For now Yamato wants pics, and I have conditions. Why am I posting so much info about what's transpiring??? Well, I would like to have witnesses to talks and records of what is transpiring prior to delivering the goods, not only in pics but in full three-dimensionsial-you-can't-believe-it-goodness. I have talked to several people about registering and patenting the desing but it seems impossible. Since the desing is originally Kawamori's, there is nothing I can do to register this. But in exposing talks I can track and record everyting and anything priod to production and relaese of this design. Also there are no specific designs of how the actual mechanincs of how the VF-1D actually works, so that is where I have leverage and can claim this as mine. Yamato's interest is not only for the 1/48 but for the 1/60 as well. According to Graham the 1/60 is coming in the near future and they wish to incorporate this design. My commitment has always been to produce this for the fans of Macross, and nothing but. If there is a toy company like Yamato who has interest in this design then I hope they look at this with open eyes and ears to deliver this to the fans. ....Yamato, I await your response....

Start tracking...

???

I'm with you on this, and for a better price.

Doh!! Please move to the appropriate location. The Tlead will be Gakken-esque. So the proportions are meant to go in that direction. Not perfect but better than what is currently available. Plus once finished this bad boy should be huge in 1/35!!!

I could attempt to build it as a newer version, but I can't justify it to myself. I want this sucker old school so that it rounds out my old Gakken Legioss. You are always more than welcome to create your own updated version of the Legioss and Tlead, just don't fcuk it up like so many have.

I've been contemplating on wether I should build a 1/35 Gakken-style Tled. I know most everyone here is clamoring on about how much they love the Toynami and Aoshima versions of the Legioss (insert sarcasm here), and since we know were getting a 1/48 version Tled I figured I would go retro. I've always wanted a Tled for my old Gakkens and seeing as how I am just about done on the 1/48 VF-1 designs, I figured I'd move into new territory and build something unique. This is just an interest thread to see how many people would be interested in this particular toy-like-model. Of course, I will build it as a toy, but we all now it isn't a toy until it's done ABS, PVC, or vinyl. Yet, will will have ratcheting joints as the old Gakken Legioss. Upon taking on this endeavor I will also work on making updated joint systems for the old 1/35 Legioss to have better articulation throughout the toy. Well, for now let's just keep this as an interest thread and tell me what you'ld like to see in this rendition, but remember to keep it line-art accurate. I don't want this to turn into a Gundam-esque type Tled.

No matter how many times I see this it looks pretty good until you get to the feet? Reminds me of an old Eddie Murphy flick where he sleeps with this woman, whom he considers perfect, until he sees her callouse and bunion riddled feet.

Nice pics rF. Wish I could post really nice and up-close pics of some of my stuff.

Wow this looks great. For me, just upon seeing this pic it totally reminds of Snake-Eyes, but with an updated triwst (not overly exagerrated nor unrecognizable). Great job and kudos to the costume designer. I hope they make a toy in this version.

Sorry about that DA. I should have also noted that the 1/48 mechanics for this particular VF-1D would also be incorportated into the 1/60 VF-1D.

Don't forget spelling. (GRAMMAR)

If indeed the cockpit opens and the scale is true 1/60 then there would be no reasonable explanation why they woulnd't fit. What I'm really wondering is if the armour would be able to be switched around on the different destroids, ala the 1/100 Conversion Kit by Takatoku. That would make for all sorts of interesting customs.

OOOOOOOOooooooo, looks nice and shiny. Keep it up.

I think I'll pass on this. Like it or not, I still think Toysucky's version looks better than this. I am not one to say Toysucky's is great and all but just from what I've seen I'd rather stick with their version. Better dimensions and link-up, on the Toysucky, are what have me sold.

...vertical stabilizers.

Nah, I'd say blame EXO. It's best for all of us.

Looking good, but the dimensions are really not to par with the lineart. Does the heatshield bind when sliding during transition from fighter to gerwalk to battroid? ***Gander over to my avatar, the valkyrie in the middle is the platform for the VE-1 and VT-1. All the mechanical components are completed except for the heads which I am currently working on.

That's exactly why I've alway posted fuzzy and very small pics of my work.

Something similar but not quite.

Yes.

Yes.

We all know what kind of potential the VF-1D has. And let's not forget just how difficult is has been to accomplish.

That is already in the works. I am planning on making a "TRUE" perfect transformation 1/48, key workd being "TRUE" in every sense.
