Arcadia 1/60 Perfect Transformation VF-0D for 2015

[Moosey]

the black wash have to be sealed in so that the light wash wont remove the black wash underneath.

I'd like for the black to stain the white in and around the panel lines so the finish isn't uniform.

Who knows, I may have to wipe it all off and start over.

[chyll2]

Ah, I completely get what you are getting at. Just whatever the output, please share it here. Any detailed valk is worth sharing

[Moosey]

So this is after the dark wash

Now on to the White.

[chyll2]

Nice. Did you do anything before the wash? Or just applied it directly?

[Moosey]

Just applied directly.

Having a lot of trouble with the light wash.

The plastic is so frikkin shiny it just rubs right off.

Have tried a few coats of it now and it's getting a bit frustrating.

[no3Ljm]

Looks nice, Moosey.

[Moosey]

Things not going as I'd hoped really.

I think I need an airbrush.

The light wash is very susceptible to bubbles.

Also as I mentioned earlier, the plastic is so shiny.

It just won't take. My dreams of making it lighter may

not be realised.

The wings take the wash quite well but not the fuselage.

Particularly the chest plate.

Think I'll have to start over tomorrow.

Sorry they're upside down

^Well respect to you for taking this on as a project, I would say try not to get too discouraged but I'm not putting in the effort you are.

Hopefully a Member with similar experience can share some feedback that will help.

As someone that's worked on fighter jets, not every part of the air frame gets weathered.

[Sildani]

Which parts do get weathered, then?

I know that but what I'm after is a more anime accurate shade of blue. That may not be possible without a full respray (with paint not wash) however.

Sorry to hear about your troubles Moosey,

Did you see my thread on weathering my VF-0D?

If you look at my signature below, and go to the archived links thread, scroll down to the toys and you can find a few other links to my experience in weathering the VF-0D - I didn't have to re-paint the entire thing, but I did use an airbrush to do the salt weathering techniques to lighten the overall blue.

Good luck.

Thanks WM, you've done a spectacular job there alright. That's pretty much what I want to do alright.

Looks like an airbrush will be required alright.

Speaking of salt weathering, I've experimented a little with that this afternoon...

I'll post some pictures later (don't hold your breath though, it not that great!)

[Moosey]

I've decided I'm done (for now).

I will revisit it down the line if and when I can get my hands on an airbrush.

I tried the sea salt earlier on and it worked quite well except when I tried to wipe off the excess, it all came off!! 😣

Anyway, this will have to do for now.

Old Thread Revival! 

I got my hands on the VF-0D again from a fellow board member and it feels so good to have it in my hands again!

Nice score with the 0D!

So they were able to calculate to the minute when they would return to Earth 12000 years later and plan a welcome light show, but couldn't get the kana lined up right? 

[tekering]

Wonderful pictures, SuperHobo.

12000 years in the future, mathematics will be a fine art.  

Japanese will be an extinct language.

In the future everything is asymmetrical.

Thanks man! 12,000 years later languages will all combine into one super language.

It was a nice day outside to swoosh this bird around. 

[nightmareB4macross]

I hope that Arcadia releases the Grey Variant someday. Even if it were to be released an an ultra limited item I am sure many would buy in.

Arcadia where o where are you?

[spacemanoeuvres]

Bandai is eating Arcadia’s lunch.

[Sildani]

...unless Arcadia has moved on to another lunch. Who knows what they’re doing beyond the Sv-51?

[Sanity is Optional]

Looks like there's a Premium Finish VF-0D incoming. Was on display at WonFest.

¥39,800 sometime in 2019.

Taken from anymoon.

*RUBS EYES*

1) is the color changed or is it a camera white balance illusion?

2) Weathered??

3) rounding up....40k! 

Man if its true the color changed and is weathered,...tough call...i already gave up when i saw the price, but then 1) and 2) questions came in....

that might sway me if true....

Edited February 10, 2019 by seti88

[chyll2]

That faded finish. It will be mad not to get this.

[Sandman]

Nice but that price....

[eggy99]

Stupid expensive. Gotta sell some organs for that 0D PF. Bandai has all my business now. 

Also would be annoying if hips still not fixed. Assume they would have the 0S hip fix. You never know though.

[mechaninac]

Looks mighty nice, but that price, and the fact that I already have the original and do not own any PF versions of anything in my collection, means this is thankfully an easy pass for me... more money for Sentinel's MOSPEADA offerings.

[Ikaros3]

[Lolicon]

Took pics of the PF 0D at Wonderfest.

EDIT: Yes, it is panel-lined and shaded. Your eyes are not deceiving you. Whether or not the final version will be like that is another question.

Edited February 10, 2019 by Lolicon

[Ryoma]

If the final version will be like this i think it's worth the money. Although something inside me tells me that this is how should have been the first release.

[sh9000]

I want that color but not that price.
