Many, many thanks. My local library does resin printing, so I’ll see what the results are!
-
My local library has a printer, I’ll get this over to them. Are both included in the file?
-
Awesome.

Any luck @Chronocidal?

Wow… let me just say something: not long ago I was awake at oh-dark-thirty with six browser tabs open, credit card locked and loaded, to wait for the 10-second preorder window for, say, the YF-19 Full Set Pack or the VF-31C. I’d pay then pay about $35 or so more for EMS shipping, wait six months or more for the thing to be produced, and hope to hell I didn’t get Bandai’ed because repairs were impossible and returns were so expensive it wouldn’t be worth doing. But now, if I order within 90 minutes, I can get a DX VF-31AX delivered to my house with free shipping. TODAY. ON SALE. EASILY RETURNED. Much has gone wrong in this timeline, but THIS much has gone very, very right.

That’d be awesome. Many thanks.

Hi all. I have a 1/60 Yamato VF-11B that’s missing one of the intake covers. A couple years ago I took it out of the box, pulled out the covers to display it in an atmospheric mode and one of them ejected itself onto my basement floor. You’d think I’d have found it due to the floor being concrete, but no. Damn continuity elves. So if someone here with a golden heart and a 3D printer could help, I’d truly appreciate it. If you don’t have a Thunderbolt of your own, that’s OK, if you’ve got a positive, long-term rep on this forum I’ll loan you mine for measure/fitment. And while I'm here, I’d also appreciate a clip to hold the RVF-171EX gunpod on to one of its wing hardpoints. It’s always struck me as odd that Bandai included the pod, but there’s no way to store it in Fighter mode. Many, many thanks.

Landing gear looks odd. The front gear has a hinge in the strut but looks like it stows perfectly straight, so what’s it for? Main gear too, pics say it rotates 90 degrees but it seems to stow in the same orientation as when it’s extended. Why? EDIT: seems the main gear rotates 180 to extend. Wow. That’s… a choice.

That was a Yeti product, 3D printed by him.
-
I, too, would like these please.
-
Calibre got a Cease and Desist from Big West, so I’m not surprised.
-
Just noticed: still no reaction or MDE missiles in this pack.
-
An unexpected surprise, but a welcome one. Digging the new tampo and matte finish.
-
The good: dem legs, LOTS of details molded in, probably clever engineering, I like the shade of blue The bad: this looks like fighter mode will be sacrificed to Battroid mode. Lately Bandai can’t manage to actually build its clever engineering to be reliable. You didn’t like the YF-19’s extra tampo? Here’s much, much MOAR! The ugly: that torso is deeper than Maime Van Doren’s. Backpack must be hiding many sins. Of all the extra tampo, I particularly hate the hip skirts’ the most. Looks totally out of place.

Welcome back @ChaoticYeti!! RIP your inbox! Thanks also for giving your blessing to Archi. All the stands and adapters I bought from you are good as the day I received them. Great work!!
-
I’ve never used the attack eggs. I've used the missiles on my 19, my 171, my 31C, 31AX…
-
Even if they make the YF-21, I’m not looking forward to it. The proportions of the prototype were wonky, and the chance of getting Bandai’d on a production copy are too damn high.
-
Apologies, but this forum gets the most attention… If you live in Japan currently, I need a big favor. No money involved, but I need some footwork done on my behalf. PM if you feel like helping me out, and many thanks!!

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Sildani replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
The wing has almost no ability to sweep with the dual RMS rack on the inboard pylon, FWIW. Might be a parking/handling issue as well. -
I really think the two slots are it. Hazard markings, pointed the right direction, have the grey paint patches to represent natural metal.
-
Yeti hasn’t been responsive for a couple years now… I suspect he’s moved on to something else.
-
He has one new bit Yeti didn’t: a long acrylic arc that can hold two Valkyries in formation, with a choice of three angles at the “bottom” of the arc to choose an angle to set them all at.
-
Wow, that’s actually nice.

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Sildani replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
Here’s a question. The new Valkyries from the VF-24 on are using electromagnetic tracks to handle transformation to speed the process up and reduce maintenance. Once the pieces are where they’re supposed to go, are mechanical means still used to lock them in place, or is there a more permanent electromagnet used to hold them down? -
Thanks for that!
