It's be nice to see a painted up version of the Battroid as well. It's definitely a subtle scheme. Very low viz like. This could wind up being a dream for people who like to paint their own schemes... except for the price/availability.
-
I don't know I think, at least based on the side and top views, that extra hinged booster completes the look. Otherwise you'd have those sort of half-sized leg attachments and nothing else. Even still, I think it's a better design then the silly pre-cursor VF-25 packs Kawamori was messing with.
-
Thanks. I didn't notice panel A there.
-
I see panels on the shins, that's not where the landing gears are located though.
-
Actually, my question was concerning the extra flaps that fold up and down at the ends of the regular wings. Not the actual wings themselves. I was wondering how well they would hold when folded over for use in Battroid. That's a case where they could easily flop back out and it would be irritating. The wings look good as is, they don't need to cut into the legs like in the show. I'd actually think that would make transformation a bitch since you'd have to figure out a way to finagle the wings out of the thighs on top of folding the legs down. That seems messy/irritating.
-
That style of VF-4 Fast pack was directly taken from that VF-1 concept. This is pretty cool looking too. Are you going to make that crazy looking cannon as well? I'm chomping at the bit for more VF-4 pictures/info too. We all are.
-
Good question about missiles in the chest. They're thick but it doesn't look like they open. I don't recall that they ever contained missiles anyway.
-
Yeah, no, it was Sketchely who did it. They're definitely not the Kawamori one's... I actually think this fan design is cooler. http://studiootaking.deviantart.com/gallery/142336#/d11d6a4 http://studiootaking.deviantart.com/gallery/142336#/d11damm

If Shapeways stop being dicks about things how about a fourth one and you can customize it with those fast packs Veef (I think it was him) designed for the VF-4.
-
Huh, there may not be any landing gear access with the armor on at all. I'm glad I have a second one I can slap these parts on but that thigh piece looks like it's going to be a pain in the ass to keep on during transformation/posing. Also, with the way those things clip on I'm willing to bet some paint is going to disappear.
-
I'm not going to hem and haw but I believe Chronocidal is right that it would be lazy not to fix it. It's also still possible they're tweaking things and haven't gotten to it yet? Remember the nose didn't used to have any curvature and they've now fixed that. The feet were old VF-1 looking feet until just recently they've changed shape/function (though they don't recess to some people's preferences... yet.) it's possible they're still working up/tweaking the placement for other things and won't bother until the end. Getting the transformation to function is the #1 priority. I'm sure fin configuration is at the end of a very long list.
-
This poll still isn't really accurate. This poll asked how many would I buy, not how many I'm actually going to. I would buy three. I like to leave one in each of the three modes. Realistically based on price and the time of year they're releasing I'm only getting one.
-
How well are those wing pivots going to hold? Are they just relying on friction?
-
What do you mean by "poor" master of macross? It kinda seemed like you were praising the VF17 over the 171, then you used the term poor which is the opposite? Do you mean that it's a cleaner look because it doesn't have so many colors/tampo all over it?
-
That scheme doesn't look too boring right there. Hopefully they'll include a lot of Tampo as well.
-
Actually the reason why a lot of us resist so many of the policies you EU guys implement is because we know precisely how much more expensive things will become as a result. That's neither here nor there. It sucks you can't buy these things because they're so expensive.
-
Out of few schemes we've seen the VF-4 in Hikaru's is definitely the most attractive. However, I'm not offended by the VF-X one and will be extremely happy to add it to my collection. I do like to have varying schemes if I can help it.
-
You're in luck, it's pretty fun to swoosh around in fighter mode anyway so you can play around with it like that in the mean time.
-
How does shutting down the website portion of the company affect the rest of the publication business? There's no mention of any other department having layoffs but there is mention the publication side will continue.
-
In my completely uninformed opinion, what is taking these guys so long? In other news I wonder what the odds are they'll make books for some of the more "obscure" Valks. They've already got models/art assets for the VF-4, 11, 17 and 171 based on the other four books already released.
-
There's plenty of us hoping. Is there a chance of one... I'm betting no.
-
He already went over this, even if they're white you'll still have to paint them. They don't match.
-
I was thinking more for those of us with lesser modeling abilities that it might be easy to make that part either too large or too small (with the sanding/painting) to keep the intakes fitting together correct. Though it is semi-exposed in Battroid, the wings cover it for the most part.
-
Wow, so that entire hip has to be replaced huh? The fact that nub on top assists with holding fighter/gerwalk together kinda concerns me if there's going to be any need to sand/paint/whatever.
-
It has some articulation issues in Battroid I feel keeps it from being "flawless."
