    I've got the 1/12, and for 90 USD, I'm almost tempted to grab another....I got mine for 130 (a bit much I know, but it was at a US comic store so I didn't care) and I love it... I've got the Round Mover set for mine, and I'm really hoping for the RSB Custom/Turbo Custom weapons sets with the waist guns, misile launcher and forarm cannon... cuz I've got a custom made set of decals from Devin of the sticker sheet so I can totoally do up my Scopey with decals, weathering, and a total model-esque make over. I'm surprised the 1/18 is going for that much.... it looks really nice, but my feeling was I could just do it myself... guess not everyone is that way and is willing to pay for it.

    Kurt takes comissions, so don't feel annoying sending him a PM as far as I know...

    It just seems... unecessary...

    I really like the clear boxed set.... not gonna buy it bc/ I dont need it, but I still think they are really striking when you can see all the neato joints and engineering that went into the figures...

    It's like there's something missing from the picture... some tiny detail we aren't seeing.

    I dry fit it a few times and it seemed to transform fine... it's not perfectly lined up where the hips meet the torso, but if you ewre a little more careful, it will work fine. I haven't tried transforming it since, because I've got another 19 for fighter mode... The wrist pegs rotating back no longer works tho, so instead I just remove the hands, leaving the socket. DND: It took a coulple of days prep and planning, and then the actual work wasn't more than a few days.. longer for me tho because I broke both replaced hips right afterwards and had to do the whole thing over again... not so much fun. They're rock solid now tho, after some re-engineering of how the balls mount in the hip bar.

    Kicker- They are ball and socket joints from Hobby Link Japan made by Yellow Submarine... they're the largest set in the small sized joint pack... Jenius, thanks! I like the 1/60 alot and can't wait to get mine, but I think this mod proves that the 1/72 is alright too with a little TLC...

    Hi all, I've been meaning to do this for ages and ages, but didn't have the constitution to wreck one of my YF-19s, so, when I removed this one from storage adn the leg simply dropped off (I think I grabbed it a little hard) I realized it was a sign... sure the 1/60 YF-19 was finally on its way, but I was going to finally do this mod... a hundred dollars worth of stuff from HLJ (I bought a ton of other modeling supplies) and I was knee deep in unassembled YF-19 parts... I read that these acrylic joints were tighter than polycap ones, so that's what I used... the scariest part was drilling out the hip socket area... I also decided to do a hand mod while I was at it, because I've always thought the 1.72 would look much better with some good hands... so I grabbed a set of 1/144 Gundam hands that were real nice and matched pretty well, and set about moding them to fit the YF-19 gunpod... came out really well. So yeah, the 1/60's out adn hopefully mine will be on it's way soon, but for now I like to think that after some serious mod work and some light paint work, i've got one of the best looking 1/72 19s out there.

    I hear that... seems like it oughta be soon
  12. promethuem5
    Is that subtitled?
  13. promethuem5
    Haha, oh... thanks Jenius... I'm totally gonna have to pick up a Turbo Custom or RSB Custom Scopey...

    NMB4M does really good color matching... and said in the other thread that he'd try to get it right, so no worries there. My only thing is that I think it'll have to end up having a rubber washer still, because otherwise it's not going to pose very well still...
  15. promethuem5
    Wow... those look like awesome figures... I'll have to remember to pcik up one of the 1/18 ones some time... but what's DMZ?
  16. promethuem5
    NMB4M, you should check out that super high-strentgh resin Captain America used for the VF-1D 1/48 kit... I bet that stuff'd be perfect. I might be interested... mine broke but I got a replacement from BBTS that seems to eb holding out fine, and the other side looked alright.
  17. promethuem5
    Totally unnecessary....
  18. promethuem5
    very cool work Dave... looks perfect.
  19. promethuem5
    Just get rid of SEED... bring on Unicorn Gundam and some new UC stuff... just more Zeta of something please....
  20. promethuem5
    Totally awesome... one intersitng thing I noticed, is how drastically different the joint layout on Prime is from the prototype pictures.... Revoltech joints in the hips now on the production unit... maybe it'll appease all those 'big-nut' pose haters with added flexibility? Good too see more evolution technologically alongside all the new figures!
  21. promethuem5
    Double Hijacking.... F4V, cap did offer replacement canopies to people who received funky ones initially.... I dunno if its worth your time to ask him about a replacement still... but maybe.
  22. promethuem5
    So does anyone know what the deal is with a 1/144 HCM?
  23. promethuem5
    Yes. You WILL NOT regret it... best kick-ass and take names piloted mecha series out there
  24. promethuem5
    Dont say that...Ive got the Zabi on preorder and was really hoping it would look good as I want an awesome fun playable figure that still looks all right.
