Luv the custom alternate face and color scheme LTSO, great job!

Congrats Graham. Year of the Monkey(chinese horoscope sign) is a good year for a boy! Will bring you lots of prosperity and happiness...mine is due in December

Awesome Conversion for the VF-0S and SV51 and the Reactor Armor...just insane!! Thanks Graham for the coverage!

There go my wallet again...put me down for both if that's the case

Congrats Jesse for making this project a reality! I'm interested in acquiring some misc parts for both kit...let me know if that's possible. Thanks!

Nice Work! Keep it up!

Thanks everyone for the kudos! I'm glad you guys like it. That would be nice if Yamato does come out w/ a green one. I'm surprise they don't have like a "stealth user" which goes to forum like this and do some heavy observations of what fans really like and want...or they don't care. Lonely, That was from Macross 7 movie I believed.

Awesome work Spiff! Thanks for the update!

Beautiful G! Nice Green too! Neova You could use an exacto knife and carefully scrape them off

Very nice! But the FB looks to clean, maybe you should add alittle dark grey to it? That just my 2 cents.

Hey Anthony, They are vinyl stickers/electric tape. It work really great and wrap effortlessly around rounded area and hugged to the shape of the toy, Phyisoguy helped me out on that one. They were originally hand drawn then cutted out to be used as stencil template. Purple one? Is that the same as the Max's Rau that's coming out? BTW, where was that Rau featured in DYRL? I don't remember seeing it. Graham, I've sent you a PM last nite. If you need the pic to be larger, LMK. Thanks, to177

Thanks for sharing! Love your 1/48's collection.

That's my next project. But I'm gonna have Millia stand instead of being inside the cockpit. The only reason for that is when I install the battery for the LED, I forgot bout her completely. So when I did put her inside the cockpit, her helmet interfere with my battery compartment and wouldn't closed completely.

Ahh man, they are milking us Macross fans w/swaping the color to Max! I'll consider if the green version comes out!

You can try: www.tmpanime.com or www.valkyrie-exchange.com They both carried his decal for customizing

Guys, the Rau is finished and I've posted it in the "toy" thread. Thanks for all your help and suggestions. I was able to add the LED, but without any switch. It's sort of GHETTO, but it works! LMK what you guys think! to177 Q-Rau

cover I can easely amused myself...please pardon!

Thanks Guys! All your comments and feedbacks are welcome. I was very nervous when I 1st started this custom, afraid of messing it up and throwing away $120 down the drain, but I'm really happy w/ the result now.

added a booster to the back pack

another view of the LED

the "LED"

cockpit with the "ghetto led system". Originally I had wanted to added a on/off switch. I had many great helps from here but still did not get it to work, did not to take too much time from anyone. So I took it upon myself and made a simple way of turning on/off the led. Everytime I want the LED to light up, all I have to do is connect the "ground" wire to the battery box, and it works! Not the most elegant and beautiful way of integrating a led system, but it works.
