That's is a work of art! Breathtaking! I love your CF!

Vic.

Yeah that's what I thought too... hehe, hey if I can't get slack for the 10 min. sketch I did then I'm not gonna give any either. Like I said, it looks cool.

Actually, try looking at the picture TOP first and then travel down. The stars are aligned to the upper part of the pic. Man this is so much fun!

Vic!

Well, that's just motion blur, and I didn't get fancy with it. I was showing a frienfd o'mione what he could do with Photoshop in about 5 minutes. In other words, it is a quickie!

And yes you're totally right. If I'd really took the time, I would actually made the "star movement" in a 3D manner. Still the "camera angle" will ultimately determine the exact direction the stars appear to be moving in the shot.

Hope you liked it.

Vic

Enjoy!

the book is worth the money...no magazine like you have ever seen in the US

What's in it?

Lots and lots of cool(macross, gundam etc!) stuff! Refer to the magazine section of MW!

http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/magazi...azines_menu.htm

I believe the name is Dengeki Hobby Magazine

Vic.

Hey, just checking, for a sec there , I understood it was the same order, and i got confused by the different price. I'm greatly honored that Rob is doing this for us. I know it is a specialyty item, and it would be very hard to get if it wasn't for the passion and willingness to help of this people. Hence the reason why I say on my previous reply "please excuse the question"

I love you guys, and thanks for the answers!

Vic,

perhaps being able to see it in natural light will help me decide.

Hmmm, I wonder what do you mean by that? No fancy light maybe?

Vic.

So I guess th9is is not the same as this?

weird....

Vic

Nope it is the same. There are also threads / offers about this in the For Sale Section and Dealer Announcements.

Rob

Please excuse the question, but as I understand its USD$24.00 to get the armor in the other thread. While it is $38.00 to get the armor on this thread. I'm confused. Thanks in advance for your help.

Vic.

A comparison, with what I believe is a 1/48 Acura NSX

That's all for now Ladies & Gentlemen.

Vic.

Hope you like'em...

One of my favorites all time poses!

Gerwalk pictures finally comming up in 9... 8... 7... 6...

almost there...

3... 2.... 1.... action!

So has anyone ever had some parts missing to their valk?

Not me, but then again, almost anything happens to me

VIC!

I don't get it

you told us you were poor but still own tons of valks

what's your secret?

To always say that you're poor! Nah, I got al my valk, but I still have to think everytime I'm getting one. I have to do a check to see if everything will be fine before making this "money" decision. Now If I had lots of money, I'm sure I would be concerned still, but with more acquisitive power, where it wouldn't really be a worry but only a luxury.

Did I explaionded myself correctly, or did I just sell a Lemon Pie?

I do a lot of price search, and if i can get a 20.00 lower than the sticker price I would probably do so. Now I also preffer giving my money to the fellow MW members that have business 'round here. They're great, and responsable, so it is also a peace of mind to buy products from them. As you can see the reason for me getting that 1J so fast, and detailing the panel lines quickly is because Kevin(valkyrie-Excahnge) sent it extremely fast. I knew he would be that fast. In the past with other releases, I noticed that the people that ordered from K, had their stuff a week before everyone else. I don't know what 's his trick, but if I wanna get something fast, I'm giving Kevin my money.

No, I'm not getting a sales commision, I just love good service. But then again I have not have bad experiences with any other store that sells stufff around here.

Q-Rau should be early 2004. As for the other two, they are definitely coming, but I'm just not sure when

Graham

So I guess Monster and upgrade parts are comming. Wow, its tempting to know that the upgrades are comming.

Thanks G

vic

Whoops, sorry my mistake no 1/60 upgrade parts AFAIK.

Graham

Ha ha ha! to good to be truth. That's just the way it is. I should probably do customs out of my hikaru 1A, and Roy 1S.

We'll see wassup!

Vic

I'm 29 years old! That's right!

Very nice panel lineing of the VF-1J vlenhoff and cool set-up of your collection, i also

noticed the Strike VF-1S poster you have there, I WANT !!!

NICE

Incredibly enough, can u believe that the Walscroll does not have the kite on the side of the cockpit!!!

I don't get it, either it didn't come with the sticker Or it is a bootleg!, I guess I'll go with option two...

I hate bootlegs! , But if big west don't put the pants on, and release some wallscrolls, then I'll have to relay on bootlegs. Same thing as with the Joons. When Yammies were not 'round, Joons did just fine, not enough at all, but fine.

Vic.

Who wants pics of Gerwalk? You? you? maybe you? Calm down, I gottta take them pictures yet!

I wonder how much is that thing going to cost. USD $49.95???

Hey, it Doesn't hurt to dream!

Vic(I'm poor, I'm a very poor, poor, poor person. Yamato help me, help me get a Q-Rau... Please! Please!, Pleeeeeeeease!!! Wuuuuuuuuuaaaa!!!

Vic! <_<

So I take it that the fastpacks that come with the VF-1J don't come with the optional strike cannon and the arm armor is different? Does that mean they will sell these fastpacks seperately as well? And are the fastpacks different  in color from the first fastpacks?

To your first question: No, Strike cannon is not include. This is bacuese they didnot exist on the TV show. They only existed in the Movie.

To answer your second question: No, these fast packs come with the VF-1J, but you have the option the get a VF-1J without a fats pack. Also you have the option to buy the armor(which includes the strike cannon) separately. Please notice that the fore-arms on the TV version Fast Packs a re shaped differently. No biggie anyways, but I still consider I'm getting "cheaper" fast packs if i pay extra USD $50.00 for the VF-1J FP version.

...and to answer you third question: The VF-1J, or TV ver. fast packs are a different shade of Blue/green than the Movie ver. that you can get separately. The difference is not great on the color, its just a little different Hue.

Vic.

I'd take my addiction of valks over drugs or alcohol anyday. It's much healthier and a lot cheaper.

Healthier? Yes.

Cheaper? I'll have to get back to you on that.

Well, I'm stopping cigarettes, Hopefully I will I can't believe it I love cigarettes, I love cigarrettes. I have to stop.

No patches, just cold turkey!

EDIT IN: I'll probably have more money for macross if I stop smokin' anyways! O God please help me, I'm addicted.(Wow, that really sounded like I'm addicted.)

Vic.

the question is not to like it or not.

Who made the mistake? I think it's a mix between DYRL and TV.

I don't remember seeing a TV VF with UN SPACY on the leg. I may be wrong.

They should have put the U.N. SPACY on the stickers sheet.

Regarding the U.N. SPACY on the legs.

The U.N. SPACY logo is never visible on any valkyrie in either anime (TV or DYRL).

So, adding them to the Hikaru VF-1J makes just as much sense as adding them to any other valkyrie. The U.N. SPACY logo, to my knowledge, is (nearly?) always included and displayed on the Hikaru VF-1J whenever it is released as a model or toy. It is the "official" version of the toy.

I believe that the markings were too difficult and time-consuming to animate. Yet, my understanding is that they have been intended to be there on the VF-1J for as long as they have been put on the other valk models.

Batou's post that the original sketches show the U.N. SPACY clearly visible should seal the deal.

In my humble opinion, this is not a mistake on Yamato's part at all. Rather, they are just being consistent.

Best Regards,

Hurin

Of course they did the right thing. Do you know how hard is to apply a sticker and actually make it look good.
