eugimon Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 sweet... looks like it sticks a little further out but totally livable.. I would be very interested in a recast... if I still had my 1/60 vf-1s... Quote
Hurricane29 Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 It looks awesome, great job getting the real look of the S head. Quote
KiriK Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 wow... mad props for the head mod.... thats all i can say... sign me up for a recast head!!! Quote
KiriK Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 ooo... what kinda sandpaper do u use?? or do use one of those electric drill sanders?? Quote
AlphaHX Posted March 22, 2005 Author Posted March 22, 2005 (edited) Wow, thanx for the compliments guys. I did this mod for kicks. I didnt think you guys would actually want it recasted. I was actually two seconds away from considering to sell my 1/60 VF-1S just cuz I just got a 1/48 VF-1S... my first 1/48 too. But I must admit, I'm starting to like it more now. I might keep it. Like I said before, if someone wants to find a recaster for this, I'll be more than willing to lend my head out. Just let me know. I'm still relatively new here compared to some of you guys here and most the casters I know are already doing their own thing. Hey, did you use the "squashed" head to build up your new one? Yeah, actually I did. You can tell that I did by looking at the odd antennas. ooo... what kinda sandpaper do u use?? or do use one of those electric drill sanders?? I just used some 320 grain sandpaper that I think I bought at like... Sears a bunch of years ago. I do have a dremel but I didnt think it was necessary to use a electric sander on such a small head. I did use the dremel on my 19 battroid project tho. As for the VF-1S head, I just sanded it with plain sand paper. I just gotta find a higher grain sand paper and this head will be ready to go. Oh yeah, if anyone wants more pictures of the fighter mode or any other mode, let me know. I actually have some free time! My finals are over today! Well, I have one more tomorrow but its a paper and I'm pretty much done. YAAAAAY!!! IM ALMOST FREEEEE!!! Edited March 23, 2005 by AlphaHX Quote

promethuem5 Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 Brag while you can Alpha, brag while you can.... I'll just make sure to laugh at your funeral when you die four years before me Quote
AlphaHX Posted March 23, 2005 Author Posted March 23, 2005 Brag while you can Alpha, brag while you can.... I'll just make sure to laugh at your funeral when you die four years before me Hahahaha!!! When I die at the age of like... 80 and youre 76... I doubt you'll be laughing. Hahahha... I wasnt bragging. I was just... informing kiririth. Quote
promethuem5 Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 I'll just be happy to still be able to laugh at that age! Quote
AlphaHX Posted March 23, 2005 Author Posted March 23, 2005 how about some info on that 19? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=13494 Quote
AlphaHX Posted March 23, 2005 Author Posted March 23, 2005 (edited) I've been asked a few times about recasting the VF-1S head as well as my 19. Yes... I'm actually surprised. Truthfully, before I go off asking recasters, is there actually enuf interest for either my VF-1S head or my 19 for it to be recasted? I really doubt anyone will be willing to go thru the trouble of recasting either one if only 2 gets sold. I just want to make sure theres an actual demand for these before I ask around.

Solscud007 Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 Hey Alphahx you are a local OC guy right? I should introduce you to Rohby. He is a great guy and a skilled recaster. Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 Great Job, AlphaX. What other projects have you got in the works? Quote
jardann Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 Yeah AlphaHX I'd be interested in a couple of those recast 1S heads if that can happen. That's quite an improvement. I was getting rid of my 1/60s, but I've waffled and would liek some improved heads for the ones I've kept. I'll keep my eyes out for a recast interest head. Quote
AlphaHX Posted March 23, 2005 Author Posted March 23, 2005 (edited) well why not start a new thread to see if theres interest? depending on the cost, i'd be down to purhcase atleast 5 of them. I was thinking about that but before starting a new thread I wanted to just double check if it was even worth doing that. Great Job, AlphaX.What other projects have you got in the works? I'm still way overdo on the DVD covers that I said I was going to work on here in this thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...pic=13075&st=80 I'm also still working on wallpapers here and there in this thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...533;entry272382 As for toy/model related stuff. I'm still working on my posable Hase YF-19 Battroid kitbash. For my next toy mod, I want to fix the ugly connecters for the 1/60 legs. (where the blue circles are below) It looks like it has a tumor... Edited March 23, 2005 by AlphaHX Quote
valhary Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 I also think the only bad point of the v1 is the head so tested a v2 and I do not look bad at all in fact reminds me the hasegawa version Quote
valhary Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Finally recast the head without the hole in the neck connector so after drill can use the same screw and it seems to work right and I think improves the v1 look at least for the Battroid mode Quote
