  1. Thanks, and as mentioned above the S type had the stripes too. Then everyone got them in the movie, because it looks good. Oh and the wedding 1D had them too.
  2. Used a tripod. My hands aren't steady enough to hold a camera that long.
  3. This will be the third reissue, I believe. But it will be the first time the super parts have been reissued, if Bandai does release it as a full set bundle.
  4. Actually belongs here.
  5. Lolicon

    Macross figures

    Thanks for the video link! I didn't know there were three versions and you saved me from accidentally buying one of the alternate versions I didn't want, should they pop up on Mandarake. Just the regular hair color with white clothes for me.
  6. Were they kidnapped?
  7. Last I heard from HLJ was October, but it's already the 30th. Gonna be 2020 before we get those parts, methinks.
  8. WOW!!! That's incredible! It's like a brand new valk! Was this using hydrogen peroxide or the technique with the UV light?
  9. Also says they contain no thrusters or propellant. So yeah they're just missile pods, essentially. (If they contain no fuel or propellant, shouldn't the F in FAST be dropped?)
  10. Good eye @Shizuka the Cat, though those are the YF-19 leg armors pictured (the YF-21 only has the belly armor, but same principle). I figured the 19/21 armors are mostly missile containers since they're atmosphere-capable and don't appear to add much in the way of thrust.
  11. I don't know what that even means. That's one of my favorite pics from @Saburo
  12. Doesn't everyone have 4x VF-4 already?
  13. Yeah, the tiny DX pilot really throws the scale off and makes the VF-1 seem like the most gigantic VF ever built, when it's the smallest. Here's hoping someone with way more skill than me creates some properly sized DX compatible pilots.
  14. Modified lighting and used Lightroom. That semi-gloss finish really reflects a lot of light. EDIT: Some more tests. Definitely need better lights than a couple old desk lamps.
  15. Thanks for the tips! I'll get Lightroom and fiddle with it some more tonight.
  16. Haha thanks. There's a definite improvement with the DSLR; one of the things about the phone camera (or it may be the fault of the software) is the color balance sometimes gets thrown off wildly and I have do a lot of color correction in post, which was the case in the above phone pic. The DSLR pic I just did a quick auto-color balance in Photoshop. Phone cameras have come a long way and are great tools, but they can't really compare to a DSLR and someone who knows how to use it (not me yet!). Still need a better light setup, and better blocking, among other things.
  17. Oh, I didn't know you were such a huge Disney fan.
  18. Whoa you have the entire squadron in 1/48! Excellent! Those 1/48 Yammies still look so good in fighter mode. With the white landing gear, they look as good or even a little better than Bandai's in fighter mode.
  19. After watching the Astros lose tonight, I came home and got to play with my new DSLR. Still learning how to operate a DSLR, but here's my first test subject: Ozma's VF-25S Previous phone pic:
  20. @Kicker773 is the real king of Macross 'round these parts.
  21. Probably from a 1/48 Yamato.
  22. Great job!
  23. It's been 7 years but the Yamato 4G is still an amazing toy that can be mistaken for a 2019 release.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Thanks! I want that but also want the remaining super parts for the rest of the squadron!
  25. Yeah the Ghost X-9 is actually pretty huge, not like later era ghosts which are much smaller. The X-9 is the size of a valkyrie.
