I was able to score one from AmiAmi. But even if I weren't, there are other online stores available, and this won't be super hard to find in the aftermarket.
-
For a lot of people saying they weren't going to get this, it sold out of AmiAmi quick.
-
That wasn't really the point of why I was asking. It was more to find where people were shopping for it to spread the load of preorders.
-
Out of curiosity, what sites do most of you use for ordering these? I know it's an age old question, I'm just curious to see where people go, so that I can figure out where other options are.
-
Use solid steel pins. Don't use knurled pins. You will need different sizes,, which can be found in the instruction mNual, as well as screw sizes. For screws, I think the standard size is 1.7 x 6, 8, and 10.

Thanks. I was really happy as to how it turned out. I may decide to do up a really nice diorama with this from Delta.

Is March 12th not up for preorder? If so, is it due to golden week? -
I am all in for the Basara and Mylene figures. Those look too good to pass up on. Technically this will be my 3rd or 4th Mylene figure, and my 2nd Basara (counting the CMs figures and the Beach Queen and FB2012 Mylene/Minmay set). They do need the rest of the band though. MAKE IT COMPLETE!!!

The Cheyenne II is now done. It took a bit of time as the printed kits do, but I am really happy with the finished look. The brown color is actually a black primer, with a tan paint lightly dusted over it to create a darker tan. The missile pods don't line up perfectly, but it's not the worst thing.

Thanks. Sadly, not updates yet. I have most of it done, but I have to do another coat to cleanup the forearm cannon. Easy cleanup this time, but the rest of it is done, and I'm quite happy with it. I also just finished the hand that goes on it, so after that last cleanup paint, it's ready to be put together. I also got all the priming and sanding done on the missile pods, and the first coat of color. Today I try to figure out how I want to add some variation in color and some decal work.
-
Thanks. I should have the right forearme done tonight. I'm still working on the shoulder missile pods, but it requres a bit of work, as making clean cuts from the sprue was impossible. I have started the process of priming and sanding on them to find the areas I need to fix, and as soon as that is done, I still need to wait for some extra parts for the missiles themselves to come in. A finished pic will be up tonight.
-
Thank you. This build has had some challenging parts, but is fun. I only have the missile launchers and the last forearm being worked on, but I am almost out of flat paint. I should have more in by the time I need it. Here's the build so far. I know the picture is busy, but here is the almost finished work.

I realized after the pictures that I put on the back leg slides wrong. They work the same, but were changed after I uploaded the pictures (was too lazy to redo them). My big error, was forgetting to put in the arm joints before sealing everything up on the main body, so I unscrewed everything and have those going in tonight. I am now finished with the left forearm completely. Those pics are coming in about 10 minutes. I'm still working on the right arm, but I am working hardest on the other leg now, as I want to get the body on something it won't need to lay down on.
-
That is where I got mine from, aside from pins and screws. Those can be bought through eBay and Amazon though.
-
I managed to get most of the left leg done, as well as the most intensive part of the left arm. So far, I'm happy with what it is looking like.
-
Thanks. I'm now doing some dark grey trim on some of the pieces, and by tonight, I think I'll be done with all painting on the gatling gun parts. Wednesday, I take a break from the upper body sections, and go straight to the feet and legs mostly, but I will be working on all of it at the same time.
-
Here are the galling guns. I used a 1.5mm hand drill to drill in the barrels to give it a more realistic look for both. I did A LOT of sanding and primering on these. Once I felt it was smoothed out enough, I did a heavy coat of matte black. Then I used a gloss clear to be able to apply weathering and not have it stick to the matte so heavily.. I wanted to weather the metal look a bit, so I used Tamiya weathering master set c for the metal effect on parts for areas that would be changed and repaired a lot. Anyways, hope they look alright. I'm waiting on the rest of the kit to come this week.

What is chameleon colored plastic? Is it something that can be bought?
-
Here's an update. The main body is about done, but I need to put in the thrust nozzle and the white tower on the right side of the main body.

And one more fore the front.
-
Early painting and weathering after the long and arduous task of sanding and primering about 3-4 times each piece. Still needs some finer details, but overall, I'm happy with the results.
-
I'd love to see a Sivil figure, but I am happy to see a good sculpt of Basara, and hopefully Mylene looks really great. I have the old scale resin kit of Sivil, and that is a hard one to beat though.
-
Reviving an old topic, I know, but I finally got my first pieces together to start building the Cheyenne II. I haven't had a lot of desire to work on a couple other projects I have available, but this something that I am really excited about.
-
I kinda wish the Female pilot was still around. I wish I had the money back then to get one. Thanks. I really wanted to paint one in that color, but as the options for the T-Rex kits were green or brown, I Had to go outside of the box on working on that one. I've been trying to see if there are any other colors to paint others in, but for now, I'm going to start work on another project soon, so I may be moving from creating a Zentraedi army. Although, there is a Golg Bodol Zer using a figure in the right scale to 1/60.
