VX-9 "Vampires"

Recommended Posts

I recall getting a PM from you a while ago asking for VX-9 logos---did anything I send help?

Yes, and thank you (again and again) for all your help. What you sent me actually went on a VF-1 "Stealth" of mine; the VF-1 for obvious reasons reminds me of the black F-14 Tomcat. Also, the "Vampires" art appeared on the F-14's replacement, F/A-18E "Super Hornet," so it wasn't much of a stretch for me (in a Macross state of mind) to carry the Vampires theme over to the -19.

Can we add that to the MW custom toy gallery?

As always with any custom I post pics of, you can place in the MW custom toy gallery. However, I do intend to follow the directions spelled out in the pinned "What Customs . . ." thread; a friend of mine, who is a way better photographer (and has a way better camera), has promised to take photos of this custom. When he follows through, I'll post the "good" photos in the appropriate thread (as per the instructions).

Bloody brilliant WA! That is absolutely one of the best customs I've ever seen. I wouldn't think that a black and grey color scheme would look so good on the YF-19, but for some reason it suits this mecha more than almost any other I've sever seen in similar fan-favorite-black-colors. This is simply amazing work. Wow!

This black scheme looks especially fantastic in B-mode. I think it's because it helps to hide some of the unsightly grooves/chunks that Yamato had to take out of the thighs to make the F-mode fit together flat. The legs look almost thicker, or more proportionately correct at least, in that dark colour.

I was personally rooting for Yamato to do some kind of low vis non cannon scheme instead of a stealth or supernova, but this custom is really swaying my opinion right now.

That is a very, very nice custom. Makes my one attempt at a repainted Valkyrie look even shoddier than it actually is (which I didn't think was possible). The colour scheme works really well on the -19. Makes me want to get a Hasegawa -21 and see what it would look like on that.
