Was more than enough of a challenge to BOTH the YF-19 and YF-21... and even then Guld died taking it out - C'MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN. Galaxy's V-9's also tore Frontier's defenses. At the end of the day I love the design.
-
Cause it's elegant and deadly and awesome.
-
YES! First the QF-2200, then the MacF Ghosts (hope they re-release) now the QF-3000! Like stated previously - bring on an X-9 already!! Then I can stop trying to make one for shapeways...

The CAD of the '17 was far more detailed than this one of the '4, to quote from the VF-17 thread:
-
That's about the only nice thing on that yammie... got a 22s the other day - have to say least fave valkyrie I own. But anyways, Photoshop to the rescue!!! (Just to illustrate my opinion)
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again - the VF-4 would look killer with VF-0 or VF-1 style feet. Better yet hollowed out VF-11 inspired feet.
-
Cheers pfunk! Not so much progress pics - just what the legs look like attached I love how it looks like a delta wing when the wings sweep back!
-
I think it's still way early days - this CAD image is clearly JUST blocking out the proportions and clearances and what not. Those feet are definitely not stable or load-bearing and the wings are nothing more than place holder rough approximations.

At the end of the day, we just need more Zentran and Meltran mecha - DE CULTURE!

Custom VF-1E kits (sth. like single seat ve-1)
Kurisama replied to IScustom's topic in The Workshop!
Awesome work! Are u using Solidworks for the CAD? -
Thanks Mommar - yeah, I've always thought the VF-11's were ripe for customizing! I just checked the 1/72 pilot in there - he looks a tad too small, and I'd have to reposition the legs to fit - even just a head swap wouldn't work. Sure, send thru the 1/48 pilot! Can't hurt Now for a tiny update, started adding some 1/72 decals:
-
Of course dude! Lemmie assemble the 1/72 pilot and see how he fits, if no special mods need to be made - can u paint and assemble one of ur spare 1/72 pilots from the VF-11 kit and post it? You shouls see the yammie collection now - got a VF-22S in the mail yesterday - gotta say, least fave valk and not very impressed with it... Thanks Graham, going to tackle some more decals and panel lines over the next few days - painting the rest of the yellow areas is a no go for the moment - been raining like nobodies business for a few days now - today is especially torrential. Glad everyone here digs it!
-
I approve of the new feet.
-
Yep - I am! I have a few things on the go, between my actual job and what not. Currently; 1//60 Q.Rau TV Ver conversion parts, bits and bobs mainly as a testing ground on my GN-U Dou's, for use on 2 certain 1/60 valkyries...

Yamato 1/60 VF-17 Nightmare Diamond Force

As bonafide MW members - all of us should have at least a few 1/72 decal sheets... -
Thanks Mog! Yeah - you're right - black UN Spacey decal would work best. Looking at my 1/72 VF-11, looks like the pilot is almost the same size as the 1/60 pilot... Excellent Also, I think I may go all out and place all the non-grey (low-viz?) decals from the 1/72 kit on this custom. I think that'll look rad.
-
It's in the first post dude!

Decal update. Wondering if I should add the jolly roger on the inner vert stabilizers like on the VF-0S? Looks a bit plain to me. Thoughts on looking at this more refined scheme - perhaps make the tips of the main wings yellow also? Another brain fart; add a black stripe to go down the main leg part ala VF-0/1? EDIT: I really hate the M7 pilots - anyone out there wanna swap me an Isamu from the 11B? Pretty please?
-
Thanks Kelsain! Ok, next round of pics! I used the trimmed kite logo sticker from the 1/60 sheet to mask the original tampo print logo. Wing lines are 2 coats of tamiya matte black plus a coat of clear gloss, and the skull squad decals on the vertical stabilizer needs a coat of clear matte.
-
Oh really? Can u point me towards that thread? Yeah... may have to give the heat shield a pass for the moment - either wait until someone else has done it and see how they did it or wait till I build up the confidence and skill to pry it apart myself In other news - wing stripes painted and clear coated today as well as the other leg fins. I ran out of white '301' transfers - so should I put together my own 301 from the individual numbers on the decal sheet or slap a white UN SPACEY in the right wing stripe?
-
You mean on the chest? I was thinking about that - but not only would the paint easily scrape off in the very tight squeeze, even with several layers of clear coat (decal in photo has already scraped off) - I'd also have to figure a way to disassemble the nose of the cone to get the 2 parts out on their on for ease of painting - but i can't seem to get it open, mind you I've only had a few mins look at the assembly...
-
Update! Now a long and difficult wait until I can get some Mr.Hobby UV cut matte clear coat... Dammit! I just wanna peel all the tape off and attach it to the main body!
-
^ Of course! Question is... yellow or black? And what about the 4 little pink triangles?
-
I should mention that that is the masking tape to mark out where the black lines will be! Sorry!
