Ok. SO I found some time to do some additional decal work since I'm holding off the 'NO STLP' markings for now. I finished following all the decal instructions based on the manual. And so far, the inner leg and arm is so plain, so I decided to add a little bit from the unused decals and follow what I can (mostly the yellow arrestor hook and the lift markings) based on the Variable Fighter Master File mooks. Canopy. Added the Arrestor Hook marking. Head. Added Danger marking near the laser turrets. Both Legs. Added Arrestor Hook and Lift Markings on both sides. Beware of Blast and Danger on the inner part of the legs. And another set of Danger marking on the inner thigh where it bends from intake area. Backpack/Tail Fin. Added random text markings. Including Arrestor Hook on the side and Beware of Blast markings. Wings. Added Arrestor Hook. Random text as a Pylon Attachment markings under the wing. Arms. Random text markings applied near the forearm area and beside the Gunpod/Fast Pack slot. In the end, seeing that most of the bigger texts such as Beware of Blast, No Step, etc is kind of too big and too recognizable compared to the small text markings... I'm thinking if using a 1/72 scaled decal looks better for those big text markings? Hmmm. Also one more thing is that I was planning on putting the decals on the Strike Packs and I noticed that 'NB-FP-something-something' decals were all the same on the decal sheet that I bought. But based on the actual Yamato stickers, it should have different number markings instead to separate the packs from the armaments. That's why I didn't put it. Another case of HUCHIJO and NO STLP.

I have a feeling that we will like this version more than the Evo's version. Just sayin'.

You're welcome guys! Glad to be of help.

Got this today at work. - 2nd Orguss figure from last HLJ's sale. - Hi-Metal R VF-1J TV. Instant purchase after a successful Hi-Metal R VF-2SS preorder on the same evening. - Super Mini-Pla Galient 2-pack. - Metal Build 00 Gundam Seven Sword/G. Still wish it has a standard white Setsuna box.

Now now. I only wanted to have a regular white Metal Build Setsuna Box. Is that too much to ask? You know, kind of like when you joined them together it will form a one-of-a-kind cool looking art. Just like this one. That's a cool figure, Anubis. It feels like it came out from Zone of the Enders video game.

Probably the same speaker component they used on their 1/6th Cockpit.

Thanks, Slave IV. I'll just create those wrong spelling NO STEP. Though I just figured I need white ones too for the dark colored Strike Packs. Hehehe. Sorry I have to 'snip' it MickyG. But yeah, now I get it. All the while I got confused on the first custom decal that I ordered because I argue with the printer regarding topcoating. I'm telling him that I know about topcoating towards the end and he's insisting me to topcoat it prior of applying so we had a small argument first. Hahaha! Thanks for the tip, Lolicon. But it's an easy fix for the Hikaru so it's ok. I'll think about it once the HMR VF-2SS arrives. Hey Technoblue. I'm using a $99 set that I bought from Amazon. I think I posted the link on my first post. It's Master brand with compressor set. It has an air trap or some sort. And it came with 3 airbrushes. 2 gravity-feed and 1 siphon-feed. And some cleaning accessories and a small guide book.

Question. Was the Promaxis Mini-Pla has been released already? I can't seem to find where to preorder one.

Found this anime review from YouTube:

I just checked and it was. Setsuna piloted the 7S/G in the 00V chapter. The Full Saber Quan[T] however are run with Veda's simulation test. So far, seeing it has different box design kinda threw me off. Hehehe. Hear! Hear! Hope they make that teased Metal Build Astraea soon. And hope it's the white one first. Anyways, great catch everyone!

Thanks Saburo. Here's what I bought from Amazon. Here's how BIG it is with Figuarts Iron Man figure and an iPhone 7 Plus for reference.

The one Anubis posted is Metal Build and not regular Gunpla kits. Metal Build are already built. Plastic used on the Metal Build ones are thicker ABS plastics with Diecast Metal for the inner frame.

Nice! But why Bandai? Why not use the traditional Setsuna MB Gundam Boxes design to make it consistent?

Not just nice. Lovely too.

Thanks SlaveIV! Really appreciate it. I'll probably use that for the wrong spelling NO STEPs markings. Wait. I just re-read again the eBay listing. So this is for Laserjet printer. Not advisable for Inkjet. But still can use it but needs topcoating. I don't have Laserjet printer. Is this something I can do with those print shop like FedEx or UPS? Just bring the paper and file and all is good if they have laser colored printer?

Can you post a sample photo of this if it's ok. Thanks! Thanks wmkjr! Actually I was hoping for an easy disassembling like the VF-1's. Don't want to risk prying open the plastic since most of it are glued.

I can't say it is. But I wouldn't waste time on it though. Anyways, my wife kind of liked it when I watched it the second time with her. My only comment to her after watching it is that 'good thing you're not into the anime version'. The anime has more humor into it esp between Togusa and Batou. Togusa on this movie is such an a$$. And they're all serious the whole time. And how come Scarlett's walking pattern looks awkward. Androids doesn't walk like how she walks in the movie. However I do like all the bits that pays homage to what was done on the animes.

The Neo-Bird mode reminds me of this... Final Fantasy VIII's Ragnarok

You're welcome sir!

If the Draken kit will come with Makina/Nozomi, I'll buy 10.

Thanks MickyG! By the way, I'm curious on the topcoat that you're referring to on the decals. So if I were to do a DIY decals or let's say I ordered a customed one without a coat yet, what topcoat should I use so that it will not disintegrate once I dip it in water? Would regular topcoat works or there's a specific one for it? Thanks in advance. Sad to say, the decal only has Uchijo Hikaru. Weird coz it has different number marking for the name but most are HUCHIJO. Hehehe. But kidding aside, I think there's another one I see which I think is for Max coz the name is kinda long but I wouldn't trust it has a correct spelling. I'll check it again tonight. Hey David! Thanks! Yeah, only the VF-1 is easy to disassemble. That's why I'm not sure when I start doing decals for the VF-0 since it can't be remove unless you broke or pry open the thigh area first. Which is the other reason why I prefer it disassemble so I can eyeball the placement of the decals by looking at it at the same time.

Thanks for sharing this, Seti. I got curious if it's still transformable. So I checked his tweet. And... Wow! There goes my 2nd HMR VF-2SS purchase.

Sorry to see this happened to you. Curious. If anyone applied topcoat on their v1's VF-25 before, would that help preventing the yellowing on the plastics?
