The scene right after his first outing as Iron Man, he can't even get the suit off because of how mangled it is and Pepper even asks if those are bullet holes.
I kinda agree with you. I thoughtthere was a sense of claustrophobia and tension that was natural in Asylum that I find forced and contrived in City but it's still a really fun game and there's enough new things to keep it interesting and fun.
has the conformal fuel tanks removed, so it doesn't have the popeye arms. Has the hip kibble moved to the legs and there looks to be some other mold changes to the skirt and torso.
And what I think is the best improvement, there's a dedicated HEEL piece and not just the thruster so making it stand should be a lot easier this time around.
Not really, no. The vf-11 still folds in half but instead of the fuselage sliding in under the chest plate, the chest plate folds underneath it. The only other notable difference is that the arms swing out from on top of the fighter instead of from underneath.
But whether or not you agree, my point still stands. The vast majority of valkyries fall into one of those two families. There's precious few designs that really deviate from them.
meh, nearly all of the valks are either variations on the vf-1 or the sv-51
vf-1, vf-11, vf-5000, vf-22, all have clam shell design
sv-51, vf-19, vf-25,27,29 have the Z fold.
I don't know how you can say there isn't a collar there. There's the neck, there's a thing that the neck sits on top of that's not the rest of the body. If you want to say that is a "collar" only when the v2 does it and a "surface" when it's in the line art... okay...
The eye on the v.2 is a little bit above the top of the chest plate but collar or no collar, the head position of the v2 and the hi-metal are the same. Both the hi-metal and v2 get the head position wrong.
As a guy who owns four first release vf-0s, three of which had exploding shoulders, I can only say that I wish my ver1 armored ozma was as good as those.
not the best scan but you can clearly see that there's a collar. There's another image in the book showing the transformation sequence and that render has a collar as well. There's myriad other battroid renders without the the collar as well though.
and yet if you look in Macross Design Works you'll see plainly how the line art for the vf-1 changes, pretty radically. Just compare the SDF:M drawings to the ones done for DYRL. And even in drawings from the same series, sometimes the head is comically huge, sometimes they look like they're wearing boxing gloves.
So you want to say product X is or isn't like the line art? Fine, which one? Because there are several and they all take liberties with the proportions.
and for fun, compare the proportions on the SDF:M or DYRL line art with the proportions shown in the VF-1 Master File. They don't agree at all either. Nor do those proportions match up with either the 1/48, v2 1/60 or the hi-metal. They all deviate from each other.
it looks to me like you're off to a good start! You definitely take some of the cleanest yet striking photos on the board! Keep up the impressive work.
