nightmareB4macross Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) lol... So can i please ask you one thing good sir... this design is complete then right? You have a fully working VF-1D FULLY FUNCTIONAL, AND MAY I ADD THE PARTS STAY TOGETHER WITHOUT GLUE, TAPE OR ANYTHING ELSE. and painted advanced kit sitting right in front of you don't you? *grins* Edited March 23, 2008 by nightmareB4macross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 If I were negotiating with HG I would have received a C&D by the end of my first post. That is not very funny. I hope that your work is produced. Yes so you get credit, VF-1D for the masses, but hopefully Yamato finally sees that there is a market worth fighting for in North America. Yamato won the suit in Japan... Why put off till tomorrow a fight you can pick today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 If you want someone to er... 'test paint' a prototype... ;-) j/k, I've been following this with interest, hope it comes to fruition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claude grant Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Never posted before (just joined actually), but NMB4M, I just gotta let you know how much your dedication & commitment to this project means to me personally. You have taken another very daunting task and given it the royal treatment it deserves! Because of your love of Macross and it's many, many fans & supporters (especially for the 1/48 scale), we sit at a crossroads so pivotal that it may change my whole attitude toward continuing to collect Yamato products. Thank you for reminding what immense talent, hard work, and overall enthusiasm can get you in life. You have earned my support for anything Macross, or otherwise, that you decide to put your talented hands to. Here's to praying that you get what you want from this endeavor. Because if it pays off, you will certainly have made my wishes come true. And for that, all I can say is THANK YOU TO INFINITY!!!!!!!! p.s. and the same applies to you to EXO!!!!

dizman Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I hope that you (by you I mean NMB4M) get what you deserve from this great crusade you have set out upon. I also hope we all get to profit from the ultimate VF-1D. I would more like to see this in 1/48th but if 1/60 is what it takes to see this become real then what must be must be.

Beware of Blast Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 NMB4, 1) when you said credit, do you mean your name will be printed on the packaging or stamp molded on the valk toy itself, or both - kind of credit? 2) or does that credit also comes with the contractor/consultant fee? If by credit you meant you're only getting (1) and not (2), please tell Yamato to fvck off. Settle for nothing less than 15% cut for every valk that Yamato makes and sells of your version of the VF1D. Otherwise you're better off selling the kits to the fans to DIY or gain more by doing a full customization job on the 1/48 VF1D for fans without any skills. Big West, Yamato and the Macross fandom be damned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirohawa Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yeah BOB I'm sure that's the same deal Kawomori gets. Let's inflame things on the boards - that should be confidential - and make the 1D project crash and burn - great idea!

nightmareB4macross Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) NMB4, 1) when you said credit, do you mean your name will be printed on the packaging or stamp molded on the valk toy itself, or both - kind of credit? I'm not into having my name on the packaging, but if that's what it takes, so be it. I meant more along the lines of when pics of the prototype are produced and I get a one liner for my involvement and nothing more. 2) or does that credit also comes with the contractor/consultant fee? It would be freelance since I was never contracted nor aske to consult on this eneavor. If by credit you meant you're only getting (1) and not (2), please tell Yamato to fvck off. Ease up, let me work this out. I've dealt with these type of situations before, it's not only a matter of time, but a matter of profitability as well. Settle for nothing less than 15% cut for every valk that Yamato makes and sells of your version of the VF1D. Otherwise you're better off selling the kits to the fans to DIY or gain more by doing a full customization job on the 1/48 VF1D for fans without any skills. Thanks again for your concern, but I will do my best to handle this accordingly. Basically I want this to be a win win situation where I and Yamato are the winners (and let's not forget the fans). Big West, Yamato and the Macross fandom be damned. I think you're getting ahead of yourself, let's just wait for Yamato's response. I have other items that would be of great interest to Yamato, so if the 1D dies the rest will folllow. But this is not my intent nor my vision, I want the 1D available to all, as well as the VE-1 and the VT-1.

Beware of Blast Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Thank you NMB4 for your answers. I was almost convinced sometimes that the whole Macross franchise is merely kept afloat by the fans' passion and whatever figure they have in their pocket book. 15% cut of the total cost (not the selling price) it took to make the 1D line is not a lot to ask - even as a freelance fee - just to get the 1 D out to the market. And I asked those questions with the best intentions. Godspeed to your ventures man. I would buy your Yamato 1D provided that Yamato doesn't fvck it up.

Godzilla Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Well, I hope they do take this design and make it for the 1/48s. I am not keen on the new releases of the 1/60s. I like to keep the same scale but those destroids are coming. Still I rather go 1/48 on the VF-1 series... Whichever, good luck to you NB4M. I hope they consider it.

Kyp Durron Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hmm...this is really getting interesting, they're actually wanting to incorporate this into the new 1/60 line too?! Wow...now that would be awesome if they can, I love the way the new 1/60 VF-1S looks, and I really want to keep everything in one scale if at all possible. If they can't incorporate it into the 1/60 line, then I might just have to break down and get a 1D in 1/48 scale, just to have those cool features. NB4M, I'm praying that this works out for you like you're hoping it will. -Kyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orguss01 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hey my cousin is a business lawyer..not sure how much he knows about issues like this but if ya ever need someone to interpret legalize.. I agree you should receive some type of $ compensation for your works. Even if it is just a one time consult fee..it would be great to receive royalties though... Link up with Exo and you guys could sell a package to Yamato...from the hrdcore to the world...think of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beware of Blast Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Link up with Exo and you guys could sell a package to Yamato...from the hrdcore to the world...think of it.... Not that I'm disagreeing with this statement completely, I failed to see why must Yamato be involved without firstly, looking at ways to do this independently. It's not like these guys can't do a good job themselves... it's more likely the chances of screw-up is higher with Yamato's involvement. You guys should benefit a 100% from all the hardwork. Why share the fruits of your labor with a company that is concerned only with marking up profits of independent sculptors' work and not so much with the quality ultimately? Stamping their company name with Big West's doesn't convince me that your blood & sweat are their work, but in time, they will come to own your sculpts and transformation ideas while you only get a one time pay-off. All this will ultimately work in their favor more than it is yours. Please remember that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) After the 1/60 line is a long time... so many 1 seater variants (sigh). And the 1/60 scale 2 seaters better not be after ALL the one seaters. Dammit Yamato better have a 2 seater after the VF-1A ?? Don't give a stuff about the 1J, only if it would be released with the GBP-1S, or atleast not far off from it's spearate release. CF-1A 1/60 for the win! Or a max 1A, then i can scab off SilverDragon dude and get a 1S 1/60 head with a blue visor! Edited April 22, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightmareB4macross Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 how do they look in fighter mode? You can get an idea of the profile if you look at my avatar. The 1D is done. The Ostrich will feature having the head tucked in during non-armoured fighter mode and a protruding head during Super fighter mode. Took me a while to figure it all out. All I need now is to complete the armour and minor details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
