ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 (edited) Yeah, can't stand the yellow much either, although cool idea, having Roy as an "equal".. but just doesn't sit right, Roy is afterall, THE king. I wonder what Roy thinks of the 'equal opportunity' color hehe? Edited October 21, 2005 by ruskiiVFaussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'd like to see the Roy, with the yellow "heat sheild," outfitted with strike armor, with hands raised. Oh man...wickedace gets the wordplay best post of the day award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I've said it before and I'll say it again. A yellow heatshield does not work on Roy's VF-1 because it makes him yellow-bellied... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin_Kune_Do Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I donno about you guys, but i think its cool. Im also saving money up for a DYRL Roy with the yellow heatshield custom. In that way, i dont need to worrie on wether or not the VF-1S valks in DYRL should or shouldnt have/use the colored/black heatshield issue. See?...now my universe is at peace again - Jin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechatek Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 You just need a chunky monkey CF in that pic Wicked Ace. What did you use for the panel lines on your 1/48 CF? Looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 (edited) What did you use for the panel lines on your 1/48 CF? Looks cool. 338720[/snapback] Instead of breaking out the oil wash, I used a pen from the local art supply store -- the Pigma Micron 005. This thing bleeds, so using it is kind of a localized oil wash. I'm not sure if it will fade, like the gray Gundam markers do.

sidearmsalpha Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 It's probably been discussed before, but I can't figure out why Yamato used that clear, shiny plastic for the 1/48 heat shields. It's not so bad on the shields that have skulls on them, but they're just so gaudy on the VF-1J's and now, the VF-1A CF. It just clashes with the flat paint/colored plastic on the rest of the Valks. I like the solid plastic on the 1/60 heat shields, plus they added that cool curvy groove on them, which is anime-accurate, right? That thin painted line on the 1/48 heat shields just sucks. You would think that since Yamato went through the trouble to add such a cool gimmick as the pullout heat shield, they would go even further to make it look good. I'm thinking about repainting the non-skull heat shields in flat colors and, maybe, cutting the groove into them to stand out better. Has anyone done this?

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 (edited) I wish the whole valk had a shiny finish actually. Sort of like the bandai mac7 toys. Mmm..light reflecting off into the side and making me squint when I look at it. I like the clean reflective look. Maybe its just that I want to trick people into thinking it is diecast.

Die, Alien Scum! Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Painting the back side of clear heatshields keeps the paint from rubbing off during transformations. Yeah, it does look a bit odd, being so shiny compared to the rest of the valk. The color is also distorted slightly, but it beats the hell out of chipped paint.

I thought they were doing that with the Hikaru 1J until I took a closer look at tot see they are still using the clear plastic with a line drawn on it. Anyway I think I figured out why I wasn't able to post any pics from using the Kodak Easy Share program here is my first test subject using a digital camera for the first time.

VF-18S Hornet Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 And here are the other pic of my cannon fodder with the decals on I have done a lot of trimming with the decalsto place on the 1A; however, the way I saved the photos to allow them to be posted here. You might not see what I have done to make it look like I had used waterslide decals but speaking of decals I wonder if anasazi would make me a set of custom decals I'm not done with it yet and I still have to get the fast packs from toy-wave.

eugimon Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 i wonder if it is a durability issue... someone correct me if I'm wrong... but when you add a pigment to plastic, doesn't it weaken it somewhat? the clear plastic on the heat shield seems to me to be much stronger and flexible than the other plastics used on the VF-1... those little hinge nubs take a fair amount of stress.
