unclechopchop Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I know that this is a pretty old subject, but I just need to get a possible answer. Back in the day, I replaced a VF-0A arm, only to have the other arm break while putting it on! At that point, I was too pissed off to go through the whole process again. Well now it's starting to bother me again and I was hoping somebody could steer me in the right direction (if possible). Also, I don't want to limit this subject to just the VF-0A. I want to know where I can get the V2 VF-1 replacement parts as well. It just makes me sick that we pay all this money, just to have it break later on. Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 You're probably out of luck as far as getting any sort of replacement part from Yamato at this point, given their stance on unsupported markets and the fact that the VF-0 has been out of production for quite some time. At best, you might be able to find somebody who has spares to sell you. On the upside, some or our members have made third party replacement parts available, depending on which parts have actually broken, you might still be in luck. Quote
Loute Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Maybe you'll find what you are looking for here: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/veefshop One of our community member, Veef, did a great job at replacing parts for VF-1 and VF-0 Good luck Quote
unclechopchop Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Holy jeebs! Thanks guys! Quote
unclechopchop Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 The only bad thing is that they do not include the collar on the VF-0A arms. Mine actually broke right there! It's also a bummer that I would have to repaint the arms, but it isn't a deal breaker. I'm just bummed about the collars. Quote
Loute Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Try to contact Veef directly, maybe he's open to suggestions and requests ;-) Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Do you still have the original parts? Maybe you could figure out a way to combine gluing the old parts back together along with Veef's replacement parts? Quote
Loop Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 If you bought the Item from HLJ or maybe another helpful vendor in Japan, they may be able to help you. HLJ handled parts replacement for me before. I had needed the rear square screw cover on my VF-0A that Yamato forgot to install and when they did the 1/48 Roy renewal, they forgot the arm vernier thruster in one arm. HLJ got me the parts. Quote
unclechopchop Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 HLJ just gave me a -------- email. They're not gonna help me. Quote
Gakken85 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 You can buy an unpainted blank valk for like.. 50 bucks? Quote
Loop Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 HLJ just gave me a -------- email. They're not gonna help me. Did you purchase it from them? And how long ago? Quote
VF5SS Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) http://www.shapeways.com/model/923271/arm-armor-zero.html Here you go! You may need to thread the screw into the hole before putting it in just to make sure it lines up perfectly. This is just a quick and dirty check without any cleanup. The parts mate pretty exactly though. edit: Yeah I just worked it a little more and it's almost perfect right out of the bag. Edited February 22, 2013 by VF5SS Quote
moy Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Does veef make the vf-0 engine covers that go on the legs I lost mine? Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 check on his signature for the link to his shapeway shop to see if has made it. If not, try contacting him if he may be able to. Quote
atreyu2112 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Anyone know where to get shoulder hinges or cockpit canopy (crackly rainbow tint) for Yamato 1/60 v2? I have been unsuccessful for a long while now, then I forget about it, look, give up, etc... I have a 1J Hikaru TV that needs shoulder hinges and a 1S DYRL Focker that needs both shoulder hinges & the cockpit canopy. If you can help, it's much appreciated! Quote
