That's a nice collection ... of Yetistands!

The center cabinets looks much larger than the Detolf cabinets: I am envying you for this VF-0 display, they have so much space! Since you have both can you tell where you got these and how much better than the Detolf they are ?

Oups just noticed that they were discussed in there. I will follow the comments, nice display !

Your legios looks excellent

This! The DX have none unless you have missiles to put it on. Right?

 

Ho yeah !

The DX have none!!

Zentradi faces genesis is happening now ! https://vimeo.com/aposema

The funny part is that these masks are controlled by a few facial expressions (6), which could explain why Zentradis lost most of their emotions.

Mr Hobby H79, Dark yellow, as base color.

Mr Hobby H70, RLM2 Grey, as darker accent.

Revell Enamel 79, Green Metallic

and Humbrol Enamel Matte Brown, 186, for the belly and for the wash. 

That would be available only during a Tv show, where as a member of the public, you can participate to the live lottery to win the chance to play the game and answer the questions as fast as possible in Japanese and concerning Delta universe. The fastest guys only would win the VF-31A. 

That would be called the ultra limited edition Bandai...

Screws: only M1.7 x 6mm 

1mm diameter pins, average length 6mm, max length 18mm

three metal screw + bolts size 3mm x 20mm

2 metal bars diameter 1.8mm x 65mm

No extra part needed except if you want to light up te laser canon, but I don't think that's worth the effort. 

The Vajra is built in humanoid form from the bottom to the top, so you should begin that way if you want to reduce disassembling and extra manipulations. As explained on page 1, all the parts are sold without margin except for the head, chin and Carap part1.

My favorite and best engeenered parts are the head and chin, you should try them first to "feel" how complex this figure is. But expensive. On a second thought there are also the front legs (hands in humanoid form) and the laser Canon which are great models too IMO.

Who's a good boy? Oh, who's a good boy? Yes, you! Yes, you are!

That totally fits the spirit

Ho! Then let me know if you need any help for assembly. That a quiète a puzzle without instructions !

Yeah that metallic paint is not looking good in any lighting conditions. You hardly can tell who is piloting, if you don't "ride the wind"...

I would love to repaint mine but I would prefer to test on a spare canopy than on the original. 

Also your panel lining is looking super, I should makeup mine too, but curious about the treatment you would do to the 262

Nah, it'll be an event-exclusive VF-31 with clear canopy.

If I could recast or print in clear plastic, I would have made numerous copies of the 31s canopies and also a reshape of the YF-25 Prophecy

@Slave IV, @spanner thanks!

@Saburo You can try the largest missiles, they will be easier to prepare and paint and then decide if you need more

@Lolicon I re watched Delta a few times and I have to agree that most of the action is concentrated in the 5 first episodes.

Hey thank you @Jasonc, that figure is probably the one with the highest parts number that I will ever design. The arms+hands and the chin in particular have unique articulation designs that can't be used in other models. All that makes this figure very special to me.

I have chosen the colors according to Bandai "non-scale" prototype that used Olive Drab for the main body

dark green : Tamiya TS-28 Olive Drab 2
dark red (main body) : Tamiya TS-33 Dull Red
bright red : Tamiya TS-85 Bright Mica Red

yellow accents: Revell Enamel 12 Yellow Gloss
metallic accents: Revell Enamel 97 Green Metallic

Hayate Attack!

 I just don't have the correct setup to shoot this big one ... Because I had out of the detolf, I had to make a size comparison with the VF-31.

I made a few black backed shoots of this little one today. I don't know if Delta will ever come across the Vajra, but who knows !

I just tested a new all black GorillaPod, my copy was 5.00 USD and I equipped it with a standard GoPro adapter at 1.00 USD  The tripod was rated at 1.2Kg, and in hand it feels more solid than that, all my figures were feeling safe once mounted.

The really great thing about this display stand, is that most of its surface is velvet black, so it is ideal for a black back photo shoot. The pod comes with a 360° ball joint that can be tightened tight and can hold easily your Bandai/Arcadia valks. I am pretty happy with these results.

My Flight Pose stands showed up today, finally I can display my YF-19 as it ought to be.

My FlightPose stands are from an (old 2013 or so) previous batch and their rubber bits have dissolved the red and black paint on my Arcadia 19, so be meticoulous to avoid any contact with something else than raw plastic.

But if they don't "eat" painting, let me know

Exactly, as explained here, these 3 are my favorite tools. 

yep, sand as much as possible on the sprues, then cut them and finish the sanding individually. Once done, put them individually on a wire from the bottom (there is a hole specially for that) so you can spray them all together.

Looking nice, really. If you haven't sand them yet, you can expect a very clean result after it. Make sure to let dry hard before. 

If you have a six face hand polisher, you can sand and polish with the same tool

Looking already nice! Considering the small size of these parts, the grainy paint would be almost invisible

From what I can guess, the missiles come with a standard dual missile mount that can clip into the wing.

Then you got also a black adapter that attach around the "super part" arm cover into which you can clip the standard dual missile mount instead of directly under the wing.

That's a slight warpping, you should fix it with a gentle massage by bending slightly the opposite way
