nightmareB4macross Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 WOW!! Those 1/72s look amazing. I'm not too keen on these designs but looking at these models just makes me want to have them all. Great pics, honkhet.
SchizophrenicMC Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 So, basically, if I have plenty of light left to me, I can set the ISO as low as, say 64, and get fine images? I don't understand much of this. All I know is my camera's ISO goes down to 64, and that you're saying that a lower ISO is good if you have plenty of lighting.
eugimon Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 So, basically, if I have plenty of light left to me, I can set the ISO as low as, say 64, and get fine images? I don't understand much of this. All I know is my camera's ISO goes down to 64, and that you're saying that a lower ISO is good if you have plenty of lighting. Well, basically yeah. But you want to be careful not use too strong or direct light unless you're going for that look. In most cases, that is to take photo's like drifand and jenius, you're going to want diffused lighting that isn't too strong... but just strong enough. Having overly strong light can cause you to blow out your highlights or just have a washed out image in general or have very strong form and cast shadows or some horrible combination. If you know what you're doing and your camera is capable, you can take some great photos using strong direct light... like in many of Vegas' pics. So here's the thing, if you lower ISO to something low you may need to compensate with the shutter speed. If you can't fine tune that, it may be better just to leave it on "auto" and just try to control the light and use a tripod.
Vegas Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 i hope you are too, man... so you won't quit this hobby , what would we do w/out your valk mecha p0rn ... 75/25 na ba pre?!?! saya saya, parang bata ulit... mas high tech at mas mahal lang! lol hmmm im still 50/50

Swoosh Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 here goes, me and my 1/72 vf-25g model kit's desperate attempt to imitate swoosh and the 1/60 vf-25g DX chogokin... thanks for the inspiration swoosh, and hope you dont mind hope we didnt do too bad nice pic! honkhet! 1/72 looks good with Super Parts!
honkhet Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks guys for all the comments very appreciated
Sluff Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Great pics, one question, are these kits hard to paint or are they already painted like the Gundam models? I have yet to see these available anywhere in the US or any of the US e-tailers. These would go great with my 1/72 model airplanes
SchizophrenicMC Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Great pics, one question, are these kits hard to paint or are they already painted like the Gundam models? I have yet to see these available anywhere in the US or any of the US e-tailers. These would go great with my 1/72 model airplanes Put it this way: You don't HAVE to paint 'em, but you'll REALLY WANT TO. Also, Decals are a must. This is NOT Perfect Grade Strike Gundam.
kanedaestes Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Already painted to some extent and stickers for most part that isn't. They are just like your typical gundam figure.
Sluff Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the reply Edited April 14, 2009 by Sluff
glancer Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 these look awesome! wish i will have an army to pose some day.
VF-18S Hornet Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 More 1/60 love: whoa 1J versus HK - Valkyrie wins
SchizophrenicMC Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Already painted to some extent and stickers for most part that isn't. They are just like your typical gundam figure. Yeah. I'd put it on par with the 1/144 High Grades.
Master Dex Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 The VF-25 models are actually in between the High grade and Master grade Gundam models. All I did is panel line and apply stickers to my 1/72 Ozma and it looks great in my opinion. You only paint if you want something more personal than decals or stickers or if you want something custom. Panel lining just because it looks much nicer but they still can look good without it.
Kicker773 Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 dang.. sana kapit bahay kita pare... would be interesting to see a picture of high quality of the MG Shrine
miriya Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I like this one the best. VERY NICE! Macross1979, Do you have any of the Yamato Destroids? They are very nice. I have a Defender and it was worth the $$$.
Vegas Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 dang.. sana kapit bahay kita pare... would be interesting to see a picture of high quality of the MG Shrine same here man so i can see your entire collection too
honkhet Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 agreed with macross1979, everything is superb about this shot! the pose kicks so much ass, makes me really tempted to make a destroid my next purchase meanwhile, here's my 1/72 vf-25g super messiah again, this time in gerwalk mode no cheating this time
macross1979 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Macross1979, Do you have any of the Yamato Destroids? They are very nice. I have a Defender and it was worth the $$$. NO! I wish. I just can't see spending that much on them until I get all the v.2 1/60 VF-1s.
macross1979 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 This...my friend, looks BAD-A$$!!! Yes, that is bad a$$. You know what's even more bad a$$? This SIZE of the pics
SchizophrenicMC Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Badass. Now, it'd be much better if it wasn't the DX. I don't like the DX. At all. I prefer the 1/72. Much nicer to look at.
stram8777 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I was trying to hold on on the Ozma until they released a full armor version, but darn doesn't that look amazing. I may have to pop for this instead of a VF-25G. Great pics.
macross1979 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 one more with the stand. I like that pic. After seeing all the nice pics everyone has taken of their 1/60 DXs. It really makes me want to spend a crazy amount of money to get one.
bender Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) I like that pic. After seeing all the nice pics everyone has taken of their 1/60 DXs. It really makes me want to spend a crazy amount of money to get one. I love the VF-25F and RVF-25 better than the S and F. The original VF of course are the classics...
