    Of course that's Graham's favorite-----it's the most VF-17S-ish head.

    That YF-30 is *exactly* what I want from a VF-31A----mostly low-vis but with a nice "splash of color".

    I don't think there's any valk I want more than Mylene's. (Well, maybe a 0D in proper colors...) But for a "normal" VF-11------I would buy a VFX-2 in a second.

    It's surprising how different the -262's battroid proportions are compared to the DX. (And the DX looks WAAAY better IMHO)

    I've wished for years that they'd use black screws instead of chrome. Half the screws are "in the stripes" and would be invisible if black. But the chrome stands out. (Forearms too, not just legs)

    Am I the only one who keeps mentally calling it planet Voldemort?

    They're starting to buy used, AFAIK. Airbus is doing fine---the A321 is selling so well and so fast, the new Mobile factory is pretty much doing othing but pumping out A321's for DL, AA, and jetBlue. (because you can't buy 757's any more, and they're getting old---the A321 is the closest thing you can get---NOT a 737-900ER, despite Boeing's marketing...) Even the A321Neo won't truly match a 757 though.

    Just a quick shout-out, but if anyone's interested in selling a Generations Voy Sandstorm (Springer remold), I'm looking for one.

    Mirage is one of the series leads, it seems odd to relegate her valk to such a late release---but that does seem to be what they're doing. Especially with Arad so early on---sure he's got the "flashiest" scheme, but plot/character-wise, he's far less important than Mirage. (I'd argue against Messer as well, but his valk is heavily featured, even if his character is not).

    As this seems to be a plot/dialogue-based ep, and not "heavy mecha action" like the last one---I'll wait for subs this time, for first vieiwing. Hopefully they come out as quickly as ep 6's did. (but again--with less action, it'll likely take a bit longer to do) Anyways---gg always seems first with subs, but now I'm seeing Doki-Chihiro as an option---are they notably different/better?
  11. David Hingtgen
    Whoops, sorry, brain fart.
  12. David Hingtgen
    Different wings, nose, and head "isn't much"? That's a lot by valk standards, when it's often ONLY the head.
  13. David Hingtgen
    Sand down the missile attachment tabs. (Round off the corners). They still hold on well, but they go on and off easier.
  14. David Hingtgen
    It helps that the armor sets are far less "color-matched" than the super parts, so there's not a whole lot that needs to be changed.

    *ALMOST* comically huge? IMHO it pretty much ruins the entire team. It's too huge for Computron, much less Scattershot. They could have made it half as big, and it'd STILL make a ginormous bow for combined mode. Computron was never seen as an archer, he doesn't need/no one expects a longbow as big as he is. Half as big would still be the biggest ranged combiner weapon on the market I think. And it'd look SO much better for Scattershot's jet mode. And he could actually look ok with it in robot mode. Read/watch reviews of their Hades/Liokaiser figures, to get a sense of current TFC plastic quality.

    If anyone's a traitor, it's Mikumo. (she keeps not dying from the attacks, despite taking circuses to the face...)
  17. David Hingtgen
    Oh, I'm aware already.
  18. David Hingtgen
    I'm a huge Tornado fan but never heard about any stealth mods. Any particular term to google?
  19. David Hingtgen
    Noted, the ordnance should be fairly easy to do with CA. (I'm so picky about getting tailfins etc on perfectly straight, I'd need like 2-min CA to have enough working/adjusting time, which doesn't exist AFAIK) (though I'm that picky about weaponry too...) (probably should have CA'd the nozzles too, thinking about it)
  20. David Hingtgen
    I'm thinking that may look the best of all, by far, by simply using a wash.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Still no MG Delta 2.0? (Delta as in the original gold one, not Kai etc) Anyways---that "unknown" Build Fighters red one---the head looks familiar, but I can't place it.
  22. David Hingtgen
    All the little markings, are stickers. Very carefully trimmed and well-applied, but stickers, not tampo.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Yup, that team's looking awesome again. Too many pics to post them all, go here: http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/05/11/tfc-toys-bigbite-skalor-final-product-images-315351 Teaser: (yes, clear plastic sucks, structurally, and I just had my MP Wheeljack's clear wing hinge snap---but darn if it doesn't seem appropriate for sea-life) This also pretty much cements my decision to pass on Guardia, for now. 6 bots this size will be my most expensive combiner ever by far. (plus I gotta budget for a VF-31, Super Parts, and maybe even an Sv-262). One big combiner is about my yearly limit. (and I am a *huge* Piranacon fan, so he is the #1 priority) Also---you know, their Skalor has a really good headsculpt. TFC has definitely upped their game a lot recently, with Liokaiser and Piranacon. They look like 2 generations better than Uranos and NotPredaking...

    Progress is slow, due to "fiddly bits". Like tailplanes that have a very small attachment point (at the rear!), so it's a balancing act to try to glue them on perfectly straight and then dry that way overnight. But most (all?) valks have no tailplanes so that won't be an issue for them. Past couple days it's been basically "glue on 3 parts that have roughly similar alignment, so I can "hang it up to dry in position" for a day. Repeat.

    Whatever Hayate gets, Mirage gets too. So they can match when they tango.
