DyNo Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) Updated 6/17.... Scroll Down I just finish my first test set of custom 1/60 side covers. I will say the covers don't sit as good and take a little work to get them in right unlike the 1/48's covers that just seem to pop right in. Overall..... they turned out pretty good I think. Time now to start working on recasting them Edited June 23, 2009 by DyNo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0n5t3r Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 side covers look good on the new 1/60! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx7725 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 As a suggestion, maybe you can work in a support for the shoulder? A number of us have cracked shoulders, so having that little bit more support would be reassuring at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shoulders on my Roy are both cracked I did try to come up with a way to support the shoulders some but in the end it just didn't work out.

big F Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 This should have been included from the get-go! Exactly. Never understood why they never did this on the original 1/60 and 1/48 anyway. All the Anime footage shows they have them. Oh well Yamato's loss is DyNo's gain. Cast away old chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thinking the same, a base with a clip that hold the shoulder, something equal to that is used to hold the legs in fighter mode.

I didnt get a Roy yet, did yours get cracked out of the box? or cracked while fiddling with the shoulders?

lechuck Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 This should have been included from the get-go! I can only agree 100%. Yamato goes to the trouble of creating removable intake covers, but they can't give us side covers!? It just does not compute with me. But hey, at least we got that completely useless removable fuselage gimmick that everybody likes to show off in their photos... @DyNo Great stuff. When, where and how much?

miriya Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 And prior to the V.2 1/60 release there were a whole lot of us here asking, begging, that they include the side covers, many a plea to old Yamato. I think that Graham may have even mentioned it to them. But of course nothing. Yeah, Rock it DyNo!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyNo Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 I didnt get a Roy yet, did yours get cracked out of the box? or cracked while fiddling with the shoulders? Mine were already cracked when I pull it out the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidearmsalpha Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hey Dyno, any chance you can make something similar to that piece that goes behind the neck on the 1/48's for the new 1/60's or does no one else really have a problem with the back of the neck being exposed? It's one of the turnoffs for me about the Battroid mode on the 1/60, and one of the positives for me for the 1/48 Battroid. If Yamato came out with side covers and that neckpiece, I would probably replace all my 1/48's with their 1/60 equivalents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyNo Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 I finally got some free time to work on the mold for these side covers..... Here is the finish product I should have some sets ready to go by Monday. So keep an eye out for my FS post.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
