Dat giant tenjin picture is crazy cool too! Suitable for a macross room!
-
Awesome! What a happy coincidence that battroid mode fits in the cockpit! now do one with the KC Hikaru pilot sitting on a 1/48 DX! Or standing facing the battroid!
-
One thing's for sure one must have 3 DX's to test with...heheh....but yes very curious to know if a stand can take 3 DX VF-1...

Yups! The A-stance of this DX gerwalk is such a beast that it looks like it would take up the whole shelf floor. With the wings spread, and toes pointing forward, rocking the valk back onto the heels (due to the heavy metal feet and solid ankles), gerwalk is gonna be hard to fit with fighter and battroid on the same shelf plane. Spanner solved this by having fighter go under the extra plastic shelf.
-
yums! Looks like there is still space around them to not make the shelf look too crowded. However i thk with its size, this must be the only arrangement available to you, ie gerwalk needs to be on a pedestal.

Wow what a gunpod rack! Erm i mean as in the novel way to store away the gunpod.......no offense plz!. no hairline crack near the front top intakes of my copy. And kudos to your presentation portions on the comparisons! Impeccably done with nice transition and overlay of graphics!

Its late, past midnight and am still up watching the dogfight between isamu and guld over again for the umpteenth time... And happened to wish for a gimmick i never tot i wanted till now...collapsing leg thrusters....
-
Now, thats just silly. Oh....pardon me...i didnt see your ministry..
-
The record-keeping on valk toy history is inspiring! Well thats what my thumbs up were for anyway! Oh unless you thought i gave 2 thumbs up for the downvotes? I guess its good i mentioned what the thumbs up is then!

1/48 VF-25 will do more than knock socks off, the wallet too would be blasted to oblivion...esp with a corresponding armor pack! But I cant imagine myself collecting too many 1/48's either. As it is with collecting, sometimes you end up with more than you originally planned for. Hope that bandai does do vermillion squadron though. I will cross the bridge of evaluating my purchasing decisions ie budget along the way.
-
Hmm all this talk abt color, I really wouldn’t mind an angel birds scheme in 1:48 DX...but I know that would be some time before that is even feasible...bandai gotta cycle through the fan favourite valks first right.. Now the difficult thing is waiting for the next 1/48 DX..
-
Remove the arm from the base and turn it around. The arm wont go in all the way back into the base, but at least you have the lettering pointed the same direction.
-
Hopefully there would be a way to maintain it. If its just a matter of tightening the screws, that would be easiest. I already concerned abt my valk doing the splits and the supers aren't even out yet!
-
This is a nice effort, and simple to implement. Whether it be light or medium or heavy lining, is all a matter of individual preference. Like a work of art! Any panel lining will make the toy looks less than a toy and more of a model. Being a lazy bones when it comes to customizing, most likely mine will stay stock. However, i will really see if i can panel line one too.. ^second that! Yeah i agree with lolicon, panel lining is to bring out the tiny details for a more model-ish display value. Weathering is a separate matter to bring in realism to the toy/model. I suppose those are mutually exclusive, although some may say, you shouldn't weather without also having panel lining. But its ok to panel line and not weathered. My 2 cents. No offense given, nor taken.

Would any folks foresee a 'serious' loosening of joints over time, if too wide of an A-stance is displayed? Cant imagine what the weight of the fuselage would do to; 1. rotation knee joint (at 1/48 scale, meaning top heavy). 2. ankle joint (i tend to shift the weight of the entire valk onto the back heels, since it looks more dynamic with the toes forward) I just love the A-stance on this thing, combined with the heft in the feet. Tend to leave it standing on its own...
-
wow this thread is moving so fast... Love all the panel lined results! I had always tot the gunpod had upside down UNspacy from even back in the day when macross came out. Never knew it was in contention... As for the arms tendency to pop out of the tabs sometimes, i posted that i found adjusting the arms along the slider rails, helps to keep the arms locked into the tabs. So far its still aligned after i adjusted it. yeah i noticed he mentions it most of the times, when someone asks him abt the beginnings of macross and how he designed the valks. Still nice to hear
-
Am quite ok with the bare metal gears actually. I like the industrial look of it.. but who knows I might consider it if more folks paint their gear and put it up for show...just a matter of taste... oh yeah but what color would one be painting the gears on the DX? Since it is TV grey, white landing gears might seem out of place?
-
Not for the first valk at least! Who knows after the vf-1, there might have been some influence from birds in flight! For example I always tot that the high speed fighter mode of the yf-19 resembles a dive bombing kingfisher or osprey... Only four?
-
Skiing is the normal gerwalk with arms deployed, yes. My speed skating reference was to armless gerwalk mode..hahah... but one things for sure, certainly reflects Kawamori-san’s thinking at the time he developed the inverted knee joint that he was thinking abt skiers bending the knees .. Next Valkyrie prototype! Valks with vector nozzles that can also grab things! Wow that would be interesting!! Imagine dive-bombing from top to fighter beneath you and shredding your enemy with your valk claws!! Do it Kawamori-San!!!! wait, sounds like something the sv-51 valk could have done??
-
Well i checked back in the Sv51 thread, first announced in Feb '17! Updated with pics July 18!... We are already near the 2-year mark since the SV-51 was announced... so arcadia "should" have a pretty well mocked up SV by wonderfest...
-
perhaps true...after all he needs the arms of battroid but the speed of a fighter! too mind boggling! So that's what you get when you pull all BGF levers.... p.s. There are also 5 other variants i.e. I have tuesdays till saturdays. The sunday version will be an online exclusive.
-
I moved the DX into the main room just to see what it would look like. And wow, its certainly fits the bill as a centerpiece, with it being on the exclusive stand, really eye catching!
