ULessa Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 A dark grey wash and flat coat should do the job Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Just sign up for twitter. You seem to know this color stuff better than most. So this is what you want... image.jpg But this is what you'll likely get... image.jpg Personally, I'm looking forward to a Valk with a full two tone paint job (the white underside). It'll be my first I think. I'm tempted too because of that paint scheme. Esp the white underside too. But thinking of this release, I'm sure the next Zero valk will be the (renewal) VF-0S which for sure it will look bad-a$$ with a Ghost Booster, which I might get it. Just hope it's not $300. And they might release this time a Reactive Armor too. But don't quote me on that. Hehehe. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Looking at those pictures that The Old Man posted my concern turns back to all of those pointy-bits and different hinges that will probably be used for the wings and stabilizers. Shade of blue be damned (it'll be either 'close enough' or 'perfect'), just make sure this thing is structurally sound and can be transformed more than once without issue. -b. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I'm tempted too because of that paint scheme. Esp the white underside too. Hopefully it's more like DYRL off-white/grey. Pure white is too stark with dull/slate blue. Quote

no3Ljm Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Hopefully it's more like DYRL off-white/grey. Pure white is too stark with dull/slate blue. I agree. Dirty white or light grey (about 15% shade of grey) would do. ! Arcadia's FAN base: BtIFRe-CIAIa8YK.jpg large.jpg Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 ! Arcadia's FAN base: BtIFRe-CIAIa8YK.jpg large.jpg i'll comment for myself and mod David, the blues look good on the fan. Quote
Mommar Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 The fan does imply they're fully aware of how the thing looks in the animation anyway. Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Knowing how it looks in an anime, and knowing how to get the right color paint are probably two different things. Also, it might be a lot more expensive to find the perfect color blue. Just because these guys are good at engineering and such doesn't mean they are color masters haha. Quote

Reïvaj Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 As Mommar said, they're fully aware of how the things look in the animation; but at the end of the day, it'll be Mr Kawamori Shoji who will tell them don't do that, do this instead. As usual. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Popy made 100% diecast toys in the 70's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popy even those were not nearly 100%. yes i'm old enough to have played with some "vintage" ones in the early 80s. we go tthem in the states as godaikons (sp?) and i also playwd with my cousin's stuff overseas. not 100% diecast. not that yoju'd watn 100% diecast anyway.

Reïvaj Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) I'm personally not interested in more diecast than what's being used in Macross toys nowadays. Edited July 22, 2014 by Reïvaj Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Yeah I'm fine with the current amount. Maybe some in the shoulders... which is what they are doing here already by all accounts. Diecast feet would be cool too. I'd rather have more tampo Quote

Chronocidal Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Diecast needs to be restricted to unpainted parts, so we don't go through the silliness of worrying they're going to scratch all the time. Freakin' Bandai... Quote
Vi-RS Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Diecast should only be used in the internal framework or mechanism for durability such as the sliding mechanism to pull the feet out if cost is not a major factor. Discoloration and paint loss are the major gripes to use Diecast in external parts. Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Which works with the feet as they don't get painted generally. Black reflective diecast would be nice. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 i'll comment for myself and mod David, the blues look good on the fan. I was thinking the same thing. Quote

More tampo is good. Adds more life. Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I don't like the color of his purple shirt. Not enough red in it. PO = CANCELLED. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I didn't know the VF-0D was a police vehicle. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Let me start the *fest by saying that the blue in that picture Reivaj just posted makes me think this is a Max VF-0D. There. Have it boys. -b. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Looks amazing! Can't wait till Sunday for the new announcement hopefully Quote
arrow Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I can't wait for this to come out more than the YF30 Quote
jenius Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 well at least we know it's a hand painted prototype so nothing is final. Quote
Mommar Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Even if the final version were precisely that color of blue I wouldn't have a problem with it. It is a good shade of blue, accurate or not. Quote
Sildani Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Dumb thought, but perhaps the blue started out that dark and then, due to combat action, UV bleaching, and sea salt, faded to a lighter blue? Happened frequently with aircraft in the Pacific theater, maybe that's what the anime crew was going for. Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Man, I'm really starting to like this Valk. I might stay away from this thread for awhile. Hehehe. Quote
