whatcha think about a new VF head?

UN_MARINE · February 2, 2005

hey! my pic's finaly visible :lol: ...and un-inverted :blink:

i'll get around to building that (at least the head) eventually...

strider hiryu,

NICE !!! i think your design brings the best of the froatin' head's works:

macross & armored core

kensei · February 2, 2005

Hey UN_MARINE, I love that head design of yours. It brings in what I love and out something I hate about the VF-1A head. I totally diggin the singular visor "eye" you used and the singular head laser. While I believe that it is simular to the YF-19/VF-19A head, it is a lot simpler and quite a unique design.

Actually, can be make a MW Exclusive Gunpod too? :rolleyes: maybe make a shield for the battroid mode and have it attached/combined to the gunpod while in fighter mode as it is not possible to mount it anywhere else. It could clip on using the mount that is used for the NP-AR-01 FAST Pack mount. This could bring out not just only a MW exclusive head, but a MW exclusive VF-1 Variant.

here's a concept for a head, i always liked this type of design so it was quite a quick one except for the painting, hope you like it.

its an eva valkerie

Now that I think baout it... :mellow:

striderhiryu · February 3, 2005

even if it looks like eva actually i did not base in that, instead there were many inspirations for this:

death star gunner helmet

Sv-51 face

assault suits valken

armored core

euro fighter prototype helmet

and there is more, just that there is something i like about those designs, the only type of head i hate is anything that looks like a samurai helmet on a mecha like i.e. gundam, except for some like the ashtray red.

by the way this head would look awesome on a VF-19S giving it a more intimidating look.

striderhiryu · February 3, 2005

forgot to say this, UN MARINE that VF design looks great with a stelth feel to it, quite reminecent to the VF-EX esperimetal series.

First thing I thought when I saw that pic was Eva-03 as well.

actually thats not bad at all. it looks pretty cool and it doesn't look like it would be impossible to make either. B))

Fugly · February 3, 2005

OOh...pretty but simple...very nice man!

But why stop there?!? Why not make a 1/48 Custom Valk! MWA HA HA HA HA!!!

Oh yeah. Heya!

striderhiryu · February 3, 2005

here's another design. did it under 10 minutes on my notebook, hope you like it too. (this one looks less than an EVA).

by the way, that VF-1MW looks sweet, just like the R-1 head in SRW alpha.

zeo-mare · February 3, 2005

excellent work i should use some of my art talents and see if i can come up with something soon.

striderhiryu · February 3, 2005

if any one can help me, i heard in this trhead that there is a macrossworld official color scheme. if anyone can provide me with an image i'll appreciate it. i'm gonna order a couple of VF-19's from bandai and want to paint one in such a color scheme and if a head design is elected then i'll see if i can get a friend in my city to make me a sculpt. the other one will be in a dark gray and black and try to make a head like the one in my last picture.

UN_MARINE · February 3, 2005

i'm glad you guys like it

here's a better view of the head

...and did i read "BUILD THE GUNPOD" ?

:lol:

man, i hope the pic will show this time around :rolleyes:

Montarvillois · February 3, 2005

This one could be called the "Valkphonse" head

feels very 80's, something you would see on japanese tv at the time, probably more juju-ranger, like

Its like a 1S that wants to be a YF-19 head.

I like it... well... since my favorite Macross heads are the 1S and the 19 heads. Heheheh... I'm getting the best of both worlds now.

Forehead looks a bit empty tho... maybe put the square on it like the one on the 19?

Ooo... nice drawing. I like.

It kind of reminds me of the Metal Gear Solid Ray head. I dunno why... I cant quite put my finger on it... :huh:

That would cool on the 19 but I really don't like how the bullet chain is hanging out on the side. Is that a bullet chain?

striderhiryu · February 4, 2005

yes it is a bullet chain, it only sticks out in battroid mode according to my original idea since otherwise when transforming to battroid it would not fit in the head area pit, it would also keep the thing cold to prevent over-heat and protect the internal sensors from the heat, and the machine gun purpose is mainly anti-personel.

striderhiryu · February 4, 2005

here's the VF-1 god of death:

AlphaHX · February 4, 2005

here's the VF-1 god of death:

From this angle, it looks a LOT like a YF-19... with an extended chin and an extendable side panel.

From how things are heading, it looks like the "official" mw head is going to pretty much be a psuedo YF-19 head on a VF-1. I always did like how the YF-19 head looked.

actually, it's more like a YF 19 head with the 1s faceplate :lol:

thanks for the input, AlphaHX but to be honest, i like the forehead that way.

afterall, i consider it an 'A' head... the 'S' is still in my head somewhere :lol:

Either way is fine.

I'm for anything thats psuedo YF-19 on the the VF-1 body. Heheheh...

EXO · February 4, 2005

As great as the designs are, I just feel non canon heads seem too... Robotechie... I'm scathed by that damn VF-1R blasphemy.

UN_MARINE · February 4, 2005

BTW...

i don't wanna do anything TOO radical with these heads, so i'm sticking with familiar lines

the heads are gonna go on a VF 1 afterall, and anything 'advanced' just won't look right. ...you get the idea, right ?(points to VF 1R *COUGH COUGH*)

and... the head really belongs to the body in the previous page

in the end, i'm just doodling :lol:

it's not like HG's gonna make an official variant out of it.... and it'll be a cold rainy day in hell before i let 'em :angry: :lol:

uh the front view looks too much liek Ultramagnus or some other TF.

mechaninac · February 4, 2005

TFs ...that's funny, I actually had the Ingram, VF-2SS, and GMs in mind as inspirations for that drawing. Oh well, it still needs a lot of refinement.

Zentrandude · February 4, 2005

I like to submit this one. Its not a military type head but more like a civian type reporter or maybe a intelligence gathering type. one side has a high power camera with mic and the other side is a heavly armored transmitter antena.

its still rough draff but ill improve it later on.

Jasonc · February 4, 2005

Not to stray too far from topic, but does it just have to be for the 1/48s? What about a 1/55 version?

Fugly · February 5, 2005

Dangit, I really like AlphaHX's valk (is that original or from something?) and UN MARINE's head...sigh...

AlphaHX · February 5, 2005

Heh heh... I like mine and UN MARINE's too. But then again I'm biased so who am I to talk. :rolleyes:

UN_MARINE · February 5, 2005

hey fugly,

you mean this one?

dude, this one's my work :lol: notice the head? B))

AlphaHX was kind enough to re-post the image, thanks, dude !!!!

although... i like AlphaHX 's better :lol:

Edited February 5, 2005 by UN_MARINE

Fugly · February 6, 2005

Hah hah, I really like the bear head on the Vf-19[?] :lol: ...where'd you get that?

Oh yeah, and UN MARINE I was wondering if the whole mech was your's, or if just the head was? I really like the intake vents...

Rick Randy · February 6, 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.

what did you mean by "new" designed" heads?

I am unclear on this subject.

did you mean and improvement on head that exist for toys

ie, rediesigned vf-1s head

or a completely new head sort of a "prototype"

experimental valk head??
