Always find it hard to realistically pose these toys so got some inspiration from a few iconic poses of Roy's VF-1S and tried this one out. 

Excuse the background clutter...

Hey what episode is that from?

Posted

Actually not sure it's from an episode.  I think it's inspired from the scene where Roy is helping Hikaru in his downed VF-1D but I'm not certain.

HardlyNever's avatar is what inspired it though:

Yeah, I think it's from one of the old Arii model kit boxes.  It might be original box art.

I decided to test out the new lens I got for my other camera with the Metal Build 00 Gundam Seven Sword /G and HMR VF-1S Strike Valkyrie.

Boy, those HMR's sure are photogenic. 

Can't wait to get my hands on the new/re-release Seven Swords.

Yes they are.  You'll love the new/re-release Seven Sword.  I am very happy to have gotten it. :D

Nice shot saburo! Still on a 50 or an 85/100 mm lens?

This is actually a 22mm lens for my Canon M5.

Cool, the seven swords looked on the slim-ish side so tot you might have gone with the longer focal. The angled pose helped! B))

Nah, the Seven Sword has been working out to stay in shape.  :lol:

That would be great. I'd love to learn how to use the Manual mode better

^Nice comparison shot, it's good to get a feel for the different amount of printing on each release. And you can't even see the No Step markings on the wings of the Premium.

@Lolicon & @Convectuoso I have thought about making a photography tutorial, but I just haven't had the time to create one.

These 0B are a must have, really. And they can even transform:

I'm really IN for this scheme. Arcadia should hire Xigfrid to supervise this scheme for QC. Or let him paint it. ;)

Either or, this is a win-win scheme. ^_^

At least I now know the yamato guns do work well with bandai calls. This looks so much better than the scrawny gun it came with. 

20170912_211100.jpg

No body has quite done the VF-19 gun pod right. The original Yamato 1/60 YF-19 was too stumpy, the Yamato 1/60 VF-19F gun pod was bulbous (anime accurate though...), and Bandai's VF-19 Adv was too slim, and I hated the way they implemented the "break". 

The Bandai gun pod should have had an articulated and indexed handle and trigger guard so the gun pod stayed in line, and it should have had a bit more diameter and thickness. It doesn't look like it has a five barrel cannon in it. 

That's a sick pose by the way though.
