If your looking to remove the white residue that is produced from using "Crazy" glue, then I think you might have to wet sand the area with 1200 or higher grit sand paper. After you are done sanding then you can use the polisher to smooth the surface even further and produce and nice smooth appearance. Beware, this only applies well the WHITE (and I mean WHITE, not off-white, not close to white, but WHITE) valkyries. If the valk is slightly yellowed then you will end up with an unsightly bright spot. Or unless, your looking to paint it the option is yours, restore or custom. Hope this helps. NB4M

...and here is the direct link. for the polishing tools.

Nice Job!!! I like the three variations shown like that. All you need now is a Gerwalk/Valkyrie and you'll have the old imai kits that came with the four varaitions of the VF transformations. Except, yours will be much better. Now how about some close-ups??

Have you ever tried using a polishing wheel attached to a Dremel?

Got Pics?

My condolences to you, NB4M. Well, I am not coming either since the flights I want are not there for the price I want but another problem propped up medical wise for me. Not to bring this thread down further... I would like to go and bring my Blue Angels 1/48 to enter. Hope to see the pictures when I am sitting in the hospital or at home. Thanks, everyone. Godzilla, I hope it's not too serious. Get better soon. NB4M

I know this isn't lineart but it can help with the cockpit paint details.

RW-1 The first post in this thread has a parts list scanned from the Yamato intruction manual.

Hey don't knock this toy. It is actually pretty cool. It comes with FAST armour molded on to it. I have this exact same one. It was given to me as a gift, and yes for a transaction on e-bay.

Jarowar, What on earth were you thinking???!!!??? You really should get RID of that monstrosity..... .......and send it my way. I swear I'll dispose of properly. Just kidding, looks good to me. Still, you do need larger pics.

Jenius, YGPM. NB4M ***Whadda' you know...500 posts. Has it really been 500, already?

Do you have any re-issues? Would you mind trying the taka arm armour on a re-issue?

Jenius, Does the armor of the Taka VF-1S Super fit on the Bandai Re-issues? I wondering mainly about the arm armour. If you can, please post pics with Taka armour on a Re-issue. Thanks, Alex ***Or is the grey Fokker on the right a Re-issue?

the power of a detolf! nice fockers, but where is the 1/55 chunky monkey? I think it's right underneath the MPC. See right underneath the MPC's feet, through the gals shelf.

Nice Collection, LocoMacross.

Well this article doesn't seem to apply to the U.S. Trekkie (collector or whathaveyou) as these studies are based on crime scenes in Canada. In the U.S. we mostly have artists. For Example: MJ, Nelly, Roman Polanski, Woody Allen (very borderline)...

Thanks so much, I was going nuts trying to find pics of it. Do you happen to have pics of the 1/55 custom?

Nice job. Cheap and very effective.

How about this? Rosario Love Note: Prior to Daedelus attacking, the three protective barrier discs were used as a shield on the front of the Daedelus. The discs prevented any damaage to occur to the ship (arm, whatever) of the SDF-1 as it puched through the enemy vessel. Once the Daedelus had maximum reach, the discs were (either: set elsewhere) or removed to allow the D to open and have the destroids unleash their firepower within the enemy vessel.

Hi guys, I would have loved to make this year, it would have been my first. My father passed away Thursday @ 5:20pm, with that being said I will spend my day at the Bloomington Cemetery. He died at 65 of cancer and extreme conditions of diabetes. Sorry, if I brought down the thread, but I really wanted to meet my fellow members. Have fun everyone, NB4M

Awesome Custom!!! The style looks very familiar. I am pretty sure I have seen that custom in 1/55. I will try to locate the link for that picture.

You say that now, but wait 'til it actually is released. Succumb to the DARK SIDE, buy 1/48 GBP.

Here is the inspiration for some of the poses I submitted.

Last one for today...everyone get together and say, Sempai!!

No paint was used in the customizing of these valks. Only Vinyl tape was used to cover over the red marking of the average, VF-1A Reissues.
