That's a nice idea eugimon. I may just try that out. I think I'll end up shaving the rectangular peg down on the shield. Since I find the two arms are kind of hard to separate when transforming it from fighter to gerwalk mode. ***EDIT*** Okay... I measured the rectangular peg on the shield and its about seven (7) and 1 1/2 mm big. The shell port is about five (5) and just barely 1 1/2 mm big.

Nice render. Looking forward to seeing the finished model.

Here you go... http://www.starshipmodeler.com/basics/lj_vinyl.htm Scroll somewhere near the bottom of the page. The author talks about priming and painting.

Nice... Look alot better than I thought.

Not in its own respectable thread... http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...22566&st=60

Yea. If you've dealt with them for that long the prior was probably not the case, since they're helping you with the parts.

Blah... I tried googling "HobbyWorld" and got a bunch of sites. Too many to choose from. Yea I agree with DND... I would always go with a reliable seller especially if I'm spending that much money.

WOWWY!!!!! IT'S NIICE~!!! (/borat). Woah... that goes to show you can either spend your time working to save up for a yamato VF-0S or you can go make your own out of a couple of hasegawa kits! lololol.

Damn that sucks... ychanus. who was the distributor you bought your product from? Maybe they did a swap or took parts out of your box?

I'm happy with my yamato products... so far. I've had no real issues where I can't play with them or transform them. My VF-0Shin is nice, so there's no problem there. My VF-0S had some excess glue on the head and some small stress marks on the shoulders, but that doesn't stop me from transforming him. I just loosen the shoulders and disassembled the thing, yanked on the head and scrapped away the excess glue... lol (yea it's not what some of you are thinking, even though it does!). I got spare head replacements parts (a couple sets of shoulders, heads) coming from HLJ. Yea I paid for them, but its only because I've had an extra VF-0S sitting in the box from BBTS and thought I should have the extra shoulders for future reference if I'm ever to open it! Hell when I get the spare heads in I'm going to take apart the one I currently have, fix it and maybe drop some LEDS or run up some fiber optic lighting and post a how to thread/reply here somewhere on the forums. I just paid for the parts like 15 minutes ago, so they should be here in about 2 or so weeks. I'm happy with my expensive Yamato toys. Toys are toys... they eventually break if you play with them too much. If they break right out of the box do what majority here would say: contact the distributor, then the company, if not then fix it yourself if you can. If you can't be successful on any of those then you're always going end up upset over it. If you don't want to be upset by any of it at all then stop playing with toys. I can guarantee you that you will be upset with something that you get or do in life. Me? I try fixing it instead of ranting about it and yea I may show a little disapproval/disappointment, but that won't stop me from trying to have fun with whatever I can get out of it. lol XD

Damn chimera15s! A little rough for my taste, but you got some nice work!

LOL... Yea I have that issue. Got it like two weeks ago, looked through it saw the picture of the VF-1A and it never occured to me... lol.

Congratz!!

Oh ... Really.....?

Damn those are some pretty nasty stress marks. Did your valk come in a nicely shipped box or was it crushed to hell (http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?s=&showtopic=22702&view=findpost&p=496158)? It looks like they mightve handled it poorly during assembly or maybe when they tried packing it into the plastic housing they ended up jamming it or smashing it in there. -=\ I've had a similar case with my 1st gen 1/60 YF-19, but mine was self inflicited because one of their workers decided to get glue happy (http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=21130&pid=495951&st=120entry495951). Hmm... I got one with the fast packs as well. I didn't open it, but I did check through the window of the box with a MAG flashlight and didn't notice any visble stress marks (like yours). -=\ Where did you get the 19 from (store, site, company)? I did notice something different about the FP 19. They did change (in that stress area you have highlighted) they decreased the corner into more of a curve where the fuselage splits. -=X

You should skim/read the whole thread (not just the first page) because it actually pertains to the YF-19 entirely. The thread contains the replies, links and fixes/modifications for more than just the gunpod.

Thanks for the response. -=]

Yea it's pretty nice... they could've used more frames to make the transformation a lil smoother lol or slowed it down. Yea I just hope they don't forget some of the tampos they show us in all of these pics and magazine reviews.

Yea... I was surprised too... BTW: Is this anime accurate or is it just mine? I also noticed that they don't have the "311" tampo print on theirs. Did they just throw something together (parts of different VF-0) for their picture? I'm probably going to do a custom paint job just to make it look nicer. Since I figured all the VF-0(s) have them.

yea official... This threads already been made yesterday -=X: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=22874

WOW! The 19 looks pretty hot! -=]***** ***EDIT*** And so does the VF-1 XD

Ahahahah Yang lol...

Hmm... I just noticed something on the ghost that came with the shin. The rivets that hold the wheels in on the rear landing gear were riveted down so much that the wheels don't spin. Has anyone noticed this yet?

Thanks swoosh.
