close313 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Hey guys, I just got my Roy's VF-1S today! Since you've seen that many times before, I decided to take the strike packs on a ride on my orange VF-1J. Pardon my amateurish photography skills. Sadly I ripped off a missile port on my new VF-1S while trying to take out the reaction missiles . I got too excited as it's my first time owning a strike pack! Quote

Happened to me too on my TV Hikaru 1S, just use super glue on it. Quote
lancalot Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 i saw in one of the review they said that you have to twist it off and not pull ! Quote

Reïvaj Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 What type of stand is that? That VF-11 squad looks great on that stand. Quote
lancalot Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 that a Tamashii Stage ACT TRIDENT stand that i mod to fit with the adapter .... Quote
wmkjr Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Any tutorial for that mod? Looks really nice in that pose. Quote
close313 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 that a Tamashii Stage ACT TRIDENT stand that i mod to fit with the adapter .... Are you serious!? I've always thought that those stage act stands could only hold lightweight figures. Guess i should get one now Quote
lancalot Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Any tutorial for that mod? Looks really nice in that pose. just had to drill a hole into the adapter Are you serious!? I've always thought that those stage act stands could only hold lightweight figures. Guess i should get one now well you have to balance it on both side , it abit obvious that you put it on the side by itself it going to tip over but the middle one good by itself... and with the extension rod is not recommended Quote
wmkjr Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Got it. Been trying to figure out different ways to mount them besides using the Yamato stands/arms and the Bandai action bases with adapters. Quote
barurutor Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 ...and how do the black round things at the top attach to yamato stand adapters? Quote

lancalot Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I had to borrow your fast pack commander Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I was trying to figure out a space saving pose for a naked VF-1A, and then it hit me! "Saving Minmay pose" Had to re watch the scene to get it right, it's literally fighter mode with the arms out. Quote
treatment Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 might as well repost this here. Strike-Hikky learning the macarena or something from Gipsy... Quote

MacrossJunkie Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Today is Halloween. That means we need some monsters! RAAAR! (Okay, I consider one a monster and the other an abomination ) Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Between the sugar induced hallucinations and spooky monsters, I hope nobody had any post-Halloween... Nightmares! Okay, I'm done with the bad seasonal puns. I got it out of my system. Quote
Benson13 Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 As long as it's accompanied by epic pics you're forgiven. Quote

Okay, I'm done with the bad seasonal puns. I got it out of my system. I despise you and your absolutely astonishing weathering techniques on Valks! Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Today is Halloween. That means we need some monsters! RAAAR! (Okay, I consider one a monster and the other an abomination ) The one to the left looks really good but why did they decide to go with orange parts on the other one? The one to the right must be the abomination. Edited November 2, 2013 by YF-29 Durandal Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 To be fair, they are based on two different versions of the Monster. They are not meant to be the same. Quote
Scyla Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Also you have to ask the late Yamato because they released the toy with that color scheme. I really dig the Bandai Monster. I wish they would reissue it. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 To be fair, they are based on two different versions of the Monster. They are not meant to be the same. Well to clear things up further, yes and no. They are supposed to be the same in the sense that they are both the VB-6 König Monster. No, in the sense that the Yamato one was based on hand drawn line art (and still failed miserably at it anyway) and appearance featured in VF-X2, while the one Bandai's is based on was the Frontier VB-6 that had to be re-done (and probably retcon'd) to have less parts shifting/shape changing/anime magic since it was being modeled in CG. So as a result, the cannons were made shorter, legs thinner and slightly more aerodynamic, etc. I believe Yamato's was based off a resin kit (shown below) and retooled with modifications and simplified to make it more suitable for a toy. On another note, I was trying to make a new avatar pic last night and while it comes out all blurry when shrunken down for avatar pic size and thus not very good for that purpose, this is probably my favorite SDF-1 shot to date with the angle and mix of light and dark so I thought I would share. I think the only thing missing is a bunch of tiny light trails swirling around it like a scene from DYRL. I suck at Photoshop and don't have an ounce of skill with it so I'm not even going to attempt it. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Wow that really is the best SDF-1 picture!!! Quote
lancalot Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 your photo's are always amazing MJ ...keep it up Quote
