    Have you considered making a clip tha would reach down from the center of the claw to the backpack. This would be able to take on the load for the entire arm and might require less work and give you better streamlines attributes over installing magnets on the claws.

    Cute build! It came out great!

    Good catch on positioning the thrusters correctly. The instructions show one on top and two on the bottom in GERWALK mode. Also you might just be able to trim the original thruster plate as long as you set it in the correct orientation first then trim to fit. nice job on the antenna. You build is looking really good.

    A couple of years ago my 5-year old son won this as a pachinko/raffle prize. While it has never been opened it still looks pretty cool. The set is the Fighter and Battroid which of course can be parts formed into Gerwalk. To date I never bought one, but my first impression of this was that it was nice to pick up but not the retail prices for such a tiny VF. Shame though this truly a great scale VF.

    “It beginning to look a lot like Christmas.” That SDF-1 looks so festive. Love it!

    Good one.

    Agreed. There is always a surprise stash that appears at or around the release date. Good luck to those who haven’t secured one yet.

    So looking forward to your build. Sorry I have nothing to offer to translate anything on the instruction sheet, but rest assured you don’t really need to read it. Take your time go through the instructions, dry fit for before paint, clean it, paint, and assemble. Share progress pics.

    Did this line die? I was really liking the size and possibilities for this line. The scale was just right and the details are amazing.

    Good thing I was fortunate enough to get one during PO madness. Makes me feel bad for those who missed out.
  11. nightmareB4macross
    Is NY increasing the price even further?
  12. nightmareB4macross
    As many as you would like. I’m ichtingnfornthis PO already.

    The design choices are interesting. With regards to the backpack, wasn’t it Kawamori who redesigned it in this fashion? One odd thing about the backpack besides the obvious is the small trapezoid it connects to. The part seems to stretch. It doesn’t appear to raise like a plate or any previous versions of it. Either way the kit is very impressive. Tekering, thanks for sharing these pictures with the rest of us.

    From previous post yes tha quality is subpar given that parts do not mate well, plastic feels cheap, and breakage is imminent. But what I would like to know is about the shoulders. Has anyone experienced any breakage the shoulders? Are these the updated versions?

    Same here. Makes for a nice way to start the new year.

    Well played. Well played indeed.

    Yamato ddI a really good job on these. Congratulations on your recent acquisition.

    The heads appear to be molded to this flanges. This is an easier way to mate the flange to the lower part of the fuselage and maintains a streamlined bottom while keeping costs down.

    Like most there are only a few that I would definitely want: -VF-1J Hikaru TV -VF-1S Super Hikaru TV -VF-1A CF TV -VF-1D TV -VF-1S Strike Hikaru DYRL -VE-1 ElintSeeker -VT-1 SuperOstrich and GBP-1 Armour TV Beyond this list I have no interest for anything else. I hope this line is a success for Bandai and we get more than just a handful of varietal VFs.

    Can’t wait for next month!
  21. nightmareB4macross
    Love it.
  22. nightmareB4macross
    One day. One day soon, I hope. I’m just happy we are still getting a new VF-1.

    Calm down no one is challenging your professional prowess. Plastic is the most cost effective solution to make the plates work properly ala the 1/72 Bandai. Was it effective not by any stretch, but It was the first iteration of actual moving plates and could have been made better moving forward with fhe DX. While you state steel is better sure it is, but practical not likely. And steel does fatigue as you so pointed out. From a practical and manufacturing and innovative standpoint the plates would have been ideal. All that is needed is the legs to secure properly in any form B/G/F. If Bandai had given it more thought an progressed with the design I am confident an adequate rendition could have been achieved. Note: I also built the 1/72 kit, if you hadn’t noticed from building the transformation sequence is also unique and nothing like Yamato’s or Takatoku’s previous designs.

    Doesn’t have to be metal. That is sometimes the worst material to select for intricate parts such as these. There are extremely durable plastics that would do the job without issue.
  25. nightmareB4macross
    I understand that, I just don’t understand why Bandai would have gone backwards when they already developed a far better system with the swing plates. Oh well, it is what it is.
