sh9000 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 The green looks cool too. Got the HM VF-19 Fire Valkyrie just to accompany the Blazer. It came sealed. Sticker sheet intact for the VF-1 Super Parts. I'll try to work on my HMR DYRL VF-1A's this weekend. Quote
SuperSenpai Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Wait, what??? The Hi-Metal super parts come with sticker sheets? That's actually an interesting twist... the only supers I have came with the Hi-Metal VF-1S, and everything was already printed. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Yeah the Hi-Metal Super Parts came with stickers to customize for the original Hi-Metal DYRL VF-1A's. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Does anybody knows if NY can be asked NOT to send an invoice with the package or estate a lower total value? I'm considering sending my Spartans directly to my place and taxes on chinese products here are crazy high. Quote
barurutor Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 N-Y does undervalue their items, plus a google search confirms this. Quote

sh9000 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Missile effects in April and Spartan in May. Quote
Roy Focker Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Milia is next month. I forgot who I've got my preorder with. I know I've got one. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I'm going to order possibly 2 more Milia's. One for a custom M7 VF-1J and the other for the red VF-1S from VF-X2. Quote

easnoddy Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Do we have a Tomahawk preorder date? Quote

sh9000 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 There aren't anymore Tomahawks. I preordered them all. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 HM VF-1J Max with Super Parts (I'll probably paint the lower part of the leg armor), HMR VF-1J Max with Super Parts, and future custom VF-1A Cavaliers. Quote
aaajin Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 took a quick crappy phone camera shot on the one i have on my home work desk Quote

Also, how hard is it to remove the head on a HMR VF-1? Have you ever tried swapping heads with an original Hi Metal? Quote

The HMR VF-1S and Armored VF-1J head can easily just be pulled off the torso as the head and neck are connected. The HMR VF-1J Hikaru, VF-1J Max, and CF VF-1A neck pegs are a little more difficult to pull off. I've only been swapping heads with other HMR VF-1's. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Just checking something out. Swapped arms, hands, shoulders, and legs. Quote

You know, when you first mentioned doing a TV Max, I was wondering to myself if using the legs and arms from the HMR Max 1J might get you farther along. It looks to me like it does, except that the whites don't match. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 I think it will be easier to swap everything back and paint the certain parts blue. Quote

sh9000 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) ^ Just a few more finishing touches. Edited February 15, 2017 by sh9000 Quote
wmkjr Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Looking good. Just gotta paint the shoulders, tip of the tail fins, and upper thigh area blue, upper arms and mid thigh/kneecap white, delete the red stripe, flip the colors of the small fins on the legs, and delete the yellow. Quote
