  1. Great ideas! If I knew how to design it in CAD I would make the boosters connect zero fast pack style with magnets ( extruded to fit magnet shape/size).

    For the wings I'd notch the wings to allow them only one way of travel and prevent them from drooping the other direction.

    I'd make the hinge so that it'd be able to move in/out of the fuselage a little. That way in fighter mode the wings would be flush to the fuselage with no signs of the hinge but when you want to fold the wings you just pull it out slightly then fold.

  2. Haven't read this thread in a while and come back to see this new color debate. I've always thought Shin's 0A was white-ish with small red accents as a homage/nod to Hikaru's 1J. I don't see where they got blue from or how it would fit.

    Whatever you do, don't look back at the last couple of pages. For now it's all nice and quiet and you don't wanna awaken the beast called "color choices" . :ph34r::p

  3. Sorry for the pic quality . Was lazy to set up my stuff.

    Anyhow, just testing what it could hold. Ivanov is holding a spot for the VF-0D. I'll peel off the covering later.

    Zero quad:

    1 standard arm

    2 double arm

    4 XL arms

    2 elbows

    Metric hex bolt from hardware store

    Adapters to fit

    Muwahaha! Peeled off the covers and looks cleaner on a single base:

    Same parts list as the zero quad with the inclusion of the following:

    2x standard arm

    1 more bolt from hardware store

    extra rubber washers

    Those are the parts breakdown plus the yetistand alpha base . Same setup except with a standard arm holding the VF-25. It's a custom mix of parts from Yetistand and the hardware store. Hex bolt size/type is in my yetistand gallery. The extra rubber washers would be the hardest to get if you don't have extra unused stands lying around. I must add that it has a very large area and putting them on might be a hassle if you don't put them on in a certain order as it wants to topple over because of the weight distribution.

  4. Thanks for the screenshots, very nice one on top I must say. I like to over-analyze things too as I got nothing better to do right now except sit and wait for more delicious pics of valks! :p

    I was showing screens that had some blue as someone asked why they would use blue anywhere on the VF-0A. I think that the whole blue/grey thing is confusing as the colors keep changing. They both look good to me.

    Here's another one with grey although it's shaded:

    Don't get me wrong as I was miffed on the color choice for the 0D when it came out. Who knows what Arcadia's thinking as the criteria for color selection.

    Edit: MacrossJunkie, is that from the Blu-ray? I wanna pick up a set.

  5. I was okay with the hue of blue they chose for the 0D, but it makes no sense to me why they're using blue anywhere on the 0A...

    I can see the fins but not the back of the legs.

    Crappy dull color tones from the episode during the fighting make it hard to tell.

    Tried to snap the pic but I'm to slow:

    Blue is definitely visible in this one:

    Now go with grey or differentiate yourself from the other version and go blue? Regardless, can't wait till release.

  6. I believe jvmacross had pics posted earlier in this thread sometime around the beginning of this year of different gbp box arts. My memory is kinda fuzzy on that.

    Edit: Found it!

    From jvmacross: Gotta have one for each of these!!! :rolleyes:

  7. Hey wmkjr, is that a sticker or decal number "1" on your GBP?

    Sticker that came with it trimmed down.

    With the VF-27β coming soon, I finished weathering my second Brera 27. This one has subtler weathering than my first and a satin finish instead of being completely flat.

    Only took a few pics though.

    Both of them look lovely though I like that subtle look more. Can't wait to see the green version!

    Edit: did you get different colored lighting?

  8. Umm, aren't these of the same toy? I don't recall there being a fold booster for the new version.

    Yes, the V1. Saburo was asking about the green colors on the V1 so I showed him pics of the V1. I should've been more clear. It's the same V1 but one under lights and one under ambient lighting to show the different variances of greens. Hopefully this release VF-27 will have a more uniform green color.

  9. There was a Custom VF-1A in gbp armour on this site a while ago painted to look like box art of a model kit does anyone know where this is?

    It looked like the crusader mech scheme from battlettech with tan and red scheme for the armour

    There is a custom one in the gallery. Look under 1/60 customs and the member was lordmasterprince. I believe it's a v.1

  10. The Uniform is top quality! It was a bit laborious to deal with manufacturing time and the shipping back and forth to Europe, but I don't regret the long wait.

    Thank you Erikos :)

    Going with that qoute I'm guessing it's all depending on when his Mother has free time for production. I'll wait another month for an update.
