Cool! Any figher mode pics? 425500[/snapback] No stickers yet, but here you go. If only they made these in all gray I think the grey would be could, but I would rather go for the dark blue color instead. Nice pics.

Nice pics!!! This thread needs a 1/48 FANRACER!!

It is. The Yamato Display Stand, in CHROME.

Excellent Job!!!! Look clean and lean!!! Go to the "For Sale" threads there are some for sale NOW!!

I just got me Set 1. These are awesome to say the least. I like the overall size, look, and feel. They are a perfect display piece to have on my desk. I know there are people out there who disagree whole-heartedly...and to those I say, SHADDAP YUZ!!!

210.00??? Where?? C'mon spill it!!

Damn Rob, you almost gave me a heart attack!!!

Molds are still nice and fresh. Cleaning is required on these. I decided to leave the flash as it helps to keep an account on all the parts required for both hands. Believe me, it's much better this way. While setting the molds I almost lost several of the tiny original parts twice. Luckily, I keep a clean workshop. So the parts were found. Just PM me if you'd like some. The gundam hands were recasted by NightmareB4Macross. From what I understand on these, they are from the Zabe kit (probably didn't spell that right). They are posable and are on a ball joint. You just have to find a joint to put it in after you cut off the hands on the valk, and you have a perfectly new hand. I will also create the retracted hand shield when it's done, but gotta keep the slides because of the armor pieces. 422284[/snapback] The hands are from the Bandai Sazabi Kit. They are re-casted with all the individual parts, 11 peices per hand. Great job on that Elint!!!! 422456[/snapback] Are you still making them or should I just go out and parts rape some gundam kits. HLJ have gundam hands like those but as far as I can remeber they are all fixed ones 422562[/snapback]

Hey you!!! Stop being such a window shopper and give in already!!!

No stress or tension on any parts. Before I conclude all the mods on this VF-1D to be lineart and anime(magic) correct. I still need to correct the floopy head syndrome and head would hang down so low. I got the head at the stage where it stays nice and tucked cleanly into the fuselage , and still looks nice in battroid mode, it still loose as ever. I'm sure there is a better way to keep it from being so loose. More to come.

Well, if they were to produce the Beta (which they arent') the part(s) used to combine the two will be produced alongside with it. Toynami thinks there trully is not enough demand for the mecha. So they just can't justify it to themselves to produce it.

There are several parts that need modification. - Heatshield, pegs have to be cut and brought forward towards the nosecone. - The sliding rails have to be extended and the chestplate will also have to be used as part of the rail system. - Backplate, groves are cut in so the heatshiel can slide into the backplate without disturbiing the swingbar and shoulder plates, when in fighter mode. Also this prevents the heatshield from jamming up anyting during transformation. - Small polygon cover of the backplate must be cleared to allow the heatshield to reside in the new backplate groves. This also allow for a perfectly flush fit between all parts in fighter mode. Now everone, it's time to bug Graham. We know it can be done, the new question is "When will Yamato do it?" ***These are just a few of the major changes, that NEED to be done. There a few others minor alterations to make it work.

Without further adieu, I present the once thought to be impossible... VF-1D with sliding heatshield.

I might have to prove you wrong....later. 421157[/snapback] how much later? 421208[/snapback] Will this VF-1D, with the head properly tucked into the fuselage, do? Where the heatshield? It's actually inside the VF-1D, just as it should be. I would like to give credit where credit is due. Thanks, Cap'n (for the sculpt) and Bigkid24 (for the kit he sold me). ***Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I will add more pics later today. Also if you look at the head lasers, they are now lineart correct.

I might have to prove you wrong....later.

My gawd, that is f***ing beautiful!!!

Yeah, that Bandai head mold was a POS .... 421101[/snapback] The head wasn't that bad. I only think that it's because people wanted the DYRL sculpt when Bandai release these with the hybrid TV/DYRL heads. I don't care what anyone says, I still love my chunky monkeys.

It's a TV/DYRL bastard just like the VF-1A CF. For a TV head, check out the pics test forum to see what NMB4M is working on - sweetness... 420398[/snapback] Oh stop, you're making me blush. This is what the TV head looks like. I have a few more details to work out and it will be complete.

Got any more info. I'm sure I can find it for you.

Woah, woah, there little buddy. Since you're calling it quits and it's mostly due to nostalgic prices. How about you sell me all you 1/48 Yammies for 3-6 bucks each. At least well both be happy.

Dude, chill. I know it's been a while, but it's going to be okay.

I'm all about MACORSS.

Okay, fine, the -0A is supposed to be canon, although many would agree the colors are off. Ignoring canon/non-canon deal , which would you get? Is the stealth really the bee's knees in person? 419968[/snapback] The colors are off, only on the anime. But the colors Yamato is using are dead on.

From the choices you have selected, only the VF-1J Stealth is non-canon. The VF-OA next on Yamato's MZero list is very much canon. See the VF-0A thread for details. So I guess you only choice would be the Stealth.
