Ancalagon Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Hi, here is my VF-0 I'm not really satisfied with this one. I made some mistakes which are very annoying, especially after I saw wm chengs step by step.
Angel's Fury Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Hey! You can always learn from your mistakes! Nonetheless, it still looks good!
Stamen0083 Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 It could be worse. It could still be in box, unbuilt, like mine It looks fine. Just up one more next time ;-)
Ancalagon Posted March 8, 2004 Author Posted March 8, 2004 Thanks! Maybe I buy me another one and start over again :-) Is someone here who wants to have this baby? You only have to come to germany and get it :-)
the white drew carey Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 I think it looks pretty good. For future reference, Photograph your models on a white or solid color sheet or piece of paper, and try to get the room a lit up as possible, so that there is a load of indirect light on the model.
UN Spacy Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Looks damned good to me Ancalagon! I never knew the VF-0's carried a tow cable.
robokochan Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Very Nice indeed! Better than I could do! Rob MN
newca Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 very well done! why VF-1 don't have a tail hook?? I saw a 3D CG pic shows it have 2 hooks! I don't think it's an official design, what do you all think?
hellohikaru Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 why VF-1 don't have a tail hook?? Because VFs can recover using Gerwalk mode.
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 very well done!why VF-1 don't have a tail hook?? I saw a 3D CG pic shows it have 2 hooks! I don't think it's an official design, what do you all think? The pic you saw may have used the old HCM valks as a reference. HCMs have one hook that swings out from each rear wheel bay. Back on subject, that VF-0 doesn't look half bad! Which technique did you use for the panel lines, Ancalagon?
tetsujin Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 It could be worse. It could still be in box, unbuilt, like mine I hear that... The model looks nice.
neptunesurvey Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Nice Job! I just picked mine up yesterday and I can't wait to start on mine.
Gerwalker Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 (edited) very well done!why VF-1 don't have a tail hook?? I saw a 3D CG pic shows it have 2 hooks! I don't think it's an official design, what do you all think? First: I like your VF-0 a lot Ancalagon !! I hope mine arrives this week and can build it as well as yours (I will follow wmcheng step by step what is an big advantage)!! Now your Macross models collection is even more complete!!! (I wonder if its the completest among MW members) Second: sorry for this digression Ancalagon, just want to clarify what Valkyrie Hunter D seems to (wrongly) imply in his answer: The pic of the VF-1 with the 2 hooks is official since it could be find in one of the most detailed Macross (official) books: TIAS Macross Plus. It is in the Variable Fighter's Aeroreport which was compiled under the supervision of S. Kawamori (as is written on the cover of the book!) Need something even more official than that???? Here you are (from Egan Loo's Macross Compendium, of course): LANDING GEAR: Retractable tricycle undercarriage. Two steerable nosewheels retract rearward into nose and twin coupled mainwheels inward into fuselage. Two arresting hooks mounted underfuselage on engine nacelles. So: it doesn't matter if it was some toy feature or not, the 2 arresting hooks is an official part of the VF-1. For more official info on the VF-1 check the Compendium entry (what is ever a good thing to do before posting to avoid wrong information to spread): Macross Compendium entry on VF-1 EDIT: forgot the pic!!!

Ancalagon Posted March 13, 2004 Author Posted March 13, 2004 Back on subject, that VF-0 doesn't look half bad! Which technique did you use for the panel lines, Ancalagon? a wash with dark grey oil color. Now your Macross models collection is even more complete!!! (I wonder if its the completest among MW members) I now have 13 complete hase kits and 15 unbuilt hase kits, I think I need a bigger apartment. My next project is the VF-19A ravens.
Macross_Fanboy Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Beautiful, I just want you to know, you're my favorite Valk. Awesome kit man! Now...if only I were that good...
gnollman Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Looks great... I didn't see any mistakes. Haven't decided whether to get one of the VF-0 yet....
