big F Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I think the problem with the line art and Yamato Vf19 is that you have a Grey area between what is shown as a YF19 and a VF19. My take on it is the YF being the prototype has a different gun to the fully commissioned VF19. Add to that the various hybrids built by different companies under licence (in the Macross universe) and you get a whole lot of discrepancies. Best bet is go with what you like best. Nobody here will blame you for that. Quote

Noyhauser Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Do you have a Hase YF-19 hanging around? Its gunpod looks gorgeous (at least in my eyes) Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) YF-19 and VF-19 gunpods are almost similar except for a bump in the upper middle as far as I've seen, but I guess it's a proper assumption big F, thanks nope, too bad I don't have a Hasegawa YF-19, would have made my life a lot easier, hehehehe; and Nexx Stalker, nice VF-19Kai and VF-25, sweet job, did you paint the vinyl red on the kai or just the other pieces that needed painting? post more pics man!! I wanna see!! well...slow progress with the gunpod, I still need to properly shape the rearend and those little thingies on the tip and sand everything smooth...ugg, I hate sanding never noticed before, but the gunpod looks like a fish!

Valkyrie addict Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) dude's waiting for his gunpod and panel lining, hahaha Edited December 29, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) well...almost done, got impatient again and had to see it all assembled...I'll be traveling to Mexico for a week so I'll probably finish this after that Edited December 29, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote
Nexx Stalker Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) Your custom is awesome. Here's my Kay in its original form (I finally managed to finish it yesterday!) Comparison with other 1/72 scale Valkyries Edited January 10, 2009 by Nexx Stalker Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) nice job Nexx Stalker, pleasure to have you're fine job pictures in here for comparison, looks greatwell...some panel lining done since I returned monday night, I'm finding a bit difficult to work with the panel lines since they were so thin in the vynil and a bit of their detail got lost in the sanding and painting, should had deepen them but oh well (lesson learned about vynil), I think i'll have this finished by the end of the week Edited December 29, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Looking very good!!! I'll eagerly wait for the finished pics Quote
505thAirborne Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 The dark blue paint you used is a perfect match, looks really good so far!! Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) ok, end of the week and I'm done with the VF-19, so to summarize, this I what did the kit was originally a VF-19 Kai Basara, I modded the head and shoulders into the VF-19S type, did from scratch the gunpod and painted in the blue blazer scheme from Macross7 I decided to go with white panel lining to make them highlight more in contrast with the blue and applied a flat coat on the kit to give it a more dramatic look, well, thanks everyone for their kind words and encouragement, hope you enjoy the pics Edited January 19, 2009 by Valkyrie addict Quote
