Wicked Ace Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I thought the real-life VX-9 Vampires squadron vertical stailizer art was appropriate for my dark colored -19. I'm glad to finally get the pieces of this one off my table. First off, fighter mode pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I recall getting a PM from you a while ago asking for VX-9 logos---did anything I send help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) I recall getting a PM from you a while ago asking for VX-9 logos---did anything I send help? Yes, and thank you (again and again) for all your help. What you sent me actually went on a VF-1 "Stealth" of mine; the VF-1 for obvious reasons reminds me of the black F-14 Tomcat. Also, the "Vampires" art appeared on the F-14's replacement, F/A-18E "Super Hornet," so it wasn't much of a stretch for me (in a Macross state of mind) to carry the Vampires theme over to the -19.

Sumdumgai Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Holy crap, that 19 is so mindblowingly awesome! Great custom, wicked ace! Now, I really hope Yamato puts out a Stealth VF-19A... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikhii Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 OMG!... this is one black beauty that i will surely grab if it's in the shops. Fantastic color and i would surely think of doing it on my VF-0s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Can we add that to the MW custom toy gallery? Graham forget the customs gallery, show it to yamato. have them ask wicked if they can release it as a low viz paint scheme and pay him for his work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Can we add that to the MW custom toy gallery? Graham As always with any custom I post pics of, you can place in the MW custom toy gallery. However, I do intend to follow the directions spelled out in the pinned "What Customs . . ." thread; a friend of mine, who is a way better photographer (and has a way better camera), has promised to take photos of this custom. When he follows through, I'll post the "good" photos in the appropriate thread (as per the instructions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Very awesome pics WickedAce. I think it'll look awesome and more "Vampiry" if you made the visor red. My 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big F Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I always thought out of all the non cannon Vf1 yammies the Stealth was the best, just goes to show I was right and the Vf 19 is as good as a Stealth. Yamato have to do one I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizman Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Wow, very nice custom and great work! I'd probably buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Bloody brilliant WA! That is absolutely one of the best customs I've ever seen. I wouldn't think that a black and grey color scheme would look so good on the YF-19, but for some reason it suits this mecha more than almost any other I've sever seen in similar fan-favorite-black-colors. This is simply amazing work. Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Mancini Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 This black scheme looks especially fantastic in B-mode. I think it's because it helps to hide some of the unsightly grooves/chunks that Yamato had to take out of the thighs to make the F-mode fit together flat. The legs look almost thicker, or more proportionately correct at least, in that dark colour. I was personally rooting for Yamato to do some kind of low vis non cannon scheme instead of a stealth or supernova, but this custom is really swaying my opinion right now.

Valkyrie addict Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 i'm speechless...wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awacs Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 That is a very, very nice custom. Makes my one attempt at a repainted Valkyrie look even shoddier than it actually is (which I didn't think was possible). The colour scheme works really well on the -19. Makes me want to get a Hasegawa -21 and see what it would look like on that. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
