VF-1 Valkyrie
- Thread starter Getter1
- Start date
Okay guys I have a beta beta version of the Valkyrie stand that I will send to a couple of people to give it a go. There are no instructions and honestly don't have the time to make them. I have several reference pics that I will send along for the arm and the stand to aid in assembly. The stand is my design and fairly simple. The arm is Janx's design which he graciously let me screw up along the way. With all that said this is my first release ever. Criticism is welcomed. Just PM your email to me if you're interested. The scale should be pretty close to the reworked Valkyries but I haven't built the super packs to try the arm on for sizing, be forewarned.

The VT-1 will require a re-design of the nose, canopy, cockpit, B.Pak, and the Super Pak components. Janx may be able to get all those done a lot faster than I could but he's a bit swamped ATM. I'm taking a break from things for a bit to catch up on on some building so it will be a bit before the VT-1 is tackled.

Hello All,
Yesterday evening I got started on the VF-1A Max type, Fighter mode. I had printed out before Janx had to make the files smaller by re-drawing them in Vector. I struggled with whether or not I should re-print his enhanced versions or just build the one's I did prior.
Well considering I printed out all 3 modes of 4 variants totaling 12 models I decided to go ahead and build the older version. Janx's version have all the nice decals that mine lacked, the pilot's name's, and much nicer directional venier details. Aside from that there's little diffrence when printed so I can live without the decals and nice directional veniers.
Here is what I got so far. I built it gear up (I struggled with that to). All that's left is to add the small detail parts, canopy, and make the weapons. This is my first non-prototype build and I must say I'm very pleased with the results so far. Max's VF-1A has to be my favorite color scheme of Macross so it was natural for me to start here
While uploading the pics I got most of the detail parts done. It's late so installing them and pics will have to wait till tomorrow
Enjoy the pics.

Looks brilliant Getter, the VF-1A Max tv scheme is still awaiting approval atm, its on the first page so suspects its been missed. I'll flag it up when I post the rest of the DYRL Schemes later today.
New schemes and Super packs should be uploaded by tomorrow night.

Commander,
Glad you likes
I just got the detail parts on last night (pics later on this evening). I do intend to do weapons, GU-11 and the standard Triple Missile paks. Filled the canopy mold last night to so that's in the works.
Gerwalk is coming up after this one

i have looked through all the files and still can not find them.... i guess i will find them when i print them all out... anyways because "you all are just awsome", there will be a couple of presents from me coming soon. As soon as i add a some details to them i will post some WIPs sometime this weekend.
Hello All,
I finally got the pics taken. Here we have all the detail parts installed. I only placed the canopy on as I need to do something bout how the inner frame shows a bit on the edges. I think it turned out failry well but I'm not 100% happy with the canopy. It's ok for my 1st success at making a clear canopy so I can live with it
Working on the weapons now. Enjoy the pics.
