baronv Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Looks good VFRF1, your valks just need their stickers on and panel lined.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) I posted a few pics of the Valk in a thread a few months back. I've removed a few of the pics in the interim (so I wouldn't overload the board with pics). And practically all of those old ones are way too overexposed with the flash. But here's the link. I've subsequently learned a few lessons from the photography thread here on the board and decided to learn more about my digital cam's advanced features. ......That and natural sunlight makes the photos turn out better. There's other pics of the custom I've littered around the board. But the link above is the main one. In any case, less words, more pics: [attachmentid=38249][attachmentid=38250][attachmentid=38251][attachmentid=38252][attachmentid=38253] Damn! That's the only way I'd buy a Stealth: If I could apply THOSE stickers on it. But since Devin went out of business and those sticker sheets must be impossible to find, I guess I'll never bother to get one. Good work, by the way! Edited December 13, 2006 by Lonely Soldier Boy
KiriK Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 haha.... VFRF1.... its cool you like to play with your toys outside.... putting a valk on a mound of dirt... don't think most collectors would do that... so i commend u!!
VFTF1 Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Thanks... I have other pictures too...most of them from my long running Transformers Photo Comics... attachments below have text, and the text is in Polish since it's done for a Polish TF fan site... but there are Valks there as you see ! The last picture is obviously NOT a Valk, but rather just a Transformers scene - but I added it so people wouldn't say things like "you should try using photoshop"... I now do use photoshop to enhance my comics, but I used to just use Microsoft Paint and lots of sticks and strings to get effects ... and the Valks were featured in the old "stick and string" comics... As for the mud - rest assured they don't just lie around in the dirt all day. It's very difficult, but I delicately fill a basket with all the figures for a particular scene, and take them out of the basket to photograph as the particular scene dictates, then put them back in and wash/clean them at home. So while this looks "dirty," it's not - you just have to be mindful of the toy and it won't be damaged... As for stickers - I refuse to put stickers on toys that cost me 100 to 200 USD... the very idea just doesn't seem right to me... heck, I don't even put stickers on my Takara/Hasbro G1 reissues most of the time... I don't want to deal with sticker wear down the line. Glad you enjoyed the pics - hope people like these as well! VFTF1
jenius Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Did you mod your Alpha pilot (Stig/Scott) to be looking forward instead of hard right?
Wicked Ace Posted December 14, 2006 Author Posted December 14, 2006 OOooo... I love threads where you can post pics I don't care much for such threads.
Mog Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Damn! That's the only way I'd buy a Stealth: If I could apply THOSE stickers on it. But since Devin went out of business and those sticker sheets must be impossible to find, I guess I'll never bother to get one. Good work, by the way! Thanks for the compliments, LSB. I gotta give props to Devin, though: he was VERY accomodating with all the little custom alterations and additions I asked for (like modifying the standard Low Viz set so that all the "No Step" and "Danger" stickers were in red, for example). ...And don't be so quick to say "never"........link.
Roy's Blues Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 I don't care much for such threads. For Kawamori sake, just don't quote an image!
Wicked Ace Posted December 14, 2006 Author Posted December 14, 2006 For Kawamori sake, just don't quote an image! Now THAT is funny.
Wicked Ace Posted December 18, 2006 Author Posted December 18, 2006 Hey! You people who are the first on your block to have the 1/60 scale YF-19 -- come on.
treatment Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Hey! You people who are the first on your block to have the 1/60 scale YF-19 -- come on. ok, here're some 1/60 yf-19 gerwalk-lovin :
eugimon Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 ok, here're some 1/60 yf-19 gerwalk-lovin : very nice! thanks for the pics
VFTF1 Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Very nice... I think I might have to finally pick up a 1/60 1S or something of the sort...maybe stealth type ... VFTF1
Roy's Blues Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) This is the low-vis/stealth shelf. The stealth FP look top notch on the original low vis! Edited December 18, 2006 by Roy's Blues

Thanks to you, Man!
wolfx Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 The last stand Nice. Break one of the arms and legs off while you're at it for authenticity.
kanedaestes Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Here are some decent poses. I really like the one i just got my 19 into
wolfx Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Nice YF-19 pose. Now that's what i'm talking about!
treatment Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 (edited) the YF-19's kneeling position: Edited December 25, 2006 by treatment
drifand Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Somehow, I still like the meaner looking face on the 1st generation YF-19. That old hunk can still pull off good poses, plus he has the looks that say "I'm all business... and I'm gonna blow you away!" Check it: Standing at ease... ... but ready to burst into action in an instant! Who's looking to get some? Hunkering down... Engaging the enemy... Still standing tall after 5 years. I know the new '19 is awesome in Fighter and Gerwalk modes but the Battroid seems pretty limp. So come on guys, show me what else the new '19 can do!
eugimon Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 wow! those are some nice shots! Great job on the camera angles and poses.
Temjin Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Somehow, I still like the meaner looking face on the 1st generation YF-19. That old hunk can still pull off good poses, plus he has the looks that say "I'm all business... and I'm gonna blow you away!" Check it: Nice pics, nah.. the 1/60 head looks better. hehe, the 1/72 YF-19 mecha mode alway has that cool mechanical robot look to it, while the 1/60 is a bit too anime stylish looking.
ShadowerV2 Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 The only argument I can think of for the YF-19 1/72.. "At least the gunpod isn't crooked"......
wolfx Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) I know the new '19 is awesome in Fighter and Gerwalk modes but the Battroid seems pretty limp. So come on guys, show me what else the new '19 can do! nice photos, drifand. It really makes the 1/72 desirable somewhat. I'd step up to your challenge with my panel lined and trim-stickered YF-19, but my camera's busted. EDIT: Btw Drifand, i don't own a 1/72 so i don't know, but is that a stock 1/72 or did you mod the hips? Edited December 26, 2006 by wolfx
Valkyrie Nut Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 A cool-ish pose I tryed the day I got my 19. Was going for an "about to use a pinpoint barrier punch" look, may try to do it better another time.
drifand Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 nice photos, drifand. It really makes the 1/72 desirable somewhat. I'd step up to your challenge with my panel lined and trim-stickered YF-19, but my camera's busted. EDIT: Btw Drifand, i don't own a 1/72 so i don't know, but is that a stock 1/72 or did you mod the hips? It's a stock ver 1.5 with the revised 'tab-b' and non-diecast shoulders. I think the key to making the 1/60 look more aggressive is definitely to panel-line some of the key areas, esp. the 'mouth'. Otherwise, the matte plastic just doesn't show up the details under normal lighting. The slimmer frontal profile of the head may also mean that it may look better when turned-sideways...
kensei Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Great stuff. Isamu makes VF's seem so much more human. you deserve an Oreo if you can make him blow off gunsmoke after he shot a VF-1J I reckon.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 (edited) THE Ultimate SDF-1 Finishing PP Barrier Sheild Charge Move. I have always liked the 1/72 YF-19 in Battroid. There is no question it still looks awesome, i will try to best your stances Drifand with the 1/60. Edited December 28, 2006 by ruskiiVFaussie
KiriK Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 wow... the 19 looks scary horizontal like that.... hope nothing shakes and it falls down..... haha....
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Nah it's safe, i always do a safety shake check on all my valks if their poses are of a "scary" nature.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 That's a cool couple of poses there. Won't it be "grand" to have a 1/60 YF-21 to accompany the 1/60 YF-19. :drool:
Kicker773 Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 I dont have a white back ground but i'll respond to some of the pics YF19-1/60 Yamato Version style: Enjoy =)
UN Spacy Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Nice job with the pics kicker! Now do a couple more that'll put the 1/72's to shame.
