valhary Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 yes the neck comes with a join ball system like the dx bandai so the range of movement is very wide Quote
anubis20 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 but it cant look down much in battroid correct? Quote
Lolicon Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Anyone going to attempt to panel line and sticker up this bird? I'm REALLY trying NOT to want to buy this, and I'm wondering if the panel lines are too shallow to take a wash (The Arcadia YF-19 was horribly painful) I am but I prefer to draw all the lines in by hand, and only use washes for certain details. The lines are about the same in depth as the VF-1. Quote

I'm REALLY trying NOT to want to buy this, and I'm wondering if the panel lines are too shallow to take a wash (The Arcadia YF-19 was horribly painful) I panel lined my Arcadia YF-19 too. It was indeed painful. Don't know about this one..... Probably will have at it some time in the future after drinking too much scotch as has been the case in the past. Quote

I'm REALLY trying NOT to want to buy this, and I'm wondering if the panel lines are too shallow to take a wash (The Arcadia YF-19 was horribly painful) Robban75 already posted his VF-0S a few pages back with stickers applied. Hi everyone! Got my VF-0S a few days ago and thought I'd share some pics. Added some stickers to it. Very sturdy, very heavy! Quote
wmkjr Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I washed the VF-0A. It's a bit tricky as some of the lines are super shallow but doable. Quote
wmkjr Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I did just the wash on the VF-0A only and no decal. Quote

wmkjr Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Thanks guys. Derex, did you have to do anything to the Flory wash before applying like heating it up? Dunno if it's because of the matte finish but some of the wash remained stained on some of the non paneled areas. It's my first time trying a wash so I just put some on the lines and let it sit for awhile then wiped of the excess with a qtip. I blame ALL OF YOU for convincing me to order this tonight. I am weak and no self control....or money now..LOL. Edited January 6, 2016 by wmkjr Quote

It's my first time trying a wash so I just put some on the lines and let it sit for awhile then wiped of the excess with a qtip.It's definitely tricky with the matte finish Valks if you want crisp lines and no weathered stain look on some of the panels. I don't warm it..never heard of doing that, but now I'm kinda curious actually. I just use a very small brush and try to keep the wash in the panel line as much as possible. I find myself just licking my finger and or a paper towel to rub off the excess after it dries...but the timing is tricky. I'll post pics when I inevitably do mine once it arrives and I swoosh it around and play..err test it out for a few days! Edited January 6, 2016 by derex3592 Quote
wmkjr Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Thanks. Someone suggested heating in the micro for a couple seconds while others said to put a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Will try it later on today. Quote
anubis20 Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Usually on my gundam kits if the panel line is too shallow i lightly run a panel line scriber over the panel line to deepen it a little. Quote

I'll post pics when I inevitably do mine once it arrives and I swoosh it around and play..err test it out for a few days! True. I have a fine brush for using panel wash. But the one thing I hate using fine brush is that you can't put too much paint in it since it will just create smudges or big drops in the panel lines. And putting a small amount of paint also will give you short capillary effect. Usually on my gundam kits if the panel line is too shallow i lightly run a panel line scriber over the panel line to deepen it a little. What kind of panel line scriber works best on Arcadia valks, Anubis? Can you give me some links to it. Thanks! I take it that most folks are buying from HLJ. Yup. Though mine is still in their private warehouse waiting for the ET's VF-2SS. Quote
valhary Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 the neck system is like ozma´s first you have pull out (page 17 of the transformation manual) Quote
Frogze Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Speaking the head, I really love how the visor is now totally recessed in fighter mode. My sample was perfect, no QC problems at all on the valk, the only problem I had was with 2 of the missile pylons, the tip that clips into the wing not the hardpoint on the wing. These seem bent or maybe they're just badly molded so I'll have to straighten them up in order to fit. No big deal though since I'm planning to display the 0S in battroid with the armor on. The difference with the original release from Yamato may not be visible to most people outside our hobby but I love all the little added details (holes in the 0S's head lasers) and of course the quality feel of this toy.

valhary Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) also the arm extension give a little better pose review: http://hobbydeomotenashi.com/arcadia-vf-0s-review/ http://machinetoy.seesaa.net/article/431722550.html Edited January 7, 2016 by valhary Quote
seti88 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 just love this pic in the blog link above! M0 valks with wings folded and the closeness of the vf0a colors to the vf4... kawamori-san arigato for the years of design! Quote
spanner Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 that's a really nice shot eh! All we need now is the CF VF-0A.. oh and VF-0B and C variants! Quote
Lolicon Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 What happened to that 0S's yellow shoulder piece? Quote
seti88 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 that's a really nice shot eh! All we need now is the CF VF-0A.. oh and VF-0B and C variants! yes please! I wonder what we have to do to knock some sense into arcadia...i would thk even the JP collectors want them! It would be a no brainer just to swap cockpits around and repaint them...i would do it too but only my repainting skills are zero.... on that note i wonder if there is a guide how to remove the cockpits from the zero valks?? I dare not try... What happened to that 0S's yellow shoulder piece? what yellow shoulder piece? The yellow line above the intakes? Its always been there... Quote
wmkjr Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 The one in the machinetoy review has a missing right trap yellow lens missing. Had to look at the reviews as there was not enough info. Quote
