I have tried to "PS" wmcheng's YF-21 into a Stealth; here it is. It's definitely not a black and white picture... though it looks just like one

Maybe this Hasegawa 19 can give u an idea of how's it's gonna be. Not very impressive for me...

It's not a bad idea to have a stealth 19.

Does anyone knows whether Yamato will by any chance, make a VF-19A Excalibre just like the previous 1/72 edition? If yes, I would probably wait for that. If no, I would then buy this.

I just make a copy of the object layer and make it black and then play with the "free transformation". I learnt that from a nice website with plenty of PS tutorials... but I have lost the address to it... anyone has any good ones? Actually the VF-0D's shadow is totally out of accuracy refering to its lightings, but that's the best I can do.

Here's 2 from my own Photoshop collection. Hope u guys like it

omg things seems to be more complicated than I expected... I saw the Sundevil was selling a Mac Zero "bootleg" and I purposely ask them is it original and they said it was. Guess u guys are right, can't trust the Sundevil, now I understand why they are called devil. Thanks again guys.

Thanks guys, I think I'm buying the Fx version from Sundevil.

How's the FX rip video quality compare to the one by Bandai/Emotion? btw I'm thinking of buying either the FX version or this Hong Kong bootleg http://auctions.yahoo.com/sg/i::7428569 does anyone by any chance know the quality of the link I posted and is it in Widescreen? Is it the same video quality as compare to the FX version? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone knows usually when they will release the DVD for sale? Is it after it finished air-ing or when it's air-ing? This is the only America series that hooked me since I was born.

I'm buying it at http://www.joyo.com/detail/product.asp?uid...odid=bkys505107 I have to wait till end of this month before they start their shipment as they need to verify my credit card details. The shipping price in China is amazingly cheap; only US$5.70 from China to Singapore and an additional of US$2 for an additional item. For those who can't read Chinese, the price stated in the link is in China Yuan, which is $1(Yuan) to US$0.127.

New pictures? More links and pictures in http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=24396

O hi, sorry to make similar topic... btw although the link u posted is under Fan Arts, but it seems that I can't find it within the 2 pages of Fan Arts. It's only visible when using search engine???

More to come, but definitely not so soon. Pls do share any Macross wallpaper here.

wow... that is a beauty my friend. Shadows are normally taken from the original pics. If the light source are good, use back the original shadows and make it blend. The best option in Photoshop is to cut out the shadows and put it in a new layer. Making sure that the oppacity is around 50-60% and then you can try multiply it to make it looks softer with the background. Sometimes you may want to blur it out a bit. But it really depends on good lighting. If you have a good shadow from the photo that you've shot, then use back the original. It will surely look natural. Hope it helps. 412360[/snapback] Thanks for your advice! Too bad recently I'm busy to play with photoshop. Anyway, pls keep us update of your new monster!

Nice pose... will get my VF-0 and try to get a good lighting to fit in some of the sky photos that i took for the past few days. Anyway, just got another family member and will put it next to my VF-0 or as a background in some airfield. Wait and see. 412141[/snapback] To Wicked Ace: That's sure an unique pose... never thought of that To ikhii: I always like the lightning effect in your pictures, the contrast and gamma are great. Oh ikhii btw can u teach me how to apply shadows accurately on artificial background? It seems that I can't find a decent option for that, all I do is apply the shadow very inaccurately using the "burn tool". Below is an example of a improper shadowing

Hi ikhii, anymore updates? I have been waiting for more~ Please do more if u have time. Anyway, I have just brought myself a Photoshop software and just started playing with it. As I have totally no experience on Photo editing, I have started steadily playing with only the basics functions of the Photoshop. Therefore they may seems alike... I love shots with deep contrast, something like the sun is bright and the "main object" is dark. However, due to this, my friends say those picture I made sux as they can't even see the details of the valkyrie. But that's the way I like it... maybe that's my style??? btw I know this topic is VF-0S wallpaper, but I just can't stop myself for uploading the oooold VF-1 here to share with u all. Lastly, sorry for my English Hope u all like the pictures.

Thanks ikhii for your fantastic wallpapers! I have been visiting this thread regularly and have waited for more to come. They are really amazing works! I have been inspired by u and started taking pictures of my VF-0S and I wish to share them with all Macross fans here Please note that I don't have any photo editing software or any photo editing skills. Therefore those aren't any great work compare to ikhii's

Thank u mechaninac for ur clear instructions I will go look around some shops for the 'file'ing [fileing or filing??] equipment. Hope i can find some decent one...

I can't fix my gun pod on the arm! The fixing mechanism [the small hole on the rifle grip] seems to be too small for the arm fixing mechanism...... someone pls tell me what to do... =(

Oh, the problem keep disturbing me is the sudden "burst"(can't find a term suitable in this case ) of water along with the paint like what Sar has mentioned. I'm in NS now, that's why i need to be clear which Water Trap to buy as I hardly survive with my "salary" I have searched all of Sunshine Plaza and the 2 Hobby Point shops, yet I can't find the YF-21. However I have brought a VF-22 at Sunshine Plaza With that + the unused decal of YF-21, I can make another YF-21. Thanks guys for all of your answers and suggestions. I will buy a Water Trapper once i have saved enough money

Yeah, that's the main problem i'm facing right now. And because of that, i have "spoilt" my Hasegawa YF-21(which is very rare in Singapore ). At first, i thought this was caused by my weak knowledge on handling the Airbrush & Compressor. Then I realized it's due to the missing of water/moisute trapper. Hmmm... okay, some more questions to clear my doubts about this problem... Does all the Water Trapper handles the problem well? What i mean is, is it true that the more expensive one has better prevention against the problem? Or just a simple and cheap Water Trapper WILL prevent any case of moisture condenses in the airbrush from happening? Any recommendation of Water Trapper? is there, by any chances, my cheap(lousy) Compressor is part of the cause too???

O thanks for the suggestions MechTech and daggraa. Actually i have just started airbrushing not long ago. Therefore, i still have lots of doubts regarding airbrushing. i have tried searching the net for information, but all i can find are bits by bits of techniques and tips that are not complete. So i wish i can learn something from u guys here. I'm glad that daggraa live in SG too. Erm... can u explain what's the difference when airbrushing with and without the Water Trapper? What problem does the Water Trapper prevents? How much is it? Does all the Water Trapper able to fits on any compressor, or i have to buy another compressor that a Water Trapper is able to fits on? Ermm... btw should I start a new thread or just continue on this one? Is this off topic??? Again, sorry for so many noob questions

Good day everyone, i have been visiting MW forum everyday since nearly a year ago. however, i have just register to post in this thread I live in Singapore, the humidity is extremely high here. Does it helps to prevent some paint problems caused by high humidity if I have my air-conditioner turned on? Or do I really need to have a Water Trapper equipped with the Compressor to solve the problems? Will I be posioned if I'm airbrushing in an air-conditioned room? Sorry for so much questions
