connor99 Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Grand Admiral, Niiiiiiicccccceeeee.... I totally agree! Are those kill marks behind the valk's nosecone? I think they would've looked better on the FP's instead, but to each his own I guess ! Nice pics, though!
misterryno Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Sorry double post. Hey, thanks for the link to that thread. I am gonna be posting there soon. I just received another 1/55.
misterryno Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Just received my 1/55 CF yesterday...another soldier to the 1/55 army...I will be receiving 5 more very soon. Sooooooooo love the chunkies...
miriya Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Nice pics misterryno, That is probably my favorite 1/55 valk. I have one too and I just love it. Seeing yours makes me want another so that I can have one in Batt mode and one in Fighter mode. Great poses too. Kitty!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 The Low Vis v1 doesn't have a black nose tip... If it's a typo, I know what you mean about the v2, it would look much better without that black nose tip. Yup, typo, i'm not that clueless. I took a look at a few pics i saved of the Low-Vis 1, and you know, i don't think it's that great.... I'm not sour that i missed the lowvis1 boat.
shinobi-wan Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 just got my first yamato valk this week. This is my first post on the forums as well. Bad camera phone, sorry. Notice anything wrong with my valk? .....No heat sheild! It was missing when i opened the figure. Can anyone tell me, are the heat sheilds attached to the valk at the factory? I just want to be sure that it wasn't seperate from the figure and i'm just not noticing it. Can yamato send replacement parts? Any suggestions? I'll probably post this question on the 'what's wrong with my figure' thread as well. HELP!
BoBe-Patt Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 the heatshield is under the chest. you have to lift the chest up a little and pull it out. It's not seperate like the 1/55's and 1/60's.

I'll probably post this question on the 'what's wrong with my figure' thread as well. HELP! When I first TF'd my 1/48 Max I could not find the heat shield either. Are you sure that it is not just stuck. Look under the chest plate again. I do not have max anymore otherwise I would point out where to look exactly. Hope you find it.
Golden Arms Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 shinobi-wan contact the seller maybe they can send you a replacement part. The heatshield should be slightly visible in fighter mode. It sits slightly under the chestplate.
vermillion01 Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 misterryno , it only seems like a couple of days ago that you were here asking for advice on which valk to get first .. now you're looking like a pro with the poses!!! I'm glad you got into the 1/55's.. too many people are Yamato blind and dismiss the chunky's. Good to see someone new with enthusiasm and love of the old skool (especially since he's new skool himself). Like your work.
shinobi-wan Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 thanks for the help guys, i definitely see the groves for where the heat shield is supposed to slide up and down, and have looked at the spot where it's supposed to be at every possible angle but to no avail, its not there. From reading the boards, it sounds like there are more problems with yamato's quality control than there should be. Is that a common feeling in the communtity here? or just me?

Too alot of people there are QC problems BUT I have not really experianced any yet. Sorry to hear about the heatshield, ESPECIALLY on such a BAD A** Valk. I am sure that Yamato will help.....I mean they sent new parts for the Megazone 23 1/15 Garland to people for free. They should help you too.
miriya Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 misterryno, awesome poses! That rocks! looks like they are break dancing.

misterryno Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Very nice pose Ghostkiller. Yes.....VERY nice.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Chunkies FTW! Oh man I hope I can find some at the cons
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) Righto, check this out. ---------------------------------------- (notice i corrected the arm placements in the later pic as a real pivot and swing motion would look) I have been wanting to do a proper Tai round kick with one of my Valks for a long time. VF-1 1/48's can't do it, but my 1st ed YF-19 sure as hell can! F'n awesome, f'n awesome. Maybe i will try a snap kick some day. Or maybe a reverse spinning heal kick. Just something special doing poses with these huge scale, highly expensive transforming mechs. Bring on the YF-21! He needs to punch Isamu in the chops! Edited October 11, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) * Flash photos, instead of LED light. Note the cool mirror image 19 in the last pic. Mirror cabinets are the best! Edited October 11, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
Sumdumgai Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I wouldn't want to be the pilot of the mecha on the receiving end of that kick! That's an awesome pose!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 You just know the YF-21 Battroid will be posed next to that YF-19...
miriya Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) Was that a panties shot of a yf-19? Edit: Mecha Fan Service? Edited October 11, 2007 by miriya
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) I want to start up a club, the Prestigious Club for Dedicated Half FP Lovers! Especially for the VF-1 line. Blame Macross Zero! And i have to add the Zero without the Leg FP's looks rather boring and drab. FP's complete it. :edit: more pics: Edited October 11, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) Was that a panties shot of a yf-19? Edit: Mecha Fan Service? Get your mid out of the gutter! Nu, it was to show how i displayed the 19, and keeping it from falling over ass. Here, here's another Mecha fan service pic for you hentai mecha fans lol (can even see my receipt under the flexi-stand i had from buying my 19 plus others when i was in Aikihabara!) Edited October 11, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
miriya Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Join me in the club. I was just noticing how cool it looks with the partial FP. Also you had posted something a while back with partial Armored parts and that looked fantastic. I understand your "excuse" about "how you displayed it", nice. I know what you were thinking! Valkyrie panties. Thats what you were thinking? Sorry if that goes too far. Just trying to have a laugh.
miriya Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 by the way ruskiifvaussie, where did you get that beautiful sandblasted macross logo glass thingamajig? That is wayyyyy coool.
Jeremy007 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 not only that, but where did you get the 3 pronged clear plexiglass display stands? Ive been looking and have found nothing. awesome pics BTW...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) lol it's true! "my secret shame...." *whale whimpers* haha by the way ruskiifvaussie, where did you get that beautiful sandblasted macross logo glass thingamajig? That is wayyyyy coool. I got that from a very dodgy ebayer way back then that sent me the wrong volatge cord thinghy. I am not sure, maybe they are still up and running, i'll have a looksee. They have changed their ebay handle many times. But i wanted the sign really bad. Yeah, The Prestigious Partial FP Fanatics - Club sounds like the go. Check my Sig! btw you would have seen my CF-1A with partial FPs, that's what you would have seen. And don't forget the Battroid Hikaru 1S in the corner! Partial FP's are not impracticable either. You start off in space, unload all the payload, then chase the remaining enemy in the below planets atmosphere with the leg'FPs to supply Vernier thrust for the high altitude dog fight and as i have stated before... i want to add a medium/long ranged missile under those leg FP's! Just like the YF-19's Leg FP's are capable of. And of course the Arm FP's are still packing uhh, short range missiles i guess, i can't remember. Partial FP's rule baby!

You can grab those from Lost and Found Toys, sorry i don't have their website handy, but i do have HLJ.com's website which is where i got mine from. Lost and Found toys distribute theirs through HLJ.com for the international customers. http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?range=descrip...p;GenreCode=All I really hope you get some, they are truly awesome.

That is wayyyyy coool. http://search.ebay.com.au/macross-bar-sign...sofocusZunknown http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1422-Macross-Japan-...1QQcmdZViewItem this is one of the others i was looking at at that time, obviously chose the better one. It's not coming up now, i think they have finally shut-up-shop as it were. They had other types too, like a VF-1J Battroid (classic pose from line art) and the Macross Logo in Japanese kanji i think. I still thought the sign i got from them was the better of the two. This was a few years back though. Edited October 11, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
