Anime or model? Japanese artist makes perfect cel-shaded Macross Diorama, Digital News

I’m sorry, but I can’t view images directly. If you can describe what’s in the picture—character poses, background details, color palette, or any text that appears—I’ll gladly help you determine whether it’s related to the Super Dimension Fortress Macross anime from 1982 (or not).

Big Reveal! Are You Convinced?

Take a breath, because here’s the zoomed‑out image that’s bound to change the game.

  • It gives you a bird‑eye view of the whole scene.
  • From this angle, every detail pops into focus.
  • Whether you’re skeptical or already amazed, it’s hard to miss.

Meet the Sculptor Who Made a Valkyrie Come Alive

Twitter’s pop‑pin Annkoromoti is not just a dot‑mist friends’ name; she’s a powerhouse of shaping, modelling, and mini‑world creation straight from Japan. If you’ve ever dreamed of a VF‑1 Valkyrie landing in a custom hangar, this artist turned that fantasy into a concrete, cell‑shaded reality.

What’s the Avatar?

The VF‑1 Valkyrie is the flagship mecha from the classic Macross anime. Think of it as a fighter plane that can flip into a beloved warrior drone—plus a huge dose of 80‑s nostalgia. Annkoromoti captured every swoop, every chrome panel, and flicked a splash of cell‑shading so the model looks like it just hopped straight out of the show.

Show‑stopping Side‑by‑Side

  • Anime Snapshot: The original in‑frame, bristling with kinetic energy.
  • Miniature Marvel: Build‑turned‑character pinned in a tiny hangar, complete with a subtle paint job that mimics the TV hues.

Take a peek at the jet on the social feed—original tweet—and you’ll see the level of detail that makes you want to flex your own Lego building skills for a week.

Zoom‑In: Detail Does the Double‑Double

  • Every rivet on the wings has been carefully placed.
  • The tiny cockpit has maintainers that seem ready for a quick dock.
  • Its firmware—just kidding, its paint—it looks like it’s fresh out of a production line.

Give yourself a minute to scroll through the close‑up shots—these get you to appreciate the tiny, painstaking touches that only a true artist would notice.

Beyond the Valkyrie

Annkoromoti didn’t stop at the VF‑1; she gave the VF‑1A Super Battroid its very own time capsule. That’s another Macross icon—more jet‑fueled, more easily broken, but equally stunning when built from scratch.

When you review both models side‑by‑side, you get a peek into how one artist can translate myth‑ic metal into something that actually hangs—a real homage to the original show, and a fresh showcase of incredible skill.

For those who keep wondering how a hobby can turn into a craft that breaks the internet, check out the creator’s workings. Grab your modeling kit, or at least your imagination, and say hello to the VF‑1 Valkyrie (in miniature form). If this isn’t talent, then what is that?
