Looking great so far!!! Keep up the good work

As much as I'd like to mod my 1/48's, something tells me that "if it can go wrong, it will go wrong".

Yep, we can have a VF-1 orgy nowadays And we can hope Yamato is going to exploit the non VF-1 market for us "always unsatisfied customers".

Call me old fashioned but I love this gun. The German Embassy gave it as a present to my father and now he gave it to me!! A 9mm Carl Walther P 38, it's a great gun. I normally don't show guns but just a pic for the Transformers fans (if you know what I mean) :

Welcome to the board Sadly, Bandai has no plans to reissue the Strike, Elint and Ostrich

I need to get my MW post count up Now I must wait patiently for Rob's next updates

EXO, Rob tore up the legs of a VF 1S!! Take a better look at the pix Great work Rob it's turning up really nice!!!

I forgot to add that owing both lines is a "win win" situation. I voted that Yamato toys are getting better, but when the 1/48's came out I told to myself: this is "THE" toy, but the 1/60's look more accurate to the lineart. The 1/48's have better fast packs, the VF 1S head is the best rendition ever created and of course they have "perfect transformation". So when the 1/48's came out were they better than the 1/60's? Yes and no, better detailed, bigger, with tighter joints, with a smooth sculpt and barely any seam lines, but not as good proportioned as the 1/60's. That's my 2 cents for all that matters.

So true, so true I remember the discussion on the old board about the "mosquito nose" from the 1/60's (people complained it was too thin). But that is what it makes it closer to the lineart than the 1/48's. The canopy from the 1/48's is really messed up (it's too wide and ruins the front view of the fighter). Look at this pic then take your 1/60's and 1/48's and judge which one looks closer to the lineart (this view ruins my 1/48's, I never get used to the ultra wide canopy):

I second that!!! I really enjoy looking at all of my 1/60's (Q-Rau and GBP included). It's a great line. I believe Billy Wong has done a good job.

No way the Q-Rau is a better toy than any of the 1/48's. I just pointed out that it's a pretty good toy (it is more than a decent toy). I stated I had nothing to say about the 1/48's because they speak for themselves. I'm aware that speaking about the Q-Rau there are three mayor complaints, the price, the pilot, lack of die-cast. I share some of this thoughts but none of this ruined my enjoyment of this toy. The sculpt is perfect, so is the design. Even my two GBP armor have tight armor round the nosecone (many members reported that it pops out very often!). I do respect your opinion that you prefer any of the other 1/60's to the Q-Rau. I myself enjoy all of my 1/60's (own the whole line) even after buying the 1/48's (don't own them all). I always ask for accuracy, durabilty and last, but not too important, playlability. I would say Yamato makes two steps forward and one step back (the VF-0), but it still keeps on walking (insert your favorite scotch here ) I think we agree that the König will be the bomb!!

I'm speechless Jesse Great work!!!!

I'm among the group that think Yamato toys have gotten better. "The VF-0 is the exception that confirms the rule" -The Mac Plus valks were okay (except from the VF 11 with osteoporosis). -The 1/60 line got better with every release (I do believe the Q-Rau is a great toy, pricey but sculpt-wise it is perfect, and very playable, IMO). My two GBP 1S are perfect, balance well, click and fit very nice (I also think the sculpt is very accurate to the line art). -The 1/48 line, what can I say!! (I'll only can nitpick in certain areas where I like the proportions of the 1/60 better, such as length and bulk of the arms and a sleeker nosecone and canopy, again IMHO). Now, the König Monster will leave us speechless (if it doesn't, I have no problem to be stoned to death for this assumption ). It's an intricate design and I believe Yamato has pulled it off "almost" reaching perfection. I disagree with people on the other thread that don't like it's battroid mode. It is as good as a 3D model can be (I'm open to discussion). I don't get how people say that it does not resemble the line art in this mode. Is it as off, as a Toynami MPC to the VF 1 series? Please, don't answer yes to this one. Talking about QC, there are some issues now and then. Some acceptable some not, but all in all I think Yamato passed the exam. Should Yamato sit back and relax? Hell no!!!! There is always room for improvement Well, that's my 0,02 cents for all that matters.

It looks like Lynn Minmay to me, although I'm not %100 sure. Sorry I can't help much more

I'm hoping that too I think Yamato should venture a little more in the 1/60 SDF Macross line. It was stated in the old forums that this line was pretty much done apart from one or two more releases (Q-Rau and GBP as they turned out to be). I guess the Q-Rau is doing good (hence there's a Max release on the horizon). But Yamato shouldn't stop there. They should test the destroids and enemy mech arena in 1/60. We have currently one DYRL? type enemy mech (Q-Rau). Why not the male armor (Nousjadeul-Ger)? I know it's not amongst the favorites (it's surely among mine ). DYRL? Glaug does not exist, and the green Regults are a bit of an obscure mecha, but the TV version of the Regult would sell like hotcakes. When talking about destroids (excluding the vaporware Monster) they are a safe bet to complete the 1/60 line. Then as Graham pointed out we have other licenses such as M7, 2012 Flashback (the VF-4), VFX-2, M3 to name a few.

Give the 1/60 GBP 1S a try. We don't know if Yamato is going to make it in 1/48 scale. Bought two GBP armors from Kevin and I'm really happy. Very sturdy, everything clicks and snaps together fine. It´s also very accurate to the line art (better proportioned than a possible 1/48 version would be, IMO). The 1/60 battroid is better proportioned (not sculpt wise). Well that's my two cents.

This is when I take a seat, relax and wait for the pix You are doing great Rob, take the time you need!!

Good work so far!!!! Keep us updated

I don't think it can. If the drone attached only to the backplate of the VF 0 one could think that the transformation may be possible. But still the backpack could not fold against the backplate in battroid mode. A half gerwalk mode (without folding the back pack) should be OK.

Looks really great, nice mod. Makes the lasers look more authentic.

Thanks for the pics! I didn't know they had inner detail. Really cool Mecha!!! Now I think it's time for Yamato to make 1/60 Destroids and a 1/60 DYRL Nousjadeul-Ger (the Queadluun-Rau needs it's male counterpart!!).

Looking really good Gorgon

I only want Hikaru's VF 1S and I'm pretty sure there will be a second run!

Sorry, forgot to thank Graham for the picture. Thanks for sharing it with us!!!!!!

Guess i´ll be stoned for saying this but actually I like the dengeky picture much more than the proto. The proto looks very stiff, it´s legs are very static, the colored version looks more posable, it has more life to it. I´m so getting this toy!!!! Well, that´s my 0,02 cents
