Ghostkiller Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 good weathering here : I will just recommand not to use stickers on weathered valks they do not last... and they add a huge toy touch decals are the only way to go for customs providing they do exist ...
Javabean Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 NIce works there, Rabidweezil! You don't need buy any exclusive weathered Valk fm Yamato. This is as good as it gets!.
MacrossJunkie Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Here's about as many 1/60 scale humanoid macross mecha as I could get on one of the shelves in my home office (without being too crowded).
VF-18S Hornet Posted April 2, 2009 Author Posted April 2, 2009 Nice, but what scale is Micheal's VF-25 it' smaller than the other 1/60 scale mechs on your shelf
VF-18S Hornet Posted April 2, 2009 Author Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) Didn't look 1/60 scale standing next to the VF-0 and in front of the YF-19 to me Edited April 2, 2009 by VF-18S Hornet
anime52k8 Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 it's the DX, it's officially "1/60" scale because it says so on the box. although it looks small and has about a 1/72-1/100 blob for a pilot.
MacrossJunkie Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Yeah, it is officially stated as 1/60 scale. Unfortunately, it is a tad shorter than it should be. I partly attribute it to the hips being attached too high up so it loses a couple cm in height. Otherwise it would be closer to the stated scale, height-wise. It probably also looks small because it's a thinner VF overall than prior designs. Blobular as the pilot may be, it still doesn't beat the blobiness of candy corn Guld that came with the 1/72 YF-21 w/ FP
Rabidweezil Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Finished weathering and stickering my Hikaru 1A and Focker 1S. I'll post some without Fast-Packs and transformed pics tomorrow
MacrossJunkie Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 That looks great. Did you use any decals from somewhere else or were they all ones that came with the toy? The reason I ask is the decal/sticker between the upper "INTAKE" arrow and the maneuvering thrust nozzle doesn't show up on the 1/48 version of the sticker sheet and I've only seen it on Hasegawa models or Anasazi decal sheets.

Blobular as the pilot may be, it still doesn't beat the blobiness of candy corn Guld that came with the 1/72 YF-21 w/ FP the 1/72 yf-21 was years and years ago man... compare the DX to any recent macross toy pilot, even compare the DX pilot to the 1/72 vf-25 model kit pilot. frankly... did bandai have to make the pilot look like that to make the toy durable?

The reason I ask is the decal/sticker between the upper "INTAKE" arrow and the maneuvering thrust nozzle doesn't show up on the 1/48 version of the sticker sheet and I've only seen it on Hasegawa models or Anasazi decal sheets. They are actually from some Anasazi 1/60 1.0 decals that I never used. Yo weezil, did you do any panel lining on these or does the weathering "stuff" create this effect? I actually panel line them twice, then wash. First with a pencil to find the lines, then with a gundam marker. I tried it without doing that first on the VF-1D, but they didn't look as good. So I went back over them with a gundam marker.

Gundam marker won't come off the V2 1/60's with just spit like on the 1/48's because it's a different plastic. -Kyp

honkhet Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) its really great to see how a 1/72 collection looks! (1/60 is too common nowadays ) on top of that, its a reflection of a loyal macross fan, that has followed the franchaise through the years. myself, i only hoped on the bandwagon when the yamato 1/48 was halfway through and 1/60 macross zero toys just came out. was previously a transformers fan, and a taste of macross toys made me realize... anyway heres my contribution to this thread a combination of the best 2 macross product lines right now (IMHO of course) you just cant go wrong getting either of them Edited April 7, 2009 by honkhet
QuinJester Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Took this photo for someone who wanted a size comparison between 1/60 and 1/48 and it seemed a pity to waste it:
honkhet Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 awesome pic glad u showed it here dare i say, stealth vf-1j is the undisputed 2nd best 1/48 scheme no. 1 belongs to vf-1a low vis ver1, of course
QuinJester Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 awesome pic glad u showed it here dare i say, stealth vf-1j is the undisputed 2nd best 1/48 scheme no. 1 belongs to vf-1a low vis ver1, of course I love the stealth, even though he blends in to my backgrounnd . I'll love it even more if I can get a replacement BP8 from overdrive
macross1979 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 QuinJester, Beautiful comparison shot. I cannot wait for the Stealth to be released in the v.2 1/60s!
QuinJester Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 If Yamato makes a VF-1J Stealth I'll definitely be getting one, no quesiton asked . Non canon though it may be, it's by far my favorite paint scheme.

geepogi Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 it has been mentioned in the 1/60 cannon fodder topic that this scheme may not be made. was also hoping...

QuinJester Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Hmmm.... is this photo allowed? It does have a 1/60 in it, after all. They're both Kawamori mechs, too
