble, but putting Yamato stuff on a 171 would be tricky, because besides the center post being too big, the shape of the pylons might not fit into the recesses in the wing, and the clips won't be able to engage.

MacrossJunkie Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Ah, I see. I only just got my armor parts for the 171 a couple days ago, but I haven't really examined or done anything with it yet since I've been working on other projects and wanted to complete them first. That's nice that they're still usable on Yamato valks at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vf_1s Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Well, looky here - the 171's missiles (except the sidewinder) fit snuggly on the wings; How much will it be if we wanted it to be painted grey (color of the vf-0 ?)

Kurisama Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 I don't offer painting services just yet, seeing as you order from shapeways directly - the physical product never passes through my hands. Also, if you head to the VF-4 custom head unit thread, you can see renders of the final product which I just sent off to get printed.
