MacrossJunkie Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 RAAAWR! König Monster! Pics of it seem to be rare. Not sure if it's because people don't like it, don't have it, or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaorin Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) I @%ing hate all of you bastards. Now I have to pick up a whole bunch of valks that I had no intention of doing until I saw how awesome they looked in these pictures, including the 11, 22 and now the 19. I really hate Macross 7, but that 19 looks so badass with the sound boosters. There goes another few hundred dollars. Bah! You guys suck. be thankful that you actually have that "few hundred dollars" to blow. for my part, i've had the 1/60 YF-19, VF-11B and 1/60v.II VF-1S on my queue for quite some time now, but have just recently come to point where i can actually start thinking about obtaining any of them. i'll be FINALLY picking up a YF-19 this month or next off a fellow MWer. LONG OVERDUE indeed, as i've wanted one since 2006. after that, i'll have just the 11B and 1S left to obtain to complete my personal stable of "Valk essentials" i just pray that those two don't take me another half a decade to track down, especially now that both are quite OOP AFAIK, and YAMATO seems rather geared up now for MAC. 7 and not much else...

Raptor One Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I think he's referring to a "New Macross" class carrier as opposed to a "new" Macross Quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A New Macross class carrier I mean. Examples being Battle 7 from Macross 7 and Battle Frontier and Battle Galaxy from Macross Frontier.

I see what you mean now. Yeah, that would be pretty cool. I would be far more interested in Battle 7 or Battle Galaxy then the Macross Quarter (which I find a stupid/lazy design.) I actually really love how the Northamptons from Mac 7 look even though they aren't of the transforming variety. I'd buy on in scale with the other add some pics of 11 and 19 kai: You always manage to sex up that Gerwalk mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you share some photography tips? thanks! darkened room, light absorbing dark backdrop, diffused spot light on subject (may need multiple lights to get even coverage), and spot metering to set your exposure.

MacrossJunkie Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 darkened room, light absorbing dark backdrop, diffused spot light on subject (may need multiple lights to get even coverage), and spot metering to set your exposure. Yep, that's more or less how I do it. I use a white light tent with a black felt-like backdrop and two desk lamps using 5500k color fluorescent bulbs. The tent diffuses the lighting and bounces it around. The downside of the tent is the inside constantly produces tiny white dust particles which gets on the subject and on the backdrop which is especially a pain to clean up due to the felt like surface of it. I just shoot at low iso and compensate with longer exposure times as needed. I could benefit from a third lamp and brighter bulbs. I'm still a photography newbie though so I'm probably not an ideal person to get any advice from. Picked up a Nikon D7000 back in June this year and have been playing with it off and on since. I think I've learned a lot just through trial and error though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the impressive work. Thanks. That means a lot coming from someone who I think produces some great photos. Both you and Vegas have put up spectacular looking pics. I'm looking to expand my selection of lenses eventually, but it's pretty expensive between the now ~$300 macross collectibles and camera lenses. I need to pick less expensive hobbies...

Yeah, I've done some creative accounting to get what I need, such as selling off entire toy lines. I just sold a ton of toys, both loose and MISB/MOSC this past month, enough where I could fund the purchase of my SDF-1 plus some other non Macross items like a Masterpiece Optimus Prime. Lots of SDCC stuff was sold in order to get me those, but it'll be worth it. HLJ already sent out the package to me so I should get it next week. Going foward, I have to make a decision as to which valks I want. My top wants right now: YF-21, VF-19 and VF-11C. I've got a quarterly bonus coming up, which is earmarked for an extra mortgage payment, Christmas gifts for friends/family and a valk for myself, so I have to decide between the YF-21 + Fold Booster set, or the VF-19. I can't afford both. At any rate, to stay on topic: I love the TV VF-1 toys. The clean, pure white color is just fantastic.
