My take on the VF-1D. A lot bigger than published, about 18 M long. I like big combat jets! :)

    Nice work, as usual. That's looking really cool so far. :thumb:

    Looks great, though my heart will always belong to the VF-25 family.

    Nice Valk redesign, going to go full on variable, including battroid mode?

    Heck no! What kind of work ethic do you think I've got?! :D

    I'm curious to see how you plan to do the arms

    Ah. That was a literal "heck no"

    Gerwalk/Jet mode only. I haven't got time for anything else. :)

    Well, it was hard to tell if you were serious about the "heck no." ;)

    Too bad, I love vehicles that transform into robots, though I'm not a Macross fan. I don't dislike it, I just don't know much about it. I knew what this was and that it transforms, but that's about the limit of my knowledge. :lol:

    Aw yeah! Love seeing Valkyrie models. Nice work! :D

    Some day I'll get around to that ultra-detailed SDF-1 Macross model I've long yearned to do...

    Wow the Valkyrie is definitely not a stealth aircraft with the head sticking out the bottom

    Nice work - Always good to see Macross models being done here :thumb:

    Umm, why not just go with the VF-0A Phoenix? Its roughly the same scale as an IRL fighter, if slightly shorter (the F-14 that all VFs are effectively based upon is still larger), and has about an 85% identical layout for how it both looks visually, and transforms, when compared to the VF-1 series. Well, as long as you're not looking at the VF-0D, with its delta wing.

    (warning, I'm a massive fan, so I'm likely going to go into ludicrous levels of detail here that really aren't needed at all)

    The VF-1 series is specifically supposed to be smaller, due to Earth having not quite figured out how to make larger thermonuclear engines designed for small craft, at that time. Either it was VF-1 sized, which is why the shuttles all have tons of engines, or it skipped up to the size found on the Oberths, ARMDs, and the SDF-01 itself. It wasn't until a decade after Earth got glassed that they started building VFs that even came close to the size of modern day fighters. Heck, the VF-5000 Star Mirage is actually shorter then the VF-1 by about three-quarters of a meter.

    Valkyrie! When you absolutely, positively have to look like an ostrich wearing shoulder pads doing mach 6 while still sitting on the ground, accept no substitute!

    That looks fantastic. :thumb:

    Converted into a standard single seater, with appropriate livery. :)

    Ha HAW! WOW! Can't wait to see this thing do it's thing.

    I have to point out that nose is the right shape from the side but the front it's too blocky.
    I didn't notice until now.
  • SeanPSeanP218 Posts: 256Member
    Looks awesome! Your textures are really great! This fighter looks like a very cool cross between and F-14 and an F-18!

    eosmusashi's recent awesomeness prompted me to dust off my VF-1D and try out some cartoony shaders. :)
