The problem with top coats is that I'm always afraid of them scratching when I'm transforming them - it does add a layer of fragility to the toy (either real or perceived).
-
Thanks David, its so nice to know someones got my back! Got my alarm set for Aug 1st 3am (EST)... Good luck to everyone though.
-
SAME HERE!!!
-
If anyone wants to sell me one of their many extra Ozmas MISB for MSRP - I'd be happy to skip the whole pre-order thing
-
Thats pretty crazy weathering! Too bad he left the black parts totally bare and new looking - kind of a amateurish job if ask me. Our MacrossJunkie would do better!
-
Best news I've heard in a while! About damn time Bandai!!! I hope we all secure a pre-order and there's enough to go around. My Armour packs are already weathered and matte clear coated all ready to go when this puppy finally arrives home.
-
YES!
-
Mine says "Preparation in Progress..." since Monday
-
I just use dishwashing soap and an old toothbrush. Doesn't seem to damage anything.
-
Yes! MORE TAMPO!!!
-
Thanks for starting this thread - this kit has really tempted me for a while now. I'll be following closely! Best of luck!
-
Yeah, I'm in with that "stand is awful" crowd. Really, what were they thinking?
-
Oooh, I'd definitely hope they release the grey low-viz version in the background as well.
-
Yes!
-
That's a pleasant surprise! I less step clear coating.
-
Well, I just hope they tampo more stuff on than the YF-19 - that was just too minimalist for the price of that toy. I guess I get spoiled by all the tampo Bandai puts on their stuff!
-
SAME HERE! I certainly hope so, but then again, my CF is always staying in its fighter mode as well, just transformed it once I first got it to see and now its back in its default mode (I can see stress/cracks, but still everything is intact. Funny, there were absolutely no stress/cracks after I transformed it the first time (even though I was specifically looking for them, they developed on their own after sitting in my glass display case motion-less). Luca will stay in its fighter mode as well, I do love that blade hanging down like Yukikaze.

Those are amazing photos Saburo, I'd love to learn what setup you use too. Is it a lightbox?
-
Ooh, that looks good. Hope it doesn't have the droopy neck that plagued the first generation VF-0s. At least I can have another Valk that looks decent sitting on its landing gears (unlike all the new Frontier planes that looks like the landing gears are just an after-thought).
-
I find that using a very sharp mechanical pencil (H2 or H4 hardness) with a ruler works really well in the really shallow panel lines, you can use your fingers to smudge some out if it got too dark. You'd need to clear-coat it to make it more permanent though.
-
Nice! I hope they are more consistently deeper than some of the ones on the YF-19.
-
And a release date too!!! https://variety.com/2014/film/news/pacific-rim-2-confirmed-for-april-7-2017-release-1201251654/ Woohoo!!! ... maybe now I'll be able to afford some more toys Hope there's no "Grown Ups 3" this time around...
-
From the pictures, it kind of looks like a sticker, the graphics span right across a panel line and you can't see the panel line underneath it which seems like a sticker instead of a tampo print. Could be just a prototype though. I prefer just the sharks mouth too.
-
The detail looks good, just wished the fan blades were sunk into the intakes a bit more, no reason why they had to have it right at the face with that big block of plastic below the fan blades. Arcadia doesn't seem to have much luck with intakes lately - the top lip of the YF-19 intakes is my biggest gripe.
-
Sorry, what is the SRW video?
