blacklotus Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Yes, more pics pls. Anyway using, photoshop isn't cheating. Sometimes you have to use it to fix the contrast/brightness etc One last things, this valkyrie is some custom painted kit or have it been released by Hasegawa/Yamato? It's an official Yamato release for Macross's 25th Anniversary. It's painted in black with gold trims. Comes in either the 1/48 VF1S or 1/60 YF-19. But Vegas made it look 100x better than Yamato's official photos. Yamato should hire Vegas to be its official marketing photographer. http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00065 http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00066 Edited July 20, 2009 by blacklotus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklotus Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 [Emperor Palpatine style]: Now witness the true power of the flexi with this fully-armed and fully-loaded 1/48 Valk! Another shot of a flexi holding a slightly-beyond vertical pose (this time with the -19). Also, thanks for the compliments and for even considering posting one of my pics, m0n5t3r. But I've always consider these poses to be my favorite go-to shot for showing off how awesome the flexi's can be: For me, I usually use a flexi with one rod of each length (i.e., one 2-inch prong, one 4-inch prong, and one 6-inch prong) for my poses. Wow! You actually made the stale Q-Rau look dynamic. Ok. That does it. Time for me to go grab some of these flexistands as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossMan Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 I see now that I haven't been able to pull off some of the nicer poses because I never had a good mix of the stands. Thanks to Los' sponsoring the Con I think many of us will be testing our flexi-display posing skills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) I use Regults to prop my valks up. (one flexi stand prod though so the pic counts in here.) Edited July 22, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) talent. When your married, you need to hide your collection away from danger areas, keeping it in the corner display cabinet is the way to go.

I broke down and ordered the armored ozma too... the armor hides most everything I didn't like about the sculpt. lol. but for now I'm really enjoying the beagle ride armor Edited July 29, 2009 by eugimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCSaves Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Great shots everyone! I love these flexi-stands. I need to get some of those new ones though. The older models I have are giving out here and there. Here are a couple pics of the Minmay Rescue from SDFM. You have to "imagine" that Minmay is in the grasps of the 1D for the first since I do not have a hand that will grasp her besides the "chicken" hands and that would take away from the pose. Also with the second pic...but at lease I have Minmay in the shot. I need a different backdrop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 try playing with your camera's white balance settings so you get more natural color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCSaves Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 try playing with your camera's white balance settings so you get more natural color. Thanks I will. I was using the Auto White Balance setting. Not good enough I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thanks I will. I was using the Auto White Balance setting. Not good enough I see. yeah, "auto" is really only good for sunlight and the natural variations between morning to afternoon or dusk depending on your light and how good the camera is. For artificial lighting, you really need to set it manually or pick the right preset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCSaves Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Here I'm trying a light blue background. I don't really like it. So I will try a black background I have next. I think it will help the valk stand out more. I also could use some better lighting. I will have to see what I can do about that. Well, these pics are for the flexi anyways. I am trying to get some cool poses. But I think ruskiiVFaussi has me beat for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden Japan Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I came up with different ideas to show you guys. What I did was that I removed those rubber tops then I drilled a hole to insert an aluminum shaft. I drilled a same hole to each figures then I placed on the base. I can use same methods to display my Gundam kits instead of using their display stand kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this attempt was paying homage to ruskii's original post which gave me the idea to see about starting a Flexi-Stand only thread since some of the most wicked poses can be pulled off with them. I have 7 new stands and I have yet to be able to play with them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
