DatterBoy Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 All, I'm going to start doingmy VF-0D. Shouldn't probably start till I finish my Regault or the VF-1 but I feel like doing something new. Need some help. AlphaX helped me out with a few refs but I need more since I don't have anything solid to really work from. He gave me what looked like HASEGAWA scans but I need one higher. If anyone has the VF-0D prints and they can scan me a really high reso one, I'd love that. And any ref pics you may have would be great as well. Detail counts here folks! Thanks! :Dat Quote
AlphaHX Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) I told you to ask me if you need it to be higher res. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/uploads/po...-1116032135.jpg Edited May 14, 2005 by AlphaHX Quote
armentage Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 God I love this design! Soooo hot. Wish they had more footage of it in action (in battroid form especially) Quote
DatterBoy Posted May 14, 2005 Author Posted May 14, 2005 I told you to ask me if you need it to be higher res. Well in that case... got a cleaner scan that's even bigger? :Dat Quote
AlphaHX Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 I told you to ask me if you need it to be higher res. Well in that case... got a cleaner scan that's even bigger? :Dat I changed my first post. Thats the biggest I can make it. The original scan is much bigger but MW doesnt allow an attachment to be bigger than 1mb. Quote

Goshawk Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Oooos and Ahhhhs from me with a little bit of Drooling in there. Wow man keep up the good work Quote
DatterBoy Posted May 17, 2005 Author Posted May 17, 2005 Thanks Guys. Not sure if I can make this transformable without some major tweaking. I know that Hasegawa may do some interpretation for different modes to enhance the look, but I thought since the original was in CG on screen as well, it would be a print for print build out. Well, at least in preliminary, there are some components of transformation that either don't fit or I'm doing it wrong, specifically the nosecone and how far it pops p to elevate the head and the amoutn it extrudes up through the shoulder and coverage by the built in heatshield. Maybe it's me. At any rate, not having a physical toy or model is forcing me to interpret a lot of suff or just plain glaze over it. Hoping I can get some better references over time. More updates soon. MORE REFS IF YOU GOT EM!!! NEED MORE ANGLES TO FIGURE THIS PUPPY OUT! Looking for Battroid mode too, since the mode highlights the gemoetry of some pieces that are hidden in fighter mode. :Dat Quote
Knight26 Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 oooh great start on a rendition of my second favorite valk, right behind the YF-19. Quote
grss1982 Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 WoW!!!!! Right Clicks and Saves :-) Pretty nice work, can't wait for the finished product. Quote
Mr March Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Wow! This will be worth checking out regularly. You're off to a great start! Quote
grss1982 Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 (edited) Hey, Datterboy, just wanted to know if this is your work? thanks!!!! if it isnt, i hope your ends as good or even as better as this one. Anyway keep the vf-0d cg coming. Edited May 19, 2005 by grss1982 Quote
DatterBoy Posted May 20, 2005 Author Posted May 20, 2005 Actually, I think that is the official model used for the movie. Not sure, if it's not, then it's damn good! I can onlyhope mine looks as good. :Dat Quote
DatterBoy Posted May 21, 2005 Author Posted May 21, 2005 Just working out some basic shapes in the rear. Quote
DatterBoy Posted May 24, 2005 Author Posted May 24, 2005 Need head and backpack references as well as rear leg detail to go on any further. Most shots are of fighter mode and don't give too much on how those are supposed to look.. anyone? May start texturing soon just to see how it would look in color. One thing about modelling these vs the VF-1, the VF-1 was animated first by hand, so interpretation as to how it looks was really up to the artist whether it be toy or model. The VF-0 series is set.. no anime magic, so either you get it right or you don't... :Dat Quote
AlphaHX Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 These two pictures were really small. So this is all I have for now. Quote
Skypoet Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 wooohoo!!!! Is this battroid a conversion of the fighter kit? Or an upcoming model? Other pics? Please, I'm in need! Quote
AlphaHX Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 (edited) wooohoo!!!!Is this battroid a conversion of the fighter kit? Or an upcoming model? Other pics? Please, I'm in need! Someone kitbashed a vf-0d fighter kit to become variable. I wish it was a conversion kit or an upcoming kit. Anyways, heres another picture. Its pretty old, there was another thread where i posted a kitbashed variable sv-51 and vf-0s. Edited May 25, 2005 by AlphaHX Quote
promethuem5 Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Hooooooley Shiiite! That is un-freakin balievable.... I thoguht it was a CGI at first, and I was like 'wow, that looks really realistic) and then you said it was a kitbashed model, and all I can say is: WOW! Quote
Final Vegeta Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 How came the fan-made kit looks better than Yamato's VF-0S? FV Quote
Goshawk Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 OMG I love the Gerwalk!! well now I have some pics to go by to do mine thats is Alpha dosent mind. Quote
