As far as I know these Gundam helmets are modified usable helmets; they are mostly detailed by the paint and not the structure. The Macross one are molded that way so the structure is unique, most likely unbalanced and are not crash tested or Snell/DOT certified...
Did I get that right mommy??

Hey buglips; Never give up, never surrender..just allow yourself to take breaks. Show us some of your stuff even if it not macross..there are plenty of topics where you can show us some of your modeling skills...looking forward to your first VF...

Nice dedication to detail...keep it up...

As an amatuer filmmaker, I can tell you that a throw away scene like that is meant to visually communicate to the audience a message they will understand quickly, without going into dialogue or exposition. The scene lasts only moments, the attention of the audience is focused on a specific detail of the scene using light and color to emphasize the important details, the visual message is sent, and the scene ends.
In the case of Macross Plus, the scene in question is meant to tell the audience visually that the YF-19 is doing better than the YF-21 in the Super Nova Competition. The director wants this transition scene to help visually move the story along in the direction of the script. It's also a setup for tension between characters, indicating that the competition is well underway, results are starting to indicate an outcome, and the stakes are getting higher. As a result of this conflict, characters will take actions in response...possibly drastic action. Thus the story creates drama.
Whether the YF-19's success is do to superior product, superior pilot, or any number of factors is left up to individual viewer interpretation.
AMEN bro...

put me on the list as well...let's see how the price handles though...

He makes a comment about how the sword was used as a weapon in the past when he kills the guards and scientist on the log/ records room, I am sure he meant the samurai . You can tell he was emulating a Ninja or something of that sort and he would act under a strict honor code. but once they get the mesage out there was no point of killing. Besides, finally someone was better than him why kill Mal when he already lost?

just saw the movie...well done Sci-fi...humor and drama cue is right on without being too forced..it was a great sequel to the few chapters I saw on the TV drama and placed many if not all loose ends together...
I don't think another movie sequel/ prequel is a great idea right now but this made enough impact and money to make the TV idios think about the rebirth of the TV series . Wash can be brought back many other ways as a "clone" , flash back, or a psychic companion to River and just be a part of the franchise as usual.

Just keep an eye on all of the model building processes..here and in other forums...do a web search.
Most of the skills I have I learned them from many of the members here...and some books found on the internet..I had no previous building skills and got the hang of it rather quickly but it took me about 2 years to understand why some things have to be done certain ways and why you should never stop looking around to learn better and newer techniques..
Don't feel afraid to ask; that's how I found solutions to many of my problems and practice as much as you can...
Jonn13 - i am virtually a half year late on this but we have a couple of master decal makers Anasazi is one of them and he was selling some of them around check on the for sell section...

I have been checking in and out the forums but haven't signed in a long time or read many of the posts...
I used some left over YF-19 hasegawas decals and other models decals to fill some of the big blank spaces on the rear cockpit..
My background is of 2D hand drawing so I can hit some small detail lines with a thin brush. All the inside forward cockpit is done by hand. I added some wiring and small plastic kitbash details like MW cheng is doing with the 3 slot vents on his booster. Also used a kotobukiya Y join for the canopy a very simple light color wash on top of all that messy cockpit detail and voila..
I feel so lazy and I've been busy all these months since I haven't touch any of my models since the beginning of Summer, which usually by now I would have built at least 2-3 models..
I would love to see some other modelers hitign this cat's eye..
I'll give myself time soon to take better pictures of the cockpit from other angles...

to increase or decrease for that matter, items choices and narrow your search then use multiple words on brackets. play around with them
examples;
(macross,robotech,hasegawa)
(maross,robotech) 1/72
(episode one,starwars) resin

Dude..you made the thumbs up!!

awesome detailing...good job

Oh boy, I had to do a research about this .
By the way guys someone needs to add this to the hasegawa plastic kits on the model menu section.
Hey big F, the photo etched parts are an add on for detailing of the models on certain sections of the building up; they are also made by Hasegawa. I would strongly recomend you to buy them if you want to maximize the detail of the Vf's.
There are other ways to get around it by kitbashing styrene parts and metal pieces added on but the quality of the potho etched is already superb. You can find them on Ebay and some model shops might still have them available but you have to do some research. The average price is around $10-$12 but they are becoming scarse so expect the prices to go a bit higher.
hope that helps a bit

I did a semy detailed cat's eye build up last year before we switched servers...

Some people just want to be pinocchios.
To the recaster and not the seller..." liar, liar pants on fire..."

I would agree that the base should be large enough to fit a standing 1/72 hasegawa battroid...

my take...

I said this before and i say it again if you can generate enough power and have enough stabilizers even a rock can fly and maneuver..
I still believe that, even not the most aerodinamic, the vf-1 could keep up with most fighters if given a chance...
I am alowwed to dream; am I?

if the Daedalus original size is 488 M and you wanted at 6 Ft would that make it around 1/270 scale..? why the odd size..? wouldn't be more logicall making it at 1/200 for the nichimos or othr known scale?
hold on, I got a new calculation about 1/30 scale...Where are the mathematicians when i need them...!! ?
