valkfighter Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 hi, a few days ago had the idea to put the vf-1a Cf an the stealth parts together. this is something i wanted to try long time ago but never had the time to do it and all my yamato stuff is always in their boxes to avoid dust and light, so since i got the stealth parts never saw this 2 pieces together. i dont know if someone uploaded images of this combination before but after seeing the result i decided to take some pictures and share them with all of you. i think that the stealth parts are amazing and nicer by far from the standard color. maybe for many of you this is old news, you know the stealth parts are 6 years old by now but since i bought this only a year ago is still something new for me and i think i will never get bored of them. why in the hell yamato made so few of this stealth parts?? why never a second run?? yamato re-release them i want more!!!!! 2 set is not enough for me hahaha. 1/48 rules!! 1/60 collectors dont hate me i also have many of that scale in my collection too(v2), its only something about the size of the 1/48. sorry for the pictures quality my camera is also 6 years old and a cheap one. gerwalk mode only for now.

Archer Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Wow, nice photos. I gotta say, that alto with ozma armor doesn't look bad at all. I actually quite like the look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like Alto put on Ozma's big boy pants and now he's a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tired of red color for VF-25F, so I bought ozma's AP pack for my VF-25F renew, and it looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceoftherebellion Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I was just playing around with lighting conditions on my desk the other night, but I liked the effect I ended up getting, and this seems to be the place for such things.

MacrossJunkie Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Here's my VF-25G. Despite the problems I've had with my copy, I think it still looks nice. ... and yes, before anyone points it out, I forgot to raise the scope in the last pic... Edit: removed some pics I wasn't satisfied with. Reshot and posted further down. Edited October 15, 2012 by MacrossJunkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 @ MacrossJunkie - weathering or is that how the G looks out of the box (photography and lighting notwithstanding)? Looks good, just curious. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good, just curious. -b. Yep, I panel lined it with a black pen, then I applied several layers of gloss clear coat. Then I weathered it and applied a semi-gloss (more on the dull side) coat.

Kanedas Bike Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Very cool. I always think about customizing, but I'm waaaayyyy to nervous. And considering the availability of the VF-25 v2 there's no way I'm gonna risk messing one up. I wish that Bandai had used the purple canopy on the F and S, I think it looks much better than the clear canopies. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanedas Bike Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Actually, the S does have a purple tinted canopy and the F has a blue tinted one. You know, I had to give my F and S a second look. The tint definitely shows more in your pictures, but you (or speaking for myself, I) can barely see the tint in person. I don't have a VF-25G so I can't comment on how pronounced the canopy tint is in person vs. the pictures. So I guess I should say I wish the tint was more visible. -b.

Chronocidal Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I noticed the difference in canopy tinting myself, and yeah, it's a lot more pronounced on the G than either the F or S. If I could swap the canopies around without causing any damage, I'd swap Michael's and Alto's canopies. I'd actually prefer if they were all closer to Alto's, or even just clear, but I don't know why Michael's is so much darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I didn't like the way some pics came out so I played with the lighting more and came up with these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer that blue and would like to have it on my favorite Valk from Frontier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) I think my personal preference would be a smoke tinted canopy across the entire line of VF-25s, but how they are now looks good to me as well. Bandai actually went with a lightly tinted blue in their version 1 of the 25G. I'm not sure how they bounced from that to a more saturated purple tint on the version 2. Just for fun, here's the two side by side. I think seeing the differences between the two helps me appreciate just how much improved the version 2 is. The parts all fit so much more seemlessly. The version 1 also had mismatching shades of blue on the chest, hips gun pieces, shield and legs, whereas they managed to keep a consistent shade of blue across the entire thing on the version 2. Extra bonus points to them for that. Edit: Bah! I finally figured out why my latest photos all look so weird to me. I've been using Adobe Lightroom to convert my RAWs to JPEGs and it does all this funky processing to all the photos it imports without me even touching a slider which screws with the colors and everything. These latest three photos were converted using the default Nikon software and they look much better to me.

MacrossJunkie Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Final spamming of pics from me playing around with poses and such for the 25G, I promise. I need to start working on Ozma's full armor pieces which have been sitting around languishing for many many weeks. My free time was taken up too much by Guild Wars 2 and Borderlands 2 that I pretty much forgot about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossJunkie Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Finally got around to taking more pics and transforming it into other modes. What a pain in the arse it was. It's just so bulky and hard to get your hands positioned right to move pieces into place. At least it wasn't falling to pieces during transformation like the version 1 was fond of doing. Edit: Added a couple more pics. One of them is a re-do of the first pic I took because I realized the neck was not extended properly. Added better lighting and slightly more weathering.

juice14 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Nice all! I remember fiddling with my v1 VF-25G with much cursing to transform it... indeed the v2s are a significant improvement.... coming with significant market demand.
