do not disturb Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 so messin around with rohbys S recasts got me wondering.... we got an official MW paint scheme so why don't we design our own official VF head? i was thinking, maybe we could have a design contest for the coolest head. nothing to elaborate, nothing to simple, but something thats cool looking and can be made fairly easily. people could post pics of their sketches/designs and we could have a poll/vote to see which one gets made. i'm not sure of all the details or if its even possible to make something like this or who would be willing to make it and sell the finished product but i thought it would be kind of a cool. maybe if theres enough interest, we'll be lucky enough to get one of our veteran casters to volunteer to take this project. any thoughts are welcome.

Dat Pinche Haro! Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 (edited) sure...why not i wouldn't mind a VF-1SR head (sorry for bein' a lil off topic) Edited January 19, 2005 by Dat Pinche Haro! Quote
Graham Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 How about a VF-1A head, with two extra lasers stuck on the side. We could give it our own official designation an all......oh no wait, Toynami already did that . I say somebody does a 3D scan of Shawn's head so that Capt America could do a realistic sculpt of Shawn and we use that as the official MW 1/48 head. Shawn, what do you think buddy? Graham Quote

EXO Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Here you go... I whipped these up really quick... Quote
Die, Alien Scum! Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 (edited) Here you go... I whipped these up really quick... Â They all look great, >EXO<! Especially the 1A with the whole "Predator-jaw-thing" goin' on! Hell, I may have to try to make one of those myself! Edited January 19, 2005 by Die, Alien Scum! Quote

VF-1JR, VF-1SR, VF-1AR.....they're from the Macross 2036 game from like a decade or more ago Quote
cambodian tire Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 (edited) Any excuse to see more customs I think the one on the right the coollest EXO nice artwork Great idea Haterist now find some volunteers to lend their expertise and we're off Edited January 19, 2005 by cambodian tire Quote
promethuem5 Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Hey man, I like the contest idea.... wouldn't mind trying out one for myself. What's the backstory on the R series heads anyways? They look remoteley interesting.... Quote
Ghadrack Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 I like the idea a lot, and I love those "R" heads, if you could manage to get a good sculpt of them for casting I would be interested in them. An official Macrossworld paint scheme and valk variant would be super cool Quote
LtStick Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 I like these but a contest would produce some interesting results. Go with the contest. Quote
Opus Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 I'm compelled to pick the second option. I'm just contrary by nature. Quote
Zentrandude Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 think some of the dynamite 7 vf-1 heads looks interesting. Quote
Neova Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Damn... Now I have to find more VF-1Xs to customize... What about the VF-1 X Plus from Macross VF/X2? Did that have a different head too? Quote
do not disturb Posted January 19, 2005 Author Posted January 19, 2005 that 1A head EXO posted looks pretty darn cool, much better than the 1A head we got now thats for sure. dudes, don't get fixed on making a head that looks similar to existing VF heads, something totally new and original would be just as cool. either way, keep'em coming.

phoenix01 Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 (edited) We could do the YF-1R Jack type. It could have a LED in the head (getting ready to dodge anything thrown at me.) Seriously though it sounds great so long as it comes attached to a VF-1 1/48 of its own. I only got one and Roy's head is staying right where it is. Edited January 19, 2005 by phoenix01 Quote
Godzilla Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 I dont what you guys see in the Jack Archer YF-1R head. It is fugly to me. Now a new head sculpt would be good. I would like to see a VF-1A TV head made. Quote
Sundown Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 I would like to see a VF-1A TV head made. YESS! And then we could have some perfect TV Max and CF VF-1A customs made! -Al Quote
Gabe Q Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 I would like to see a VF-1A TV head made. I second that. A TV 1A head is distinctly different. I want it. I must have it... Quote
scand Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Where are you getting your stash? From HG? Quote
Die, Alien Scum! Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 looks like some people fell for it... I thought it was pretty obvious... Yep, I fell for it. You'll have to forgive my ignorance since I've never played the 2036 game. Please don't stone me; I do a fine job of that myself! LOL! But it still looks cool, dammit! Quote
JB0 Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Hey man, I like the contest idea.... wouldn't mind trying out one for myself. What's the backstory on the R series heads anyways? They look remoteley interesting.... Not much backstory. They come on updated VF-1s seen in the game Macross 2036. Which is a non-canon PCEngine title that doesn't fit continuity. The 1Rs also have integrated FAST packs. http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/macross2036/ There's some pics of the mechs... http://www.gearsonline.net/macross/2036.php And some more... Game's fun to play, though the lack of free transformation is a strike against it. And if I recall correctly, this game stars Komillia, making it the closest anyone has to information on her. Quote
kensei Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I for one would love to see both. I would buy at least 14 TV VF-1A heads to trick out my valkyries with. I could have true TV Max, CF and Kakizaki customs. I would alos love the idea of a MW head too. We should also get some decals to go with it, and personalise the valk with Member number and handle. That would be fully sick. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I think Bandai/Yamato should make Macross 2036 figures , What happen to Macross-II VF`s didn`t Yamato say that are gonna make`em ! Quote
connor99 Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Black Valkyrie Posted on Jan 20 2005, 10:19 AM I think Bandai/Yamato should make Macross 2036 figures , What happen to Macross-II VF`s didn`t Yamato say that are gonna make`em ! Yes, the MACROSS-II VF's head design's definitely cool ! Quote
DatterBoy Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Anyone got a 1A head TV vs Movie head shot for a side by side look? I'd like to see the difference. :Dat Quote
Sundown Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 On the topic of customizing heads, I wouldn't mind a slightly resculpted VF-1J head either. There was one floating around on the web that reworked the head to give it even more accurate proportions-- beefy and more robust, fuller chin and taller profile, straight out of the anime. That, I'd like to see. Here's the link again... http://f11.aaa.livedoor.jp/~gazouup/1jhead.html -Al Quote
Gabe Q Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Anyone got a 1A head TV vs Movie head shot for a side by side look? I'd like to see the difference.:Dat This is the best I can come up with. The DYRL head is leaner and more angular versus the TV head which is rounder. Quote
estacado06479 Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 if Kid-k was back here he could show you guys what he had been working on, I'm pretty sure it included a new head design. For new heads, why not some of the ones from the model magazines Graham used to put up? The platypus, for one, was a complete redesign Quote
