MacrossJunkie Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I am not as good as a lot of people here. I took a 1/48 vf-1s hikaru and painted it to look like the max version and then panellined it. It looks ok but it was ready tough. When I was done I was just relieved I didn't screw it up. That's how I feel each time I work on one of my valks. Good job on repainting and panel lining your VF-1. Keep at it!
Valkyrie Magnus Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Thanks for the good words guys! It's good to know I am not the only one that feels that way.
Valkyrie Magnus Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Thanks Derex! MacrossJunkies tips help and his awesome pics have inspired me to do some projects.
VF-18S Hornet Posted August 12, 2012 Author Posted August 12, 2012 Well I got my VF-1A Mass Production type with the option parts didn't waste time putting some armor on this bird though it is the super pack I had used on my Vf-1S Max, didn't care cause I believe they are sold out of the packs anyway and plus they did not include any other sqaudron enblems for the fast packs. Of couse when I transform this into battroid mode the top and side coverers will be on and course the chair part will be shared with the VF-1J Hikaru once I get the armor back on.
VF-18S Hornet Posted August 12, 2012 Author Posted August 12, 2012 First of all that's my room, and the cityscape you see behind my TV is an unfinished painting I did back in high school.
Benson13 Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 First of all that's my room, and the cityscape you see behind my TV is an unfinished painting I did back in high school. That's cool, it has a cool cel shade feel and works really well.
Valkyrie Magnus Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I like it too. It's a good background for your Valkyries.
kamadoma Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I've waited for around two years to do this shot. Good thing they reissued the 1S Hikaru.

Thanks and since you like my background some much here is my VF-1A in Gerwalk mode, plus pictures of the destroyed part on my Armor Klan and the chair attachment on my VF-1J.
Valkyrie Magnus Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Nice pics! I want to get the Hikaru VF-1J with option parts like you have.
VF-18S Hornet Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 Actually it came with the VF-1A Movie Cannon Fodder, I did mention that I would be sharing the chair piece with the 1J.
MacrossJunkie Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I've waited for around two years to do this shot. Good thing they reissued the 1S Hikaru. I like that shot. Did you take it in front of a monitor/tv screen?
kamadoma Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I like that shot. Did you take it in front of a monitor/tv screen? Yeah, it's from my PC's monitor.
Benson13 Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Yeah, it's from my PC's monitor. What Minmay toy is that?
Valkyrie Magnus Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Actually it came with the VF-1A Movie Cannon Fodder, I did mention that I would be sharing the chair piece with the 1J. Yeah that's right you did say that. I guess I want the Hikaru VF-1J so much.
Shaorin Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) What Minmay toy is that? CM's "GUTTO KURU" figure series edition, No. 8. i've one of my own; Edited August 14, 2012 by Shaorin
VF-18S Hornet Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 Oh no, Mimay your too close to the edge, look out.
Valkyrie Magnus Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I like that Minmei toy too. Too much good stuff to buy
Phalanix Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 How much does one of those run? Was around $50 when first released back in 2008 - hard to find one now, even on eBay. Probably runs around $100+ now, might find better deals on Mandarake though. Definitely the best Minmay figure released IMO, just don't like the fact she's kinda small (rated at 1/8 scale, but I think that's being a bit generous).
orionpax Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Where did you acquire your VF-1s with SSP? I've waited for around two years to do this shot. Good thing they reissued the 1S Hikaru. Edited August 16, 2012 by orionpax
kamadoma Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Where did you acquire your VF-1s with SSP? The VF-1S is the recent release with option parts. The SSP was from my VF-1A Max. I just switched the skull stickers. Which means my 1A Max has no SP and I'm in dire need of one.

TCracker Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Long time since I posted anything here. Just got my VF171.
auberondreaming Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Here is my humble collection. Get to stare lovingly at them at work, perhaps it affects my productivity? Meh!
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Here is my humble collection. Get to stare lovingly at them at work, perhaps it affects my productivity? Meh! Ah my eyes!!! My retina is burning!!!! The sun!!!! Protect your valks from direct sunlight Awesome collection by the way I have a couple valks at my office, productivity be damned!!!
VF-18S Hornet Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 And cleaning ladies beware the wrath.

I just landed the whole series 1 set for $29 + shipping. I'm pretty happy about that.
Lynk Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Cheating a little bit... but I'm lazy and this is the easiest way of doing this... http://www.lynkformer.com/2012/08/16/as-i-sit-in-my-chair-this-is-what-i-see-around-me/ ...you'll see my entire collection of Macross toys in that gallery. Pics were taken today.
mass driver Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Really nice set up Lynk! I like how you posed Hikaru's VF-1A in the "must save Minmay" dive through SDF pose. Very creative use of the launch arm.
