I think it really depends on what Pazu is up to:

1) if only building the kit, 1/72 or 1/48: I think both could be feasible with 1/72 being more salable

2) if Pazu can build and paint the kits, then doing a 1/60 version for Yamatos/Arcadias would be highly salable because most of us buy the 1/60 already painted VF1s. And if most of us are like me, we have no skills to paint the kit.

EDIT:

If I was asked, I would vote for a 1/60 painted & assembled Atmospheric Booster + arm acting like a display stand. And if ever this kit is successfull enough why not doing the Vehicule as an Addon to this kit !

(3D printing is such an incredible tool!)

I would be in for such a kit depending of the price of course.

- Lightnings ! They can do it for their Gundam! Comon! )

- A "solid" anime-accurate leg attachment (not the floppy iteration imagined for 1/72 Bandai version or Yamato V1)

- Improved arm transformation like here http://www.macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/vf-1a-valkyrie/vf-1-transformation2.gif

etc, there are so small details to be improved, there is no need to change the scale/design to make it worth the upgrade!

so cute.

Woah! Very nice match! This sdf-1 is greatly detailed, amazing for a 3P

hum, but if 1/55 scale, that would be no go for me!

Nobody panicked about the forming gap on the dropping nose? I do

I pre-ordered 4, and also made this adapter on Shapeways (http://www.shapeways.com/model/2834468/y2b-attach.html) to attach any Bandai Valk to it.

Unfortunately I don't own the recent VF-1 from Arcadia, so I can't really test that for now. I only own the SV-51 and YF-21 stands. I've put the adapter in Beta state until I can confirm it is suitable!

Nice story indeed, thx for sharing!

Nice! Thank you for the update

Any news Erikos? Please confirm you received my paypal payment and let us know if you had time to post the uniform.

Thanks!

Sceptical about the Bandai quality on:
-the landing gears, I don't think that Bandai is capable to match Arcadia quality
-the canards seem folded backward in battroid ?
-I much prefer the way T-Rex made the shoulder super parts, perhaps Bandai is fixing it ?
-would they implement high speed mode, I hope so and this is where Bandai can out-perform the awkward Arcadia mechanism

Anyway what do we know about the differences between this V-19 advanced and the old Dyson YF-19 ?

Weird decision from bandai. But why not!

Haa! This is because I couldn't identify the third dual arm. That's clear now thank you

Sorry, but still confusing.

Can you make a schematic with colored parts, a color corresponding to the complete Yetistand and other colors for each extras, just to make sure I got everything right ?

(...) Original "Flight Pose" Great for posing, strength and the possibility of removing your valk with ease. Price was great too. No longer available.

I don't know what exactly you mean by "original", but you can still order the "New" ones. But only on a pre-order basis now.

Still the "new" FlightPose stands may probably alter the painting on Bandai DX valks where the caoutchou touches it, but nothing a sealer/finish spray can't fix. And I haven't got any trouble with Yamato / Arcadia valk yet.

I really like Yetistands poseability, I will probably order a few for my Bandai DX

The bandai paint was immune to turpentine solvent, so I had not that much hard time during painting. I got some trouble with the final matte finish, Tamyia spray did react a bit with the painting under the masking tape though, by chance I did spray only on the new gray bands.

I did the canards but didn't know for the tail fins, That's easy fix if there is no sticker there!

Thanks, the grey was sanded enough to give a little weathering feel. I don't really want to add brand new "no step" decal... For the moment

I really don't regret messing with it anyway

That black border really did bother me, so I decided to try to paint it with a traditional brush -even if numerous of you warned me not to use enamel paint!-

Ok, you were damn right guys, it was almost impossible to do it because of the paint would cover the "No Step" marks, but I tried and made a few mistakes, I tried to lighten the paint with turpentine and so on.

Finally I reached a result good enough to my taste. A few picks of it... Not the most beautiful painting job I admit

Count me for one, sending an PM

(...) Even the vf-4 has an odd tail fin hinge that can be difficult to get into correct position though.

These hinges have a self-stop angle, you need push them all the way inside. Just the same system of the canopy fins but a little less obvious

The super-glue trick tidied up my hyper-floppy SV-51's wings, so I don't worry anymore for any floppy wing

I was granted clearance from the Valk's owner to transform it.

Its interesting on how the light reflects off the parts it shows as a different color.

Enjoy!

Bonus!

Rivals take a moment to pose of the camera.

This one!

It really tells how big SV-51 is... if you consider how big already is the VF-0S !

Amazing shots

Now I got a question if I really want a 0B: can I hope for its release after all the 0S, 0A, reactive armor, ghost etc? Or do I need to buy 2 VF-0D and 2 VF-0A to combine them into a VF-0B ?

I don't have much info into the new TV serie, perhaps there are a bunch of repaints in it… Because I don't see Bandai investing in a whole new mold just for one shot (exception to the VF-27!) specially for a valk that appeared only in a game

Really amazing weathering/tampos. Did you matt finish it ?

Thanks, I much prefer the complete kit if you can spare some of your time in this project!
