Stil waiting for my VF-4, but at least the Glaug came in. Didn't imagine it is that big, that will be my favorite HM-R from now on, love it! By the way, is this Macross or Battletech? After all these scale discussions concerning HM-R: The Glaug matches perfectly to my 1/60 scale Madcat

Yes very bad girl you are! But to be honest looking at your haul I wish I had been that bad, too. No Macross toy came in for me this month. Being reasonable can make you really, really sad . Enjoy your Valks -
Mine took off from NY today. So only a few more days to go. Patience is so damn boring!
-
Yeah, same for my one at NY.
-
My thought, too. First I planned to use it in battroid mode along with the girl. But now I placed it in fighter mode next to the Nexx' HMR. Cat girl has to find something else to play with.
-
Yes, lots of. For the tiger scheme I used a whole sheet by printing a scan of the master file illustration and cutting it out. But it was worth concerning the result.

Finally I came to a decision how to paint my Kairos: NUNS squadron SVF-96 "The Caltrops" form the VF-31 Master File book. Had some hard times during the past days while struggling with defects in color and panel lining horrors. But today it was done at last! And in the end I'm happy with the result . The squadrons sort of tiger paint scheme matches well with the cat girl. I used more saturated colors as shown in the master file book as the color of my girl is already intense. Unfortunately there is a lot of disassembly when transforming the valk. I did it now once for the following pictures. But by now the Kairos will stay in fighter mode to avoid paint chipping. Although the model does not entirely match the line art of the master file book I think Aoshima did a good job concerning proportions and fitting accuracy. Although, what I really hate about the kit is that you can not detach the gunpod and use it with the girl. But hey, now it's done and overall it was fun to build. Fighter mode: Gerwalk mode: Battroid mode: Size comparison in fighter mode (from left to right: Bandai VF-25 1/100 kit, Aoshima V.S.G. VF-31A, HMR Valkyrie II):

Wow, well done. That's a lot of detailing and weathering. Paint job looks fantastic, especially after having those issues with the paint coming off
-
I love the look of Mirages' 31C with its supers on. As I skip on the armor (let's see how long I really can resist ) I found her at least a double fed gatling gun :
-
I pass on it, too. To me it's a bit over the top. My favorite weapons/armor pack is still the Tornado pack on the VF-25. Two big guns and rockets but still a sleek silhouette.
-
I don't think you have to worry about an ecchi look concerning those Aoshima kits, especially if you do a body suit. Although focus is definitely on the upper levels . But a while ago I ran into this issue with a chinese Frame Arms Girl knock-off where I had to remove the ecchi-ness from the said area when I applied a bike suit
-
They should include different bust sizes for exchange
-
From head to tow the figure is 15 cm / 5.9" tall. In reality that would be: 1/12 scale: 1.80 m / 5'9" 1/10 scale: 1.50 m / 4'9" I tend to say she is more 1/10 scale concering here to be an anime girl.
-
Although I planned to start with the fighter I ended up in finishing catgirl first. Concerning her I had the color concept in mind and kept to my idea of giving her a complete bodysuit. For now, as you can see below, we're still in discussions about the color variant of her VF-31A:
-
You don‘t know whether the other stores will come up with cancellations?!
-
Is this developing to a desaster like the NY VF-31A issue?
-
Great work! Love that color scheme on the VF-25. Can't help, the 25 is still my favorite Valk.
-
Won‘t go for the higher prices. Now I gonna wait until official release date.
-
Me too
-
Luckily I placed my PO for the VF-31A at CDJ. But right after this in the end of 2017 I placed almost all POs (and ordinary orders) at NY. Until now I had not any issues like those with the VF-31A. Means I gonna stick with NY concerning POs also in the future.

Nice surprise as I came home from work today: My second M9 Gernsback arrived all along with another shipment of hobby related garments
-
I'll give my cat-girl a complete bodysuit. I have an idea about the colors, but final decision will be made when the fighter is done. For the Kairos I definitely use a N.U.N.S paint scheme out of the Master File book as the kit comes with the logo decals shown there.

I gonna keep my PO for the Crossbone, but I think it will be my last MB Gundam for a while. Definitely will get all Full Metal Panic MBs. And I can't help it, the M9 is becoming more and more my favorite Mecha design of the series. Just like what happened with the VF-31 - Now I'm more into the Kairos then the other variants. Besides, still waiting for my second M9, but here's a quick hanger setup:
