I too love the gold trims on Keith's SV-262, I really want another 262s, but just not again Keith's one. I would take anyone that comes first between Elvis or the silver Ba's

Hey thanks MechTech, but my customs can't be compared to yours. You know I am watching you and your VF-5000: go paint it already!

That tells me that I need to model an "Arcadia compatible" single pylon set for these ACSWS.
-
ACSWS are too big to populate the 3 slots on triple pylons. You can still use a triple pylon if you cut the tabs on the left and right sides. The ACSWS-1A are easy to sand too So far my favorite missiles are the TMM 201, they are square really easy to sand down! I also like the PACSWS because this is very imposing, a bit tricky to sand because they are curved and I am a big fan of the glass for electronic.

Probably the TV series, I just re-watched the movies and they are not in there. I will have a closer look to the TV ep, I think this is around the time when every VF-25 got armored to carry Reaction Missiles (attack of the Boldoza style vessel ?).

I am on the 1D variant, and they are very interesting because they are supposed to release 4 missiles near the final target. I would like to modelize that ... brainstorming currently
-
Yeah, there is a scene where the SMS Quarter deck is full with armored Vf-25A, but the toy never made through.

Nothing is really safe with Bandai ... Remember the VF-25A armored version that never showed up? But I think that the 31A already did sale better than the 25A, so if sales are good, we can bet that Bandai will milk us - and I will be milked happily too -

I believe Shapeways used to have a 20% promo in March, but you still can grab 15% discount any time with "Extended print delay" (the function is quiet buggy, leave my a PM if it doesn't work). I also will order a second speaker pod for Arad's 31. God Arad is going to be expensive: Arad with Supers+ speaker pod and a second with Armor packs! I also found some nice rubber tires to replace the standard wheels, I much prefer the feel of rubber tires particularly to make great poses on the glass shelves like in the Detolf. That's why the Cheyenne is so manly! Joking of course, I believe this design would have never been approved with nowadays criteria.

Almost done, painting is done at least. There are a few things missing: -a little wash, not decided yet if it really needs a dirtier look -print the new wheels and assemble the rubber tires permanantly -deciding on which decals to put on it !

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
Xigfrid replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
@aaajin Thank you for sharing your Calibre model with us. I would never expect this level of details from a 1/72 pre-assembled model, really this is bluffing. Now my only wish is that someday they scale up to 1/60, even if it is under the "R" name -
Considering the pre-orders begins 6 months before the release date, it should be already open to pre-order but I guess Bandai wanted to wait for the Movie first.

Not a fan of Arad's so far because he is supposed to be a super Ace pilot but never act so in the TV Serie, even after Messer passed out. I really love the Armor and its "Stamped look" though, so I need this one pre-ordered Now!

Slowly updating this thread, the painting is progressing at a lower speed because of a very busy work and family schedules. Still a lot to do, but it gots some presence already.

Figuarts/Figma Scaled 3D Printed Sharon Apple Virturoid
Xigfrid replied to QuinJester's topic in The Workshop!
That's a nice idea and that scale really brings her details up. I always wanted to make a fully detailed and case-opening Sharon in 1/6 scale but couldn’t justify it because of the lack of macros figures at this scale... -
I was looking for references on the ACSWS-1D type and found this picture related to the Wonderfest 2018. Apparently this is a printed resin kit that was sold during the Wonderfest show on "Excelsus" stand. 1/72 scale including Reaction Missiles, AMM-112SQ and two ACSWS-1A. I think that on this version the mounting points are too much forward for both AMM-112SQ and ACSWS-1A pylons. I guess any designer would have its own interpretation of the missiles.
-
-
@ivorysniper I just finished the ACSWS-1A variant. Both 1:60 DX scale and 1:72 scales are available.
-
I think also buying extra armor packs for the 31A in case that it never going to Ben released... as we see in the picture, the tips of the armor pack are light grey instead of red, that means that the dedicated 31A armor pack should be in the pipe but could never be released such as VF-25A and YF-29 Roid armor packs.

I don't really understand the issues you are facing right now, but as soon as I will receive the booster, it should be clearer. If by then you haven't figured out a solution, I will try to have a look too.
-
Hi @Jaustin89, I was wondering if the model available on shapeways is good to order or if you want to make small changes before I place an order. Concerning the Super pack, I am 99% that the VF-25G released it super pack together with the "new technology/enhanced" fold booster, and that they folded together in a losange shape and they stayed in orbit until the VF-25F took it to come back to Frontier, giving us the joice of having a red VF-25F equipped with the blue super packs. I remember telling me that it would be nice to have an adapter to hold the fold booster together with Michael Super pack just like it was shown in the episode.

I can’t stop thinking that the white/red color schem was chosen only for easier sale purposes, this so far from Arad VF-31 color schem

That’s a super pack for once! Too bad that the pod doesn’t fold back but that won’t worry me that much. I just hope that this armored Pack is as light as feather and that it can be displayed easily without the need of plastic reinforcements and display stand for battroid

Your Vf-0S is truly beautiful, and this thread is inspiring! It got me to buy some decals to detail up my destroid and if everything goes well I can continue on my VF-0S too
