Mommar Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 ...aww. I saw you had replied and thought we'd be getting an update! LOL Quote
strudelvalk Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I'm collecting Macross Frontier but i like the VF-0D a lot. The Vf-0 I see are expensive so i don't have any yet...will your parts fit all the VF-0 versions or just one? Quote
Kurisama Posted August 12, 2012 Author Posted August 12, 2012 All the 1/60 VF-0 are exactly the same except for plastic colour and head units - so yes, it'll fit which ever 1/60 u end up getting. Quote
Mommar Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Any word on how this mod is progressing? I've got another VF-0 on the way just for this. Quote
Kurisama Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 I'll get back to this really soon guys - the painting/assembly of my custom Rau is taking up my spare time at the moment. It is almost done, then back to this. Although cryptic posts from Graham have me paranoid that the VF-0D may get an official release, if not maybe renewals or rereleases of the VF-0s soonish. So maybe i'll give up on this, or just make it available anyways as it may be cheaper than any official releases. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Even though, Yamato decides to make it. You still have my support as a customer and prows owner of this kit. Beat Yamato to the punch and make it complete and better. Keep going, I am sure there are other supporters who share the same sentiments. Quote
Gian Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 If we keep waiting Yamato it may never happen. Quote
Mommar Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I don't think Graham as been hinting at that at all. Have I missed a quote somewhere? The last i remember he said Yamato was done with the Zero license. Quote
Kurisama Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 Patience guys. All good things come to he who waits. Graham There ya go, but its probably nothing. Haha. Most likely referring to the mythical v2 YF-19. Right? Lulz. Even though, Yamato decides to make it. You still have my support as a customer and prows owner of this kit. Beat Yamato to the punch and make it complete and better. Keep going, I am sure there are other supporters who share the same sentiments. Thank you - thanks for the support! Quote
valhary Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 yeah even yamato make it I have one unassembled 0 that need your conversion kit Quote
Benson13 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I got all happy when I read Graham's post. I love the Zero valks and I need to get some bad guys. Quote
Chronocidal Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 If Yamato makes a VF-0D at this point, I'll be incredibly amazed. I'm just hoping that they release a reissue of the Macross Zero stuff they have already, since it'll make it much easier to get spares to use with this kit, and with the armor set when that gets made. Best case, I'd love to see an unpainted kit version because it would make this conversion a breeze, but I'm not really expecting that. Quote
Mommar Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Well i just bought a spare VF-0A for this conversion so I'd be happier with your project going forward rather than not. Quote
Kurisama Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 I will finish this project, don't stress! Everyone's spare Zeros will not have been bought in vain! Quote
MechTech Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 For all of you hoping to get a certain release by a company, always remember this: "if you make an elaborate and detailed scratch build of a kit because one has not been released, a manufacturer WILL build it!" I think it's one of Murphy's laws. But like all laws, they do get broken. - MT Quote
gwfalcon Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Bump from gwfalcon! Hope to see more pictures soon buddy! Quote

I think it's one of Murphy's laws. But like all laws, they do get broken. - MT You know what though.. there's a good reason this is true. A lot of times, it takes the interest generated by a custom mod to convince a company that a mass production of that mod might be worthwhile. If Yamato gets a surge of sudden sales of VF-0s, and they do the research to correlate it to your mod kit getting released, someone might go, "Hey, you know, this might not be too hard to do..."

VF5SS Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 If Yamato gets a surge of sudden sales of VF-0s, and they do the research to correlate it to your mod kit getting released, someone might go, "Hey, you know, this might not be too hard to do..." how can they do research on a toy they haven't produced in like six years? Quote
Chronocidal Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Just referring to Graham's comments, and the possibility of them being reissued. Quote
Kurisama Posted September 10, 2012 Author Posted September 10, 2012 Hey fellas! Just been tied down with work and what not, semester is almost over and I'll get back onto it soon! Had some spare time to fiddle with the canard assembly yesterday, almost done there - but nothing screen shot worthy - then onto the real drama... making the rear-of-shin part to attach the v-stab to and lock the delta wings into... Quote
Mommar Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 then onto the real drama... making the rear-of-shin part to attach the v-stab to and lock the delta wings into... I didn't think you were going to modify that part? You changed your mind? Did you get cocky after that sweet Q-Rau mod? LOL Quote
Kurisama Posted September 10, 2012 Author Posted September 10, 2012 Not cocky - I just keep thinking "If you're going to do something, do it right." I think it'll be better for it - plus we all know how ppl around here are sticklers for line-art accuracy Quote
Mommar Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Any updates on this mod? I've got a spare 0A that's waiting for surgery. Quote
Kurisama Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Semester... almost... over... Last batch of student assignments for assessment coming in a week or so... THEN SMEAGOL IS FRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee............................... to get back to this Quote
gwfalcon Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Great! Looking forward to seeing more pics! Edited October 23, 2012 by gwfalcon Quote
Kurisama Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Gentlemen... I have dusted off the ol' maya file and have commenced work on this project again. Edit; Just a quick photo for morale; Edited October 31, 2012 by Kurisama Quote
caslon Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 It looks fantastic, Kurisama!! Keep on the good job! Quote
Mommar Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Gentlemen... I have dusted off the ol' maya file and have commenced work on this project again. Edit; Just a quick photo for morale; Minus the wings that's precisely how I have my waiting 0A posed, minus tail fins with missiles and all. Quote
Mommar Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 What's the other plastic looking wing sitting beneath it? Quote
Kurisama Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 Dry build of the 1/72 VF-0D kit. Quote
