Dat Pinche Haro! Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 i was looking on google for macross zero pictures and i came across this.... where could it be from?! Quote
Graham Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Interesting. I dont think it's the prototype Hasegawa plastic model, as it doesn't look nearly detailed enough. I'm not sure where it's from though. Which web site did you find the picture? Graham Quote
Aegis! Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 WOW , Jesus , where the hell did that come from ? whoever did that is either a great modeler (if he did it from scratch) or is in contact with the owner of the one-off Hasegawa/Yamato contest model. I don´t think is of much relevance if it´s just a fan model , but maybe Yamato (or rather Hasegawa) should keep an eye on this...maybe that´s a bit too paranoic though. Quote
Myersjessee Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Wow...sure looks like the VF0...telltale tail and such ...but I agree..doesnt look to be Hase...wheer did it come from? Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted August 26, 2003 Author Posted August 26, 2003 i'll have to go through my history thing...hopefully i can find it then i'll be able to tell you where i got it from Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted August 26, 2003 Author Posted August 26, 2003 here's the link where i got the picture from but it's just the picture....ahh it's probably a pro modeler that did it lol http://www.d8.dion.ne.jp/~crafuton/vf0_1.htm Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted August 26, 2003 Author Posted August 26, 2003 here's the link to where i found it...seems it wasn't google i found it from....it was on Alltheweb.com lol http://www.alltheweb.com/search?q=vf-0&c=i...g&cs=utf-8&o=12 Quote
imode Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 http://www.d8.dion.ne.jp/~crafuton/meka1.htm Here you go... couple more images that aren't shown on alltheweb. That is one nice prototype. Quote
Hurricane29 Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Thats pretty interesting, if its a scratch built, someone has major talent. Quote
Skull Leader Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 let us HOPE it's scratchbuilt.... I would hate to buy an injection-mold model with so many tiny imperfections..... if it IS in fact hand made, then BRAVO! Quote
Mechamaniac Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Certainly looks like a prototype to me... Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 it almost looks like this The sculpt is quite similar, but the scale seems to be different. Quote
Montarvillois Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Could this be a leaked Yamato prototype picture ? Quote
Valkyrie Nut Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 doesnt seem to be as its a pure fighter mode model Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Man, monster seam line down the nose.... Quote
Mule Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 (edited) Looks to me sort of like a pre-production model prototype. That would explain the un-puttied seam lines in the nose, between the fuselage halves and at the vertical stabalizer roots. Scale is impossible to tell since there are no solid points of refference. It looks like it could be a Hasegawa, but it could also be a garage kit (Yellow Sub, SHE, ...). Edited August 26, 2003 by Mule Quote
Amped Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Amazing what you can find when rootin' around on the web, eh? Looks good so far, whatever it is. Wonder if more detail will be added, tho. Quote
Abombz!! Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 It looks sort of transformable.... doesn't it? Quote
imode Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 It looks sort of transformable.... doesn't it? Sort of. It looks like it's in a number of different pieces; cockpit, upper fuslage, lower fuselage/legs, and backpack. Quote

It looks like it's in a number of different pieces; cockpit, upper fuslage, lower fuselage/legs, and backpack. Yeah... thats what I meant. Should have added "slightly" before transformable. Quote

With a bit of tweaking it could probably get gerwalk mode without too much trouble. All the way to battroid is a little bit of a reach tho. Quote
Unknown Target Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 I dunno. The legs look like they're pretty much one piece. Quote
GreenGuy42 Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 I dunno. The legs look like they're pretty much one piece. Well, the partof the leg that wouldn't move, yes... However, the thrusters are a seperate piece, and it also appears that the leg isn't attached to the fuselage. Hell, I've seen some amazing stuff done with models, and with time, and a dremel, I'm SURE this can be made to be transformable. Quote
Skull Leader Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 somehow I doubt this one is transformable...... and we're getting ahead of ourselves... We don't know if it's a scratchbuild or not. I SERIOUSLY doubt it's a Yammie proto simply because I'm fairly certain we'd hear from Graham on the matter long before anyone else did. There is a seriously FINITE (read: Bend over so far you stick your head up your own butt) amount of VF-0 models in the world at this moment... unless these pictures were a prototype for the limited Hasegawa release, it almost has to be a scratchbuild... in EITHER case the model isn't transformable and wouldn't be without serious modification and further scratchbuilding. Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Maybe it's a fixed transformation GK that can be built in F, G or B. Quote
Abombz!! Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Perhaps is a prototype of the first Macross Fix Figuration line! Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 No, it's the long awaited Macross SOC! Quote
Abombz!! Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 No, it's the long awaited Macross SOC! It doesn't look like it has much Chogo in it. <_< Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 No, it's the long awaited Macross SOC! It doesn't look like it has much Chogo in it. Hey, neither does the Kahen Senshi zeta, and it's often regarded as a spinoff of the SOCs.... Quote

Hey, neither does the Kahen Senshi zeta, and it's often regarded as a spinoff of the SOCs.... Are you kidding? Have you handled the Hyaku Shiki KS? <_< The Zeta one is made of plastic... the HK is pure Chogo lust! Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 I want that Shiki so bad. I played around with one back around Otakon. Too bad I have almost no budget..... Quote
Angel's Fury Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 None the less, it's the sculp of the VF-0 Quote
