tekering Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Why put jets on flight stands if the landing gear is deployed...? Quote

Sweet collection tho! Thanks! I do have a Mustang, but it's not diecast like the Axis birds. At least, not yet. 21 minutes ago, tekering said: Why put jets on flight stands if the landing gear is deployed...? Why not? I like 'em deployed like Isamu... Quote
Lolicon Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 With the HMR VF-1D coming out next month, I decided to touch up my old Yamato version. I'll take a few more pics after I figure out where I put the option parts. Quote

borgified Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Apologies folks as I did these fairly quickly as it's grainy and it was overcast. Shots with the Movie DX VF-31f with the 262 Lil'Drakens and Yammie VF-22s Gamiln. Note: Does anyone wish for a Immelman representation of the VF-22s instead? Edited March 26, 2019 by borgified Quote
derex3592 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 I miss my Gamlin 22 sometimes ..Hi Metal R in that scheme would be epic.. Quote

Well since Bandai made the YF-19 and VF-19 Advance it's only a matter of time we get a YF-21 VF-22S variant that is an improvement over Yamato's. Quote

Lolicon Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Had time to dig out the option parts for the VF-1D and take some pics. I have to say, I really love the orange; this has quickly become my favorite valkyrie that I've touched up. Now I want some orange popsicles... Battroid pics This marks the first time I've actually used the option part seats. Our hero, folks! Quote
kkx Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Very nice VF-1D. Thanks for sharing. (launching new browser tab to search for one on eBay......) Quote
Bolt Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Ooooh ya! Supa shweet! Seeing the first of these the other day clinched my need to keep my 1/48 VF-A/D conversion and finish it.. thank you @Lolicon! Edited March 29, 2019 by Bolt Quote
Lolicon Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Thanks all! And a bunch of fighter mode pics before putting her up and deciding on which valk to detail next. God I love those old canopies. Quote

The only decent Macross-specific ones I have were stolen from model kits. Low-resolution fan-printed sets are unsatisfying, but they're better than the generic aircraft or mecha decals available (that tend to disintegrate as I apply them to the surface)... How is it you seem to have such an endless supply available for 1:60 scale VFs? Quote

How is it you seem to have such an endless supply available for 1:60 scale VFs? If I’m not mistaken, I think Lolicon is using the sticker sheet that came with it. He trims each sticker close to the graphic so it won’t show the clear edge too much. Quote

How is it you seem to have such an endless supply available for 1:60 scale VFs? Because I kind of do at this point. I've been stockpiling decals for years. I've been pilfering them from old model kits, picking up grey market decals off ebay, scanning Yamato sticker sheets and reprinting them on decal paper, and picking up generic all-purpose decals. I keep them in a bunch of different folders. This is just some of them: 12 hours ago, no3Ljm said: If I’m not mistaken, I think Lolicon is using the sticker sheet that came with it.

I simply don't have many suitable decals for some valks. 10 hours ago, Xigfrid said: how big is that photo-booth ! LOL it's just a piece of PVC draped over a desk. Believe it or not, the 1D and Regult are less than two feet apart. It's the magic of forced perspective! Though I did have to place the Regult on a platform to appear taller. Quote
Reïvaj Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Great job, valk and pictures, Lolicon! Thanks for sharing! And just as you mentioned it, what about decaling an Emerald Force VF-19? That'd be amazing! Quote
sumyumgoy Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 I love that filing system @Lolicon! Keep those photos coming Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 @Lolicon - Your weathering and your photos are fantastic! This making me look forward to the HMR VF-1D. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Looking forward to the HMR VF-1D to pose with the Regult and HM VF-1S Roy. Quote
