rematron Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 This is AMAZING. I'm so happy I happened upon this thread. I'm speechless.
Bolt Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 There are so many cool , Macross (Kawamori) elements going on here! I'm curious @ImChris5115, what generation VF do you see this as? I was initially thinking 3rd or 4th. But i also think it could a contender as a 5th gen Valkyrie.
ImChris5115 Posted November 2, 2023 Author Posted November 2, 2023 This is Type 01, still amending a few crucial parts.

And do I detect a slight VF-5000 Star Mirage fighter mode inspired -- infinitely more intricate and polished and contemporary -- design lineage, intentional or not, with this awesome bird of prey? Thanks, appreciated ! The rear is inspired by Northrop YF-23, front intake F35 Edited November 2, 2023 by ImChris5115

Knight26 Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 Loving the new Type-01 as well. Would like quite nice alongside the VF-25 and its successors. They physical Type-02 is coming along amazingly as well. Can't wait to see the whole thing put together.
Bolt Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 For clarification, i was asking what generation in universe. Would these be VF-19 or 171 era ? VF25 era, or VF-131era?

VF25 era, or VF-131era? Hi, It never came across my mind which era my design is from. It is just my expression of ideas that come from my love of VF and inspiration from Sensei Shoji Kawamori.
ImChris5115 Posted November 6, 2023 Author Posted November 6, 2023 Hi, the first early prototype of Type 02 was completed. The next improved version will include panel lining, landing gears, nylon printed parts ( joints ), Shoulder pad, etc.
Knight26 Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 For a straight up fit check that came out gorgeous, even without the panel lines. Looking forward to the second prototype.
Shawn Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 Did your Type01 ever make it into the physical world? I love the sleek design of that one as well I feel like I'm seeing a Type 01 vs Type 02 Macross Plus Alternate Universe competition and love it. We need to find you a toy manufacturer and get these into production!
twich Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 Both of these are truly amazing! I am awed by the skill you have demonstrated! Thank you for sharing! Twich

For the Type 01 i was just able to print out its center core parts for parts strength testing in 1/48 scale, need to do few amendments. Its dream come true if able find a toy manufacturer to produce it
Knight26 Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 Damn this thing just keeps getting prettier, loving it, and FAST packs now? Nice.
Bolt Posted November 14, 2023 Posted November 14, 2023 Looking awesome ! Might be hard shopping these around to toy manufacturers. I don't understand why you don't sell STIHLs or even print to sell..

Yes, pitching this design to manufacturers is impossible since it only comes from a macross fan design, There is a risk because of the unknown popularity of this toy... I may try resin casting those parts and better solution for reduce weight of it, and limited run on selling cast resin unassembled kits in future.
MKT Posted November 14, 2023 Posted November 14, 2023 More and more awesome! Gerwalk really looks cool.
The Original Cobywan Posted November 14, 2023 Posted November 14, 2023 This is such an amazing design!
Test_Pilot_2 Posted November 14, 2023 Posted November 14, 2023 Nice lean on that gerwalk :). I know why I love this design so much - same reason I love the YF/VF-22... There's alot of Black Widow in there and the YF-23 is my favorite plane.

Sadly, now both YF-23 seats in the museum..
