Kanedas Bike Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Kind of OT and probably old news for anyone that owns an SV-51 but it's interesting to see how many of the design, or transformation elements of the 51 made it into the VF-27 (which looks like an evolution of the design) and the 171. -b. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I think the similarity with the 171 with the nose folding under was more an accidental similarity given that the 171 is just a streamlined 17 and the longer nose had to go somewhere. Though the positioning and angle is still remarkably similar. As far as similarites go with the 27, aside from having a Sukhoi Flanker styled long nose that all the designs based on the YF-24 share, the only other things I can really identify is the tridactyl feet and a set of upward pointing canards extending from the LERX. I guess if you want to include the wing nacelles being an integrated version of the wing boosters the SV-51 had, that would be another. I feel that the 27 (and 25 and 29) is really a mish mash of elements from a variety of prior VFs. It's like the 19 in that fuselage points up and the nose folds out of the way and the chest and head come over it. The 27 has an armored canopy and folding outer wings like the YF-21. The back of the hands are exposed with the fingers tucked away in fighter mode similar to the VF-0. One thing I think is interesting about the SV-51 is that it doesn't have the reverse knee/chicken walker joint. The leg is actually just backwards in GERWALK and is using the normal knee joint it uses for battroid mode. The leg just turns around 180 for battroid mode. I think this is the only VF with a design like this, barring some obscure design I'm forgetting. Quote

Hey, said more eloquently and with more details about the various design/design elements than I could have put it. Thank you. -b. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I took a bunch of pics today after finishing up the gunpod. I guess I have more pics than I'm allowed to have in a single post. Quote
Dimis Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Is it too controversial to say that you've made the YF-21 look just as good or better than the updated YF-19?! The colour contrasts nicely with the weathering instead of just attacking your eyes (as is the case with my plain one, lol!) Quote
chyll2 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 where is the Pre-order button? I really liked the Gerwalk pics Quote
abbadon Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Fantastic photos! I love the photos of the 19 and 21 together. Quote
Mizicke5273 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Wow. Awesome photoshoot of the Plus birds! Very cool poses. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 ^Agreed, I mean they're all nice shots but the one with the 19, 21 and 11 is the money shot. -b. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Thanks! I agree with you guys. That particular shot came out well. Here are a few more I meant to take but was too tired to set up at the time. Yamato and Arcadia versions: VF and YF-19s: Isamu's valks: Based on the "This Is Animation Special" cover (really wish I had some standing figs of Isamu, Myung, and Guld) Edit: Re-shot the TIAS pic. The port side vertical stabilizer was crooked and it was driving me nuts. Edited October 26, 2014 by MacrossJunkie Quote

Saburo Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Based on the "This Is Animation Special" cover (really wish I had some standing figs of Isamu, Myung, and Guld) Amazing shots MJ, I have always like seeing photos with the weapon loadouts on displayed with the aircraft.

MacrossJunkie Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Amazing shots MJ, I have always like seeing photos with the weapon loadouts on displayed with the aircraft. Thank you. I always wanted to imitate the layout as seen in this pic since I first saw it. Quote
Saburo Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Thank you. I always wanted to imitate the layout as seen in this pic since I first saw it. Books-ThisIsAnimationSpecialMacrossPlus.jpg I like that cover too and seeing you recreation shot is awesome! I wish the Frontier Valks besides the 171 came with missiles and hard points. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 Damn MJ after seening your photos I am amazed with the work you put in your photos, still working on the editing of mine. Plus I am contiplating on if I should get a new 19 hoping I get one with a corrected nose joint, which is why I haven't decaled mine yet. Quote

What happened to the nose joint on yours and are you considering getting the Bandai VF-19 Advanced instead? Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Here's my YF-29 Ozma custom. I was going to redo the canopy and fold crystals with a different paint, but my airbrush head somehow sheared off with a piece still stuck in the main body while I was disassembling it for cleaning and Badger has not responded to my email sent almost a week ago. So I decided to keep it as is for now. Using smaller thumbnails again due to number of pics. Click to get larger image.

mickyg Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Incredible! Love that last "misc" shot too! Really wishing I had a black background for my own shots now. Inspiring work! Quote
Saburo Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 MJ that is HOTNESS!!! I mean, I think you should start all over again. Box them up and send them to me, I'll ship you unweathered ones. Quote

derex3592 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Agreed. I vote that one for picture of the year around here! Quote
wm cheng Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Simply jaw droppingly amazing yet again MJ!!! I never knew I wanted a YF-29 Ozma... damn you!!! My daughter won't have boots this winter and I'll tell her its because of you Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 I'm whoring out MacrossJunkie's photos, but I had to remove some things first. MJ and Saburo really know how make this easy lol. Props to both of you! Quote
The Old Man Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Whenever I see a YF-21, I always think of this... Quote
