Budokhan Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Hey Gang! First time poster here, I was following google for some Macross Decals Images & came across an older thread on this site with some low-res scans from an old Macross Modeling guide. I have the same book & some years back I made hi-res scans of the noseart pics so I thought as a newbie "gift" I'd share 'em with everyone! ~ Enjoy!! http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...nxiousAngel.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...ChassyNancy.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...DarlingLili.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu.../DevilAngel.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu.../LynnMinmay.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...Minmeisstar.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...urderersRow.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...ROSS/Mybaby.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...rayfordeath.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...SS/PunchGal.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...eepyTimeGal.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...StarryAngel.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...oanakedLady.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...ngedjustice.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...YellowFever.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu.../lawmanmary.jpg Quote
big F Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Yeah thanks for that and welcome to MW. I have that book too and a few others with noseart in them. Never thought of sharing as I just assumed that everyone would have em. Chances are there will be others who will want these and more. Edited July 24, 2009 by big F Quote
Mercurial Morpheus Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Thanks, those are awesome! Welcome aboard. Quote
panzertank Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Very nice nose art. Have to say i like MurderersRow best Quote
AcroRay Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Nice work! I was just talking with Promethum5 about this set the other day, and was going to scan them from my book for him. Quote
Budokhan Posted July 26, 2009 Author Posted July 26, 2009 Thanks for the kind welcome guys! Glad I could help out! I'll try to post more stuff for everyone as I come across it (hopefully higher-res also) ! Quote
MechTech Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Welcome and thanks Budokhan. A lot of people have been looking for those. I have the book too, but it does seem to be rare and hard to find. - MT Quote
Budokhan Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 Mechtech: Thanks for the welcome & youre quite welcome for the 'cals! BTW, I gotta say, well done so far on the DAEDALUS model your building! That thing is HUGE. Too bad we cant team up with some others here to make a to-scale Flying RC SDF-1 to go with it! Quote
RogueTrooper Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Thanks for sharing, so would these go onto a brownie i guess? Quote
Budokhan Posted July 31, 2009 Author Posted July 31, 2009 Hey Gang! Got another one for ya, I found this on the net... I believe its from "Macross Frontier" http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/bu...Girlnoseart.jpg ~Enjoy Quote
Budokhan Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 GREAT NEWS!!!! I just got an original, mint-in-box ARII 1/72 Destroid Tomahawk from Evil-bay !: As soon as it comes in the mail ( 2-3 weeks) I'll scan the decals in hi-res for the Vampirella-type noseart ( legart??) & post it up here for you guys! I know there are quite a few folks who have been looking for a hi-res shot of it & I've been kinda lusting after this kit for a long time anyways so its a win-win sitch for all of us! Quote
ultimateone Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 If anyone can get a high res shot of this one it would be much appreciated!! Quote

Budokhan Posted August 5, 2009 Author Posted August 5, 2009 thanks....never knew there were lot of 'lovely' nose art for macross....thanks for sharing Youre quite welcome! Quote
Budokhan Posted August 21, 2009 Author Posted August 21, 2009 Greetings Gang! Finally got my 1/72 TOMAHAWK kit thru the mail yesterday! I scanned in the decals &.....YIKES!! are they in bad shape! I'm currently "rebuilding" the set using Photoshop so hopefully in the next couple of days, I'll have them finished to post for everyone! ~Cheers! Quote
cool8or Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I'm very curious about Vampirella Pinup. Months ago I asked about it, while I were building my Moscato's Tomahawk. But Finally I used this Apache pinup: Quote
Budokhan Posted August 21, 2009 Author Posted August 21, 2009 Hey cool8or! Okay, the actual decal of the Vampirella on the sheet is pretty small & not very well detailed at all ( the artwork on the box cover is better!). Shes one of the reasons I'm "cleaning" up the whole set. I'm gonna tighten up the artwork with only minimal alterations so as not to detract from its overall originality. But....an this is a big but.... I'm gonna scan the boxart at super-hi res, use the vampi art there to "re-create" a whole new, photoshopped image in nice detail ( but thats gonna take a little longer) I'll still however, am gonna post the re-newed set for everyone as soon as its finished! Quote
Budokhan Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 Greetings All! Sorry I havent posted any updates in the last few days, just getting over a bad summer cold. Anywho, I got the 1/72 TOMAHAWK decals scanned & am about halfway done rebuilding them. I just wanted to share the main parts of the rebuilt stuff with you guys for the time being until the rest of the sheet is done. Firstly, heres the cleaned up & "tweaked" Vampirella noseart for the leg : She's not too much to look at, is she? Then, I very carefully disassembled the box top to fit it in the scanner so I could make a full, Hi-res scan of the boxart to be "cleaned up". After that, I cropped & cleaned up the noseart image in photoshop. This is what I'm gonna use for the template when I redraw it in photoshop: She's much better, eh? Also, If anyone wants it, I still have the full TOMAHAWK boxart image on file ( its large tho, 233 mb) so just PM me & I'll fire you off a zip file containing it! Have a great one guys & Enjoy!!

thegunny Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Rolling Thunder, a unit in Battletech uses a similar motif. Here's a scan. It might be a bit clearer as the image is almost full page in the book. It has the face of a banshee though but I'm sure a clever clogs at photoshop will be able to fix that Quote
Fat_Bot Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Hey, those are great scans. I'm amazed at the quality you manged to get from the originals. Quote
Budokhan Posted September 23, 2009 Author Posted September 23, 2009 If anyone can get a high res shot of this one it would be much appreciated!! Would this perchance be what yer lookin for?? knew I had this little lady, took me a bit to find her as she was loitering in a completely unrelated folder! I still have the original scan so if you need me too, I can darken her up a bit via photoshop ! Quote
Vepariga Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 those nose arts are amazing,great work on getting them in such good resolution Quote
