Quick, someone photoshop a wallet over the Zentradi ship.
-
What issues did NY give you? Slow shipping? -
With proportions like that, those better be gatchapon toys.
-
RVF-171 from Jungle showed up, and got a surprise delivery from the Ferry fairy with some model kits.

vf-31 siegfried WIP: Alternate Weapons Pods for VF-31
Sanity is Optional replied to Sanity is Optional's topic in The Workshop!
That looks amazing, nice work. -
Pretty much my take on it. To get decals to replace all the stickers, apply them, get them looking nice with microsol, and then topcoat the entire kit would be a couple days of work.
-
That works for decals, these are stickers, which you just can't get looking good due to the thickness.
-
Ah, thank god. That really helps pose the one I have with the bad knee joints, with the stand I can actually have it standing.
-
I wish the missile set came with the stands.
-
Good luck with the YF-21, the only 1/60 of it is old Yamato, and costs around $350 (or more) right now.
-
Yamato SDF-1 price, no idea, there's still Arcadia ones NIB for sale in retail stores, may want to wait until those aren't competing. 31J, someone's selling theirs for $220 right now on this board. Sv-262, the retail seems to be around ¥17000-¥19000, and used ones are on Mandarake for ¥14000-¥17000 No idea on the HMR VF-1s. Just saw 3 Regults go for $75 each on this board, shipping incl.
-
Decals on the Nora are going to be murder.
-
Nice, so far I think the Glaug is my favorite of the HMR kits, honestly. (VF-1, Glaug, Missile Regults, Defender, Spartan, VF-2SS). They're doing a bang-up job on the non-transforming kits overall.
-
Well, for one thing the MSRP is 4,000yen higher than the non-premium 0S (34,800 vs 38,800), and according to the description the sticker sheet is entirely gone, replaced with paint and tampo. Also, the second-hand VF-0S are going for about 40,000-50,000yen, so it's a competitive price in that sense.
-
Standard technique when using epoxy to form things, you use fill to change the material properties, ought to work with resin as well?
-
You could try mixing some glass fibers into the resin when you mould it, ought to give it a bit more tensile strength.
-
Well, all of those ship internationally, but they do have close to Japanese retail prices.
-
I have a Glaug, it's great and very well made. The leg joints are nice and stiff or ratcheted.
-
I think they just look at the greymarket prices for things, and decide to print whatever's most expensive. VF-1 Max/Miria SDF SV-51 VF-0S [edit] Well, doesn't make as much sense for the SV-51, but the rest it does.
-
Well, someone bought them, they're both gone now.
-
Since everyone I see reporting it has it on only one of their 2, and it even seems to be the same one, I suspect it's a manufacturing issue.
-
I did not get one. I thought about it last night when I got the email, but decided not to.
-
...Aaaaand the Hikaru is already sold out.
-
One of mine, I think the light missile one, has a weak left-knee as well. Can't even stand up, has to crouch.
-
Looks like NY is claiming ¥44,540 with SAL shipping. Throws money at screen
