YetiStand Alpha.

Yup! I was thinking about doing a vertical tube-launch pose (wings folded etc) , but the stand may not go high enough. The -51 is BIG.

Might need 3 arms on one stand.

while i don't have an SV-51 anymore, i was wondering - do you plan on selling extra arms separately? it'd b nice to get some additional height etc with some poses.

Also...everybody else...great shots!

i've only just set mine up in static hovering type pose (sort of like a harrier might do) for a vf-25G with super pack. holds fine. i did need to use a wrench and an allen key to get teh sufficeint tightness on the joints but i kind of expected that would be the case anyway.

Speaking of that. Wasn't trying for vertical reach. Just needed it to fine tune the height. Not for the faint of heart.

[Valkyrie23]

Just did a quick dry fit test. This violates the common sense rule due to the odd weight distribution and lack of a clip, but Hello Kitty is going supersonic!

The stands are just great. Great job, CY! We just might need a custom clip for this HK Chogokin if there is a demand for it, haha.

Also, when using the acrylic solvents, do you only place it on the smooth surfaces of the base pivot and not the routed side?

Sure. This is an eventuality.

I am down for making any adapter that people would buy.

That is HK Chogokin is awesome! A friend of mine bought it for his daughter (I know he bought it for himself).

As for solvent, it works best when the 2 surfaces are smooth and flush against one another to give the solvent a nice surface to weld the 2 pieces together.

CY, can't wait for the 2nd run of stands I am going to need more.

Good to hear they are well received. Trying to figure out a better way to do the bases to increase consistency.

I am very happy with them. Now there are so many possibilities for photographs now.

I am sure you'll figure out something for the bases and once you have that figured out, I am ready for round 2.

My stands arrived safe and sound yesterday. I quickly opened them up to make sure they were all there, they are. But will have to sit down over a few days to sort out all the bits and put them together. Hard to do at the moment with a newborn. He can sense when I have free time

I know the feeling. Have fun with them when you can.

[Raptor One]

Picked mine up earlier, didn't have any trouble with customs for once. No time to try them out until later tonight unfortunately, but I'm excited.

[Saburo]

[NightCastle]

That looks like an advertisement photo if I've ever sen one.

[The Old Man]

Brilliant photos everyone, I am still 'patiently' awaiting mine.

[ChaoticYeti]

Looks like it cleared customs. Kinda interesting how long it takes for some of the international orders to get to their destination

[charger69]

It takes long in Turkey I can easly say that

[Raptor One]

Got to put one together last night. These stands are amazing. Looks like my base pivot is loose so using the 3D printed one for now, but the clear looks so much better.

These stands are dangerous. The valks I have look so good on them that I just want to get more valks to test them out with

[ChaoticYeti]

I know the feeling!

[Raptor One]

Nice! Planning to post some pics tonight

[David Hingtgen]

I think due to its raw size and skinny proportions, the -51 can show off the stand's capabilities best. It's just a monster of a valk.

It is light, but it is huge. It barely fits on my expedit shelves with a missile launcher on each wing edge.

[The Old Man]

Picked mine up today, and I'm chuffed to bits.

Really nicely done Yeti, it was well worth the wait.

I've been putting them together all night so my fingers are bleeding from all the peeling and twisting.

Can't wait to take some pictures later.

Thanks again for the quality product Yeti. I foresee a Bandai style pre order madness for the next run!

Chuffed to bits. That sounds horribly painful, but it is a good thing? Awesome. I am glad you finally got your order!

[The Old Man]

I may have exaggerated, they are a bit sore though. Couldn't be arsed to get any tools

[The Old Man]

Sorry, I misread. It's late here.

[wmkjr]

Loving these stands! Can't wait till YetiStand Beta.

Hehe. You probably figured this out CY, but chuffed means ecstatic, wowed, or very pleased across the pond.

Not to be confused with chafed.

[The Old Man]

Here's a few pics of what I have to hand. There's a few more on my Flickr feed if you want to see more.

[technoblue]

Those are lovely pics, old man. What is your impression of the LEGO adapter? It looks really sturdy there.

[The Old Man]

Thanks!

The Lego adapter works a treat, it's the 4x4 block though whereas I think some people had problems with the 2x4?

[Saburo]

Great shots Old Man! I want to buy some Lego now.

[technoblue]

I have a number of LEGO kits in storage. I'm sold.

Not only for the adapter... I'm going to need more stands.

I have only have 1 Lego kit; the TIE Defender. When round 2 of orders opens I'll be ordering a stand + adapter for it.

[STL]

Thank you, Chaotic Yeti! These are brilliant. They were painful to put together and peel off the brown paper but once together, they add so much to a Valk.

I'd be interested in some Lego ones too!

[Kanedas Bike]

^Nice shots/background STL!
