Slave IV Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Yeah, cameras on phones keep getting better and better with the main drawback being the lens since you obviously can’t compete with a large lens with better materials, engineering and hefty price tag. But as mentioned, composition and lighting is more important than the equipment you use. Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Not to derail this further into a camera thread, but aside from the optics, the actual focal length of the lens has a huge impact on how the subject of your photo appears. Most phone cameras use a very wide angle (short focal length), which is making the nose of that VT-1 look much larger, which might be the look some are going for. A shorter focal length also makes it harder to make things in the background appear out of focus. Quote
fenrir72 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Bandai's Tamashi line is chock full of re-issues this quarter. Most are Patlabor. The even skipped to the lesser known Techno Police(Bubblegum Crisis' spiritual inspiration) so who knows when the next Macross mechs comes up? Quote
seti88 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) I think there is a tamashii event thingy on the 27th of this month? Perhaps there would be some HMR news soon... However, there is also supposed to be some 1/48 Supers and GBP news too....so i dont know if there would be slots available for macross HMR.. Edited April 15, 2019 by seti88 Quote

jenius Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Well done! Hope we get an official version some day. I still think they should do a 1A/1S version. Just drop a couple markings and give us both heads! Quote
seti88 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Bandai can release a Max DYRL HMR at the end of the year and make use of the surplus blue from the 1/48 max production line to save costs... Quote

CrossAir Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Stil waiting for my VF-4, but at least the Glaug came in. Didn't imagine it is that big, that will be my favorite HM-R from now on, love it! By the way, is this Macross or Battletech? After all these scale discussions concerning HM-R: The Glaug matches perfectly to my 1/60 scale Madcat Edited April 15, 2019 by CrossAir Quote
sh9000 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 @jenius thanks! I’m going to paint the Zentradi figure closer to the colors from the TV episode. Quote
Pontus Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Well, this is a little disconcerting. Checked Ami Ami just now, and the VF-1D doesn't seem to exist. At first I just clicked on my pre-order link to the listing and it came up as "item not found." Then I did a search which also came up short. I hope this is simply a symptom of a change in status from pre-order to shipping. Quote

In the beginning the Marauder always has been my favorite mech, but I never got hands on a big model matching my Madcat. But thanks to FASA "stealing" it over from Macross the HM-R Glaug now can serve for Macross as well as for BT. Of course Macross always will be top priority that's why I put the U.N.Spacy logo on the Madcat. Quote
Saburo Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Working through some hangar shots of the VF-4. Edited April 15, 2019 by Saburo Updated image Quote

Sure thing, just let me know, and, again, Thanks so much! @vlenhoff if you need a VF-4 right away, there is one available in the for sale section for $114.99 plus shipping. The cost of each of my 6 was $94.66 and if you can wait then it will be that price plus shipping available in May coming by registered ferry. Quote

fenrir72 Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 The VF4 Lightning package is kind of smaller than usual. Quote

Bolt Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 It still comes with a stand , and a gun pod. Something the Yammy/cadia didn’t. Quote
Slave IV Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 It’s also one of the first to not have a window. I can’t remember for sure but I think every other Valk release had a window on the box. Quote
Bolt Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 I believe you’re right.. I know there’s a few missing here.. Quote
Slave IV Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Yeah, you are missing the VF-2s and those had windows on the back of the box. Quote
