AIF-9V Ghost

[goodduck]

Early last week Mr.Takeuchi, a designer in Japan sent his pdo. files of the AIF-9V Ghost and VF-25 Durandal from Macross Frontier that he just recently finished. Being a super big fan of Macross series, it is Christmas in July for me! So, I clear every projects off my desk and immediately jump on his models. The models was design to print on 8.5"x11" for 1/72 scale, but I like large scaled so I "fit to print" on 11"x17". The Ghost only came in two pages with low parts count, so was really easy to built. I want to go jump on the VF-29 too, but I will be going home at the end of the week, think I will just wait till I get back home before I start. Meantime, few pic of my sloppy AIF-9V Ghost built job for your pastime viewing.

Allen, I would not say that this build was sloppy (by any stretch of the imagination).
You did an OUTSTANDING job on this project.
This does not look like a paper kit at all.
I am looking forward to seeing the VF-29 when it is done.

Geez you are one hustlin' dude! Nice model!! Is he planing to make this available?

 

[lehcyfer]

Very clean, precise work. Applause!

Awesome!

His models are not set up for download. He give his models to people that follow his blog, at his leisure. I am just lucky that he sent his models to, and I do not have permission to share them.

My build is very sloppy, Rhaven. Glue everywhere, misalignment, and printed with laser copier didn't help my build a whole lot. But, I will do it right next go around when I get back to my beloved inkjet printer again.

 

[Zathros]

Is his Blog private? Sounds like it would be interesting.

Allen, Looking at the photos that you took, I can not see a single flaw anywhere.

He is a musician, a guitar player. I think that's his true hobby but not sure, I didn't read(translated) every posts. His blog mostly plastic models of Macross Frontiers and that's how I found him. Yes I know, there are tens of thousands of blogs like that in Japan. I drop him a note and pic of my built and still waiting for his respond. He don't reply right away(at least to me) anyway, take a few days for him to to respond. I guess because he don't post everyday? Bottom line, if I don't have his permission, I don't share anything of his. But, his blog is on line and anyone can get to it just like I did, one just need to know what to google for.

 

[Zathros]

I found his name all over the place, but no a blog that was his?

 

[NeoThyrrus]

Keep us informed if he give you permission to share his .pdo coz i'd love to make them ^^

Hello Allen.

Since English is poor, and write in Japanese. I'm sorry.

Invitation to the paper model forum, and thank you.
There was a sharing invitation from other people so far, in my work has a copyright issue. Unspecified number of shares to the forum to participate is therefore refused.
I'm sorry. I think as, say you want to take the form of sharing with friends by e-mail so far. Please understand please.

Takeuchi.

 

[Zathros]

Allen, that was really nice of you to try. These copyright issues can really come up and bite someone in the butt if they are not careful. I understand completely. Thanks for the effort, it is appreciated. Tell him he is welcome to join the forum, bad English or not, I can't speak any Japanese, so we're both in the same boat!
