pretty simple looking decals on the one I just unpacked so hopefully its straight forward to do.

Very VERY tempted to try repainting a GiMix VF-31A now...

You can get 1/72 naval crew figures off Shapeways too...

Decalling done... what a fun nightmare!! Just some detailing and matt coat to go.

Repainting a gimix 1/144 brownie into a pukin dogs fighter.

got that ordered. Is it a sign of issues that I have atleast one of all those kits on the cover

yep... including a little of mine...

Don't ya just feel bad for that poor guy waiting for his robotech tactics stuff to arrive... little did he know back then what a joke that turned into

No i like the big fat missiles. I just meant to an earlier comment that you can't have them double stacked.

Shapeways ship worldwide. I get all my missiles and pilot figures from them to new zealand

Oh and a section for the power cell to power the guidance system , control vanes or verniers and the cryogenics for the seeker.

Wouldn' be enough room. Given how fat those missiles are they look like they should take up the whole width of the pod for something that has a guidance head, warhead centre and drive motor rear per missile.

this past week its been the 25th anni vf before hitting the 35th this week. The nightmare of decaling pinstripes! Yeah I know I do things backwards from the norm, I paint the airframe, decal it, detail and wash it... The blue used is a Tamiya fine primer - Alclad II Gloss Black Base - Alclad II Chrome - Alclad II Candy Blue. Then it will be sealed in Alclad II Gloss Klear Kote then detailed, washed and matted down. Shown is the pilot I'm using in the display from Shapeways printed in the new Black High Definition Acrylate - That material is AMAZING!!

Some kind of plastic. Its pretty crisp in the detailing and has tiny tabs and slots to lock it all together. I'm really surprised at just how simply they assembled and how solid it all is. not bad for $15

The Hasegawa 1/72 35th anniversary VF-1 is out now and started shipping as of last night.

Anyone with a gimix vf1 in battroid mode, even broken, want to swap for a 1/72 hasegawa f/a18 kit, unbuilt with no decals, and a brand new in the bag vf19 master file, yell out. I need the left front shoulder cover. New kit had two rights!!!

Thanks... and no tragically Nora and her SV met an ugly demise... reworked my candy technique though so a MkII minus the rippling issues and shadowing problems I had the first time have been eliminated. Next candy VF off the ranks is the 30th Anniversary VF-1 and VF-19. Started assembling them this evening.

And some work on the 1/144 stuff

Loving the VF2ss

Another couple of cases upgraded

Another angle on the display background replacements

1/72 as well? ... please?

Arm guns, Head guns, those pod beam cannons... that should be MORE than enough. Failing that run the gunpods under the wings like the older VF's did
