Gotta go back to the classics: That bridge ("In the chill of night...") is what does it for me.

Poor SMS'er is gonna be SOL. Nice to see someone bust out a custom of the VF-25.

This is about the closest you can get it (From Wicked Ace's pic collection): Wicked Ace also did one of the YF-19 sorta mimicking the YF-21's high-speed mode.

[Emperor Palpatine style]: Now witness the true power of the flexi with this fully-armed and fully-loaded 1/48 Valk! Another shot of a flexi holding a slightly-beyond vertical pose (this time with the -19). Also, thanks for the compliments and for even considering posting one of my pics, m0n5t3r. But I've always consider these poses to be my favorite go-to shot for showing off how awesome the flexi's can be: For me, I usually use a flexi with one rod of each length (i.e., one 2-inch prong, one 4-inch prong, and one 6-inch prong) for my poses.

Mmmmmmmm, Thunder Hummer Yumminess!

Nah, they'll probably still butcher it by pronouncing "St. John" as "Saint John" rather than "Sinjun." Speaking of which, who the frak names their sons Stringfellow and St. John?

myk, what's that P-51 Mustang-looking fighter there?

I know I've posted this pic before, but these two bastards are my personal fave's: Yes, I like all of the various Valks I own and have spent many hours stickering up, panel-lining (some of them), and fussing over 'em to get their poses just right. But the extra time, effort, and planning that went into these two particular valks is what makes them special to me. To see your custom ideas and schemes come to physical fruition can be very rewarding. That's why they're my sentimental favorites.

Love the switched focus on those last two photos! Great composition, set-up, and poses.

Well shoot, if we had some more enemy mechas, we wouldn't have to resort to fighting amongst ourselves. Besides, Millia and Nora are liable to kill the snot out of anyone not named Max or Ivanov that tries to get a little "frisky" with them! So, our poor Valks need to get some pent-up aggression out.

Although its highly doubtful that something with wings that small could ever launch off the ground, the overall look and size of the X-19 makes her quite a beaut'. And once you extend the wings and pop out the machine guns? The Phantom takes on an almost bat-like appearance. I still have a complete one (with functional but slightly damaged landing gear) chilling back at my parents' place. Also, the Phantom's pilot, Ghostrider, would be my Number Two choice for a character Hasbro hasn't remade in the modern line.

Sweet in-flight pics, eugi! To add a bit more on how I approach "working" with the flexi's: I usually start by imagining how I'm gonna set up a pose. Then I adjust the rods to a position where I can get the stand to hold the correct pose and angle. In other words, I try to make the pose dictate how the flexi should be positioned; not allow the flexi to dictate how the pose should be. Of course, there's a lot of futzing, repositioning, and using different parts of the plane to hold a particular pose or tweak an angle ever so slightly. I've found the ventral fins and the leg FP nozzles on a lot of the birds to be quite useful as a rod placement point. The flat underbelly of the FP'ed YF-21 with all its little nooks and crannies is also pretty flexi-friendly. Additionally, using different lengths for each rod usually helps a bit when coming up with more dynamic poses. And different lengths are absolutely essential if you're gonna attempt any battroid poses. In any case, less words, more pictures: Well, well. Look what decided to pop up out of its foxhole. . .must suck to be you. Blackjack: Alright, Old Man. The -19's MINE. . . "superior plane" my ass. Stealth: Fine, I'll take out the -11. . . bringing a bloody bayonet to an Itano circus.

^^Maybe they can sober up Jan-Michael Vincent enough to make a cameo, or cast him as the new Archangel.

Thanks, eugi! Next photo: <In an awful, fake French accent>: "Love, 'ate [hate]............Ehh. It is all PASSION!!!"

Roy: CHICKEN-HANDS MAX!!!! Or "Hey Hik'! Lend me your gunpod for a minute. I've gotta 'dance' with a Meltrandi-frakking ace."

Guld: GET THE F*#K OUT OF THE WAY, ISAMU!!!!!
