DWN013 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) His death in DYRL? was sloppy, and i don't rate his skill much compared to Max or Hikaru (final run) That's why i don't care much for getting the VF-1S v.2 1/60, already have the 1/48 version with TV Hikaru as pilot and both arms taken off to recreate the scene with him and Misa getting the flock outta there! I did that with the 1/60 2.0: Here's something the 1/48 can't do: More in the Pose thread. Also, my 2 cents on the 1S colors thing... Roy is by far my favorite, 'cause he's VF-84 Jolly Rogers.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Yeah man i've been hanging out to check out your pics but didn't have time to remember over the weekend, Here, office internet settings won't allow me to view pics from various sites. Cool that you minused the arms off the 1/60! I'm gonna do that with the VF-1D ala gerwalk save Minmay epi 1. Now i have thought to open up a new thread... Edited December 10, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
eugimon Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 A new thread? Like: Post your dismembered and maimed Yamatos here? thread?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 no no - > http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=28451&st=0 < - here In regards to what was the most useful mode overall in regards to all series/OVAS and movies. Sorry to dissapoint you o' Lord Omega Pants, i'll let you make up a thread for that one haha.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 can't see it being a happy place, everyone will be placing up all their VF-1's v.2's with crack'ness and of course the tons of broken shoulders being the VF-0's... then everyone will turn anti Yamato and the thread will be eventually locked due to the hate swell.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) oo oo oo with a super fun happy slide? :---D I love my yamatos. I'm a lucky one who hasn't had to experience what others had. Just hope the 1S v.2 has been dealt with, no cases of the 1J v.2 yet?? Edited December 10, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
UN Spacy Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Wanna bet that NO changes have been made (to the shoulders)?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Yeah why not. I bet my 95% happiness with Yamato.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Wanna bet that NO changes have been made (to the shoulders)? Hoping changes were made, but wouldn't be surprised if they weren't.
anime52k8 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Hoping changes were made, but wouldn't be surprised if they weren't. technically there were no design changes because there wasn't anything wrong with the design. apparently the shoulder thing was a result of them being incorrectly assembled, but Yamato's slave drivers yelled at their Chinese sweat shop workers and now things are all better.
GianS Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Hi Shin I will check tonight for a comparison between the 1/48 and 1/60 shoulders. I do have a VF-1A Low Vis... as that is one of the older releases will it still be valid to make the comparison? Also do i need to transform to do the check... I am not really sure what you want me to compare.. Thanks, G P.S Found a small what looks like an airbubble on my VF-1J cockpit visor
schmungbeen Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 VF-1D now on Yamato's site VF-1D Sweet! I always liked the 1D
Javabean Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 VF-1D now on Yamato's site VF-1D I sure hope the UN spacy logo along with other details will be tampo print on actual product.
Dobber Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Crud, still the same old crappy nose/canopy sculpt. Chris
connor99 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Guess I'll have to wait for the SUPER OSTRICH then.
ff95gj Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Comparing the new 1D with the old one (both Yamato 1/60)... I found that I like the old one better. The new one has the nosecone too short? As they wish to be more "balanced" in battroid mode for the 1/60 v2 series I suppose. Old: New: Yamato, sell us the 1/48 VF-1D!
Vostok 7 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Crud, still the same old crappy nose/canopy sculpt. Chris What do you mean "same old". It's completely different than the old 1/60 -1D, and actually pretty close to line-art. Comparing the new 1D with the old one (both Yamato 1/60)... I found that I like the old one better. The new one has the nosecone too short? As they wish to be more "balanced" in battroid mode for the 1/60 v2 series I suppose. Old: New: Yamato, sell us the 1/48 VF-1D! Yeah, I hate to say it, but I preferred the old "mosquito nose" on the original 1/60 VF-1D. The new one looks a little stubby. But it's not terrible, I'll still get one because I luvs me some two-seaters. It's been said that the stubby-ish nose is actually more correct (which is why the 1/48 was also "stubby nosed" compared to the 1/60). The problem is, the long canopy on the -1D accentuates the shortness of the nose on the new sculpt where on the old one it looked "just right" while the single-seaters looked long and spindly. I have to admit, I've always liked Hasegawa's take on the -1D: Vostok 7
VFTF1 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Yay! The 1-D. Where are the pre-orders?? Pete
Fly4victory Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 If targeted purchases is a way to send a message to Yamato then the VF-1D is the aircraft to get. Hopefully Yamato receives the message that people want two seaters. The 1D might be the first of the new 1/60 that I buy.
Fly4victory Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Here's something the 1/48 can't do: Nice series of photos but the 1/48 can do it.

Hopefully Yamato receives the message that people want two seaters. The 1D might be the first of the new 1/60 that I buy. Yeah, I still want to see them make a VF-0D or VF-0B. Or both, since the VF-0B would be easy to make once they've done the -0D. Vostok 7
edwin3060 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Yeah, I still want to see them make a VF-0D or VF-0B. Or both, since the VF-0B would be easy to make once they've done the -0D. Vostok 7 +1000
eugimon Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Yeah, I'd wander back over that thin sheet of ice that is the VF-0 for a B and D variant.
VFTF1 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Nice series of photos but the 1/48 can do it. But the 1/48 1S can't do it... the bending out of the neck thing... at least I tried last night and it can't - or should...apply more pressure? Pete

I have to admit, I've always liked Hasegawa's take on the -1D: Vostok 7 I was not refering to the V.1 VF-1D I was talking about the current sculpt. There was some talk that they may have been refining it since it isn't very accurate ( canopy seems too bulbous and not long enough). I was stating that it hasn't changed, and me-no-likey..... it's too VT-1ish for my taste. Chris Edited December 10, 2008 by Dobber
ghostryder Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 That's because it's the same old recycled pics Yamato is using. With the relase date approaching (Feb 09?) and no new pics, I doubt there will be any change to the nose. Alas, we got stuck with giraffe-necked single-seater battroids for nothing...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Same pics as before, sigh, does that mean the so-called due improvements were full of sh^t? Hope it's just Yamato being lazy and just putting up the old photos...
chukissaki Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I am coming back after a several year hiatus, what is different between the V 2.0 and the original 1/60s ?
eugimon Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 they're like mini 1/48's with some new refinements like double jointed elbows
m0n5t3r Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 they're like mini 1/48's with some new refinements like double jointed elbows ... and cracking shoulder hinges...
DWN013 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Nice series of photos but the 1/48 can do it. But the 1/48 1S can't do it... the bending out of the neck thing... at least I tried last night and it can't - or should...apply more pressure? Pete Yeah, I meant the 1/48 S can't do it. Specifically it can't recreate the scene where Hikaru cuts open the bulkhead to Misa.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Ohhh, is this is what it's about, ages ago i actually applied more force than usual and got the 1S head around really nicely, give me a few mins to try and track down an old pic, the 1/48 1S can do it that's for sure. Can the 1/60 v.2 do it?? Edited December 10, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
