My god, that is amazing. can I say more? Keep up the great work!

My suggestion... go to www.1999.co.jp and search for Hasegawa Macross. All of the models that they have for sale have on-line scans of the instructions, including painting and marking guides. I think they have just about all of the ones you are looking for. (edited for spelling)

Well, consider me in on that PM if you are still willing....

Where did you find that sucker?!!! Sweeeet......

does anyone have the hasegawa painting instructions scanned for the VF-0 yet? I'm looking for a high res image, if possible.... Thanks, JB

Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic! WM, what are the chances of getting a high res scan of the Hase painting instructions? I would really appreciate it... (please don't let this request distract you from your current project) Keep it up! We all love your work! -JB

Well, I'm back... I've been gone since November 17th, if you can believe that! Wow, a lot has changed around here so much to catch up on.... ...In any case, I shall be completing this little project shortly. It's good to be back!

I have to apologize, I haven't had any time to do any work on this project. Work has been kicking my ass for a few months now and it doesn't look like it is going to slow down for awhile. I'm still out here though! (barely). Thanks for the interest though!

my god man, she looks fantastic! Question... if you paint the "inside" surface of the clear parts, how are they going to be glued into place? won't the paint ruin any bond between the plastics?

What exactly is the slide card way? Is there a way of modding it w/o cracking the case, or am I just dreaming?

Here's your daily " 'atta boy!" Fantastic work my man....

Is this what you are looking for? I'm not sure who made it, so I have no idea who to credit it to...

Anyone have a profile of the SV-51? I haven't seen anything on that one yet...

Done David. Thanks for the scan... any others you would like to see?

Has anyone looked at the old boards lately? I think someone has been doing a little hacking lately...

Alright, with the exception of the F-15, F-16 and F-18 (I want to make sure that I have the most modern profiles) I have just about all of the orthos I need to begin constructing a viable "size comparison". My question to my fellow MW'ers, What/How should I construct such an image? What do you guys want to see? My biggest problem right now is that there are so many aircraft that anything fairly large will be HUGE! If you have seen the test comparison I did on about page 1 or 2 (can't remember now) that's the style I was going for... ...kind of a semi technical representation... Any suggestions? Oh, and if there is anything else you would like on the image for size reference, or additional aircraft, please let me know....

Thanks for all the scans!! I will have an update this week, things are starting to slow down a bit.

I was thinking more along the lines of a close up on her face... doesn't translate well... I think we should petition for larger avatars!!

WDC, Damn man, she is sweet! I think the T shirt idea is great by the way too... Keep 'em coming, this is some of the best work I've seen in awhile! What's up next? May I suggest (obviously a VF-11 MAXL?) (Mind if I convert her to an avatar?) -JB

Here, try this...

Does anyone have a good clean hi-res (but small) scan of a zentran / meltran insignia? Looking to use them as kill marks on a custom color scheme valk. Thanks!

Hikaru, I don't have the Tanmen kit for the Dragon II, I used a pic from his website for the reference. It's not very accurate, but I thought it was close enough... I like your version though! Oh by the way, I have RT:BC and this version of the VF-1R is not the same one as in the game. That's why I was confused. (Not that RT:BC is all that accurate... ...I have all sorts of issues with that damn game.)

Anyway, I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on this, work has been keeping me busy. Can anyone tell me if this is canon? I don't remember this at all...... It's the VF-1R I mentioned in the last post...

Let's see, to date I have the following orthos... F-14 VF-0S Cats Eye Fan Jet (Hikaru Type) Fan Liner F-203 Dragon II VF-1A VF-1J VF-1D VF-1S VF-1(x) Super VF-1(x) Strike VF-1R (I'm not sure if this is canon) VT-1 VE-1 VA-3 VF-4 VF-9 VF-11 VF-17 YF-19 VF-19A YF-21 VF-22S VF-3000 VF-5000 VF-2SS I made my own Dragon II, tell me what you think... ...it's based off of the 1/72 Tanman (sp?) resin model.

Does anyone have the side view lane art drawings for the Dragon II or the Cats-Eye?
