Same! Ask, and ye shall receive;

I like! Thanks Kurisama. Looking forward on this one.

Same pic as Valhary's Middle pic. It shows the 1/60 version with the front of the visor almost right at the landing gear bay doors. 28.25mm was the length I estimated measured.

It's not loading the pic, wmkjr.

Looking forward the other parts you are going to make, I have a spare VF-1J laying unused from the armored set can could be upgraded with some custom parts.

[chyll2]

that double plus with standard 1J laser is so sweet looking.

[Kelsain]

OK! Tweaks done - looks waaaaay better now

Will most definitely NOT sit flush (visor visible) in fighter mode - will fit, but it'll need to be deployed further out.

Chin may need some work.

I think the visor is totally hidden in fighter mode

Hmm, one difference I notice is in the placement of the head lasers. On the sketches and the models Valhary posted, it looks like the "hat" covers the lasers, preventing them from rotating upward & making it a little more streamlined. Your design has them sticking out past the hat, so that they can rotate.

Sorry for the delay. I got some scans of the 1X++. Hope these help in any way. Oh, and the 1X doesn't have the wings folding back. I was mixed up with the 0 Kai. Sorry, the pictures are going to be a bit huge. Doing it for the sake of some sort of hi-res.

There's also pics here and there throughout the rest of the book, so if there's anything more specific you need, let me know. BTW, the head looks great.

[Kurisama]

Excellent! Thanks a lot buddy!

[Jasonc]

Excellent! Thanks a lot buddy!

No problem.

Hey Kurisama, i have just been having a quick look 8n your shampeways shop and i was wondering what the difference is between the vf-0d variant a and variant b?

[wmkjr]

Was it one had the hard points and one didn't?

[Kurisama]

Yep, that's it. One with and one without hard points. Hold off buying it for a few days, I want to upload a new version that eliminates the built-in pins (weak and could break) - making all the male plugs into female, in the interest that the person buying it will use 2mm metal rods.

Kelsain, I'll look into tucking them in when I review it, haven't touched the file since last posting of the image. Not much time to myself these days.

[Jasonc]

Any updates on your projects? I'm gonna check up on your shapeways when I get home, but til then, hope to see the 1X++ stuff, (if you're doing that).

[Kurisama]

Hey man. I had intended to have the head unit finished weeks ago (only a tiny tweak here and there) but uni has been pretty full on.

I'm not entirely sure when I can get it done and available - but should be relatively soon.

On the plus side I am learning a program called Creo for rapid prototyping.

Thanks everyone for their patience.

Uni??? Not sure what that is. Sorry, maybe it's just that I have a lot going on. In any case, that's great to hear about the other program. Thanks for the update.

[akteon]

uni = university, my guess.

[Kurisama]

Yep, uni = university. Studying industrial design.

[EXO]

I was thinking this guy eats a lot of sea urchin...

[Valkyrie Driver]

Yep, uni = university. Studying industrial design.

I knew the Germans called it Uni, but I didn't know anyone else did. That's a really cool field of study. With this hobby you have going, I'm sure you'll do well.

Hah! Awesome ! I was browsing shapeways earlier today for your latest stuff and it wasn't up yet😁

I must have been workin the intuition or something..😏

Looks great Kurisama👍

[Kurisama]

Thanks! TBH, I felt very guilty I had neglected this so long, with only the miniscule of tweaking before being a viable print.

[valhary]

my wallet hate you!

I think is time to spend money on shapeways one more time

[Kurisama]

Sorry !!!

I haven't even been able to order it - I am beyond penny-less. Being a student sucks.

[mickyg]

C'mon people - buy Kurisama's stuff so he can.. Um.. Buy Kurisama's stuff.

That looks awesome, mate. Very nice work!

Edited September 12, 2015 by mickyg

[Kurisama]

Exactly!

[Bolt]

Ok mate. Ordered a 19-style arm canon

And 2 impacto canons as well😉

[wmkjr]

If Arcadia's releasing the VF-4G, I gotta get that head unit!

[Bolt]

I believe the Yammato version of the VF-4G is quite sound. Although I only keep mine in fighter mode as that's my fave.

Hopefully if and when Arcadia does it, the cost won't be so ridiculous as the yammies 🙏

[Kelsain]

I ordered a new head for my Qrau, to get to free shipping!

[Bolt]

Added the custom VF-4 head and a six pak of ant Vaj missles😉

Thank you Kurisama San!

[Jasonc]

Really liking what I'm seeing. I hope to get this as an entire kit. I really want to put one of these together.

[Jasonc]

Just wanted to check in, and mostly say hi, but to see if you have any updates to any of your projects? Hope all is well.

Curious. Did anyone purchased this head from Kurisama via Shapeway? I want to see how it looks like on VF-1's. Any links? Thanks!

[no3Ljm]

Just ordered the VF-1X head from Kurisama along with Yeti's 0A Leg Nub Joint. Hoping that I will have time to paint this one for my planned part swap custom VF-1.

I just ordered the head, but I was also gonna get some of the HMMs and noticed those are no longer there. Are those gonna come back?

Thank you~! I fixed the impacto cannons (rebuilt the main section actually) but you didn't re-order? Oh well.

Goddamn, my Custom Rau is standing there looking at me me, unfinished... for nearly 4 years?!

Thank you VERY much!

Eh, could be better - but projects are there, un-touched, making me feel bad for no finishing them - I need some inspiration.

Awesome - please post pics of it - I haven't been able to order one as yet.

Hey man, the HMMs are still there;
