charger69 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Snug as a bug in a rug, even if you tug Great posability!! Isamu Dyson approved Quote
Silverstreak Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) I'm gonna have to put in another order for extra arms and adapters. And I'm gonna have to track down a YF-21 now. My wallet hates you Yeti. Edited October 25, 2014 by Silverstreak Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Man, that would have been perfect for one of my YF-19 + YF-21 pics I just took... Edited October 25, 2014 by MacrossJunkie Quote
isamuad Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Oh Man!!! great versatility, how many days do we still wait for that stand XD ? Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Oh Man!!! great versatility, how many days do we still wait for that stand XD ? I was hoping to hear back from one of the vendors I am sourcing the hardware from. Probably early next week at this point. Quote
Silverstreak Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 So I got myself a medium bodied acrylic solvent so as to glue the yeti stand bits together but how is the best way to approach this without making a mess and ruining them? I'm scared Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 So I got myself a medium bodied acrylic solvent so as to glue the yeti stand bits together but how is the best way to approach this without making a mess and ruining them? I'm scared I was thinking about doing a video, or pictorial to assist in doing this. What I like to do is apply it while the base pivot and base is assembled. Hold it bottoms up, and carefully and slowly pool it onto the tab from the bottom. The tab doesn't sit flush on the bottom, so there is a little "trough" you can carefully fill. The solvent typically seeps up the tab a bit. If it doesn't, you can pull it out a few millimeters and than re-seat it. The solvent will start to form a skin fairly quickly, so you need to do all of this in a short amount of time. "Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast". Try the solvent out on something else so you get an idea of the viscosity. Quote
CoreyD Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 A video would be very helpful actually. I've been holding off because I'm expecting to make a gloppy mess. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) A video would be very helpful actually. I've been holding off because I'm expecting to make a gloppy mess. Ok, I'll try and set something up. The new arms add an amazing amount of options. Still trying out new ways to assemble the YetiStands. Double decker The VF-11b arm does not come in contact with the YF-19. Perfect clearance. P.S. I have decided to include one free adapter with each stand order (first run included 2). The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't rationalize omitting all adapters from the sale price of each stand. Elbows, extra arms, and extra adapters are still going to cost extra.

David Hingtgen Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Yeti----any chance of including a schematic showing these configurations with the dual arm? I really like most every "double" you've shown and would like a reference sheet of them-----vs logging into MW every time and trying to find a certain pic again. Quote

Wouldn't be too time consuming to render out a few configurations.Edit: once in hand, I am pretty sure people will come up with configurations I haven't thought of. There isn't a "wrong" way as long as it works for you. Edited October 26, 2014 by ChaoticYeti Quote

vsim Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I've already started planning which toys to put on which of this second batch of Yeti stands. So many possibilities. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I'm putting my VF-0D and Sv-51 together. I just need the VF-0D... Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 I'm putting my VF-0D and Sv-51 together. I just need the VF-0D... I could take a pic of the sv-51 on the bottom of the double decker setup. Check the clearance of it. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) man, if only 4 can fit you can have skull squad on one stand jk, three is incredible!!! Edited October 27, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 man, if only 4 can fit you can have skull squad on one stand jk, three is incredible!!! I would have no worries putting 4 yamarcadia 1/60 VF-1's all on one stand. Very doable. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 whipped this up quick. You could have some pretty neat formation flying going on. Quote

Just need to add a few elbows. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Yep. Just need to add a few elbows. oh, yeah!!!! i'm reconfirmed in. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 Looking at how the elbows would fit, I think they would be a little off center. Not a perfect diamond. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Finger Four formation is more tactical/common anyways: Quote
Saburo Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 The configurations look great! I can't wait to experiment with different arm configurations. Quote
charger69 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 whipped this up quick. You could have some pretty neat formation flying going on. This is getting "Beyond Expectations Level" Quote
SpoonieG2010 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Man...this is ridiculously cool!! I cannot wait!! I just ordered my 1/48 M&M's so I'm down for the double arm!! Quote
SaitouSad Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 With my cabinet space shrinking at an incredible pace, these arms are just what I need!I've been thinking of possibilities to have my fighters "stacked" vertically to optimize the space, and this seems like a good alternative. Hope there will be opening to international buyers (Otherwise, I'll just use my usual forwarder) Quote
gunbuster76 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 clean. looks good. and a space saver. aaaaaand holds up to three valks. sign me up. Quote
