Hi @Mommar, if the second print is far worse than the first you should send them an email about it with pictures. They will reprint it for you if the defect is obvious. 

Thank you both for the instructions, I will try to get some time to assemble and paint it but I have been very busy lately with 3D modeling. 

It looks like it would be a big add on ! I am looking forward for the 1:60 ones

It looks like the back of the head that snapped off when you tried to pull it out. I don’t know if it is supposed to detach or not though but no big deal anyway just glue it back

That ET VF-2SS looks really awesome now, very nice job!

Yep, I have tried to sand earlier, perhaps 12h is enough to have the primer dry when it is hot. But everytime I waited about a day, the primer was completely dry and firm, that’s really easier to sand and also better to wet sand.

Cleaning Complete O_o

That’s Truly an amazing 171 collection! 

Nice customs, I love the pain schems too.

i can’t wait to see them assembled and in all modes. 

YES @Mommar: You should prime all the surface of the model at a time, I think it is easier when mounted on alligator clips, because you spray them and keep them on the clips when drying.

BUT I have a limited amount of alligator clips (and patience to spray a lot of clips individually) so I keep the maximum of missiles together so I can spray, dry and sand them altogether. Sanding the missiles on their sprues is manageable if you torn the sprues a bit.

After the third primer pass, you will probably remove the missiles out of the sprues, sand them carefully and add the final paint layer then detailing with clear canopies and done.

Wow amazing finished valk! There is some nice engineering in it, with so little visible screws. You should be proud

Wow times flies... i can’t believe I had this pod on the bench for 2 months. I had time to paint it, minus the reverse side that need to be color-matched with Arad’s VF-31S. I will do that once it will arrives. 

I am pretty happy with this version.

Awesome.  I guess I’ll be the first to order.

You are!

well is going to be a long way after finished the 3D model I try printed and hope the magnets can hold the weight the missile pods otherwise the drill will have to be the alternative

Since the leg armor is a recast, you should just drill, screw and glue the missile boxes. 

Are you making opening latches?

I have no idea what I’ll do once I get them.  I really have no time to spend and my buddy is a fantastic miniatures painter but he’s never prepped or sanded anything like this before.

 

Despite your dislike for the missiles I really appreciate the fact you're willing to put them up.  I need to figure out how to design stuff like you do anyway.  One, so I don't have to ask somebody else to do it, two, because I know have a few ideas for my own.

Hey Mommar, I am sure your buddy would love to sand these, this is really an easy task, it just takes a lot of time between drying phases.

Here are the AMM-112SQ! They are slightly thicker than described in the Master File because I wanted them to match my previously made TMM-201. They should be a ton easier to prepare than the AMM-101 and they can be displayed on dual pylons too!

Hey, our community never have enough 3D modelers, go on

I wished AE was first, and too bad for NY, at least they will learn the lesson for screwing us on the 31A!

On Paypal, select the transaction, report an error, select the error (I listed 'other' and stated I ordered from the wrong site). Worse comes to worse I'll just have to call up my cc company and tell them to pull the funds. I accidentally ordered from the wrong site at 430am when I rolled out of bed for the mad rush, lol.

Be carefull because the first message you fill in paypal interface will go to the vendor.

thanks for the replys guys

I panicked too, ordered at Nin-Nin first, then one with CDJ. How bad is it to recover the money with Nin-Nin if they don't deliver ?

Well not exactly, my order was only 10 away from the latest shipped order and now it seems being skipped by NY... refreshing my mailbox again...

France is not a common destination though

I was pretty sure they were almost the same fold booster (at first sight). 

If the difference is minor, I wouldn’t mind Bandai to reuse it for the 31A under the anime magic argument. I mean sometime, the VF toys are really inaccurate and far from what we see on screen.

Thank for the support @Mommar! I only hope that you will find some time to polish these or perhaps you can commissioned. 

As far as I am concerned, I prefer the TMM over the smaller AMM-SQ but I can make them just for the sake of accuracy to the Master file.

You should really sell that master on to return to kits form to preserve your work...

Thing is that I really plan to make a "renewal version" of the X-9 ghost at some point with better engineering and if I can with some esthetic improvements. I have a few plans for the near future already, but that would be cheating on RTKF if I were to sell them the current Master

@Xigfrid I know this mold has been shut down for some time but if you or anyone else is willing to sell their copy I’m game. 

If you end up making these again in the future I will not miss out this time.  

Hi Rogueload, that honors me unfortunately I have no recast kits anymore. I still have the plastic "Master" I can sell if you think you can sand a few parts and paint the kit yourself. If any interest leave me a MP to discuss it. Otherwise, you can ask on the "WANTED" section, perhaps you will have more feedback there.

Amazing painting skills
