    Checking my profiles. Correct TV style upper intake details. I really like how the heat baffles works in more than one way.

    It could possibly be that the engineers are younger and appreciate an anorexic aesthetic versus or desire of a THICC Valkyrie. Just a thought.

    Details.

    If Bandai was capable of makes the legs thicker on the YF-21. Why wouldn’t they have just reengineered the legs on VF-17? I get the whole “save money” mantra but this is pure laziness. When have we not purchased high end items? This is Macross, buying expensive toys and related items is all we do. Saving money is not an option. Put out something great…we will buy it without a second thought. C’mon Bandai, you can do a WHOLE LOT BETTER.

    What this release feels like.

    Working on the thighs. Story paint is really helping me see how this project is progressing. i am really happy with this.

    Well said. And so very true. I think I found the original sketch used to develop this new DX. Not much really changed. Thanks for nothing Bandai.
  8. nightmareB4macross
    Great, another remake worse than its predecessor. 🫤 Did Bandai just take all the cues from the VF-171 and paint it black. Super pass on the first batch. Waiting for these to hit bargain bins.

    There may have been a specific way in which these were acted but it might be difficult to say for sure. Most MIB examples have items individually wrapped while others have the twin antenna together with shield wrapped separately or some don’t have wrapping at all. Same for the Strike Valkyries. Aside from that the baggies they used were pretty inconsistent in feel, size, mil, and form of sealing. Would be an interesting note for sure. one person who has a very fine set of examples would be @Agent-GHQ. Hopefully his are still undisturbed.

    @sh9000simple yet effective. I went with using vinyl electrical tape in assorted colors. Having purchased a bunch of VF-1S Supers and VF-1A to make these customs tape makes it easy to create customs and keep from damaging paint, parts, or screws. Still your custom is very cool to say the least. The colors appear more than bright enough n the picture, but really are very close to the original paint. Keep those customs coming.

    More updates.

    Damn that looks amazing!
  15. nightmareB4macross
    Going for TV VF-1S Hikaru. I laid down some more color to see the parts (and defects) better. The intakes are the original size, but painting them this way makes them look huge!

    So after this, will an official DYRL Skull squadron member be released? It has been years since Bandai teased these.
  17. nightmareB4macross
    That’s still a hefty catch. Would be nice to know the actual price. BOA can lead people to believe the higher price listed but the figure could have sold for half the asking price.
  18. nightmareB4macross
    @F18LEGIOSS2 Nice work on that wing! Very clean and smooth. @505thAirborne can’t wait to see your finished results. @big F that MaK figure is looking good. Always loved the look and feel of those kits and toys. @Papa Rat sorry if I missed it. Will this be a Milia version? @Mog cool diorama. Well, after finally receiving my tile pattern I got it into place. Originally, I was looking for lattice texture, but realized these were tiles and not divets like a lot of the sculpts represent. glad I spend time doing the research.🧐

    That is one ultra glossy VE-1. Seems as if the seller used baby oil to clean it. At that price I would expect to be shown the rear of the figure and all the accessories as I only count one booster armor antenna. My have the prices of VE-1’s risen in past auctions, not sure they are selling that high though.

    A quick comparison of all the ill shaped backpacks and their off positions. From a manufacturer’s standpoint their offerings make production easier, but a little more effort could have made the backpack a bit more condensed and folded in the proper GERWALK position. Just my two cents.
  21. nightmareB4macross
    Thank you. One day it will be a grand one at that. For now it’s still a baby.
  22. nightmareB4macross
    Silly head pilots.
  23. nightmareB4macross
    Thank you. Your painting skills are amazing. The Z-Scout and Mospeada look incredible. It has always been a childhood dream to get all this achieved on a 1/55.
  24. nightmareB4macross
    For the purposes of line art, I modified the heat baffle of the backpack to recess into the backplate versus being incorrectly attached to the backpack. Works great, especially in fighter mode as it supports the backpack and aligns it perfectly. Still a few dozen tasks or so to complete this, but I think it’s coming along well.
  25. nightmareB4macross
    Good Lord you guys are in another level. kudos!!! I am still continuing with humble little build. Completed a few more details.
