    Yes please? Hopefully they're also doing a YF-19 to go along with, one which is improved from their VF-19 Hi Metals.

    I'd suggest something thinner like silk or a fabric with similar thickness/flexibility. Canvas or felt never looks right when used for something of that scale, with how huge the folds and wrinkles are relative.

    Ok, the 1:60s ought to be showing up now. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/questionably-sane-models I'll upload the raw STL files a bit later tonight to an imagehost somewhere.

    I am amazed, just got shipping notice for my missile Regults, about a week before NY's estimated release date. Usually it's like 1-2weeks after the release date with them.

    https://www.shapeways.com/shops/questionably-sane-models It's not even midnight on Sunday, that's like 2 hours earlier than I'd planned. [edit] Made a shop just to make it easier to find everything, there's no markup on any of the parts.

    In order from least sturdy to most: VF-25, VF-27, VF-31. It's much better, pretty much everything tabs solidly into place. The stickers/decals are a nightmare, but that's normal for a transforming plastic model, especially with the pinstriping on the 31s.

    I think he's more talking about the possibility they strip paint.

    I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of any of the mods I've seen that have the missiles pointing out from the break in the weapon pod.

    1/60 articulated and 1/72 fixed.

    Alright, going to try and get the last kinks worked out of the CAD files and upload them/make everything available this weekend.
  12. Sanity is Optional
    No problem then, you want me to send you the files, or just put em up on Shapeways?
  13. Sanity is Optional
    If you want a fixed-pose piece, it's as easy as pushing the scale button. If it needs to articulate and fit in the 1/72 kit properly it'll take a bit longer to check the sizing, re-do the hinges, and check fit.

    Looking great, can't wait to see it finished and painted.
  15. Sanity is Optional
    Pretty much the whole reason I'm doing this, having no other options than the drone charger on the VF-31a really bugged me.
  16. Sanity is Optional
    Yup, the ones in the lower-right on this post: They collapse in to store, and then extend out after the pod is deployed.

    I'm noodling over how to handle the cannons next, how do people feel about them being spring-loaded? (Obviously you could assemble without.) It seems like it's be easier than having stuff click into position, which is tough to get the tolerances right for.
  18. Sanity is Optional
    Not necessarily available in small quantities, but I suggest McMaster Carr. Fortunately they tend to be fairly cheap.
  19. Sanity is Optional
    Yeah, that's up next, ought to be pretty easy, just need to figure out if I want it to mount grip up, or grip down on the hardpoint.
  20. Sanity is Optional
    I hope they do, but the transformation mechanism might be a bit complex with how small the arms connecting the cockpit to the main body would be in that scale. They'd pretty much have to make the entire part out of metal.

    Got the parts, most are good but I've got a few small issues to fix. The Acrylate doors need to have the hinge pin holes drilled out (with a 0.5mm drill bit...), also slightly bent and a bunch of nubs that need cleaning, probably will just reprint in FUD. There was also an interference I missed the first time around on the body shell, so need to update the model. I'm not going to reprint that, just shaved the conflicting area. On the plus side everything else is looking good and fits nicely, even snaps onto the DX just fine and slots/deploys in fighter mode. Once it's up I suggest printing everything in FUD or FED. Acrylate seems to need some work: drilling, de-nubbing, and some bending to straighten. Full Imgur Album

    Fighter: YF-19, clean without packs. Gerwalk: VF-1 Strike. [edit] Also Koenig Monster. Battroid: VF-25 Luca Super.

    Nippon Yasan just sent notice the release date of the Regult Missile set is now the 25th. Knowing NY, I'm betting it doesn't ship till February...
  24. Sanity is Optional
    Left side, definitely. The Kai has a slightly deeper blue in all the images I've seen comparing them.
  25. Sanity is Optional
    Nice analysis, I was thinking it might be based off a model with added detail by hand, or possibly "tracing".
