Sorry for not updating it... I did finish it; however, the WIP photos i took while doing the model were deleted from my old phone... and then I never updated it... Sorry for all those interested! It was a very nice build... here are pics I took earlier this year.... perhaps when I have free time I will take better shots of it on its own

I'm interested in using this technique, but am baffled about the correct way to go about doing it... I tried it a couple times, but each time the top color just completely covers the "pre-shading" variance... does it work better with lacquers, or acrylic? or do I just have to thin the heck out of the top base coat color? Any help/step-by-step would be much appreciated!
-
Wait a minute... For a minute there i thought i was on tfw2005 and not macrossworld :P .... jokes aside, that looks really awesome! I have yet been able to finish my kit... I only worked on the cockpit back in december, and haven't touched it since
-
I'd be interested in this "B" sheet... I've been wondering if I should just frisket film trace and mask the skull, apollo, and un spacy logo... but decals would be so much easier... once you set up a price I'd like to know

I received my vf-1 today. Very excited! Opened it up, and looked at the runners, and quickly put it in storage before my wife could see it, hahahahaha. Just kidding, I don't have a wife... I had to hide it from my girlfriend... just kidding, she walked in the house as I was trying to hide it.... I dunno why, but it seems more glorious than when I saw it at Yellow Submarine in Akihabara, my GF agreed as well... perhaps cos it is mine, and not just something to gawk at. Hopefully I can work on it during my Xmas break (a perk of being a teacher I suppose)

Hey tekering, glad you are warming up to the kit. With your initial assessment of the vf-1 it got me to second guess my purchase, but the more I looked at the initial photos you posted it actually made me more excited for it... esp seeing the runner for the figure... can't wait to see how you paint yours! I may paint it white, and then give it the ol' Kakizaki green markings (only cos green is my favorite color). Now to wait patiently for CDJ to ship the thing...
-
I was just charged right now. Paid for it... It stings a little, but then again I make sure I have money for things I need before I buy things I want Question: how much paint do you think will be needed on this? What are your guys/gals preferred paint brands? I usually build/paint 1/100 macross kits, 1/35 military kits, or anime/custom figures. I used to solely use Vallejo paints, but a local shop stocks Gaia Notes, and Mr Color, so I've been using those, and will likely use that on this kit
-
So, I'm back in the US without a second vf-1 (didn't have the money or space in my suitcase for this monster, or maybe I'm not hardcore enough)... will have to wait for CDJ to ship/upcharge shipping Anywho, I got to see the model in box (and in box with a box) at Yellow Submarine in Akihabara's Radio Kaiken... It's big.... it's heavy... I was giddy... it made me really wish I had brought another suitcase. I got all my model supplies ready
-
I have yet to see the VF-1 at any shops here in Tokyo (amiami, yellow submarine, volks, yodabashi, etc) ... perhaps today will be the day! Also, it's a bit funny to see that unboxing thread on twitter... a slight chortle was expressed
-
I wonder if Hobby Search shipping estimator would work https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/ems EMS for 11.2KG is $146 Possibly... possibly :P
-
Woo! According to the Goodsmile website the vf-1 will be released on the 21st of November https://www.goodsmile.info/en/post/4788/Release+Dates+and+Changes+for+November+2018+Products.html Two days after I arrive in Japan! ...Sadly I had preordered this monster on CDJapan (well, not too sad cos the price was just too good)
-
The kit is now delayed to October... as per Goodsmile news: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/post/4771/Release+Dates+and+Changes+for+September+2018+Products+Scale+Figure+Delay+Apology.html and product page: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/7226/PLAMAX+MF+25+minimum+factory+VF+1+Super+Strike+Gerwalk+Valkyrie.html I'm a bit bummed about the delay; however, I guessed it would happen... Goodsmile has been delaying quite a few of their releases as of late... maybe they produce too much for their own good? :P
-
Goodsmile has listed this for release in Jan 2019 Amiami: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-041875 Now if only they would release Figma versions of all the SDF characters... and Plus as well :P

That sucks that that happened... Amazon will likely do a refund just talk to one of the reps on an online chat, and they should refund, and maybe ship it BUT... the main reason I am posting this is to tell you to delete your third picture... it has your address visible!

I couldn't help but order 2 vt-1's from amiami.... but display options got the best of me... here's to hoping my girlfriend doesn't give me an earful
