MickyG's Yamato VF-1S Unpainted, Unassembled Kit Build
Mommar replied to mickyg's topic in The Workshop!
You know, the bit about the sealing plate on the wings causing that "wing sweep" marking might actually help you mask area's where the paint could chip or scratch. If you're going for realism and a marked up bird anyway you might as well extrapolate that "realism" to some of the more fantastical parts. It would make sense a Valk that has gone through many transformations is going to have other parts rubbed going back and forth between modes. Why not include that detail as well, then transforming might not be as much of a problem. -
Maybe the Sheryl figure is a hint they've got one of their perv-dolls of her coming?
-
That 19 would be bad-ass but... the molds for the VF-19 are that damn glossy plastic and this thing would look so much better matte. Modifying the wings to include hard points so we could loud out our 19's would be cool too. Which old molds are you referring to? Reivaj didn't mention anything about Arcadia using an old mold for anything.
-
This is not proper folding?
-
So the mechanism is more simple then we think? Hmm. This thing is looking mighty done. We may be seeing a December 31st/January 2014 release.
-
I'm in that regret mode too. Oh well. Thanks for posting pics for us. I like the fact that blue is a deeper shade then what most other people use.
-
I guess that would be a bummer for some of you guys, and at one time I would have lamented that scenario myself. At this point in time I'm comfortable with, and sometimes prefer, being able to decal my own Valks so it wouldn't personally bother me at this point. I still don't think they will do that, however.
-
Why wouldn't they? Except for the designer who didn't care for the kites on the 17 every other Valk has had them where they should be.
-
Shipping has been slow on mine. I won't see it until next week most likely.
-
Has anybody tried the waterslide decals yet? How are they? I've never put waterslides on before. Some tips before my 30th Anniversary arrive would be great.
-
Buying used toys is already a risk. Buying used Transformable Valkyries... that's a HUGE risk. It sucks the gunpod is broken but maybe a fix won't be that hard/obvious?
-
I like the fact that from the top-down the Tornado parts essentially give the VF-25 the profile of the YF-24.
-
The website says 17". For the space I was putting it in I wanted it to be at least 19". I do like things sparse but sometimes I want to put the Valks three rows deep and 19"-20" works better for that as well.
-
I kinda want the super packs for my Max 1J but I also kinda don't feel like searching for them. They don't really sit right on the Hi-Metal.
-
Wow, that's why they looked so familiar. I had checked those cases out but wasn't sold as they aren't deep enough for my liking.
-
What kind of cabinets are they? Where did you get them? Dust proof?
-
Odd, you were the one who pointed out that the last several years the QC has been good, which I agree with, as I have zero valks with shoulder problems (including my original release Hikaru 1A). It was Black Valkyrie who was repeating inaccurate, dated information as if it were still fact.
-
I do get tired of people who still repeat that nonsense.
-
To be honest the white and red looks cooler.
-
Wow, you're right, it isn't. Hmm. Are there any special waterslide decals that could go there instead?
-
Yeah, I'm confused by that as well. At first I thought this was a fourth color for a Hikaru version or something.
-
I'm not one to brag but I have a lot more money than that squared away. However, I would hope these things are spaced out a bit... I don't know if I could justify that many similar heads (don't look at all of my VF-1's, don't look at all of my VF-1's...)
-
I find Nerd-linger's paint scheme ideas fun. I'd love to see what other combinations/styles he could come up with. Do you have the Master File book? Could you do up a SVF-440 Dullahan's scheme for us to dream about?
-
At this stage the M&M releases would cost $200+. I'd probably have to rebuy them for the side-covers too... and replacement decals.
