The6ftTallAZN Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 Um... I didn't know where this should go (as usual) so here I go... does anybody have a pic of the VF-1S that Max flies in DYRL? I'm in the middle of drawing a pic of all of Max's Valkyries and can't remember the colors of the 1S. Quote
yellowlightman Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 Seems hard to find "official" VF-1S Max pictures, I quickly looked on google and the only decent thing I could find was this, but that's just somebody's custom. My guess is just use Max's VF-1A scheme from DYRL and put a 1S head on it Quote
Anubis Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 Max's heatshield should be blue though. Quote
Chowser Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 (edited) don't forget the arrows on the head shameless plug http://www.menet.umn.edu/~ngo/pchow_vf-1s_max.html Edited September 16, 2003 by Chowser Quote
Prime Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 <---- How about my avator? I have a larger picture of it if you are interested. Whether it is a truly accruate portrail of the colour scheme, I don't know... Quote
Agent ONE Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 Max's heatshield should be blue though. No it shouldn't... Watch DYRL. When one gets a 1S their heatshield is black. Quote
ArchVile Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 ITS BLACK Piece of evidence 1 If you notice, Max got really lucky when you see where the hits land Quote
Skull Leader Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 (edited) Here is one small piece of evidence that discounts that. Even in DYRL, where the animation and art was so much better than the TV series. In this scene I present you with Max's VF-1S with NO COLOR AT ALL. It also bears mentioning that in one screenshot that Roy had a YELLOW heatshield. My best guess is that the color does not really matter. Most here would like to think that it was a blue heatshield. A few think it was black (and yes, a couple of screenshots substantiate this).... but you could get away with either. Personally I think that Blue would've held better... especially since Hikaru's VF-1S had a red heatshield (as seen in good-solid scenes that were clear) Edit: Ok, the damn picture won't work.... at any rate, there's a scene while he's fighting milia inside the ship where his valkyrie is black and white only.

Personally, I think the colored heatshields look very ugly. So given the disturbing lack of continuity present, I choose black heatshields as "correct". Quote
Graham Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Sorry, officially Max's VF-1S heatshield is blue, just as Hikaru's VF-1S heatshield is officially red. Graham Quote
JB0 Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Then I shall revel in unofficial blasphemy! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Quote
Keith Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Roy's heat shield was only gold as the light reflected off it just right, Max assumedly uses a similar dark reflective color in his blue heat shield. Quote
Prime Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Perhaps Max just had it repainted at one point? Quote
Agent ONE Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Perhaps Max just had it repainted at one point? Nah, animation mistakes all over the place... If BW changed their minds and made the heatshield color for Max and Hikaru, but not for Roy, they are dumber than I thought. 1S heatshield should be black. Quote
Gerwalker Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Sorry, officially Max's VF-1S heatshield is blue, just as Hikaru's VF-1S heatshield is officially red.Graham It's a pitty that the Hasegawa VF-1S Strike Battroid kit has no decals for a 1S Max (OK: it is logical since he was never seen flying a strike). The instructions clearly shows a black shield for Roy and a red one for Hikaru and Hase kits are officially sanctioned AFAIK. Quote
bsu legato Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 I like the blue-on-blue color sceme for Max's VF-1S. Only Roy's looks good with the blac heatshield. Quote

Dont, forget, the 1/48 Hikaru 1S has a red heatshield, too, so that's more evidence. Quote

Abombz!! Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 (edited) Yes there is an upcoming 1/48 Hikaru 1s.... or was it already out? It has black heatshield. Edited September 17, 2003 by Abombz!! Quote
Agent ONE Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Yes there is an upcoming 1/48 Hikaru 1s.... or was it already out? It has black heatshield. Hmmmm. Link me to a pic... The only Hikaru DYRL 1S toy I have ever seen was the one made by Bandai, and that had a BLACK heatshield. Quote
Agent ONE Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Here it is: Is that something Yamato is actually going to make? Quote
Abombz!! Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Here it is: Is that something Yamato is actually going to make? Coming out next month. Quote
Agent ONE Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Here it is: Is that something Yamato is actually going to make? Coming out next month. Well as we all know that BW approves all designs before they are made, I guess Graham is mistaken about what is "official." Quote
JsARCLIGHT Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 ... but the one actually coming out from Yamato will have a RED heatshield! That pic of the Hikaru 1S with the black heatshield is only like that because they photoshopped a pre-exsisting Roy 1S into red and could not change the black shield. RED RULES! BLACK DROOLS! Quote
bsu legato Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Hasegawa also likes the red heatshield. Quote
The6ftTallAZN Posted September 18, 2003 Author Posted September 18, 2003 Look what I started... I think I'm going to use the blue shield. Quote
Pat Payne Posted September 18, 2003 Posted September 18, 2003 Then I shall revel in unofficial blasphemy! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Excuse me sir, but then I must ask...how tall are you, so that we're sure to have the right size stake... Quote
bandit29 Posted September 18, 2003 Posted September 18, 2003 One could argue either for the black or red heat shield since the Hikaru VF-1S appears with both in DYRL. Even the skulls on the FP boosters change colors. IIRC, the VF-1S Max is clearly black in every scene. I don't think an "official" pic of the Max VF-1S with a blue heat shield exists. Quote
Skull Leader Posted September 18, 2003 Posted September 18, 2003 How's about we just let it drop here? We're going in circles. Use the heatshield of your choice. Some think the 1S should have a black heatshield regardless of who's piloting it... others think it should be a representative color... . <---------------------------- see that? That's about TEN MILLION pounds of compressed "I don't give a damn"..... use the version of your choice ad-nauseum. Quote

And of course, even Bandai later made a correct red clip on heatshield for the 1/55 VF-1S Strike Valkyrie. See here. Banpresto made an SD VF-1S Hikaru with red heatshield and removable Strike Armor a couple of years ago. Graham Quote
