erikos0311 Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 I Always enjoyed the final episode of Macross Zero (my 2nd favorite after DYRL) & I had a chance to attend & build this kit 4 days before the MW Con. Sooo.. Here are some pictures from the CON courtesy of MW Member Grapetang! who by the way has an awesome camera and was nice enough to take detailed pictures of the bird. Hope you guys enjoy them and like always, I welcome all critiques, comments! Quote
505thAirborne Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Wicked cool VF-0A, if benson gets one then so do I! Quote
Major Focker Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 fantastic work! would be interested in build-up pics Quote
erikos0311 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 You and me bud,!! I built this kit in 3 -1/2 days before the CON, I wish I would've had a chance but I hardly even flinched an eyelid trying to complete the kit before getting on the plane! Next time buddy! Next time ! Lol Quote
Cesar Enrique Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 WoW! I love that scene too, in fact I have had the idea to make a kit like this for years, but I´ve been affraid to do it... very well done, I think the camera flash doesnt help much to appreciate the effects of the damage. Congratulations !! Its nice to see a kit like yours, maybe I will do a kit like this in the next year. That wire mesh, is it brass? Quote

Falcon18 Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Amazing detail and damage. Beautiful work. Good job on it. Quote
Thom Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Great work! It looks like it was lifted straight out of the anime. And nice job with the display. Quote
erikos0311 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 ?? ?? What your answer was? Hehe I don't think it was brass Cesar , I got it at Home Depot, I bought the whole roll for $5.99 and I think it's just regular wire mesh for windows/doors. I added the wire mesh before I primed and airbrushed the body/wings black. Quote
grapetang Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I think the camera flash doesnt help much to appreciate the effects of the damage. Agreed. You really should see it in person!!! As for the flash, there wasn't enough light and I didn't have a camera tripod so the choice was blurry pictures (which I tried) and the flash pics with blown out details. Congrats again to Erikos for the great detailed work and the custom contest win! It was gorgeous to see and a well-deserved win! Quote
erikos0311 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 Thanks guys! I really appreciate your comments! Quote
Benson13 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 So mine is going to get to my house in about 2-3 weeks Erikos? If you don't feel like building a new one I can just take that one off your hands...just sayin. Quote

PetarB Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Awesome work. I really must watch this Macross Zero again soon. Quote
MechTech Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Nice (or shouldI say bad) work on the blown up composite structure! Looks like someone took composite parts and blew them up! That would be more fun than the screen, but the screen looks realistic. And for only three days too! This is another cool thing I missed not being able to go to the 'con. Congratulations! - MT Quote
miriya Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Totally amazing custom erikos0311! Great photos Grapetang! Quote
coronadlux Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I was blown away when I saw it at the con. Very well built. Congratulations on the win. Quote
wm cheng Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 BEAUTIFUL!!! wished I could have seen it in person. Quote
erikos0311 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 Thanks MW Cheng! I learned from the best! (Hint Hint)! I have all your awesome tutorials to thank!! Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 2 days... color me impressed. Love it!! You missed the feathers and hallucinated projection of Mao............... ...................Macross zero.... :lol: Quote
cool8or Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Two days... unbelievable. I need entire months to finish a kit, and after so many models, I never go so far like you. Congratulations! But please try to post more pictures, and closer... I need to see in detail your work, I'm thinking in build a Destroid totally destroyed, and this is what I want to get. Regards. Quote
