That's a great fix, but I really need to examine these wings closely to try to make one with the high speed mode. Since I have one already opened, I really don't have any excuse! 

For those on the fence of opening theirs, the wing should have some glue, just take a regular flat screwdriver and make your way inside the wing and pry it gently until the glue cracks. Once opened, you don't really need to glue the wing back together, the screws are sufficient. The glue just make the wing perfectly seamless

Another update. Almost done with the armor. I can now focus on the VF-1 and redo some parts. The thigh that got seam fixed opened up again.

 

 

 

I liked both the previous and this schem, this head is really nice, the more I see it the more I want to make the complete upgrade set...

i still got an unpainted version lying around

Depending of the scene they are more or less huge. I am not done yet but I think this vajra can be large enough for the horse riding pose:

MT, the vajra looks pretty cute once painted, but perhaps because it's larger than cats it could frighten them. 

I am pretty much done with the painting of the parts I got printed so far. 

The rest of the model is still not finished due to a lack of modeling time. That's a relief for the wallet!

Working on strengthening the legs joints and quick shots of the current paint on the hands, a lot more detailing and paint layers still remaining. 

Thanks  lot MJ

It's just paint on the outside. You can get it off with some cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol.

The painted black stripes were on the inside or you have repainted them before applying the tint?

Deleted

Am I alone to think this canopy is horrible ? Anyone else want to cut the oversized tabs and clean all the ugly metallic tint ?

You are welcome!

PM replied, the sale is almost confirmed

I am selling my YF-29 Ozma + Super parts, shipping internationally from Europe included in the price: SOLD

The figure has been transformed in battroid and displayed in a cabinet. It is in very good condition. 

I can sell the YF-29 and supers parts separately

so the Workroid model could be modded into a Cheyenne?

If I were Bandai and made molds, I would do small addons to screw on the Workroid parts to convert them. As I use 3D printing and it only costs me time to edit the current Workroid file into an optimized Cheyenne II, that what I would do.

MT: It looks like a kit made of cut plastic board, which make sense because there are very little curves in this model. This is only guesses since I didn't know of this kit either.

I was missing a few colors to complete the arms and legs, but I finished the canon and almost the head (a bit of eye-liner there and there)

i really really like the color scheme. I don't know why in frontier the vajra don't look as good as when you got it in the hands... the color mix in the vajra is super nice. Probably because the production has never used enough light on the vajra to make their colors pop. 

Last picture: I thought a little glow in the dark would be nice, and they also react to UV light

Isnt it also the same one that was in Macross Zero?

 

Its a Cod Piece weapon... highly effective  STI defence

Originally, you got the Cheyenne 1st version in Macross Zero, the Cheyenne II is supposedly just an upgraded version with nuclear engine but since the two franchises were made differently, they look a bit different. I think that in Zero the Cheyenne looks buffier. 

In delta, the Workroid is 80% à Cheyenne. 

I am too busy to make this one, I would love a DX toy out of it... come on it was aired in Delta!

can Shapeway FUD can withstand a bath of lacquer? I need to strip it from a thick lacquer paints

Probably it can, I have used alcool and acetone on it, but I would be cautious with a long bath.

I think it needs to be added to the Macrosspedia in the Macross Mecha Manual

Haha I second that!

Looking really nice as is!

I would look at the anime, since the valk was CG animated it should already be a good compromise between "official" line art and realistic design.If both are the same, then you should be fine!

And they even have a foil!! MT I can't imagine what you can do with 3D printers.

I was pretty amazed by the look of the latest 31j with all the markings.   I wished that I could get all my arcadias like that.

But now I can't get myself convinced to pay more than a 31J for a VF1. Strike or not

This custom is truly amazing with lights!

It looks fantastic! About the hole in the arm, they don't seem that deep aren't they ? If they are less than 1.5mm deep, they won't be really visible once painted, trust me!

3D printing is the future!
