Godzilla Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Queer Eye for the Valk-Guy? Regardless I will not waste a 1/48 to customize to that. Sure I would make it like some NASCAR colors but those?!?! NO FRIGGIN WAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrance Wong Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Polka dot 1J(?): Ack! Like the head, though. 1S in same pic: I think he soiled himself. Flaming 1A: Those feathers are...eeeew. But it's reasonable. Blue 1J: Probably the only nice one of the bunch, and the only one I'd apply to a Valk kit or toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draykov Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Since when did Valkyries have gay pride parades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichterX Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Since when did Valkyries have gay pride parades? ... In the ancient words of my people... "guacala" Imagine that instead of Hikaru's Strike VF-1S in DYRL one of those gay pride valks had gone into the fortress... the "PROTOCULTURE!" he says would had a greater impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaine23 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 (edited) I do think it's funny hearing people who've never seen an anime talk about how much they hate it, though.Informed opinions are so rare. Don't hate the valkyrie, hate the game! Hey, I tried, I really tried... and I don't know if it was the crap animation, the way they reused footage at least a dozen times, the little fuzzy whatthehell that hung out on that dude's shoulder, or the faggy red valqueery with it's sound pods, and harry potter at the controls....oh and the music that sucked. Something about it just turned me off........ Well then you've seen it, MM... so I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to folks that saw this brief flash of SK's humor, poking fun at what would be an outdated design, in M7 - as a reason to not watch M7. EDIT in - imode, there's really nothing to defend. The paint jobs on the VF-1's are actually supposed to be funny. Edited April 20, 2004 by Blaine23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddhafabio Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 (edited) I did notice a paint scheme i liked. The old navy blue, sky blue, and white/dull ghost grey from ww2. they painted a corsair and carrier planes like this early in the war. After building a small 72nd scale corsair. I built and painted a 1/144 scale f14 in the same paint scheme. Just to see if it looked ok. Need less to say i liked it and plan to build a 1/48 scale f-14 scale i have in my closet with that scheme. and may be the vf-1s i have half built.

RichterX Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Hmm....I remember that their Monster had eyes painted on it. But otherwise, it was in "mint" condition. It was funny when they blew that building down. It is weird, the "eye" was also on the Macross Monster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Jenius Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Recycled animation? Did you see the original show? Kawamori didn't just approve it, he invented it. Story Concept/Supervisor: Shoji Kawamori (Macross) I swear you guys are hilarious some days. Just watch the damn show. I'd rather rock out to Basara's songs than Minmay's. Hmmm... Silver Moon, Red Moon or Holy Lonely Night........ Additionally, the Minmay Guard is just as faggy as any valkyrie in M7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrhead Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Additionally, the Minmay Guard is just as faggy as any valkyrie in M7. THANKYOU for saying so!!! I really hate this paint scheme, but I didn't want to be the first to say it!!! I cringe every time I see a 1/48 (IMO) wasted on this eyesore of a paint scheme... It looks like packaging for some obscure brand of breathmints or the color scheme of a ski resort in Reno whose owner hasn't yet realized that the eighties are over... yech!!!

And the Minmay Valk has friggin' Minmay on it! Geez, a VF-1S with Strike armor just isn't as appealing with Minmay splashed all over it!

Jawjaw Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 I think there's just alot of people who don't like Minmay LOL - I think she is suppose to be a little annoying. I find Basara to be annoying as well but he cracks me up. Whenever a big battle breaks out or any trouble for that matter, he flies into the middle of everything, gets in everyone's way, and demands that people hear him sing. If they refuse and run away, he gets pissed and chases after them and sings even louder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMoose Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Macross 7 took everything you knew and loved about Macross and made it flaming. Even though I love Mac7, that is the funniest thing I have read in a LOOONG time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine23 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 So there is a lot of us that don't like the MM guard? I've never liked the paint scheme - I agree with Max, it's more than a bit fruity. But I do respect the hell out of the customizers who can actually make one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Major Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 well i have to say the Valk with the red flames is pretty cool once you realise that its suposed to resembel a samuri, ala the Feathers on the back being swords and that headcreast thinger, either way Feathers = gay, they shoulda used Flag like things or somethin, but it would be a pretty cool custom if done right.

Mechafan Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 The blue VF-1J does not look too bad. I did like Macross 7. Now If I can get some VF-22's and the Armored VF-11 it would be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two threads in a week , damn , you guys are getting better at this ain´t ya ? I think "hijacked" is a bit premature. Wait until there's a big, ehem "debate." Then repost this! When a pic from M7 is posted, soliciting opinions, one can most definitely expect M7 haters. It just so happens that the paricular pic shows defaced VF-1 Valkyries. Off topic, for those who are going to jump in and defend M7, ask yourself, "would I still like M7 (as much) if if didn't have the word Macross in the title?". Back on topic, I'd like to see if even a master like Jung could make one of those paint schemes look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, considering that I mainly like M7 for the characters, the character and relationship development, and the overall themes of the show, well yeah, Most definitely. Macross II has Macross in the title, and I make no secret that I don't like it. Anyone asking a question like that might want to consider the possibility that people have different tastes. This of course goes both ways. I don't expect everyone to like the show, and I can understand why some people wouldn't, while others would love it. If you believe otherwise, then you are no different than those that argue for Macross 7, expecting that everyone should love it and those with dissenting opinions are wrong. Which leads to threads being hijacked by people asking off topic questions like "would I still like M7 (as much) if if didn't have the word Macross in the title?".
