Macross 7 VF-19 Custom Excalibur

I had some sparetime left, and instead of working on the Hildagarde 3 of Final Fantasy IX, I did a modification of the YF-19 to the VF-19 Custom that is used by Basara Nekki in Macross 7.
For this one I had more to do then just switching the textures.

As you can see on this picture the top vertical stabilizers moved to the mainbody instead sitting on the "legs" (legs in battroid mode). The main wings were straightened and the mainbody got more arrow like. The engine exhaust was undergoing more drastical changes and the front horizontal stabilizers shrinked a bit. Changes were done on the "Shield" (used in battroid mode on the left arm) and the top part of the legs got rounder compared to the edgy YF-19 version.


Here you can see that I changed the jet intakes to be more 3D like instead of just applying black color. The bottom vertical stabilizers were removed too. Just check the other pictures.




Even if it is just a modification it need some annoying UVW mapping work. Development work will start "when I've got some time again". Hope this won't be in 3 years :D
