damn, I was hoping to get a post in before you hijacked it with your superiority... I got my first two stands today. Not well lit or well done or anything but I think this pose is going to look damn good once the GBP hits.

It can be hard to interpret symbolism when it's in the form of bloody, putrid bile.

I can get most of them but I'd rather gouge my own eyes out with a letter opener.

never going to happen.

I was actually thinking that. It looks as if the leg from the knee down is made of a multi-piece shell that goes around some inner structure. So you have to replace the entire outside of the leg just to have landing gear

because the "realistic" schemes are usually better looking. the baby blue looks terrible, making the armor darker grey would have made it more badass and cooler. actually if were talking realistic, the white with faded blue and red kind of reminds me of old British 'V' bombers with anit-flash white paint jobs. still looks lame though.

this isn't really a valid comparison though. the bandai VB-6 isn't based off the line art from the VF-X game. it's based off the CG model from frontier which has drastically different proportions from the original line art.

ok, I'll break it down for you. If a mech were to jump off the roof of a ten story building and land feet first, in the real world it wouldn't do much damage to the armor because it didn't land on the armor. but it would jack up the joints and structure of the legs. Now if the mech trips and falls on it's ass, it would probably bang up the armor that it lands on, but could still do damage to structures under the armor. so it would do damage to both. At no point did I ever say that falling wouldn't do damage to the armor. I was refuting your claim that there was no way to model fall damage realistically in a game, and that the only way to model fall damage would be to apply it to the armor as if it were the same as getting shot.

they are going to be sold separately. They're being made by another company who appear to do the CAD work for Yamato. as of now they're only going to be available as some sort of convention exclusive.

alright, lets lock this thread and have a member fan art thread.

how about not, maybe we should just lock this tread.

I had a similar feeling as well. the panel on the knee looks odd, I don't remember if that's how it was in the anime, but it just looks strange. Also I'm wondering how the heck landing gear will work on this?

um... you could keep track of damage to the frame and to the armor separately, then have impact damage (i.e. falling) do damage directly to the frame? I recall FPS's for the PS2 being able to pull that off.

have not heard of this before. sounds cool

can we do more than one entry? I've got one thing I could send in now, but I've got at least one other thing I could finish (maybe)

how much was she going for?

the blue one, the dark one is a rough photoshop.

Well if any of you don't want the klan figure I'd be happy to buy it off you. (I'd rather pass on everything else.)

OHHH... So cute. I want that Klan so bad...

that would be nice.

I've actually been banned here longer than any other site (13 days total from two bans), at least for something I actually did. oddly enough I got IP banned from all the NSFW boads on 4chan for like 3 months recently and I don't even post there.

well that looks like crap

hey, there were some Trees in there too... somewhere.

I wish I'd had seen this thread a week ago so I could whip something up for the con. I don't have anything I feel is worth submitting and I'm not going to make it down anyways... well there's always next year.

hehe I've got full scans of that Dōjinshi, good stuff. Has a really amusing H-manga, although I've never seen it translated before.
