Congrats man, looked like a wedding straight out of those hollywood films... ah....

Part of them thinks its dope, a few are asking if the pricing will hit a thousand $HKD, some complain abt the chicken hands saying yamato makes 1st grade valks, but 9th grade hands, quite a portion sez that the valk is too plasticky for their liking. KJ

hey, consider getting the dell 24"? Heard that it looks totally great, in all sense of the word! lol~! games that do not support widescreen will looked a wee bit stretched, but personally I'm totally ok with that. Oh yeah, when you watch widescreen movies, its gonna be totally awesome! Other advise is to get one with speed rated 12ms or lower to mimise "ghosting" effects... basically, ghosting occues because pixels take a wee bit too long to respond to the change in the picture, resulting in residual images. Wide viewing angles will be preferred (160 deg horizontal) so that nobody will complain of not being able to see when you have a few pals over to watch the latest jessica alba show...

Most of us so. welcome

LOve the mior mods on the tail fins

Thanks big F, I'm also thinking of acquiring the Macross perfect memory as well as the Gold book.... lol~! Think I'll need to take out a small loan...

Graham (or anybody), You have the ISBN no. for the earlier designworks?

haven't seen them since Garoquel's site went down.... think I'll post them on the valk schemes thread.

Heh... hm... i'm kinda curious

Like Sundown, I feel that the VF-1 was his best design, and every VF after that never gave me that kind of feeling of awe, not even the VF-19, which is another of his most popular VFs.

you got PM

Here's a sample

Those ones in the link posted are nice, but Garoquel's are a notch better IMO

That'll be Garoquel's now defunct website known as Macrossmilcomnet. Yeah, he made awesome custom schemes... I have quite a few of his custom schemes.... Hm.... but I wonder whether he still comes onto these boards to read...

Yep, made the front page! Thats how I got on this thread Great Stuff Jay Lew

Who is Graham? Hm... the main page show Shawn and Graham's Macrossworld..... As to what is his connection with Yamato...... check out the toy review section under yamato and all the reviews of the prototypes over the years

Still waiting for the big "G" Man to update us on the version 2.... lol~!

Personally, I'm ok with the1A "low Vis" one.... dun like the stealth 1J though. Dunno. maybe its just the photos not doing justice to the variants. KJ

371482[/snapback] You were *that* close to the real answer!

Hehe.... it might be just like the chest colours of the Jetfire scheme... reversed black and red.

I can't help but notice that Renato's background shows Ep 9 where the GBP is firing its full barrage.... lol~!

Hi All, just to give my 2 cents worth on the balancing.... basically i did not have much issues with it. but some adjustments were of course necessary to make sure that the valk stands upright. Additionally, to make it even more secure, can simply push the legs down as EXO said, but IMO, not necessary To conclude, it probably varies from valk to valk, but on the whole, the GBP's weight is spread out much more evenly than the FPs. KJ

just got mine yesterday..... wasn't in such a rush actualy, but looking at your pics made me just get up to spend money immediately.... Lol`!
