    Look good so far. Can't wait to print it out, downscaled a bit. Also found out that apparently Macs have built-in STL previews in the finder (explorer) windows. One question, I guess: what's the largest part? As a baseline for setting the scale to fit my resin print volume

    Thanks for splitting them up, that'll do the trick. Now I just need to wait until I can buy isopropyl again for cleaning prints.

    In this case, it's probably outgassing from the plastic (including the clamshell) in a sealed space, plus the temperature spikes that did it.

    I can vouch for Mandarake. So can the thousands of my $$ they've pried away over the years.

    The Arcadia PF SDF-1 is quite the piece to restart a collection with.

    Just wondering, any chance you could export the files as parasolid (x_b, x_t), STEP (stp, step), or IGES (iges)? I wanted to chop the files up into individual parts for my resin printer, but my CAD package is an engineering one and doesn't like working on STL files.

    It was something about putting plastic shims along the inside of the tornado parts where they contact the underside of the wings, right?

    Just painting them with some Liquid Chrome would do the trick.

    You! Tonight!

    Will Wheaton looks so different now compared to how he did on TNG they could just cast him as someone else entirely.

    Well, color stripe, extra gun, and extra leg armor for holding said gun.
  12. Sanity is Optional
    Ok, good to hear. Wether or not I buy one is pretty much dictated by if there's any updates, as I already have a Roy 1S.
  13. Sanity is Optional
    Looks like the 1J is available for pre-order now. Also looks like the additional thigh joints are now gone, going by the promo images.

    I'm just missing one from Macross, the Hikaru VF-1S. Got all the rest, plus a few doubles. Mainly I just bought everything else as it came out starting with Max+Milia, and only bought things before that I really wanted (Monster, Glaug, Regult, Armored 1J, and Fokker 1S) plus a Hikaru 1J and CF 1A for putting Fext armor on. Ended up that the 1S was the only one I didn't get at release which I don't want enough to pay the aftermarket prices.

    I recall that as well, I think I'll skip these until I get a Shin F-14
  16. Sanity is Optional
    Man, it's a shame. Got mine in just before this, and it's a great showpiece (even if it's more of a model kit than a figure by weight/durability).
  17. Sanity is Optional
    Looks like $30-$40 based on prices at Mandarake and Yahoo Japan.
  18. Sanity is Optional
    I'd start by pushing the pin out. Once the broken piece is separated it ought to be possible to glue back together more securely without having to worry about freezing the joint.

    Calibre Wings has their own site, there's also Flying Mule. Neither has these listed yet.

    Thanks, I'm pretty happy with it. One thing I'll suggest is any small decals that go over non-flat locations (on the VF-27 it was the diamonds on the intakes/thighs) are better done via paint than decals. Those particular decals practically disintegrated with how much micro-sol/micro-set it took to get them to conform, and one of them was actually replaced with a sticker due to the damage.
  21. Sanity is Optional
    Sure, I did a full build-log for the VF-27 (topcoat+decals+panel lining). WIP 1 WIP 2 WIP 3 WIP 4 So many decals WIP 5 Finished
  22. Sanity is Optional
    I've built a few Bandai 1/72 variable kits with just lining (VF-21, SV-262, RVF-25), and one with full lining+decals+flat coat (VF-27).
  23. Sanity is Optional
    The aftermarket prices for that one are nuts, but it's not a limited edition so it will restock eventually if you wait.
  24. Sanity is Optional
    Right about now I'm super glad I got 4 superpacks from the first batch through a proxy.
  25. Sanity is Optional
    The VF-25 and VF-31 (and the VF-27 and SV-262) have the advantage of being based on CG models, unlike the hand-drawn images of the VF-1, VF/YF-19, and YF-21/VF-22.
