I Started 6 Months ago Modelling Macross for STL Collectables. And here are the final results.

Do you plan on re-releasing the files somewhere else?

I’m sure it’s not too different than an insignia red, I’ll have to double check. The color guide and my Translotor on my phone don’t seem to get along. It just says red parts red, gray parts green gray so I’m not 100% sure on any of it. My plan was just to wing it with most of the colors 

It‘s a slight orange red tone.

I wish I had more spare time. I still haven’t gotten the hands all put together or the gunpod ready for pictures yet. 
Just noticed that red stripe looks like it had a little accident. If you wanted to fix it it could just take a quick bit of masking and some red paint, or you could do some battle damage since Hikaru gets shot down a lot

Yeah, the decals are rather allergic to tamiya mark setter strong. :S

Not sure if I have the right red tone to fix it or the muse to actually fix it haha

Finished Plamax VF-1 fighter and Battroid.

Is that blue light/lens on the leg a decal? A sticker? or paint?

It‘s a clear part. There is a decal for the blue on the decal sheet, but I painted it with revell clear blue.

edit:

and done

@Big s yeah! Just look at the pics below. I think the kit is satisfying to build. Stuff just fits, sometimes a bit loose but nothing that would make one angry.

@MechTech oh you have no idea… so many parts… I‘m not done yet. Option parts as well. Panels, hands …

picture time!

First time for me to use PLAMAX decals. They get loosened really quickly, even in cold water. And with a little mark setter they wrap around any shape.

the red dome is done by a decal wrapped around the dome.

the other leg and the gun pod will be taken care off tomorrow. Really a nice kit so far.

Workbench time!

the kid and I are building the plamax VF-1J today.

it‘ll be a GUNPLA style build. Little color, heavy panel lining maximum fun

Muhahaha

got mine today.

I like that they have Hasegawa format

There’s a few little details that could use a touch of paint though. The head lasers are  all white for instance, there’s really only a few other little things that need touch ups

Thanks for the heads-up 👍

14 years later ...

hahahaha, but good thing you didn't quit on it, like I did with my SV-51 Nora, after I lost a piece while moving.

Just make sure you got some glue, this thing has little bits that will just plop off . It’s a pretty fun build so far though 

I have so much glue ... I plan to GUNPLA this thing. Dissolving some sprues in tamiya glue to fill gaps and then sand the thing and then only decals and panel lining

The only thing to receive color will be the clear parts.

man ... can't wait for mine. It'll hopefully be in my hands on Friday

Blasphemy!

Ordered the VF-1J battroid. Checking is on 1999 made me like „mhmm… I wanna build this“.

Wow. Individual finger joints.  

Again, this is a 1/60 scale and not 1/48, right? He looks big.  

Nope, 1/48. he stated that somewhere in the beginning.

What some people can do with FIMO is just mindboggling.

Still nothing… the suspense! I cannot bear it!

More like just holding you in a pattern buffer tank until the authorities can arrive, then materialize you in the back of the police cruiser.

pff.... not to the police cruiser, straight into the station man

@Urashiman Will like to see how the stenciling looks under the full paint.

Well, not much to see apparently…

maybe in normal sunlight. I‘ll check tomorrow.

edit:
mhmm, shines through a bit.

Time to airbrush the VF-171 again. I got some cheap stencils to try.

everything is pre-shaded already. Some purple leopard pattern here and there. Let’s see how it works out.

not too bad, I think.

after a while, the airbrush decided I have to stop as the charge was empty. Since I got that thing, stuff goes on faster than usual

New promo photos for 1/72 YF-19 Battroid. Looks good.

Awww shucks… 

I didn’t actually want one, but now I want one. Damn sexy YF-19.

Seems they're building up hype for May 9th and going to actually reveal things at a webcast during Shizuoka Hobby Show weekend
 

 

 

 

 

Yeah… was reading the news on the macross page and was disappointed. So, skull squadron themed lobster it is…

That is a sweet looking cockpit

Keep up the good work!
