Kurisama Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Thanks everyone! Just putting together reference images for the new head unit sculpt - so many variations on the same thing; A - Scan from the Master FIle book. B - Initial art for the D (Listed as the A-type in the Macross Mecha Manual, which is incorrect I believe) C - Hasegawa colour guide for the 1/72 D - Image I found of the VF-0D by Kawamori. C & D seem to be the same more or less - and A seems to take cues from the A-type head mixed with B. Think I will go with A as from a glance it looks to match the silhouette of the A-type a lot, so should be easier to fit in without making new flappity-flaps on the underside of the fuselage.

valhary Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I believe the head is very confused because in some pics looks one visor and in some screenshot with two like "A" type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varitechs Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 B - Initial art for the D (Listed as the A-type in the Macross Mecha Manual, which is incorrect I believe) Yes it's an error... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 I believe the head is very confused because in some pics looks one visor and in some screenshot with two like "A" type Haha, yeah - thanks for the pics Valhary! Looks like the 'official' version is the Hasegawa type - it was so hard to see in the anime. So guess I'm free here to interpret my own design. But anyone have any real objections either way? But what I have noticed from most official art 3D renders, is that the wings in the battroid are severely under-sized - this is is how big they are; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The Master File shows the wings as enormous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwfalcon Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Haha, yeah - thanks for the pics Valhary! Looks like the 'official' version is the Hasegawa type - it was so hard to see in the anime. So guess I'm free here to interpret my own design. But anyone have any real objections either way? But what I have noticed from most official art 3D renders, is that the wings in the battroid are severely under-sized - this is is how big they are; IMO, very nice proportion Kurisama!! I really don't think the wings are under sized, but the latching might be too fragile or easy to break given the white strong material property, based on my 3D-printing experience. So it would be great if someone who ordered these wings shows the actual assembly. I will try to order one set before christmas time for my partially modified vf-0A. The 0D head is customized by one friend and it perfectly matchs the 0A body. I believe the 0D wing can further beautify it.

Kurisama Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Free shipping at shapeways, today only!!! You know what they say; hesitate, masticate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Any interest in this? Had a bit of spare time today - but not feeling it and running out of motivation. Was hoping to get it finished before the free shipping offer runs out at Shapeways - doesn't look like it'll happen. Should I continue - or rather, any interest in this??

Kurisama Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 OMG OMG!!! Quick note as I jet out the door this morning - swap the v-stabs, the stepping on the aierelons is horrendous - will need a lot of sanding... Let me know how the intakes fit - worried about them. So happy and nervous!!! Will be back later with more thoughts and maybe renders of the instructions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 That is one cool looking VF-0C, can't wait to see it all finished!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Valhary, as well as the v-stabs, you need to swap the variable wing tips on the delta wings. Other than that, how are the tolerances on the friction joints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhary Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 ok a little problems to fix the intake parts but still find great the wings no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

::NXS:: Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 this is all great stuff! The delta looks so elegant. Does anybody know how to completely disassemble the legs? I want to disassemble for repaint, so far so good with all the figure, but can´t get past the legs. The radiator looking thing just below the landing gear doors looks to be glued and locked in place... any help appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
