whatcha think about a new VF head?

UN_MARINE · February 7, 2005

fugly,

yup, the whole VF design is mine

that's my notebook !!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

...er, at least an inverted image of my notebook :lol:

Zentrandude · February 7, 2005

hey fugly,
you mean this one?

dude, this one's my work notice the head?

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

although... i like AlphaHX 's better

I just relized the head could be used as the S version of the sw-xa1.

Fugly · February 7, 2005

Man, that is some hot stuff! The robot mode is great, the head is great...nice nice nice! I was wondering tho, do you have a Gerwalk mode?

My only critique about it (no offense!) would be that the back (top of the fighter) is a bit plain/flat. Maybe add some vents or curves or something? Then again, I couldn't draw anything better (only worse! :lol: )

UN_MARINE · February 7, 2005

hey thanks!

i don't have the gerwalk mode, (i can't find it :blink: )

looks like i'll just have to draw up a new one :lol:

thanks for the feedback btw,

yeah, it IS a little plain. i hadn't given it much attention at the time

maybe 'cuz i was busy drawing other stuff in my notebook :lol: :lol:

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

i guess a 1/55 head would be cool and a lot easier too since it'll be big and ugly.

i just said 1/48 cause i was hoping if we came to an agreement of some sort we could possibly get one of these heads made and then sell them here to MW'ers that want them.

this is all a bunch of marlarky at this point since i have no idea if who i have in mind(Rohby ) would be willing to take on the project?

i would like to find out what material i would have to sculpt the head with in order for it to be "castable" but no one has answered that question yet. <_<

slightly off topic but,

we got some good artists on the site don't we? i didn't think folks would go all out with their drawings/sketches, if i forgot to say it before, awesome work dudes. B))

rick randy,

anything goes, as long as theres a possibility of making it. it could take on the characteristics of another existing mecha head but something new and fresh would be equally cool. in the end, i'm hoping for a newly designed head that we MW'ers can slap on our 1/48s, you know, something unique just for us.

added:

so far, i like Zentrandude head design because of its simplicity and it would be easier to make. don't get me wrong fella's, the other heads that people posted RAWK but some of them would be too difficult to make.

added some more:

so far we got atleast 57 people that like the idea of having an officical MW VF head. most molds last for about 50 casts which means it could be profitable enough for someone to do. 50 pcs x $15(give or take, i don't know jack about the costs of casting) might make it worth while for one of our casters to get involved.

I agree. Geez. Mad skills. Nice drawings guys. Keep em coming.

Fugly · February 8, 2005

Hey UN, no prob. I'm sorry if I'm hi-jacking this thread though, seems like I have a talent for that... :rolleyes:

Anyhoo...for sculpting, you could use simple clay for a rough mock-up, and then make it in styrene (plastic board)? Of course, that'd be some hardass work, BUT! Us people at MW would friggin love our own 1/48 head. I would love to draw one, but my artistic "ability" is equal to about a five year olds...heh. And if we ever decide on a head, I'd like to take a shot at it (in plastic) but sadly, I don't have a 1/48....I don't have any valks...

ANYWAY! Babble babble babble...let's make sure we keep the heads comin ya?

you mean like me....

Fugly · February 8, 2005

Ha ha ha ha ha, yeah, that's about right :lol:

I can draw flat stuff though, and I'm relatively good at 3D stuff...but SO BAD at drawing...

Oh, and OT: Typing this on a new 12" iBook G4! Whooooo!

AlphaHX · February 8, 2005

Wow, not bad. I dont think I couldve drawn that when I was 5 years old. :lol:

Fugly · February 8, 2005

Exactly my point! :lol:

Opus · February 8, 2005

Alright, try not to laugh too hard.

UN_MARINE · February 8, 2005

that's pretty good, opus B))

that's pretty interesting, all the VF 1 heads rolled into 1 B))

i got something with that laser configuration too :lol: :lol:

somewhere....

do not disturb · February 8, 2005

Alright, try not to laugh too hard.

thats actually not bad at all, i kind of like it.

Dat Pinche Haro! · February 9, 2005

did this in a couple minutes...was bored and remembered about this thread...now that i look on it...looks a lot like a standard S head

I still say if one of the talented sculptors here wanted to do the "R" heads posted on the front page of this thread I would gladly buy at least one of each version in 1/48 scale. They would be too good to pass up for unique custom projects. THey may not be an "Original" macrossworld design, but they sure would make for some special valks.

goldenboy_forever · February 9, 2005

what about this head

sorry for such a big pic

from Rich

do not disturb · February 9, 2005

damn thats one awful looking head. :blink:

it sort of reminds me of "rocky dennis's" head.

Dat Pinche Haro! · February 9, 2005

awww...my picture ended up being the last post of the previous page...this blows <_<

goldenboy_forever · February 9, 2005

I think it would look nice on a yamato elint seeker if they come out with one

awww...my picture ended up being the last post of the previous page...this blows

just edit

That looks a lot like a VF-2SS head to me. :huh:

Nice head btw... and nice drawing. Good stuff.

awww...my picture ended up being the last post of the previous page...this blows

Haha, yeah, I hate it when that happens too.

Fugly · February 9, 2005

hey Dat Pinchy Haro, that's pretty slick. Though it might be to "advanced" to fit nicely onna vf1? But nice head, otherwise...

Agent ONE · February 9, 2005

Those alphaX head looks like a mix of the vf-1s head and the vf-19 kai head, not to be negative about your work but I think it wil looks like ass in fighter/gerwalk mode.

VFs with faces = Ultimate lameness.

right on bro. right on.

AlphaHX · February 9, 2005

Are you two just bored and need to find another thread to trash since the other one was closed?

Seriously, as amusing as I find you two are, you two need to stop hi-jacking other threads. :angry:

Go start a trash mac7 thread and hope that you can convince a mod to sticky it.

We are discussing VF heads... Thats the point of the thread. Relax I won't mention all the other reasons M7 blows a dead poodle.

do not disturb · February 10, 2005

alright folks nothing to see here.

chill out homies, i know A1 kind of harsh and takes some getting use to, but hes a nice guy if you don't take his posts too seriously. 95% of the time, hes just joking yet people always get riled up by him. :unsure: just a weird sense of humor i guess.

Zentrandude · February 10, 2005

hehe anyways. heres an alternate to my first head design.

the two head missiles should be able to stick out enough in gerwalk so if the pilot wants to use them he can.

Fugly · February 10, 2005

Horny! Sorry, couldn't help myself... Why head missiles though, wouldn't machine guns or lasers work better? Just curious...

Zentrandude · February 10, 2005

longer range and its a backup weapon in case its all the ammo is exasted. Also for a recon type head the missiles can replaced with something from like battletech's narc beacon missile or a remote operated camera missile. Besides head lasers are overused in macross and something differn't should be used.

Opus · February 10, 2005

It kinda looks like a scuba diver with a snorkle.

It's OK though mine looks like a goat's head. <_<

Zentrandude · February 10, 2005

heh i should change the antena so it doesn't look like a snorkel.

JB0 · February 10, 2005

Could someone make one based off of that animation error with a 1A head with 1J lasers mounted on it...
