    my guess is it's coz of the change w/ the shoulder hinge pin... i hope this delay won't set back the Max and Kaki TV release dates...

    and we have a winner... yeah, i saw that right before i took those pics, but i had the idea and everything ready weeks before. that's why i was so antsy to get my 1D... even tried that and the detachable arm thing with my 1S... ... my shaky hands make me bad at applying stickers and panel-lining... but i might try that pro-modellers wash one of these days... @NB4M - that custom kit is genius...

    most probably... but i only looked at the hinges more closely using a loupe after the mod... but i'm pretty sure they were there already, its just very hard to see w/ the naked eye.

    sorry bro, guess most of us don't have even one of these things... but i did mention that i saw (and almost bought) one of the glossy slipped-covered ones in HK last Dec. going for around $300... and i heard recently that there are some of the latest re-issues available in HK for around ~$248... i just might grab me one if the price is still the same or lower when i go back there later this year...

    i wish Yamato would just provide extra parts to recreate that scene even if it's just clip-on accessories...

    thanks, man... yeah, this was what i had in mind while i was waiting for my 1D... i just had to do it... those 2 scenes in ep.2 have been etched in my mind since the 80's... no secret... just look for a toy car who's seats are just the right size for the pilot fig and can easily be disassembled...

    LMFAO!... is that for real??? made me remember the time matt hughes slammed carlos newton and they were both knocked unconscious...

    hinge that connects the chest and the metal part/LERX where the cockpit/fuselage slides in? that's weird... no cracks or stress marks here...

    things that i've noticed w/ the 1D - the serrations on one side of the pin for the shoulder hinge are unnoticeable compared to my other v2s... there are slight discolorations on the plastic on the front side of the shoulder armor likely due to them rubbing against each other in Fighter mode. i noticed this on my 1S after a few transformations and figured it was because of the black paint... love the color!... it's just screaming to be noticed... no cracked hinges, everything is tight all around... my new fave valk...

    i was thinking of disassembling the seat from my other VFs at first... but i figured one of my cheap $10 TF classics would do and would be less risky... can you guess who the seats are from???

    finally got my 1D... here it is w/ FPs
  12. m0n5t3r
    great news! thanks for that!

    got beaten to the punch on this... here's my much simpler version, not as elaborate as the other one, but here it is anyway... didn't dare cannibalize one of my VFs... a TF is easier (and cheaper) to cannibalize...

    damn, got beaten to the punch...

    LOL... Roy has a "crack"??? on a serious note... i'm pretty sure that the smaller diameter pin will solve the problem based on my manhandling of my Roy 1S after i modded the pins... i did notice some small lines/micro fractures on the sloped part of the hinge when i looked closer using a magnifying loupe, but it never developed into a crack that goes all the way though no matter how rough i handle it now...

    another good thing is you can combine diff length rods for more versatile poses... like this (pose borrowed from ruskii except its w/ a combination of 2 x 4" + 1 x 6" rods) + an extra soc...

    just curious... can anybody post a size comparison shot between the VF100's and the GN-Us...
  22. m0n5t3r
    i think that's HK$... don't know though if it's for 1/60 or 1/72...

    love MMA... have been watching since UFC 1... did local Muay Thai/kickboxing when i was in college w/ my buddies... i remember "sharpening" our shins by kicking coconut tree trunks and doing shin-to-shin exercises... wish i was young again, lol the trash talking between Rampage and Rashad was really hilarious!

    don't know if this has been posted already and if this is the right thread... just thought it cool... Life-size RX-78-2 Gundam for Bandai's 30th Anniv. pics courtesy of V2

    well, the inflated price is all down to it being exclusive... if these were not exclusive web-shop items i'm pretty sure the prices would be lower than what they are now.
