Barpharanges Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Thought any fans of Gall Force would like to see these model sheets I scanned. A recent Gall Force thread had a request for these designs, so rather than re-animate a dead thread, I'll make a new one. I also have scans ready of the STRUGGLE Suit (emergency power armour for downed BALSAMs) if you guys wish to see them. The War Craft BREAKER; The BREAKER's cockpit entry and display; The Starfighter BALSAM; The BALSAM cockpit; Enjoy! Quote
gnollman Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Sweet... always liked Gall Force stuff... anything by Sonoda is ok by me. Quote
GobotFool Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Didn't this series have a hoverbike that changed into power armor? Quote
DestroidsRage Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Heck Yah I want to see the emergency powered suit! And any other cool mecha that are in your artbook!! And GobotFool, that'd be sweet if there was a Hoverbike/Power Armor in Gall Force. I dont know if there is or not.. Can anyone else verify? Betcha your thinking of Megazone 23 Part II, or something like that though. Thats the only Hoverbike I can think of that turns into a robot... -BEN-MAN- Quote
EXO Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Damn... If my scanner was working I could contribute to this thread. Barphranges can you post the cover of the books the scan came from please? Thanks ahead!!! Quote
Barpharanges Posted November 30, 2003 Author Posted November 30, 2003 Actually, my scanner isn't working either. I'm in the middle of a move... But I will try to scan some more designs at an outside source. By the way, there is a transforming hoverbike called JET BLOWGUN, whose wacky transformation will blister the inner thighs of the driver... I eventually would like to scan all the Gall Force Mecha I have model sheets of, so everyone else can see. I managed to buy three Gall Force artbooks for a mere $5CDN each years ago, and have never seen them again. I have no idea of the true name of the book I am scanning, but the english fine print reads; GALLFORCE/ETERNAL STORY/THE FIGHTING GALLENT GIRLS and a stylized blue JET BLOWGUN with Rumy piloting adorns the front cover. The rear cover has a stylized blue Breakthrough bouncer BRONZ-D. This book has everything! Early designs, Key animation, Charactor and Mechanical model sheets, the full(!) storyboard, Location Designs for Chaos and even size comparison charts for all ships and mecha. Quote
Barpharanges Posted November 30, 2003 Author Posted November 30, 2003 It might help if I actually post the pics, eh? Here is the "ejection seat" for the BALSAM starfighter, the STRUGGLE Suit; The ejection proccess; The Suit itself; The "cockpit" of the suit; Enjoy! Quote
mildred Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 oi barph! thanks a lot!! keep 'em coming!!! Quote
kong Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Wow do you have any pics of the WASP fighter or the Tornato? Thnx for the pics kong Quote
yellowlightman Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Awesome pics, I used to have a bunch I got from a website a few years ago... ButI think I lost them many hard drive formattings ago. Gall Force is definately thick with the 80's anime design aesthetic, I love it. Quote
Barpharanges Posted December 2, 2003 Author Posted December 2, 2003 I'll try to get some more scanned soon. @Kong; I do have Model Sheets of the WASP, but I am not familiar with the name TORNATO. Can you tell me where in the series it shows up? By the way, for clairity, here is a partial list of names for the Solnoid mecha seen in the first OVA; Star Fighter BRANCH- Lufy's first craft, with the nifty forward section escape pod. Star Fighter VINE- The boxy fighters that Lufy rams in the STARLIEF's rear hanger. Star Fighter STEM- Briefly seen leaving the STARLIEF's top hanger. STRUGGLE Suits- Short range power armour. Also an escape system for the BALSAM. Breakthrough Bouncer BRONZ-D - Semi-autonomous robot. Can be piloted, but wasn't in the OVA. Star Fighter BALSAM- Nasty fighter with a STRUGGLE suit escape system. See above for scans. JET BLOWGUN- Transformable Jet bike/power armour. War Craft BREAKER- Kinda like a limb-less robot/fighter jet with VTOL. Also seen (but I can't find the name) were; A different type of Breakthrough Bouncer used by anotion faction of Solnoids. 2 different types of VTOL transporters. And the Second OVA; Star Fighter WASP- Lufy gets to fly one of these. Based on the BALSAM Star fighter. Star Fighter MOSQUITO- An "F-19 Stealth fighter" nailed to a platform with two boarding torpedos Breakthrough Bouncer DETONATOR- Cyborgs pilot these as giant power armour. STRUGGLE Suit- An up-graded power armour based on the first series STRUGGLE suit. STRUGGLE DIVER- A re-entry capable partially transformable power armour. Breakthrough Bouncer BRONZ-X -Up-graded BRONZ-D from the first series. I do not have the space to host all these scans, nor the time to scan them all at once, but if there are any of the above you would like to see, post here and tell me. I will try to post as much as I can. Also, the PARANOID troops are dead ringers for the Inbit/Invid from Mospeada, so if any Mospeada fans wish to see slightly transformable Inbits, just let me know.

kong Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 the Tornato was the bad ass fighter lufy flew on the 3rd ova can't remember the name of that one off hand. she flew it at then when both fleets engaged for the final battle. She flew into the hanger of one of the Paroniod ships and killed it from the inside out. I think it's like a heavy fighter from the looks of it. I had 4 masive guns on it. hope that helps.. if you still don't know i'll look around see if i can find it on a web site. Kong P.S. oh i'd love to see your Wasp pics. Thats my favorite fighter on the series, then the Tornato. Quote
DestroidsRage Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Man, I want to see a pic of the JET BLOWGUN!! That sounds sweet! I had no idea there was such a thing in Gall Force! -BEN-MAN- Quote
kong Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 here is as link to the tonorato. it's not all that great a pic and it has a small description. not sure how accurate it is though. Tornato kong Quote
Barpharanges Posted December 5, 2003 Author Posted December 5, 2003 Thats a handy link, Kong. Thank you. I've had no time to scan more model sheets as of yet, but I will soon. And the JET BLOWGUN will be one of them... Quote
DestroidsRage Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Sweet! Awesome Barpharanges! You are the Duke Of MacrossWorld, you are A # 1 ^___^ -BEN-MAN- Quote
Phyrox Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 I would love some good scans of the Starleif and the size chart. Quote
CaptRico Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 (edited) I really miss watching that Gall Force movie - first time I saw it was on Sci-Fi. The same went for Tenchi Muyo. I really like the Balsam craft. Excellent design. Would make a great valkyrie... But, I figure no one here wants to talk with me. Sorry I'm intruding... Edited December 6, 2003 by CaptRico Quote
Barpharanges Posted December 6, 2003 Author Posted December 6, 2003 @CaptRico Your not intruding, and I'd like to talk to you.... Gall Force designs are a great example of what I like about mecha. I will scan the size comp. chart as well. Man, I'm gonna break the spine of this book Quote
Phyrox Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I'm beginning to think Barph has gotten too busy for this little distraction...Damn! I was hoping for that size comparo... Or the StarLeaf... Or the Bronz-D... Or the Paranoid... Oh well... Quote
