Weltall Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Almost done with this, I just need some autobot symbols and paint over the black line on the sides of the fuselage. Ps. I know I suck at taking pictures. Where it belongs. Quote
zeo-mare Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 you beat me to it. i was always wanting to do one as well. very good job i cannot wait to see it finished. chris Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) Now that's a Transformer!!! Great Job! ***Don't forget to place the autobot rub-sign on the head. Edited April 20, 2005 by nightmareB4macross Quote
KiriK Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 wow.... frickin nice!!! haha... i want one!!! Quote
Dangard Ace Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Sweet! Now send that pic to Hasbro so they can license the mold from Yamato and release it in North America as MasterPiece Jetfire!! (like that's ever going to happen) Great Jetfire though. Now I know what to do with my Super Armor from my 1J if I get another 1S. Quote
ManxoChu Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Friggin' awesome!! Just one suggestion: Use the heatshield and place the Autobot symbol there. That way it kinda follows the Alt line's thinking of hiding as many faction symbols as possible in alt/vehicle mode. XD Quote
johnkillingsworth Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 That's awesome!!! Very nice work on the paint scheme, it looks toit! I second the red, Autobot heatshield just to see how it looks. Put in a TF colored pilot, too! Quote
goldenboy_forever Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) Great job on the painting love the red over the nose cone area can't wait to see it with the heat shield on here is a pic of some elses jet fire don't know whos it is though. I like your better from Rich Edited April 20, 2005 by goldenboy_forever Quote
goldenboy_forever Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) sorry double post Edited April 20, 2005 by goldenboy_forever Quote
Godzilla Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Very nice indeed. I third the motion for a red Autobot heat shield. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 wow, that looks dope!! I hope you don't panel line it. For some reason jetfire looks better without the panel lines. It just doesn't look right. Good job on it! what else do you have to do to it? Quote
connor99 Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Man, both customs look tight !! I wish I had enough patience and skills to make my very own custom !!! Excellent work, you guys! Quote
kanata67 Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 what mech said. now jetfire just needs some gbp Quote
Mr March Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Hehehe, that's really weird, but very well done. I especially like the lack of a heat shield, just like my old Jetfire toy. So strange to see a 1/48 version. Kinda surreal Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 very nice. add the skull on the heat shield1 Quote
valkyrie312 Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Nice work! Congrats! BTW, I agree - put the Autobot symbol on the heatshield. David Quote
mechatek Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Toit custom! :thumbs up: In the group pic, you have Jazz's (Meister) feet backwards. Quote
CdnShockwave Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 That is a freakin sweet. Being a TF fan that is just so cool. Quote
Godzilla Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Question though... why use the DYRL armor? Didnt Jetfire get the TV armor? Quote
ManxoChu Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I'm guessing it was the only armor he had to work with at the time. Such fine details are the kind only us Macrossboys (and Macrossgirls) really notice. Purist TFans usually don't notice upon first glance unless they're also Macross fans. Quote
Weltall Posted April 20, 2005 Author Posted April 20, 2005 Friggin' awesome!! Just one suggestion: Use the heatshield and place the Autobot symbol there. That way it kinda follows the Alt line's thinking of hiding as many faction symbols as possible in alt/vehicle mode. XDI am thinking about this, but the red I used is different than the the heatshield's stock red. Anyone have tips on how to paint a heatshield?Toit custom! :thumbs up: In the group pic, you have Jazz's (Meister) feet backwards. It's more G1 style IMO , but Zoom Zoom's are instructionally correct.Question though... why use the DYRL armor? Didnt Jetfire get the TV armor? Yamato doesn't sell TV packs seperately I don't think, but if they did i would have used those instead.Anyways, thanks for all the feedback, I didn't think it would get this much attention. Quote
Ido Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Nice custom. OT Glad to see one of my favorite mech in your avatar, too bad there isn't any toy or model about such interesting mecha design. Quote
ManxoChu Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Anyone have tips on how to paint a heatshield? No clue really, but I'm sure the various customizers here will know, such as Cheng-sama and Kurt-sama. Glad to see one of my favorite mech in your avatar, too bad there isn't any toy or model about such interesting mecha design. As a Xenogears fan, I'd love for there to be a Weltall model/toy as long as it retains its Id mode/tranformation. XD Unfortunately it'd prolly only come about as a scratch-build or a kitbash of any model previously made, if any. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Funny how back in the old days people would customize Jetfires to Macross VFs and now it's vice versa. Who'd 'uve thunk it? Still a great looking custom. Quote
Godzilla Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Funny how back in the old days people would customize Jetfires to Macross VFs and now it's vice versa.Who'd 'uve thunk it? Still a great looking custom. Really? Maybe becausee their Jetfires were beat up? Quote

1994cobra Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Thats truly incredible.. Amazing Job. The attention to detail is astounding. Jetfire, back in the day, is what got me into Macross in the first place.. I used to own 2 Jefires back in the 80's.... (which for a 10 year old, was alot!) He was BY FAR my favorite toy.... My Korean Neighbor had two Jetfires that were Red and green..(We all know them as Joon's but back in the day, they were Jetfire knockoffs to us) Anyway, we used to have the Joons Valkyries fight it out with my armoured Jetfire all the time.. By the late 80;s I realized that Jetfire was actually a knockoff of the Valkyries used in Robotech.. and so began my facination with Robotech.. And Later, Macross.. During the late 90's, during the "Valk craze", I used to find a restore Jetfires. Right now, up on my Bookshelf, there are 5 MINT in box and 1 not so mint, Jetfires, and I still cherish them.. My 1/48's are my ultimate modern treasure, but I still love my old classic 1/55 based Jetfires.. They are what started it all for me. Quote
eugimon Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 ooooh.. I love these jetfire conversions! keep them comming.. I hope they do an binaltech/alt jetfire as well... but this is one nice custom! Quote
promethuem5 Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Purrrrrrrty.... looks real nice. As for teh heatsheild, I believe that there are a few corners that need to be sanded on the underside of the chest plate. It'll look awesome with an Autobot symbol on the hs... Looks real nice so far. Quote
