DuffCon Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Was thinking of the episode where Gamlin and Basara were flying next to each other and deflecting attacks with their shields Have no idea why pics get flipped... Edited May 10, 2015 by DuffCon Quote

spanner Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Received my gun straps today and fitted a few up! They look fantastic and really add another dynamic to Battroid mode! Im kicking myself for not buying these sooner! A big thanks again to DarrinG for making these available again! Great work buddy! Hikaru lookin like a BOSS! Alaska Base guard in a rather casual pose with his gun pod slung over his shoulder! will slowly fit up some more during the week! Quote
DarrinG Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Whoa! Sweet Pics! I am a few more gun pod straps left if anyone wants to grab them up - PM me . . . Quote
Garfinkel Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Mine are on the way, I may be stealing that pose idea from your Alaska guard for my CF. In the mean time here is ozma flying past in full armour, reaction missile loaded. Quote

Garfinkel Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 I am normally more of a battroid guy, but I have been enjoying swooshing fighters around this week. Quote
DarrinG Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Great SHOT! Here it is with a little thruster action thrown in . . . Quote

spanner Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) fitted up some more gun pod straps! friggin love these things! Wish I had done this ages ago! Edited May 17, 2015 by spanner76 Quote
Saburo Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Looks like someone was busy, putting on gunpod straps. They look great! Quote
spanner Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 hehe! yeah took a little while to do.. the first few are a little fiddly but when you get the hang of it they become easier! Quote
Garfinkel Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 They look amazing, can't wait for mine to arrive. Quote
spanner Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 bored at home whilst off sick with a bad migraine so I thought I'd attempt a re-shuffle of my YF-29 bunch.. never been happy with how I had these displayed so im trying new ideas. how's this look with them flying in formation? im open to other suggestions so feel free to comment. These bloody Ikea cabinets are just too cramped and don't give you much room to move.. Quote
spanner Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) A little more off work sick - boredom relief - Macross collection re-shuffle therapy.. I decided to group all my 29's together which I think makes a little more sense. They are a little cramped but I think it looks good! Will have another display issue once the Percival arrives.. will cross that bridge when I get to it. Also switched modes of my CF-25 to something a little more interesting than fighter on landing gears.. Looks pretty cool! Had to use the Gerwalk mode stiffener bracket thingy for the first time ever! Locks in nice and tight! Those fast packs must weigh enough to cause the back end to droop down.. Edited May 19, 2015 by spanner76 Quote
spanner Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 was feeling a little bored again so I thought I'd fiddle around with a Valk.. here is DYRL Hikaru lookin casual just chillaxin! I think its quite a natural pose! Quote
Gakken85 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 was feeling a little bored again so I thought I'd fiddle around with a Valk.. here is DYRL Hikaru lookin casual just chillaxin! I think its quite a natural pose! That's very creative. It's amazing how much you can get out of this mold from 7 years ago. Quote
spanner Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 hehe! thanks! The v2 VF-1 is an amazing design! No doubting it was ahead of its time when released and for a toy that's got a few years behind it its still right up there with the latest stuff! Quote
derex3592 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 It's still my firm belief that the V2 is the single best thing Yamato every produced overall. (after the shoulder pin and rainbow canopy issues were resolved). Never had a single issue with any of mine. The 19's people hated the ankles, the 17's, well, they still draw blood every time you touch it, the 11's the heatshield was and still is a b*tch for some people, the 21 belly plates are hard to align but more importantly it's legs were not good enough to support it standing. A close 2nd for the VF-4 and DYRL SDF-1 but it doesn't really count as it was a very simple transformation and both were not produced more than once. Quote
spanner Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I have to agree Derex! A few minor niggles aside as nothing is ever perfect but overall they are pretty much spot on! How they are built, how they look and what they set about to achieve with them. Quote
Mog Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 the 21 belly plates are hard to align but more importantly it's legs were not good enough to support it standing. Sorry, but that part I bolded is a simple, outright lie. The 21 can stand perfectly fine on its own, thank you very much: Quote
spanner Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 that looks friggin nice!! did you do the custom paint scheme on it? Quote
wmkjr Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Probably not too much posing as much as fiddling around: Background credit goes to the pic on f-breeze blog Z site. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Sorry, but that part I bolded is a simple, outright lie. The 21 can stand perfectly fine on its own, thank you very much: That is a great custom. The 21/22's have limited standing capability. Can you get them to stand? Yes. Can they stand how ever you may want? No. Just look at how spread apart the legs are on yours. I am sure you could retort with a different pose. It is not the best at standing. I still love mine. I have all of the molds/redecos of the 21/22's. I wouldn't go about lambasting people for mentioning its issues when getting it to stand. Can't stand is an over statement, but so is saying it is the best at standing.QC variance plays a part as well. My Max and Miria 22's are crisp and tight. My 21 is decent. My Gamlin is the loosest of the bunch. Edited May 28, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
Mog Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the compliment on the custom. But please don't put words into my post, ChaoticYeti: I never said the 21/22 was "the best at standing." I know the Omega has its issues. And if you look at my post, you'll see I made no mention of derex3592's comment about aligning the bellyplates. . . . Because getting the legs and arms to line up in fighter mode AND getting the bellyplates properly tabbed in everywhere is hard as stink. I've dealt with far worse toys and figures that were damn near impossible to keep standing and still hold a cool pose. The 21 is definitely NOT in that category, and I've never personally felt limited by its posing options. Now, can you complain about the 21's legs being skinny? Sure. But as you pointed out, saying that "its legs were not good enough to support it standing" is an overstatement. As for me, I personally don't mind the skinny legs, because of this: Between going with thicker legs or a thin profile in fighter mode, I'm glad Yamato went with the slimmed-out fighter profile in its design choices. I'll take that sexy side profile every time over the "plane strapped to an underside brick" look that a number of transforming plane/mecha toys have nowadays. Edited May 29, 2015 by Mog Quote

I did not say you said it was the best at standing. I made a statement about how both extremes of the argument were inaccurate regardless of your post. This is the internet. Lighten up. Quote
