    Thanks to you as well; modelbuilding project or another type?

    I'm doing a 1/60 repaint but haven't tried something like it before. I only did Xigrid's X-9 and that's about it for my experience though I do have some 1/72 destroid kits in storage. It's fun taking the valks apart and seeing how they designed things though.

  2. Pengbuzz- Who cares what they think, this is your vision and as long as you're happy and enjoying the build then it's all good.

    I've started on a project too ( a little nervous as I'm a noob at these) but am enjoying all the little things that hopefully will make it all worth it in the end.

    @wmkjr that's the way to rock, still get the goosebumps watching em again!:good: :good:

    getting the cockpits out must be nervy! 

    Not really. 2 screws (or one if you're lazy like me) and it comes out in half. Pop and swap the heads then done. It's going into battroid for the B that is the tricky part.

    From the last page:

  4. To all that are wondering if you could make the B and C variants. The answer is yes and no. Depends on the mode. Fighter and Gerwalk are fine. Battroid will be the hard part as the A's cavity cannot accomodate the D's cockpit fully. You can do a C in Battroid and you can kinda cheat a B in battroid but you can still see a little of the cockpit. Anywho's here some pics for one of my projects in the works. You've seen the fighter modes already.20170223_120202.thumb.jpg.8d6d98a9e6f99d57e4baa96c0b8ce19d.jpg20170223_124723.thumb.jpg.8d20cf86219952ecf800308856acf01a.jpg

    This is more about planes in general, but it does have relevance to VFs.

    Why is the cockpit located at the nose? What issues would arise from placing it in the middle or rear of an aircraft?

    Given the growing prominence of coffin/camera cockpit systems in VFs, what would preclude a middle- or rear-situated cockpit?

    Switching up cockpit placement could lead to some interesting VF designs, at any rate.

    I would also be concerned about getting struck by some foward fuselage debris in the event of it taken damage if the cockpit were in the middle or rear.

    Wait. What corrected sticker for the box image? Was there a recall?

     

    Not a recall per se just a notice:

    Thank you very much for your continued patronage of our products. 

    With regard to "1/60 VF - 0 Support Reactive Armor" which was released on February 10, 2017, a mistake in printing was found in the product image on the left side of the product package. 

    Regarding this matter, we are very sorry for the circumstances of our company, but we will respond in the form of sending a design sticker that modified the part of the printing mistake. 
    Although I am very sorry to trouble you, I would like you to paste this sticker at the customer's own mistake in the print mistake part. 

    As for the distribution of this sticker, since it is currently undergoing printing work, we will notify you again on HP as soon as preparation is completed. 
    After that, if you can inform us of "Design sticker hope" to our customer, we will ship in order. 

    We truly apologized for causing inconvenience to our customers. 
    Thank you for your continued patronage and continued patronage.

  8. I wonder if NY is waiting on Arcadia to provide the corrected sticker for the box image hence the delay? Maybe not but I'm still waiting on mine from them too.

    Edit: Or maybe Arcadia halted shipments to correct the error 1st.

    Looks nice! :wub:

    But is this something that you can attach to the VF's hand to convert it into a 'BFG'? Probably it's going to make the VF-1 or VF-4 looks cool. ;)

     

    Hehehe. Just being sarcastic because of the price. But seriously, imagine that attached to a VF-1 GBP. ^_^

     

    I think a lancer valk with GBP  vs stampede valk showdown is in order.

    Glad I bought and built the 3D kit made by a member here about a year or so ago. No way in hell I'd pay that. 

    It was close to that price though and it was also resin cast and limited run hence why I'm thinking that's why this one is priced this way. If this was die tooled, it would probably be cheaper though the die molding would cost more and it being non transforming and not offering a lot in accessories/gimmicks, I would not expect to see a return on their investment.  I like the 3 different versions made. This version seems to have longer, flatter engines and the cannons are integrated more.
