MechTech Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 I'm doing some catching up and this is looking good! - MT Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Sooo, the 22 is coming out now, i do hope your going to complete this! You've done so much cool work, we all want to see it finished when you have the time. Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted May 2, 2009 Author Posted May 2, 2009 Yea... I'm still working on this project. XD Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 I'm sure this pieces will have better detail... Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted June 4, 2009 Author Posted June 4, 2009 Update I've had to put this project off the past two weeks because I had to do some cleaning of my work area. Apparently I failed to remember the warnings of working with super glue and even working with styrene sheets. My allergies have been killing me last week. I went out and purchased the 3M Respirator mask and decided to work with my vent fan on (instead of having my window open). I have some progress pics of the progress which I've made in the middle to the end of May. I'm planning on re-working the front sections of the bay doors. I'm just not happy with how they're sitting (not angled enough to meet the rest of the body). Quote
Kicker773 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I hope i'm on top of that list when you mass produce these!!! Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 Don't worry I'll still be making these even though Yamato is suppose to release their VF-22, but probably not as many. Not sure... I'll have to see about the demand. When I'm ready to cast these I'll be checking in with everyone to see if they're still interested. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Great job mate, awesome work!! Edited June 7, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
ipaq1940 Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 great job! unfortunately it was ruined by official VF-22 . but maybe not... can you create only canopy shield for VF-22 regular? it could be attached with magnets: one drowned in the shield, the other inside the cockpit. in this way we must not replace standard canopy That is my idea to make Perfect Transformation VF-22 really Quote

This is a great project. I bet we may end up liking this version better than the official Yamato release. Keep up the good work. Quote
Uxi Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Good stuff. In addition to a canopy shield, another item you might want to consider are intake duct "wells" that cove up the turbine blades we never saw before Yamato 1/60. Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted November 12, 2009 Author Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Wow... never realized that people were still looking at this thread. Actually I started up a canopy cover towards the end of the summer (July-August), but never finished it because school started. I'm hoping to get this finished up in the next month. It could actually be friction fitted with no magnets needed. I'll post up some picks as soon as i charge my camera. Edited November 12, 2009 by PsYcHoDyNaMiX Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Cool look forward to the update pics!! We all want to see it finished i'm sure. Quote
valhary Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 this is something that yamato missed and i want in all my vf 22s Quote
Wicked Ace Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) I still have interest in this kit and hope to see new pics soon. Edited November 29, 2009 by Wicked Ace Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 And especially interested if you can improve what Yamato brought out! Go Man Go! Quote
Wicked Ace Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Despite the release of the Max and Millia type -22s, which I believe many members intended to make with this kit, I still want this. Quote
leading edge Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Despite the release of the Max and Millia type -22s, which I believe many members intended to make with this kit, I still want this.The canopy i assume you are going to cast it in some kind of clear plastic resin. I have yet to work with clear cast but I was wondering if your planning to use a vacuum formed canopy. If you pla to tint it try a orange metalic gold rub and buff along with either a transparent food dye or transparent paint will do for tinting. If you want an even coat for that fantastic canopy try car tinting. If you want an exact fit for the canopy here is a site.I got to tell you man your VF-22S is the stuff legends are made of dude genius stuff happening. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread....585&page=19 Quote
