WOW! Just bust out the limited edition valks! Nice collection! -
I know....I may get more of your hinges....

I got the 5mm hinges installed on my other one. They do not fit without filing down some material. Maybe if you mix match the 4 & 5... they might fit without mods. So to make them fit, I had to file down some material where the 2 meet up in fighter mode. As you can see with the pic....they only go in at a 45 degree angle. So I took off about less than 1/2 a mm....I might go back and take a little more off. It does not affect the lock (little bump you have to go over when transforming into gerwalk or battroid)when in battroid mode. Also when going back into fighter, you have to unlock the bar, to raise it higher for the hinge bulge to fit under. Once they are straight....you can lock down the bar. Then it is rock solid....maybe too solid. Not sure if anyone else is having the same problem as me. Please chime in. Also the balls on these are also a bit small. I had to stuff the joint for it to be snug.

Here is the 5mm ones. Once that material is shaved off.... it closes almost flush. And I found the right pin size....I cut the spring on a clothes pin....works good.

OK....I got one set installed. This the smaller ones that come as a pair. I noticed when you put them together....it does not close flat. So I shaved a little material off the center where it closes on the inside. I got it to almost close flush.... the fatter 5mm ones close alot better once the center material is shaved off. And it is very very minimal.....not going to affect the strength one bit. Here are both shoulders replaced. The white is not too bad with the flash....even when its off....it is not that bad. The TV J, and S should be a perfect color match...since I hear the plastic on those are a bright white. Note: I did notice the ball for the shoulder is a bit small. I tightened the 2 screws as tight as I could....but was still loose. I had to use a foam piece to fill up the gap. Once I did that....it is alot better. FYI.... the material I chose was the white strong & flexible. I wonder if I chose the polished....that it would be even looser?

A question about using Gundam Stands with Yamato Valkyries

Hey EXO.... your shapeways link does not look like the ones in the picture you posted. Which are the ones in the pictures?? -
I think this thread covers your request: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=35121&st=0 Just scroll through all the pages... I think you should get your fix.
-
Wow! That was quick. I am interested to see what they look like.
-
You mean like the ones that come with the GBP set? The "clobbering fists"?? These?
-
Hello... I just chose the regular white. My next order, I may get the white polished ones. I still need to find a good pin to use.
-
Count me in! I am still waiting to hear back for the armored J.
-
Got them yesterday.

I had some time to dig up part of my collection out of hiding, so I took some pics. There is still all my 1/48's I didnt take pictures of, along with all my model kits. I have always loved the original Macross/DYRL valkeries ever since I was a little kid. I started re-collecting since 1998 to present. Enjoy...... :0)

Got my replacement hinges for my V2 Yamatos........ -
+1! Agreed! But I do love the size of the 48's. I just wish the super/strike fighter wasn't so floppy.
-
I just ordered my sets. I cant wait to get them.

am I an a-hole for telling someone they bought something fake?
