91WhiskeyM6 Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 I like the Yammy better. The 1/48 doesn't even look like a play toy. It's actually like a model that's more durable to handle. Quote
peter Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 (edited) I finally gave in last week and picked up a fast-pack set....I didn't even have a 1/48 valk yet.....I was planning on waiting for the VF-1S Hikaru release but couldn't wait any longer and went out and got the low-vis the very next day. I'm pretty happy with it...I'm biased to models, but the 1/48 scale comes pretty close. As for detail, the club-M still dominates.....if anyone compares the Yammie as a model to the Club-M, and says they like the yammie better, they're *uckin' nuts. The Yam can't compare to the club-M for detail. However, as a toy, it's the best one I've ever owned. Anyway, back on topic, does anyone have more pics of the two side-by-side?

Radd Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 Whoa, how come the vernier thrusters on the Club-M fastpacks stick out so much? For the longest time, people were obsessed with oversized verniers on the FAST packs. I've never been a fan of the look, but the Club M's overall detail more than makes up for it. This reminds me, way back when, someone posted some low-res, very fuzzy pictures of the 1/48 FAST packs and somehow deduced that the verniers on them would be oversized like that... Quote

Yeah, everyone was going oooohhhh and ahhhhhhh everytime pics of a custom with oversized verniers was posted. Yamato comes up with the proto pics of the FP's with appropriately sized verniers and everyone goes native. At least everyone simmered down once they got theirs Quote
peter Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Haha, was just google imaging Club M 1/48 and spotted this dusty old thread. Does anyone happen to have all three 1/48s of our beloved VF-1? It would be nice to see some nice quality shots of the Club M, Yamato and the Hasegawa 1/48 side-by-side. I realise that Hasegawa never put out a Strike version (though they damn well should), but still, it'd be nice to compare the details. Quote
Lupin The Third Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Are these Club M still available? Quote
Jefuemon Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Are these Club M still available? On auction, or people who will never build them selling them. Plan on paying around $400-600 for one. Quote
Silvestri Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I wonder if I can commission anyone (where's wm-cheng?) to build mine.. haha. Quote
vlenhoff Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Wow, i was in love back then! Resurrected from 2003! Beautiful piece vf_1s Quote
peter Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Here is mine Sweet custom, had to do a double-take there because I thought you posted pics of a Club M! Do you happen to have the Club-M as well? Is it possible to ask you to take some new pictures with it side-by-side with the Club-M? Also, haha, guess you don't happen to have the new Hasegawa 1/48 built and picture-ready do you? I wonder if I can commission anyone (where's wm-cheng?) to build mine.. haha. I'm not sure WM-Cheng does commission jobbies, but you might want to contact Kurt. Edited January 19, 2013 by peter Quote
erikos0311 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Sweetenesssssss! Nice detail vf_1s..... I too had to do a double take on your 1/48.... At first glance it looked like a new improved version of a club-M! I immediately thought I had missed out on new posts revealing new kits! Lol. I like your display area and sharpness of the spread of weapons. Quote
vf_1s Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Thank you for the complement guys! Sorry I don't have the Club-M. I wish I do. I have only seen it once in person (unbuild), it belongs to a friend of mine. The detail of that kit sitll amaze me. That is where I got the insperation for this one Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 That's a pretty classy display you have there, vf_1s. I love the wing mods you did to it as well. Where did the little carts come from? Quote
