realdeal Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I could probably take three. Depends on price. Quote
vlenhoff Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Honestly, the GBP hands look way too big on a VF-1 without armor.Graham 359923[/snapback] I agree a 100%. I would rather get some of the recently scuplted DYRL hands. The GBP hands are way to big. Quote
peter Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I'd like two sets...how does this work, if you make them, we send you a check and you mail them to us? Sorry, never done this before. Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 I might be interested but I think the side piece is more my interest than the hands. I think they look out of proportion despite how detailed they are. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted January 15, 2006 Author Posted January 15, 2006 Proportion of the hands is an issue, but they still suit the main purpose of completing the DYRL look, and making them more aggressive. Resculpting the hands could be an option, but the price could become slightly higher due to the work involved. I will have to look into reducing the size of the mold via a shrinking agent, but if that is unsuccessful then I can only provide the recasts (not resculted) hands. I still have no price set, I am still awaiting the arrival of my GBP. Quote
promethuem5 Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 A resculpt smaller would be interesting... the DYRL hands that Eternal D made are nice, but a set that looked like these would be top-notch! Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 I'm interested in 12 side panels for my six Valks with the Hikaru 1J excluded because the GPB armor is going on it. Quote
LePoseur Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) I'd be in for at least four sets (of side armor that is). As long as paypal is ok, or I can work out something with you from here in Japan, sign me up. Edited January 15, 2006 by LePoseur Quote
Batou Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Oh fuh sho. I'd be down for 2 or 3 sets depending on what they cost ... Quote
Rabidweezil Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 I'm interested in both the hands and side panels. How many depends on the cost like others have mentioned. Quote
Ido Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I've seen the hands on a valk w/o hands, they look ok, I'm in for a set. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted January 22, 2006 Author Posted January 22, 2006 Still waiting for my GBP to arrive. I was really looking forward to getting it this weekend. Quote
bryan_f_davis@yahoo.com Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 SNAP! Hook me up with 4 sets. DAMN. Sweet! Propitious. Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Nightmareb4Macross, have you recieved your armor yet? I wanna see how a recast of the hands would look Quote
hevangel2 Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Interested, 2 sets hands and side cover. Quote
recon Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) interested in 4 sets. any updates? Tks cheers Edited February 10, 2006 by recon Quote
GobotFool Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 I am certainly interested, also if you feel the need to recast, how bout a set of those side gap fillers. Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 btw, i'm up for at least 2 to 4 sets...i think i might be buying a couple yamatos after taxes Quote
wm cheng Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 I'd be interested too, depending on price. Any possiblilty to recast the sides in the same grey as the GBPs? Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted February 11, 2006 Author Posted February 11, 2006 I am hoping to finally recieve my GBP this coming week. I think I will do the all the side covers in the same color as the valk. Once I receive it I can then look at what would look better, VF-1 White or GBP grey. This is just taking way to loooooooooooooooooooooooooong to recieve my GBP. But at least I know it's on the way. **NOTE: At work, this site has been blocked and now I have no access to MW at work. So, anyone posting interest or questions, just be patient I will answer all inquiries and acknowledge all interests. NB4M Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted February 17, 2006 Author Posted February 17, 2006 Finally, I will have my GBP in hand tomorrow. Quote
Jarrod Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 I'm also intersted in both a set of hands and sides. Jarrod Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted February 17, 2006 Author Posted February 17, 2006 I got my GBP today!!! DAMN THIS THING IS AWESOME!!! I\'m still at work, I have to wait until I get home to see this on my VF-1. Quote
recon Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Waiting for news of recasting these hands, hopefully you can shrink it to a size suitable for 1/48 VFs Cheers Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted February 19, 2006 Author Posted February 19, 2006 Well here's the deal. I finally got the 1/48 GBP. I took a look at the side covers and the hands. I will be pouring the molds, tomorrow. - Side covers can be done for $10.00 per set. Let me know if you want the stock grey or valk white color for the side covers.

Low Viz Coming Soon. - Hands WITHOUT the ball-joints and polycaps $15.00. - Hands WITH ball-joints and polycaps $20.00.

recon Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 (edited) Hi NB4M, Sorry, whats the difference btw Hands WITHOUT the ball-joints and polycaps and Hands WITH ball-joints and polycaps? Pardon me for asking as i havent got a GPB yet . Can these hands be inserted into the regular hole pegs of the 1/48 valks? What are side covers btw as im clueless without a GPB? PS: pictures would be greatly appreciated to add in the explanation. Tks Cheers Edited February 19, 2006 by recon Quote

Tks Cheers 371561[/snapback] You can see there is a ball-joint in the center of the hand, but this cannot be done with only resin and a ball-joint. A polycap has to inserted inside the small block piece located closest the wrist. Without the ball-joint and polycap working together, the pieces would just flop around. The other option is to cast this as one piece so not ball-joint or polycap is needed. It is basically the TV fat hands style. CLICK HERE for further GBP details and review.
