Are they releasing more super/strike sets for the Bandai VF-1's?

Sorry for all the questions.  It's been so long I'm totally out of the loop with how to get any of this stuff anymore.

They will probably will at some point, but with Bandai it could be a long wait.

No camera can make up for composition and lighting...Conversely, any camera these days especially can produce more than decent looking images when composited and lighted nicely. Speaking of...your picture actually looks really good to me. Just the background isn't the most flattering.

@Slave IV very well said.

Yep.  I did this pose with the HMR VF-1J as well.  The animation was drawn with very long tail fins.

Trying to use the sun for better lighting. What do you think?

I wonder when AE is going to want their shipping money for those TV super packs I ordered.  Well I'll keep my eye on my email

Next pose WIP.

Love the red fins on the missiles. Did you just tape and spray?

Yeah, red fins were the easy part. Black lines down the sides were a nightmare. And the red “camera” tips were a lot of work too!

I've still given up on this actually arriving, but I was very surprised to see this note from NY in my inbox about my Focker parts (I figure I'll have to track them down on Manda)

Have been going back and forth with them since November to ship a missle set. The first note said I had to change shipping options. Sent them a response. Took a month between replies. They said they couldn't use that option. I asked them what options I had. Another month. Got my options and selected. Then more waiting. Had just about given up when they said just today they are finally shipping.

[Chronocidal]

I asked them for shipping options at least three times, and they never responded before defaulting to a ferry.  Never tried that option before, so we'll see how long that takes.

Fingers crossed that they aren't just rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship. If they get their act together, I might order from them again, but for now, I just hope that everyone with open orders gets them fulfilled.

Next pose is pretty much done.

So much fun.

Yeah I'm gonna wait and see...their customer service wasn't very responsive/helpful to begin with even before these issues, so they always have been more of a last resort for me. I guess we shall see...

Eagerly awaiting a DX VF-1S Max.

[sh9000]

Let’s see how many poses I can crank out tomorrow.  When I do poses based on reference pics, I make sure to get the pose and camera angle as close as possible to the source.

Your attention to detail is superb. Been doing a great job.

Max VF-1S? The right pic shows red hues... perhaps Hikaru's? 

Hahaha!  Just kidding @Lolicon. I know that scene 100%. How about you do one with Roy's and let me colorize it to Max?
