Graham Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 I found that pic in the old boards, sorry no scale reference shots.Hey... it was just to give us some hope anyway Actually, there is a scale reference in that pic. Part of the TIAS Macross book can be seen in the pic (and what true Macross Plus fan doesn't own TIAS Macross Plus), so it is easy to get an idea of the YF-19's size. Graham
DrClay Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 ...we can all stop bitching... somehow... I doubt that... technically, we can stop bitching.... but who would wanna' do that?

Part of the TIAS Macross book can be seen in the pic (and what true Macross Plus fan doesn't own TIAS Macross Plus), so it is easy to get an idea of the YF-19's size. Graham Troo. The book is standard fare for most other anime art books as well. That puts the 1:48 YF-19 at a book and change. Really not so big if you think about it? Maybe...? Well, for all you "not enough space/too big" people. If someone offered to give you a 1:48 YF-19 (for free mind you) would you honestly say, "Thanks, but I'll have to refuse since I don't have the shelf space"? What I'm trying to figure out is, how much is this an issue of cost over size. *WARNING-- Do not misconstrue this post as a rant, whine or attack on the sanity of non-1:48 enthusiasts (near 55% of the people in this forum at last count). I would however love to hear your thoughts and opinions. Personal attacks on my sanity are likewise, unwelcome. Kthx.
Aegis! Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 But what would we do if we stopped? Is that Yamato´s new 1/48 project ? well , you know, if it ain´t 1/48 then that gun is not worth a penny.
Mechamaniac Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Just goes to show you the difference between Yamato and Bandai. When Bandai made the HGUC Dendrobium, they said "SHELF SPACE BE DAMNED!" and made it anyway....
Sebastian Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Mechamaniac... I guess you forgot the YAmato monster. That is a real Shelf Space Killer. is more like a Living room space killer. Damn... I still need to send you the pics of the Command Gundam. SHAME ON ME. Sorry I just moved to a new place, I will do it ASAP... hehehe

Sorry I just moved to a new place, I will do it ASAP... hehehe Oh, I didnt forget about the monster, I brought it up once before when the 1/48 Mac Plus issue was raised, and I was handed the smacketh down. And yeah, make with the pics!!
JB0 Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Ya know, 1/48 IS too big. But 1/60 is just right for those larger thigns, like the SDF-1.
David Hingtgen Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Yup, gotta wonder about OTHER scales. 1/60, 1/72, etc. Whatever the YF-19 is, is what I'll standardize on. No 1/48 M+? Then no 1/48 M&M (nor Roy) for me. I have some 200 model planes---I try to standardize on scales.

Druna Skass Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Just goes to show you the difference between Yamato and Bandai.When Bandai made the HGUC Dendrobium, they said "SHELF SPACE BE DAMNED!" and made it anyway.... Well they also made one in 1/500 scale, it's only about a foot long if you count the cannon. Well, for all you "not enough space/too big" people. If someone offered to give you a 1:48 YF-19 (for free mind you) would you honestly say, "Thanks, but I'll have to refuse since I don't have the shelf space"? What I'm trying to figure out is, how much is this an issue of cost over size. As far as that goes, of course I'd accept, but he'd probably be living in his the box under my bed for the most part. The only horizontal space I have left is the floor and I'm not about to risk getting it steped on.
Myersjessee Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 well....there goes my chances for a 1/6 scale ultimate detail chrome Fanliner with real air powered solar inducted authentic actualized engine lighting system.....but mabe the 1/10? Here is a scale reference pic on the 1/10 Fanliner To fully comprehend the size, imagine the foam block it is sitting on was 62 times larger...thats one funkey monkey!
Jawjaw Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Yamato is making two seater 1/48 Mac+ valkryies!!!!!????? SWEET! J/K
imode Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 But what would we do if we stopped? Is that Yamato´s new 1/48 project ? well , you know, if it ain´t 1/48 then that gun is not worth a penny. Dude, it's even better! It's 1:1! Perfect match with the helmet and their upcoming 1:1 VF-1A!

rnurmin Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 Guys...guys, you all are asking too much. A 1/1 Fanliner will be just enough for me. J/K

Isamu Atreides 86 Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 Don't worry. Someone here is bound will recarve the head out of titanium for you. [Fanboy Rant] Only if the headlasers work! [/Fanboy Rant]

Smut Peddler Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 Great idea for a thread Do you have a non dairy yellow liquid for our pop corn too ?
imode Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 Great idea for a thread Do you have a non dairy yellow liquid for our pop corn too ? Of course. We got everything. 'Cept that one's been known to cause rectal leakage.
Draykov Posted February 5, 2004 Author Posted February 5, 2004 Great idea for a thread Do you have a non dairy yellow liquid for our pop corn too ? Guess which finger I'm holding up.
Myersjessee Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 I wonder if this is a potential use for all those depleated uranium rods that they can't find a place for... New, Yamato, 1-16 scale VF1 Glow in the dark variant...
Smut Peddler Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 Great idea for a thread Do you have a non dairy yellow liquid for our pop corn too ? Guess which finger I'm holding up. From the smell of it, I'd say it was your thumb.
