Hervé Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Thanks ! Building is now over... painting time ! Edited March 30, 2014 by Hervé Quote
wm cheng Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 I remember building that back in high school... boy it brings back memories! Quote
MechTech Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Same here! I never saw the series, BUT I LOVED that design! I bought it reboxed as a Battletech "kit" (along with other great Macross and Crusher Joe kits). - MT Quote
AcroRay Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Oh, that's beautiful! I so wish those kits would be reissued... Quote
Cypher Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I nabbed a R2 copy of the Crusher Joe box set for a steal last summer. The OOP AnimEgo discs go for an INSANE amount considering it's just 3 vids. I remember the east coast sci-fi cons in the 80's would have an entire rooms selling anime kits, and there were always plenty of Crusher Joe models at every price. Wish I would have bought more than just the 1/60 hovercars.... Quote
Hervé Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Hello, thanks for your messages. Things are going quite well on the Minerva... Masking time : ... and painting is over Next steps : coat of future, decals, and future again. Thanks for reading. Regards, @+ Quote
electric indigo Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Looks great. Do you think your decals still work? I started making vector art of them and can dig them out if you want to print them for yourself. Quote
Hervé Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Looks great. Do you think your decals still work? I started making vector art of them and can dig them out if you want to print them for yourself. Thanks ! for the decals, I hope so... the sheet seems ok,. But, just in case, it would be great to have a spare option. your offer is much appreciated, thanks ! I would let you know. Hervé Quote
Hervé Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Hello ! Decals are in place, most of them. After many fears and mmmh... "bad words", here is the result : I have "lost" one of the red "J" supposed to be on the 2 vertical fins, but it is not a big issue I think. Nearly finished, see you for the final pictures.

Tober Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 WHAM have metal-finish versions of their Fighter 1 and Fighter 2 toys up for pre-order, if anyone cares for them. Quote
CrazyDude Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 At a hefty price as usual for a 1/100 Toy. Quote
DarrinG Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 The fighters are great, recommended. GIFS! click em' Quote
Tober Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 The fighters are great, recommended. I have the first release versions, which are nice. The metal finish just looks gaudy to me. Quote
Hervé Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Hello, Minerva is finished, few pics : Thanks for reading. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Great work, Herve. Those fighters bear a resemblance to the VF-4, minus the shoulders and legs. Quote
PetarB Posted April 21, 2014 Author Posted April 21, 2014 Those fighters were also in Macross -as a hidden easter-egg if I recall correctly! Quote
AcroRay Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Oh, that's a beautiful build! Thanks for sharing. I'm jelly! The classics... Quote
DarrinG Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 A metal finish Minerva has a bidder at 37,000! zoiks . . . https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-k176427561 Quote
Major Tom Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Great work, Herve. Those fighters bear a resemblance to the VF-4, minus the shoulders and legs. It's because Kawamori is the mech designer on Crusher Joe. Herve, you did such an awesome job on the Minerva. Way to go man Quote
DarrinG Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 GREAT Joe cel - someone should grab this! Would look awesome in a frame . . . https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-r116676358 Quote
electric indigo Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 I just stumbled upon this fantastic build of Crusher Joe's Cordoba: https://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/yatasith/GALLERY/show_image.html?id=69646836&no=0 Making of: https://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/yatasith/GALLERY/show_image.html?id=69644831&no=0 Note that this is not the Takara plastic kit, but a fairly large 1/2400 resin kit.

electric indigo Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Just got word from HLJ that Hasegawa will produce 1/72 kits of the Fighter-1 in their Creator Works line! I also wouldn't mind a Minerva in 1/200... Edited August 29, 2018 by electric indigo Quote

electric indigo Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Hmm, order two or wait for a release of the red one with an Alfin figure? Quote
mechaninac Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Oooo... That's from out of the blue, and very welcome. Here's hoping that the Siren and Harpy will get the same treatment. Quote
electric indigo Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 And Cordoba! Oh boy, so many awesome design in CJ, it really was ahead of it's time. Quote
electric indigo Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Fighter 1 at Shizuoka It looks kinda pointy & too straight from this perspective IMO. Quote
wm cheng Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 What?! That can't be the Hasegawa one could it? It looks horrible. Very disappointed. They look like "bandai" landing gears - argh. Quote
