The red one was printed in white Pa12 (standard plastic) and the grey one was printed in MJF PA12 (grey plastic). They both need 3 passes of prime/sanding to obtain a smooth surface. Just take your time to smooth them before painting!

Hi guys, thanks Jasonc for answering all the questions ! Mechapilot77, since I buy precut pins, I haven't adjusted / cut pins to the strict recommended lengths. for instance, if it is said to use 13mm long pins, you should be good with either 12mm or 14mm ones.

I generally use the white PA which is the standard white plastic from shapeways or the grey/black plastic which is MJF plastic from HP. Both are as strong as injected ABS plastic used in “quality” toys. But because they are strong and have a natural grainy aspect, they are hard to smooth (and time consuming)!

Hi guys! I was catching up with the thread and then I saw a few hot answers about me. I really don’t mind if you want to buy the official version or my version, but as a Macross fan, I will at least buy one copy of Bandai’s speaker pod. That’s because I really like the speaker pod and I thought it had much more meaning with the general story than the default “drone chargeuuuh”. Also, I know that the official release will have clever mechanisms that will help me designing new customs This speaker pod hasn’t sold much in my shop. Where the weapons and custom missiles have sold 10x or 20x more! So I just hope at some point that Bandai release more weapon options, and I am sure it won’t disappoint in sales compared to this speaker pod.

That’s really really nice! I haven’t finished mine yet but I can see how much love and work you did on the sanding alone! The weathering fits well this figure too! Great job!

@Lolicon I can find one for you if you are not afraid of painting a 3D printed valk

Yes you can found these at custom car parts such as https://www.ebay.com/itm/Chameleon-Color-Changing-Tint-Vinyl-Wrap-Sticker-Headlight-Film-Car-Light-Lamp-/153488396871?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

That’s looking really great! Just a note about the head, there is a rail inside to put a plastic visor. You can cut it from any clear or colored “eating” plastic box. On the one below, I have used a chameleon colored plastic behind and clear plastic on top of this one.
-
Nice found!
-
Wasn’t it @ChaoticYetiwho made a 3D printed replacement of this part?
-
Ok! If you prefer the fighter mode, you can probably slide the head completely inside the cover after you take pictures of the battroid of course! Doing so can scratch a bit the head painting but the fuselage will be seamless.
-
Which mode is your favorite?
-
Nice pictures @Jasonc! Thanks for sharing your custom with us.

I made some time ago an articulated hand that could retract in fighter mode. But seeing your photo, I think I can try to print a much larger articulated hand and see if I can fold it better. I just need to dig my 1st release VF-4 now !
-
The 31 line was great from a mechanical point of view, the toy is solid and articulations are great. But they lack presence compared to the 25. The Delta valks, armor parts and supers can’t even compare to Frontier’s.
-
I think so! You have a better memory than me on this
-
You don’t need, I myself have found a few of these pylons from Taobao. I think they are direct recast of the originals.

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Xigfrid replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Thank you all, I also know showZ and sure they have a good rep. Unfortunately last time I checked, they didn’t have great shipping rates for France. I believe the J-20 is scaled around 1:80- 9246 replies

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Xigfrid replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I am trying to find it on aliexpress, and I can’t find it, even the shops that was selling it as pre-order. Anyone has a plausible explanation for this, it looks like this J-20 has been banned from aliexpress ? -
I have bought a dozen of these cubes as small Christmas gifts for my kids and their friends. They were between $21 and $30 bought from aliexpress.

It looks great
