Waiting for these displays NZEOD, they already loo epic! Derex I wish I had your dexterity for painting... My Vajra got final and perfect wires: 1) 0.5mm diameter Copper for the rear legs 2) 0.7mm diameter Copper for the head and front legs I finished then the tail using a glow-in-the dark wrist band and the eyes with some super-glue+baby powder mix. It also got stress-tested by my daughter haha ! It succeded and got a revenge from a 1/72 size figure Now I need to figure out if it needs matte or glossy finish, any idea ?
-
You are just right on time to make a reservation. I will let you know when it's time to pay.
-
Yours have probably been put apart to be sent together with your 1:60 drone
-
Thanks for the confirmation! I have been preparing the assembly manual lately and just finished the box art:
-
Hi Jeff, theoretically your drone should have been sent 1 or 2 weeks ago. If you haven't received it yet, please confinrm it with Jasonc. Feel free to let me a PM if you need anything else
-
It reminds me the VF-25 V1... Oh well time to wait until these VF-31 Version 2!
-
Combined shipping will definitely be cheaper. I don't know yet by how much. At first thought it can probably be the same price for up to 2 ghosts based on the weight.
-
Nice and thank you! I will update 1st post soon, when I receive and clean the parts.
-
The front landing gear obviously doesn't slide inside, just like the 25s' ones I am wondering how the DX version will differs
-
If Arcadia would ever make a VF-1D version3, the cockpit should match exactly these proportions! Just perfect to the eye!
-
Amazing built so far! Nice addon MT, this project is progressing nicely
-
Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Absolutely GORGEOUS ChaoticYeti! Did you plan to make at some point a "dust umbrela" ? -
Would like a couple of red ones also, just give us the OK to PM you our address!
-
Believe me, this thing is truer to life than what you would expect! I am still undecided if I keep this wristband tail or if I make on from a tube assembly Riding the VF-25F like a boss!
-
That's possible but indeed odd, because the price would be at least three times higher. That's the reason of making a resin kit
-
I have been working on this one today since I just bought 0.6mm diameter steel wire. Steel wire was so tough, that I scratch the paint when trying to pass the wire through the figure. At the end, the Vajra is really tight now, I will probably look for a weaker metal wire. I also need to fix the paint before sealing it, but I couldn't resist to take a few pictures as is.
-
In a week or so I will have the resin parts, I will then need the payments. Once I got the payments, I will place a global order on Shapeways to have the plastics parts and the Metal parts for the landing gears if needed. This adds 2-3 weeks until I receive the Shapeways parts and ship the kits.
-
Great idea aajin, I just update the 1st post accordingly. "The Master is now complete and the production has started. I am taking pre-orders NOW. No payment required until painting starts." The kit is 1:60 scale, sorry no 1:72 scale for the moment. Prices are as follow: 150 USD the complete resin kit and 3D plastic parts for missiles and screws. If you want it painted you should add 50 USD. And for the retractable stainless steel + Rubber tires landing gears, you should add 50 USD also.
-
I thought that having these ready to ship would convince a few more, I hope so though.
-
I received earlier than expected some pictures of the production, I wanted to share them with you:
-
From the album: 3D parts fits and tests
-
My hope is this being released sooner: I really can't get excited by the Delta things right now...
-
Seems it is in the pipe! http://hobby.dengeki.com/event/180838/ EDIT: just realized that this thing is probably in 1:100 scale, but it is a good sign for the DX line anyway
-
I've just received the "crystal clear nylon elastic" lines, and they are so not tight that I decided to go all the way with metal 0.5mm wires to replace the too big copper wire I already used. They are ordered and on their way now! In the mean time I began the slight sand the figure and applied the first primer layer, I already love this Vajra! And you know what ? If the metal wires are strong enough, that would push me to go bigger, you see what I mean, bigger like the red ones
-
You are correct. The options involve some expensive components such as metal 3D printing parts and a lot of additional personal work. If I could just outsource these in a factory that would be much cheaper but for an even larger production...
