vf-31 siegfried WIP: Alternate Weapons Pods for VF-31
Sanity is Optional replied to Sanity is Optional's topic in The Workshop!
You're right, I'd completely forgotten about that. -
I need to take a second crack at the Wing Zero, probably going to leave it in bird mode, since that's a different stand adapter, which looks much more solid. I am not regretting the Gipsy Danger at all, I'm amazed the thing's not sold out.
-
It's still available, if you've got a spare kidney.
-
Well, I've only got a potato-phone, but here's some photos. The stand for the Wing Zero, it disappoints me, the darn thing keeps canting off to one side between the stand and the crotch-attachment. The details and gimmicks, however, are pretty awesome. But seriously, the stand attachment needs to be WAY more solid for something with that much hardware hanging off of it. The Gipsy Danger rocks, though the armor and design restricts the articulation a bit, especially the shoulders and waist. It's HEAVY, lots of metal. Pretty much everything from the knees to the waist pivot is steel.
-
This showed up out of the blue, never even got a notification it'd been shipped. I'll put up some actual pictures tonight, along with the DX Chogokin Gipsy Danger and RS Gipsy Avenger that are apparently waiting at my door.
-
I'll be honest, if it wasn't for the armored pack, I'd probably skip it. Sure I could put that on Chucks (if/when they come out with it), but then I couldn't have the dish.

Well, Bandai makes a bunch of 1/60 scale stuff, for sci-fi series. PG Gundams, the new Full Metal Panic kits, Patlabor. Kotobukiya's FMP kits are also 1/60 for that matter.
-
The Bandai, Yamato, and Arcadia Macross figures are 1/60 scale (And Bandai's HM/HMR line is ~1/100). The Bandai kits are 1/72.

So, looking at my 2 VE-1s, the nubs on this thing are atrocious. Had to spend a good 10minutes with a hobby knife cutting them all flush, and trying to hide the gouges and stress marks left from manufacture. Never seen a HMR this bad, and I've got Max&Milia, Messer, Missile Regults, Glaug, Spartan, Defender, VF-2SS, and an old HM Roy.

No problem. I'll remove the option for Strong+Flexible from those parts once I get home tonight. -

Yeah, I got an email about it. The issue is the front (sharp) end of the two shell pieces. I can either bulk it up, and you'll have to shave it sharp, or you can print in FUD/FED. I personally printed mine in FED, since there's some detail I added to the body, and the cost of FUD vs FED is pretty close. -
I thought I was going to stop after a couple valks. Now I have 20 (just in 1/60 scale), plus the macross quarter and SDF-1, plus a bunch of Hi-Metals.
-
I've shipped a couple items by boat. Banzai Hobby sale stuff (HiRM Wing Zero, couple Hasegawa Macross kits), and a PG from Nippon Yasan that was on significant sale. All arrived at about 2.5months later, condition was just fine.
-
Picked mine up from the post office on Monday, and the answer is yes. Need at least 1 more (than Milia and Roy) so I can have all 3 modes displayed.
-
Given that they only released armored packs for the VF-25 Alto and Ozma, and tornado only for Alto and Michael, I imagine it'll be the same here.

Arad's VF-31 also comes with the reaction missiles as part of the base set, so at least you're getting more for that 1,000yen extra.
-
Why yes, it appears it will. Awesome, less and less regret over skipping the 31J Kai every day.
-
I only saw Roy and Hikaru, where did you order from?
-
It's a lot different than my Gimix VF-31 to say the least.
-
Yeah, and that's not even counting renting a storage space to keep the box.
-
Hear Hear!
-
Oh, I have no doubt it'll be painted in the premium version. I'm just ticked the sticker they gave for the normal version doesn't fit.
-
There was, but it doesn't fit. It's the big dark L-shaped one.
-
Well, they're replacing all the stickers, so at least they'll be painting in the backdrop behind the city. If they actually throw some paint apps on the buildings themselves though... That'd be awesome.
