kanata67 Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 i havent seen any lego creations, anyone wanna throw their hat into the ring? ill start... even though i suck gerwalk/fighter only, no arms, im kinda short on good parts that i can find 375001[/snapback] you must be new here. Do a search on lego macross and all sorts of cool stuff pops up. Variable vf-1s lego sets, destroid monster lego, zen battle pod lego, destroid defender lego, even a glaug lego [mine will be better when I get to it though ]. I'm sure there have been others as well. I warn you though that you better be buying lego's by weight if you want to do bigger projects, and the specialty pieces will kill you. Quote
Rocket Punch Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Why buy bulk when you can design a set on your computer? LEGO.com Factory Homepage Download the 3D virtual builder, place an order, and your custom kit will be delivered to your door with instructions and box! Quote
evirus Posted March 7, 2006 Author Posted March 7, 2006 meh..... i tryed "lego factory" didn't like it too much because of the part limitations (the program seperates them all into part sets and what your realy buying is a number of each set regardless of weather or not you used every single part in each set to make your model) also the way of putting the models together is rather odd in the program, id rather buy a bunch of parts and put it all together on the fly, by hand, which i have done when i was a kid but i didnt have a specific thing in mind i just wanted a bunch of different lego parts. maybe when i actualy get an income and what not ill start buying the bulk part sets and after a while of working out the deminsions i should be able to make one that fits the taller, more articulated(knee and elbow joints, ball socket for neck connection) technic figures Quote
X-Man III Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 You can see a my little work for a VF-01 Valkyrie full transformable lego model. I have put online all step by step instruction (you need MLCAD program)! go there http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=xman3 Quote
Solscud007 Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I like the use of the pirate skull and cross bones flag as the jolly roger for the tails. Quote

I may have to try building that, but I get the feeling that I don't have all the pieces. Quote
X-Man III Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Don't worry! In this site, BRICKLINK, youcan see a list of web-stores that sell all bricks you need!! I usually buy a lot of briks from MissingBricks or others!! Now I'm tring to do a VF-17 and a YF 19 with lego.... Quote

M'Kyuun Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I built a fully transformable VF-4, albeit stylized, that features perfect transformation to all three modes. This is the revised version; I took the original to BrickCon in Seattle back in October. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=523248 Quote

This is the revised version; I took the original to BrickCon in Seattle back in October. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=523248 Very nice! I like the VF-4 much better when it can move it's shoulders. Much more dynamic, great job! Quote
M'Kyuun Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Thanks, fellas. I agree with you, Kelsain. I have Yamato's VF-4, and it is so limited by those immovable shoulder nacelles. I wish they'd done the same. Alas, that's the beauty of creating your own. Quote
paramat Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Here's my VF-1. For this i prioritised proportions over a fully connected transformation, so the arms, legs, chest plate, canopy shield and tail fins are all detached and re-attached during transformation. The cockpit rotates and there is an escape hatch under the head. http://www.flickr.com/photos/11181786@N02/ Edited March 15, 2013 by paramat Quote
J.T. Silversmith Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I built a Lego version of an original design I called the VA-4 Peregrine. It is a VTOL Attacker designed and tested at the New Edwards Test Center on Eden. I intended it to be a contemporary of the VF-11 and the VA-3. I have a gallery on Deviant Art that has lots of pictures if you are interested. http://jtsilversmith.deviantart.com/gallery/45823764 Tell me what you think. Quote
dialNforNinja Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Very nice JT! Worthy of Kawamori-sensei himself. I love LEGO, but don't have the funds for them these days. That's what got me started on the 3d models originally, and look at where that led! Nowif I could just finish one before the next starts knocking on the inside of my skull trying to get out...

I find it amusing that it has an awful lot of overlap between the VF-1 and the VF-2SS (Leg positioning in fighter mode, mostly.) Oh wow, you have super packs and radomes and armor done for it too! This thing looks like a real bruiser as well. You should make a video of it transforming/moving around, so we can get a better idea how it works. Edited September 19, 2013 by Mommar Quote
Froy Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Battroid mode is awesome! Edited September 19, 2013 by Froy Quote
Mommar Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 It kinda reminds me of Patlabor actually... Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 WOW ! that`s way too awesome. Excellent. Quote
paramat Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 This is excellent, and even more interesting because it's an original VF design. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Straight up awesome. Great job on everything. That GBP armor made my jaw drop. Quote
mojacko Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 great lego work guys....very impressive!!! Quote
Swooshiex Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 i just found out that one VF-1J design has reached the review stage at Lego Cuusoo!!! http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/638 Am I the last to know?! Quote
