VF-1D Valkyrie Trainer
Hello All,
Well let the madness begin. I am building a VF-1D 2 seat trainer Valkyrie as a Christmas present for a buddy of mine who only builds in plastic and resin. He doesn't think he can build in paper (don't worry, I'm still working paper evil on him :P ). I will try my best to document the build as a sort of tutoiral. I will be doing this with cockpit but gear up. My next build of a VF-1J in a special scheme will feature gear and flaps so gear will be covered there. 1st thing, pre-score all parts and cut em out. Arrange em by componets. Pick somewhere to start :P Note I have allt he tiny parts in a small plastic container. Man those things are handy to have round :D Pix will be posted as I get stuff done G1 |

I'm really looking forward to the tutorials, thanks for all the trouble Getter 1
BTW, I already mentioned I like the 1D a lot, but I REALLY love the trainer unit from the Macross movie, the VT-1 super ostrich. Say, are there any plans to make that one available somewhere in the future? Sorry if I'm a little off topic. |

Hello All,
It's been a couple days..............those kinda days :P I have managed to get most of the main components together and I've haavily photographed the process but I lack the time and energy to post em up tonight :P Expect a lot of posting from me here tomorrow Onions, Ltla is working on the VT-1 parts currently. He's gettin pretty damn good so I leave that to his capable hands :D I still have the YF-1R head to do also but don't know if that will ever be released (which is why it hasn't been done yet :P ). I did the color schemes from Robotech Battlecry and planned on doing the Battlecry YF-1R. I contaced Harmony Gold for permission and never hear from any of my inquires :( Therefore those schemes may never be released. Oh V5, glad to see you back in the game brotha G1 |

I dont understand why you need permission from Harmony Gold to make any thing that is paper and non-profit.
Besides Boeing and Lockheed have been collect royalties for plastic military replicas while completely ignoring paper model manufacturers. |

We might as well not design any models at this rate, pack it all up and move on to some other hobby like drawing. No wait, then we can't draw anything because we have to get permission to draw things like the Mustang, Eiffel Tower and F16s.
