The VE-1 is fine. Nothing will be destroyed or modified. It will be a straight job through and through.

UPDATE - Pics and total count of all parts has been added to the main post. I would like to get the complete sets cast first, prior to taking on orders for bits and pieces. Full kits will take priority and partials will be done after. This is only because this is going to be a massive project. Parts will not be casted in whole. ALL parts will be done seperately, with EXCEPTION of the T-Shaped Radome to Backpack Connection Bridge. The part is either glued together inside or pressure fit, as I cannot take it apart without damaging the orginal three pieces. Cleaning will take place this week and hopefully setting molds will by this weekend. All interested parties please PM directly. Stay tuned and thanks.

Well at least you can always remember this when it comes to having sex... If your soon-to-be wife is in the mood, have her pull on it once. If she's not in the mod, then just have her pull on it 100 times. Congrats!!!

I finally got the parts today. I will conclude the total count of parts by the end of the week. Given that all the sets that have been casted previously were done in larger pieces to save time, this kit will have every single piece cast. I will get the total count of all the parts by Sunday. Stay tuned. NOTE: THANKS, you know who you are.

D-D-D-DAAAAAMMMMN!!! Awesome pics!! Love the customs you did for all the JMs, VF-1A Bootleg to CF, and the Jotun.

For the Con? Yeah I got it kinda figured out... 350773[/snapback] What the??? Winning the pot isn't enough!?!

Price is not completely determined at this point. Also the parts will be pressure casted for added tensile strength.

I hope you're still refering to modelling.

Excellent work on the paint scheme!!! What colors did you use?

Hey Kanata67, There is also a protoype available on e-bay. Prototype Swoop

That's what I said. Just take a look at my edited post. I should have the parts in hand this weekend. you mean VE-1. VT-1 is ostrich. 350628[/snapback]

There is a blue chested version of Swoop, made by Takara. I have seen it appear twice on Ebay at about $200.00+/USD.

It sure looks that way. I just hope there are metal rods casted inside the those really skinny chicken legs.

Thanks EXO, for bringing us back on topic. This thread is to guage interest ONLY FOR 1/55 VE-1 ELINTSEEKER CONVERSION KITS. On another note, I will hopefully have the rest of the original VE-1 parts in hand next week.

Geeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzz!!! Those are really nice.

What does color have to do with compatibility of attaching the FAST packs to the non-FAST pack version?? I'm confused. The colors for top/head are different blue vs. purple 348615[/snapback]

I think I'll wait until it's released. Still, I have to have at least one.

I think color would not be in option. It's too difficult to maintain color consistency of something this large.

Maybe it the large beast of a woman from the first "Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo" movie.

conversion kit would be the armor + parts required to convert a regular vf such as the wings, head, possibly the cockpit. 348518[/snapback] Your best bet would be a VF-1J reissue or a good ol' Jetfire. Either way this kit will work for both.

We all want it in 1/48, but I know there are people out there that would still love to have it in 1/55. The VE-1 ElintSeeker kit will entail as follows: 1. T-Connection Bridge from Radome to Boosters 2. Right Booster Antenna Node 3. Left Booster Antenna Node 4. Radome 5. Right Booster Left Half 6. Right Booster Right Half 7. Right Booster Tip 8. Right Booster Thruster Bell 9. Left Booster Left Half 10. Left Booster Right Half 11. Left Booster Tip 12. Left Booster Thruster Bell 13. Right Arm Electronic Equipment Left Half 14. Right Arm Electronic Equipment Right Half 15. Right Arm Electronic Equipment Arm Connection Point (I have to check is this is not part of the right or left half of this equipment. 16. Right Arm Electronic Equipment Rear Assembly 17. Head Rear Cover 18. Head Right Half 19. Head Left Half 20. Head Eye Sensor 21. Head To Neck Connector (located inside the head) 22. Neck To Shoulder Connector (this will ease swap of heads) 23. Right Leg Outer Fender 24. Left Leg Outer Fender 25. Top Right Leg Fender 26. Top Left Leg Fender 27. Right Leg Clip 28. Left Leg Clip 29-39 Left Arm Radar Attachment and Equipment (not sure of all the names of the pieces included here, but there are eleven in all). 40. Backpack 41. Right Wing 42. Left Wing 43. Cockpit Dual Seats 44. Heatshield I will be dismantling my Elint and Armour (also the pieces I hope to receive soon) to ensure the number of pieces. The list shown above is merely from memory. Let's just hope my memory still serves me well....

The blue Nikick and the OlsonII are the most expensive and difficult to obtain items. Once in a blue moon you'll see one, but usually at no less than $275.00 to start. I have the OlsonII, but would love to have a blue Nikick. Too bad there was never a Mass Production Type made in the same scale as these. They were only available in 1/60. Oh well, guess I'm just gonna have to make it myself.

Not at all. The kit will be straight forward just like the original.
