Got this today, you know what they say all good things comes to those who wait. Because I was just about to start taking pictures of my 262 when the Lill Drakens came in the mail. And it was just in time too considering the mail lady was about to leave the slip in the mailbox and I came upstairs to check the door as she was there with my package.

Thank you @Skull-1 for sending me this gem in pristine condition! I have another 1/48 in storage somewhere but this is the first one I've opened and handled and I love it! I think I like it more than the V2 1/60s because of the overall simplicity, looks, gimmicks and size. It could be just the shock and excitement of getting something new that I've wanted for over a decade but it really seems like the ultimate VF-1 made so far. Did I mention I love it? Thank you @Skull-1 !

Congrats. I just got the urban armor for my 1/48 low viz limited. I still haven't opened mine but it's one of my favorites along with the CF and Stealth.

Ah nice! I've had some armor lying around for years (Low Vis Wood Land) and been wanting to get a Valk for it the whole time. Finally ended up with this one and even though it isn't a perfect match, I like the plain look of the Valk itself better. I think it will look fine with the armor and will post pics as soon as I get it all geared up!

Thanks!

[Slave IV]

So, that was great while it lasted. I came home to find my 1/48 VF-1A Low Vis and DX VF-31F in pieces. Long story short, something was next to the figures, placed there by an unknown culprit, and when my wife opened the door nearby, it bumped into that object and knocked both figures over. Of course, the 31F was standing there safely for months but the day I get the 1A I've been trying to get for over a decade and place it in a spot I felt was safe, it gets broken. I'm impressed...nothing serious, just the antenna on the head but how am I supposed to replace that? The Bandai figure is very well designed when it comes to surviving bumps. I saw it in pieces and figures it was done but the pieces were all designed to come off with any pressure to prevent breakage and the design worked perfectly. The single antenna in the center of the head that matches the 1A was dislodged but easily replaced. Both figures basically survived being violently knock down from the top of a 5 foot cabinet onto a hard floor with just the one antenna as a casualty. I hope there is an easy fix like shapeways replacement part or something but I was near tears. Sorry @Skull-1, I said I would provide a good home but I let you down in less than one day. 

[wmkjr]

Ouch! Glad that they survived for the most part. Shapeways part should be doable.

Lolicon, I have the same Valkyries, and I love the panel lining you've done.  Can I ask what specific product or method you used?

Mostly just a fine-tipped mechanical pencil. 0.3 mm like this one:

For larger, deeper areas (like the 3x vents on the legs) I use Flory model wash.

If its any pose I will do it will be from the original Super Sentai team.  Go Ranger!

Hey, sentai shows are at least fun to watch. Unlike Delta. 

The Japanese Spider-Man is one of my favorite iterations of the character.

One of Saburo's photo had a 25 with tornado pack on. Seeing it motivated me to finally open up my tornado pack after too many months. So thanks Saburo!  I had fun putting it together tonight.

I did, though the Michael valk itself was stupid spendy.

I thought you were referring to the packs. My bad.
