I've never seen it offered for sale before and did not know it existed, but had assumed it did because of the cover on the back of the Japananimation magazine from 1985! It isn't much, but there are 2 previously unseen by my eyes, new UNUSED Macross Box Art pictures. From the look of them, I'm going to credit them to Masato, who was painting with a very strong Takani/Suzuki like impression. The thrill of discovering new Macross art, even after 40 years is very fun!! Masato? Quote
Shawn Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Fixed, geez! Believe it or not late last night I wondered 'did I say Masato?' then said 'nah, no I did not' Quote

Poor Masami Watanabe can't get no respect.... Quote
jvmacross Posted March 20 Posted March 20 So thinking Masami for the hanger illustration? It actually makes sense and should have picked up on the VF-1J Battroid as the smoking gun.... Very similar to his other illustration of the VF-1J in "repair"... Quote
Shawn Posted March 21 Posted March 21 That Macross Factory painting was for sale at the crazy expensive Heritage auction, I thought it might have listed the artist? Would be neat if it was Masami. I changed hard drives so my saved off auctions are unavailable. The Macross Package Art doesn't list the artist, says unknown. The 1/170 mini factories are just listed as 'Artmic'. They could not confirm it was Suzuki, so who knows...are they the same style as above? Quote
Shawn Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Found it! They said Shigeru Komatsuzaki Macross Robotech, Valkyrie Science Hangar. Wonder if it is signed on the back? Or if a guess? https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/paintings/shigeru-komatsuzaki-macross-robotech-valkyrie-science-hangar-illustration-peinture-originale-1979-1980-/a/7257-51040.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515 Quote

I consulted these images when I was building my 1/72 Armored Factory kitbash/ scratchbuild diorama! Quote
Shawn Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Hey-that Mikimoto book looks like it is printed? Like it is ready to go for real this time? Quote
