Graham Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 The new June 2004 issue of Hobby Japan features an 18 page Macross section, including a great conversion of the Hasegawa VF-0S kit to Shin's VF-0D. I'll try and get scans of the VF-0D up later today and get the whole section scanned in during the weekend. Graham Quote
TheFrenchOne Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Wow ! we are talking about this from a vf-os kit ? I will stay tune and want to see that. Quote
Graham Posted April 23, 2004 Author Posted April 23, 2004 Here's the pics of the custom Shin type VF-0D. Larger (and more) scans will be going up in the MW magazine section over the weekend. Graham Quote
TheFrenchOne Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Wow Outstanding ! How did they manage to sculpt the head that beautiful ? I am really impressed Thanks for the pics Graham Quote
Neova Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Thats it. I'm going to break my budget and get a few more of those M:0 Kits and a few SV-51 and VF-0Bs and the VF-0Ds and the battroid counter parts and ANY Macross re-issue from Hasegawa. I love Hasegawa's quality and the possibilities in the hands of talented customizers. Beautiful! Quote
wm cheng Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 You said Noel! (although if I go through the effort of customizing, maybe Hasegawa will speed up the process and put one out before I'm finished ) Bitter? me,... non! I'll be looking forward to that baby!! Hey, even the "pros" didn't fill in the injector pins/holes in the landing gear doors, they left some and covered some up with some piece of styrene - man, no respect! Quote
Grayson72 Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Call it custom if you like but I betcha that's an actual first run prototype kit from Hasegawa. Look at that head and the detail on the wings, no way. Quote
ChristopherB Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Damn, that is sweet looking! Awesome paint job on both. Quote
Myersjessee Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Goodness gracious!!! I officially have a new favorite mech! Quote
bsu legato Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 (edited) *thinks of something to say that convey the majesty of that custom* Holy Macaroni!!! I sure hope Hasegawa plans of making a VF-0D kit, because there's no way in hell I have a chance of replicating that custom! Edited April 23, 2004 by bsu legato Quote
Valkyrie Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Goddamn!! Looking at those new parts, I'd swear they're from Hasegawa! The level of detail matches the rest of the kit perfectly! Quote
Spiff Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Man that is really cool, I really like the M-0 mechs. I'm pretty good at customizing stuff but that much work would take me a lifetime to even come close. Kickass stuff! Quote
Jawjaw Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Ok, that's it - game over, man, game over! That VF-0D looks amazing! Quote
Akula Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 wow... I can't wait for Hasegawa's release of that thing... even thought that one will still be outstanding... my big question is HOW? Quote
Aegis! Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 (edited) BIG FREAKING MOMA !!! What I´m about to say comes from the deepest corner of my heart ... from the very first moment I saw the VF-0D on M0 with that awesome delta wings and that cool looking paint job I just fell in love with that work of art from the gods , after that day there was no other valkyrie for me (except maybe the VF-5000 ). So what does a loyal fan of the 0D have to say about this custom ? well , I´ll just say ths : it´s worth an orgasm , it´s just too unbelievably beautiful. This guy just took my dreams and made them real. Someone just oughts to make a wallpaper from those pics Edited April 25, 2004 by Aegis! Quote
Graham Posted April 25, 2004 Author Posted April 25, 2004 There's some more and larger pics of the VF-0D up in the MW magazine section. See June 2004 issue. Graham Quote
zerocool Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Y can yamato Make them just like this one is it really hard, i will glad pay more 4 beter work Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 You know.... I'm surprised we haven't seen any variable customs of the VF-0S. I mean it can't be too off from the VF-1's transformation right? Anyways, I still want to see someone make a variable VF-0S out of a hasegawa! Quote
jontom Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 Well, the Japanese text references a 1:72 F/A-18D a couple times, so I assume that some of the extra stabilizers are from that. The wings are probably from another kit as well, just haven't figured out which one. John Quote
