VF-1X++ custom

[Jasonc]

So, I've been working on this kit for quite a long time. Between getting the official Framout kit, and using parts that were made by Xigfrid  along with some custom work of my own, I present the finished VF-1X++. It looks easy enough, but I actually ended up having to custom make the wings due to a few 3D design attempts that just didn't work. Because of that, I had to color match the wings to a Yamato white.not the easiest thing. The head  is basically all Frameout gave, along with the decals, so it was great to see that Xigfrid was willing to do the other parts. The white on the armor is simply Model Master superfine white primer, and the grey armor is Tamiya grey primer. All this is from one of the unassembled Yamato VF-1S kits.

While I may still touch up a piece here or there, I do want to customize the pilot, but as of now, she is done. 

I should also point out that it still fully transforms and all the pieces work as the toy was intended. No special parts swapping for transformation.

I hope you guys enjoy.

Thanks. It really came to life because of your parts you made for it. It would just be the "early design" stage of it, which I think is what Frameout called the one they released, but this is the full custom, full race version.  The wings didn't work, but that's OK. Your work really makes this feel like it belongs to Macross the Ride.

I Love Macross the ride and this one of the best designs I hope we can see more conversion kits in the near future

you and I both. I would love to do the VF-27 that is in it, but that's one crazy paint scheme.
