Mog Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Nice work on Exhibit F there. I think that's the first time I've seen that particular pose done with the 19. Very different and unique!
MangledMess Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Thanks! Mog: The removable gunpod cartridge was begging for it. Too bad I can't do handstands with the -19... yet.
jonwayne Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Ready to fire!!!! too bad i can't make his leg spread any wider
xsjado Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) What's wrong with having a swastika on a mech? i'm sure he doesn't mean any harm...it's historically accurate. nazi mechas were our biggest obstacle in WWII. right? Edited May 4, 2007 by xsjado
Dante74 Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 what's up with this thing? [attachmentid=42418] What's wrong with having a swastika on a mech? The Dutch are a bit more sensitive when it comes to swastika's then Americans I think.
jenius Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Well I think we should all acknowledge that having a wall tapestry of a swastika or glorifying it in some way would be a big no-no. Having swastikas on mechs, toys, or whatever is just a way to denote "bad-guy" and that shouldn't be an issue IMHO.
Mog Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 too bad i can't make his leg spread any wider Oh, I tend to disagree...... [attachmentid=42433]
jonwayne Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 Oh, I tend to disagree...... [attachmentid=42433] he looks like wanting to go to the loo
Dante74 Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 Oh, I tend to disagree...... [attachmentid=42433] How did you do that?!?
Mog Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 (edited) How did you do that?!? Even though the pic really doesn't show it, my Hik' is a hunched forward quite a bit. To get the legs to sprawl out like that, you'll need to: 1) Bend the upper leg joint forward, 2) Bend the knee joint back as far as possible, 3) Move the kneecaps forward and out of the way, and then 4) Swing the lower legs out to the sides at the knees. To give you a better idea of what I'm describing above, here's a closer pic of the leg set-up:Pic Link. That pic was taken over a year ago (mostly to show off the leg art sticker(s)), but it'll give you an idea of how to set up and position the legs. Edited May 5, 2007 by Mog
Dante74 Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 Thanks! I'll try it today and post some pics if I succeed.
gilermo Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 (edited) Well I think we should all acknowledge that having a wall tapestry of a swastika or glorifying it in some way would be a big no-no. Having swastikas on mechs, toys, or whatever is just a way to denote "bad-guy" and that shouldn't be an issue IMHO. I would say that's quite personal don't you think, both my grand parents en 3 of their children were murderd by nazi's in concertration kamps (i am dutch). my "bad-guy" toys will never have swastikas on them. But i won't judge the one's who do though.. today is may 5th (liberation day) and we (the dutch) are celebrating the liberation of the Netherlands from nazi opression. Nothing personal, just strange for us europeans to see those things on toys.. Edited May 5, 2007 by gilermo
Dante74 Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 Thanks! I'll try it today and post some pics if I succeed. Done! Finally it looks like it's not just standing there.
kensei Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 To totally increase the mobility in the legs I suggest opening up the kneecaps the whole way while the GBP is on.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) SO i, the self proclaimed most kick ass Battroid poser shower off thinghy guy have blessed you all with another outstanding photo from my wonderful collection. Sorry about the display window glare. ded set SEXHY. Imagine Hikky had to follow a tunnel downwards (not shown in DYRL? of course!) before he had to jet it straight all the way to the floating head of sucky. Decending angel of DUUM! Also you could save the pic and rotate it and imagine the battroid sliding on a slant. ohh and i got my GBP'd Hikky 1J displayed differently as well (had to take alot of the other cool stuff from in front of it) --> gah! that came out really blurry, stupid digital zoom. Notice the back leg is bent a certain way to acheive a more dramatic pose. If i wanted a "missiles ready to pop" display i'd place Hikky GBP in a more suitable and even pose. But this pose is nice, ready to splater a Zentran Scout cockpit outer frame with a booster assisted punch. I will take a better pic later. Not happy with the blur. : / Edited May 7, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
aaajin Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 the upper torso part of your VF-1S Hikkie looks awesome but IMHO, the legs should be stretched outward or something similar needs to be done to the legs to accentuate that excellent hand pose. anyway, nice collection you have there!
Mr March Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 Done! Finally it looks like it's not just standing there. Great picture! Finally a GBP-1S...in action

Hey aaajin! Yeah if you want the normal run-of-the-mill battroid spread leg pose the outstretched legs would be the better option. It's a Super'd Battroid, it doesn't need the leg thrusters assistance, the way i see him going down that 'tunnel' would be using the back thrusters. He's going down there extremely fast, and the way i see it the leg thrusters aren't powerful enough to sustain the speed the way he was jetting down that 'tunnel' lol. 'Sustaining', meaning he uses the back thrusters to quickly stop him after a quick venier direction change, use the verniers again to flip him around, and then ready himself for the change back to fighter mode. Nice smooth continuous speed. It's good fun imaging here. IMO it looks sweet having the legs closer together, making it 'look' more like he's descending, rather than Roy jetting through trying to save Hikaru and Minmay and then landing like a big goof and forgetting how to pull the gunpod trigger. Using the leg thrusters imo would be to use quick bursts to change back into the other two modes. This pose i imagine would only be used breifly. And for the 'lean' i wanted and to save space i went the more dramatic option. It was hard to get the 1S to stay upright leaning in this pose! Edited May 13, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
aaajin Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 what a lame excuse ...you just want to save more space so that you can put more 1/48s in there right?... j/k
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) what a lame excuse ...you just want to save more space so that you can put more 1/48s in there right?... j/k lol, no more 1/48's on that shelf i promise.

areaseven Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Here are a few pics of my 1/60 YF-19. I used a Pilot G-2 05 mechanical pencil for the panel lines. Props to takatoys for the sticker sheet. I also have my old 1/72 for comparison.

Dante74 Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Nice pics, although one might argue that they don't really show any posing action, but who cares what pic thread they're in. The last pic really shows how much of an improvement the 1/60 sculpt is over the 1/72.
Mog Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 That is one shiny, reflective table. Nice effect with the pictures there!
areaseven Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Thanks for the comments, guys. I waxed the dinner table a few months ago, and it looks like it's held its luster. On the side profile pics, I disabled the flash, which resulted in the mirror-like reflection. The overhead pics had the flash on, which muted the reflection (and a bunch of details on the YF-19) and showed more of the table. Of course, I should've disabled the flash on those pics, but I didn't have a tripod available. Tomorrow, I'll continue the pictorial with Gerwalk pics - this time, with a tripod and no flash.
eugimon Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 nice, thanks for taking the time to do this.. those are some shots you're taking and they really show off the two yf-19 scales well.
areaseven Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Time for some Gerwalk pics: (Quoted to prevent redundant image quoting) (Quoted to prevent redundant image quoting) (Quoted to prevent redundant image quoting) (Quoted to prevent redundant image quoting) (Quoted to prevent redundant image quoting)

Fly4victory Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) Their gunpods are the same size! Edited June 3, 2007 by Fly4victory
Valkyrie addict Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 hahaha! nice catch on the gunpods... you should take botch gunpods on put it on your 1/60 and strike a rambo pose!
areaseven Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 hahaha! Nice catch on the Gunpods... You should take both gunpods on, put it on your 1/60 and strike a Rambo pose! Yeah, why didn't I think of that? I'll try it out on the next pictorial. Besides, I messed up on the Battroid transformation (notice the cockpit not inside the backpack). And I did the panel lines while it was in fighter mode; thus, I missed a few spots.
areaseven Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Unfortunately, the 1/72 gunpod is not compatible with the 1/60's hands. So I dusted off my 1/48 GU-11 gunpod and came up with these pics.

Wicked Ace Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 It's been a while since I've been able to visit this site. I'm glad to see people are still getting creative in this thread.
Graham Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 I'll have to try the 1/60 YF-19 with a VF-0 gunpod to see how it looks. Graham
