Nice! What size and kind of marker did you use?
-
That does appear to be a bundle. Has anyone ordered from this place before? Are they legit? When do they take your preorder dough?
-
Just transformed mine to GERWALK mode and WOW am I impressed. I have to say so far, my biggest gripe is the odd orange color of the SMS logo on the stand. S'ok though, that gives me a quickie weekend project in the spring. A little creative masking and a couple of shots of some nice YELLOW paint, and voila!
-
Got mine today. Trying to build up the confidence to take it out of fighter mode, but it's just so preeeety. First impressions.....this thing is BADASS. However, ole girl needs some panel lining to be truly awesome.

Pretty sure this has been brought up before, but the problem with using grown parts from Shapeways etc is that they are nowhere near as durable as even the shoddy Yamato plastic. So, yes, it can be done, and for add on parts as NMB4M mentioned, it's great. But for something like a faulty shoulder joint, it would be worthless.
-
Like others have said, if you want a VT-1, you have no choice. I don't care about mine since it's never been transformed beyond putting the legs down for half GERWALK mode. Just get one, and replace the pins, and you're good to go.

Yep, I waited something like 6 weeks for my Fujimi Spinner kit. I sprung for EMS shipping with the Ozma.
-
That doesn't bode well for the Web Exclusive VF-4...
-
Got my pound of flesh request from HLJ. It was hard getting a pound of flesh into my computer...but I managed...
-
TS-42 is a light gunmetal.
-
I'm cool with it. I'd rather have a gunpod that looks like a gunpod, not a grape. If the gunpod was purple, mine would find itself in front of a can of Tamiya TS-42 post haste.
-
Well, it is 2AM in Japan. So, I'm inclined to cut them a little slack
-
Graham, does the S come with a stand like the Alto renewal version did?

Forum's New Cosmetic Changes
Mechamaniac replied to frothymug's topic in MW Site News & Member Feedback
It's actually the Mod icon that got changed. We're testing. If that's distracting then I guess you guys wouldn't want us to change them all eh? -
Are these going to be made available to the common (un-talented) man?
-
Awww FRAK. Goodbye money! I don't care for the standard VF-25 armor packs. That one is badass!

Bandai DX Chogokin YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie
Mechamaniac replied to UN Spacy's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Yamato is indeed a family restaurant. One where you find a thumbnail in your soup but it doesn't matter because the bowl is cracked and the spoon disintegrates as soon as it touches hot liquid. -
Any updates on this? I haven't been over there in days since it appeared that the backup site got hacked as well.
-
Must not miss out on Ozma this time....
-
Considering the board message that comes up now, I'd say something fishy is going on.
-
Alright you frakkers. Stop posting Gundam videos. Post that sheiße over at Gundamworld.com.
-
I'm clearly missing something here....

Thanks! Then all I have to do is remaster my own versions of the BD's I just paid $600 bucks for! Or...have my kids hold up flash cards like the ring girls at a boxing match! The point I'm trying to make is that YOU shouldn't have to extend such a generous offer. Given that the series is 30 years old, and has been officially translated and subbed at least twice that we know of, it wouldn't kill them to include the subs with this set which purports to be an "ultimate" edition. Adding subs can't possibly cost them much more.
-
No subs = 0 of Mechamaniac's dollars.

Actually, if you take into account the AMM-1's on the VF-1, then there will be pegs on the Valkyrie and peg holes on the missiles. I whole heardtedly agree though. Let's stick to the lineart here and not build in gimmicks for the sake of having gimmicks. I would like to see it with some sort of gunpod at least come with it though. Ultimately, I'll go with whatever they release as the Hory Froating Head himself has direct input over what features are put into these. If he's cool with it, then I'm cool with it.
