VF-1A Jack Archer
Hello All,
While waiting on Janx to texture up the hangar for my USS Macon I have been fiddling with other models. Here we have yet another Valkyrie model (or Veritech in this case). It's the VF-1A in Jack Archer's scheme. he's the main character in the Robotech Battlecry game. I did these schemes before Janx did the re-draw of the templates so it's the old template without all those beautiful decals he added :P Also he never did these schemes on the new templaes and most likely will never happen as i never got permission from the folks at Harmony Gold to do a release. I did have this one printed out and figured I'ld build it up as it's a nice scheme. The model only lacks weapons, pilot and canopy at this point. Hmmm I really need to do some builds of non fighter modes don't I :P G1 |

HM,
Yeah it's a great game. One of the best portraying the Valk. ever. Nice and long to. I did Izzy's and Wolf Squad schemes as well (jsut are-coloring of the Archer scheme). I also did the Stealth scheme. I still need to make the YF-1R head from the game. Only reason I haven't done it yet is I never heard from Harmony Gold so didn't put the effort in till I heard. I may finish it but can't release it. That's the main reason I wouldn't put the effort in. If I can't share the work I don't really see the point. I see the members here of this forum as friends, and if I put the effort into creating a model or parts for a model I want to share them so others can build. If I can't share em then there's no point. G1 |

Excellent job Getter :D I never get tired of these little buggers.
I grew up as a kid (still in highschool) playing Robotech on the game boy advance. It was an amazing game and I loved every single moment of getting blasted. Never heard of Robotech Battlecry, but I'm sure it's as good as the one on the gba. Ya know what, I think I haven't attempted one of these models yet, I'll try my hand at one! These definitely look like fun. I'm tempted to add those extra armor packs to make it look beefy! |

TO,
Try one :D you'll love it :D The Super parts really add to em. The GBA game was pretty cool but Battlecry blows it away. It was avaliable for PS2, Game Cube, and X-box. You can find a copy of it really cheap. There was a 2nd Robotech game (Robotech Invasion) for PS2 and X-Box also. It featured the Cyclone (my all time favorite mecha). It wasn't as good a game but still fun and worth checking out. G1 |

Wow, nice
I played both Battlecry and Invasion, and I agree that Invasion wasn't that great and the only reason i got it was cos it had the cyclone in it... my fav mech too. :D The first one as better play as it followed somewhat too the Robotech series, which brought back great memories of my childhood. Oh i forgot to ask, anyone know of a good detailed Robotech Cyclone papercraft? I found one sometime ago but it was very blocky. Last edited by Pikachun; 06-01-2010 at 04:02 AM.

Well, to confess I did attempt making a battroid but got stuck on the chest :( I'll try it again and hopefully I'll be able to get past that bit.
Wow! Just checked out Battlecry and Invasion on youtube and I was blown away :D I'll see if I can buy Battlecry on amazon. |
