that's ok! we can wait! ;):D

I'll keep you updated. :)

Beauties indeed, Saburo!

Yes, the VF-1 is a timeless design and the VF-4G just looks so good in fighter mode. :wub:

Gorgeous as always! Like the new BG.

Thank you WM! I decided to change thing up a bit and something to test the capabilities of my new camera.

But yet always slow...

And yet, leaves... in a hurry. Hehehe. :lol:

These 2 beauties need no introduction. :D:wub:

Oh my... that VF-4G. :wub:

Nice shots as usual!

BTW, what are they? :p

Thanks MJ! Good too see you posting again. :) I was kind of away too...

I think they are from a show called... Robo.. something... :D:p

Robo? You mean, Roi30? :lol:

Wait... Saburo, VF-4G is not featured in Roi30. Hehehe. :lol:

I got bored so I decided to finally take the super packs of my VF-1J Max, and instead of having them sit on the side with no space in my room to place them to collect dust, I put them on my TV Max 1A.

That's all for now in the middle of editing my VF-0D pic, so far I got it into gerwalk mode, but this bird is a beast, I having trouble finding a place to put it.

Thanks Spanner76 I always wondered what it be like like if they had the use of super packs from the beginning of their journey back to Earth just like in the movie.

Should've brought in one of your valks and tell them "This is the future of flight!" and proceed to swish around the exhibit. Follow it up with a side by side shot. I also see it's got the high speed mode going on.

Haha Maybe I'll do that the next time I go up there. :D

The XB-70 is definitely one of my all time favorite planes! Just looks so sleek and sexy! And was so ahead of its time when they built it! One of North Americans last great planes! Sorry to see it didn't really amount to anything.. It must have been an exciting era to work on planes like this back then! I reckon many of the guys who did would be somewhat disappointed to see where we still are today seeing how advanced that plane was back then.

I have the 1/200 scale Dragon Models version of this plane! Is a very nice model too! I must find room to put her on display again..

Went to the Boeing Future of Flight Center and took a pic of a display scale model of this lovely bird.

North American Avaiation XB-70 Valkyrie

Its a Valkyrie so it counts right? ;)

This SO should have been used in some late 70's or 80's sci-fi movie. Just so freakin cool looking!

Just by now I imagine it looks like one of those supporting fighter planes from Ultraman series. Just paint it with some silver, red, and black. ;)

Would definitely LOVE to see it in other modes as well. ;)

I would definitely fit right into the Ultraman series, the closest in appearance would be the Ultra Hawk from Ultra Seven.

Well thanks for the compliments, and as for the suggestion of seeing it in other modes it will be done soon once I take the packs off and customize it from my TV 1A Cannon Fodder and place them on Kakizaki. You know I am thinking of putting the GBP pack on TV Hikaru 1S, I already did a Armored Strike with the DYRL Hikaru 1S. But for now here are some pics of my VF-0D, currently working on the Gerwalk pics so anyone with a flickr account look for them in the future will be posting soon.

Saburo has inspired me to lift my game. And after playing around with cameras, tripods, lighting, backgrounds, and post production, the attempt I made a few days ago fell very flat.

Here's the best of what I was able to accomplish:

After re-evaluating a lot of things (and nearly breaking my VF-171 in a near catastrophic accident), this was my attempt tonight:

post-10360-0-14162700-1438516740_thumb.jpg

I now have a renewed appreciation for how hard it is to make these things look as good as Saburo does. My hat is off to you guys who do this so well, and seemingly so easily.

Hope I can improve!

Looks good! What is your setup if you don't mind me asking? Also, are these pics downloaded straight to here on MW? I think it compresses your image files so it comes out looking a different than your actual pics.

I've got a Canon 7D with a 17-55 f/2.8 lens, zoomed to something between 20 and 28mm, on a tripod. The back drop was black construction paper and the base is a black, foam core seat protector from my son's child seat in my car. I had to improvise! Lighting is from what must be an antique fluorescent desk lamp, held by hand until the lighting looks even.

The first batch didn't look right to me and then I remembered I'd left my lens IS switch on. If you do this on a tripod, the stabilisation can sometimes get confused and cause blur because there is no camera shake. The second set I remembered to turn it off and the images are much sharper.

Yes, I directly uploaded because I got lazy. I'll go back and link to my Google account today. They should look much better then.
