Hopefully sometime in 2017 would be good as it will be the 15th anniversary for Zero although the RA would count for that.

Just a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth. The primer and sprays look like they stick to the plastic pretty good as I scratched and dropped a few pieces without even fazing it. The Tamiya sprays are pretty hardy though I did give them a few days in between colors.

Finished VF-0B here and here. Finished VF-0C here. Hello. I always wanted both a VF-0B and a VF-0C but I doubt Arcadia will do them (though one can hope!). I bought extra D's and A's in the hopes that the canopies could be swapped so I could make both a B and C. Thankfully they could and posted a couple of pics in the toys section. Although they looked okay I thought "both of them need a paintjob" so here I am. Bear with me as I'm a noob at these things so some of the ways I do things might not be the best way but it worked for me. Some helpful tools to have are: Spudger/Pry tool kit for the tiny screw hole covers and areas that need a little gentle help. Roll pin set and a small hammer to access the pins in the swing bar and to separate the chest piece. Don't need to do this using the new way. Extra plastic containers with lids labeled to keep all the small parts together. Don't do what I did and leave them in ziplocs as I found out the hard way as my darling wife threw a bag of small parts out into the rubbish and I spent half a day sorting through bags looking for it First thing I did was to take apart as much of the valks as I could so that I could mask and paint. Here is a pic of it apart, primed with Tamiya fine grey, and sprayed in AS-16 light grey. The legs are together and hanging. The rest of the time was masking and painting the various colors. I decided not to do the SPW scheme and instead do the VF-8 theme in the Master File. I sprayed the nose and lighter colored parts AS-20 insignia white, TS-16 yellow, and TS-29 semi gloss. After I let everything dry I put it all back together. Here's some pics of it in gerwalk and fighter modes. There's still a lot of stuff I need to touch up and put on some decals but that's where I'm at now. Thanks for stopping by! Here is the scheme for the VF-0B: This is the VF-0C scheme: 3/13/17: I added on the VF-0C to this thread so that I don't need to do another one. Edit 3/22/17 VF-0B Colors: Tamiya fine grey primer, AS-16 light grey for the main color, AS-20 Insignia white for the lighter parts, TS-18 yellow and TS-29 Semi gloss black. TS-80 flat clear. VF-0C Colors: Tamiya fine grey primer, TS-81 Royal light grey for the main, AS-7 Neutral grey, TS-15 Blue, TS-16 Yellow, and TS-29 Semi gloss black. TS-80 flat clear. EDITED: 8/26/17 I want to thank fellow member Ratatarse as he also did conversions but had a different way of converting. The difference is that he showed an easier way to convert than the way I did it. All he did was swap the cockpit sections along with the cockpit shields. Disregard all the rest of the instructions as my method was trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Lol.

I'm liking that paint scheme.

Hmm, I thought that I remembered that before the server update and name change of the Facebook page we'd get updated info from the FB feed on the front page. The FB page had the latest info/news/pics from other sources condensed. There were the latest news/FB feed on the top, speaker podcasts, and/or cosplay sets or whatever category RSS that was pertinent. Maybe the permissions to post on the MW front page changed or whoever's in charge of the FB page needs to redo the link for updates? Edit: Here's some info about the FB name change taken from the "MW Back up! Please read!" thread: I think the site is still following along the lines like in the "About MacrossWorld" section.

Vague info as of now: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/44495-new-macross-tv-series-in-2018/ Could be anything not just Frontier as it has all main valks from each series in the teaser above (except Macross II).

Probably a Wonderfest limited Garage kit or something similar. I think the same one been on there for awhile.

This thread is for posting SOLD items or completed/finished auctions. You could add it to this post though.

What an awesome experience! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent idea! Sounds fun! I'd be down to give it a try.

I think a VF-11 renewal version would be better. The shoulder armor wouldn't work too well with the Yamatos unless they do the pegged shoulders like the RA. Make the B,C and D versions then the MaxL.

Good to know at least 2 members have one of those. Looks awesome with the flight deck diorama.

Mjolnir sounds cool too.

4 and 5 are 1/72 scale not 1/60 but seem fair. For reference: YF-21 http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=245 VF-11B http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=239

Chimera would be fitting.

I'm guessing 4 and 5 are the 1/72 versions. Pretty sweet deal if they're the 1/60 though!

Excellent! I'd name it Typhon or Kratos (Not the one from God of War).

no es posible

I'm doing a 1/60 repaint but haven't tried something like it before. I only did Xigrid's X-9 and that's about it for my experience though I do have some 1/72 destroid kits in storage. It's fun taking the valks apart and seeing how they designed things though.

Pengbuzz- Who cares what they think, this is your vision and as long as you're happy and enjoying the build then it's all good. I've started on a project too ( a little nervous as I'm a noob at these) but am enjoying all the little things that hopefully will make it all worth it in the end.
